WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 You know, I really don't want to get my hopes up. I really don't want to get strung along, hoping for something that's not going to happen. But really, if, and I concede that it's a prett big f 'in if the Bills are going to beat the Patriots anytime in the near future, now is the time. We are coming off of two big wins: a blowout and an incredible comeback. We have momentum. We have the home field advantage with a bunch of screaming excited fans. We have an offense which can light up the scoreboard and run the ball down their throats. More importantly, the two things which people have talked about as necessary to beat the Pats may just be possible due to injuries: Putting pressure on Brady and shutting down their TE's. With the Patriots O-line hurt, we NEED to put pressure up the middle and ruin Tom Brady's pocket. See what the Jets did last year in the playoffs. Ordinarily I would call it a wish, but if their center is out and their chemistry is off...just maybe. Also, with Gronkowski now released they only have one TE, which puts the kibosh on the 2 TE set they've been running out of so much. Sure, they can adapt but that's one less weapon they have. Well, it's a long shot but I will be watching every minute of it. GO BILLS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fan in San Diego Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 The biggest thing to beat the Pats is to not turnover the ball and no stupid penalties. we do that and we win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stealth Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 The biggest things is to not go in expecting to lose to NE like the Bills of the past decade have done on a consistent basis. Man the hell up and leave everything they have on the field. More so than a win, the biggest thing I'd like to see is that they're "not afraid" of NE. Something I haven't seen from past Bills teams. That and yeah obviously limiting turnovers and ball possession will be key Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kemp Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 The biggest thing would be for Merriman to act like it's pre-season again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Caveman Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 I think our best chance will be to score more points than them. Or, just possibly we might be able to allow fewer points than they do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Senator Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 (edited) Time of Possession: Buffalo Bills 37:02 Kansas City Chiefs 22:58 Final Score: Buf 41-KC 7 Buffalo Bills 30:47 Oakland Raiders 29:13 Final Score: Buf 38-Oak 35 Almost identical T.O.P. = extremely close game; T.O.P. for 2/3rds of the game = Bills blowout. Amazing, isn't it? The Cheatriettes* are not football gods, and they* are certainly not invincible. They* are very beatable, maybe even vulnerable. They* can't run their* 2 TE* formations*, their* o-line* and secondary* are both depleted, and they* may or may not have a punter*. NE* is good, the Bills are good. Our QB, RBs, WRs, TE, O-line, stack up just fine against theirs*. Our D-line, LBs, secondary, and special teams are better. Moorman and Lindell are very familiar with the swirling winds at RWS, and the stadium will be filled with the thunderous noise of 75,000 screaming Bills faithful. Control the clock, control the ball, protect the ball, no stupid penalties, no stupid mistakes, and blitz blitz blitz (just the nearness of an opposing LB or lineman makes Brady* tremble with fear). If the Bills can do all that, there's no reason - no reason at all - that this won 't be another Bills blowout... BuffTown Bills 57 New* England* Cheatriettes* 0 GO BILLSSS!!!!

Pneumonic Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 Win the turnover battle and make the Pats score 3's instead of 7's a couple of times and this game can be won. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fan in San Diego Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 I watched the Pats - San Diego game. San Diego looked like they could have won the game. BUT , they turned the ball over three times in the red zone. They moved the ball down the field, got into the red zone and shot themselves in the foot. They might have won that game but for the turnovers. By the way, our offense is way more explosive than San Diego's. Their offense looked awkward. Vincent Jackson and Tolbert FB had to make plays with Pats players all over them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrFishfinder Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 (edited) Keep Brady off the field as much as possible and theres a shot the Bills can pull this off! yes... and.... Bills need to score more TD's than FG's when they get in the red zone. Bills need to keep NE to FG's as much as possible when NE is in the red zone. Bills CANNOT turn the ball over late in the game. Bills D needs to force some 3 and outs late in the game. Keep the score close and they have a shot at winning this thing, especially if Freddy gets > 100 yards & we win TOP or keep it very close.

shoretalk Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 No mistakes ... no stupid penalties ... pressure on Brady ...

3rdand12 Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 Mr. Merriman should do his best Moats on Favre imitation. Shawne get in there and talk to young Arthur. Your gonna get fined, but i bet we will all chip in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
