Booger Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Looking ahead to week 17. Do the Pats beat the Bills down in week 17 because of the Bills win earlier in the year....even if they have clinched Home Field Advantage? I can seem the doing it the Patriots way...No Mercy and setting like 9 Offensive records in the process....then quotes like "we were just tuning up for the playoffs"..."it was a good warm up"....

And before the game: "That's a tough Bills team," "They don't give up." "They have a lot of injuries, but this is still the NFL and anyone can win on any given Sunday." "Spiller is elusive. We'll have to work hard to stop him." And... cue beatdown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOBILLS78 Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 I can tell you one thing -- if that's the case, I'd be surprised if Welker played! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CodeMonkey Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 (edited) I can see it happening given the embarrassing loss earlier in the season. Were I the Bills owner, I'd let the D know that if the pats are up by a bunch late in the 3rd and Brady is still in there trying to score, I'd pay any late hit fines on Marcia (as long as they were vicious and with intent to injure).

PromoTheRobot Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 If the Pats have clinched #1 seed expect Ryan Mallett to start and for the Pats to rest most if not all of their starters. This game has no playoff implications so it's not like the NFL would have a problem. Even playing Pats backups I doubt we will win. PTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Observer Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 If you think a Patriots team with nothing more to earn will give a crap about the Bills, you're crazy. Expect revenge next season. If that game means something, the Pats will win by 30+. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PTR Especially Pats* backups who don't get a chance too often and have something to prove. Pats* backups against our backups is a Pats* blowout. GO BILLS!!!

Hapless Bills Fan Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 If the Pats have clinched #1 seed expect Ryan Mallett to start and for the Pats to rest most if not all of their starters. This game has no playoff implications so it's not like the NFL would have a problem. Even playing Pats backups I doubt we will win. PTR I hate to say this, but we looked Soooooo bad the last 2 weeks I could see this happening, like it did with the Jets last year. The Pats sit Brady, Welker, Gronk and many of their starters on D, and we still get whumped out of the ballpark by their backups. Pats backups have something to prove, and the Pats are a system team.

ACor58 Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 I might be in the minority here but there is no way that Belicheck loses to the Bills twice in one season. I just can't see him letting that happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This game has no playoff implications so it's not like the NFL would have a problem. Even playing Pats backups I doubt we will win. PTR I agree. Mallett would smoke us, while Fitz would throw 3 more INT's. I think they'd play most of their defensive starters, however, as that is a soft spot on that team. I think Brady plays a few series, it's not like we have a pass rush! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best Player Available Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Hmmm yeah forgot they had Mallett. They could very well want some live reps for him. And who better than the Bills D at home for that. I kind of remember mallet in pre season. it was his first appearance. he started the second half, and promptly threw 4 td passes in four consecutive drives. I don't remember who they were playing. Even with Mallett in there it could be ugly. The hoody will show zero mercy for us having the gall to beat them earlier this year. Especially since Chan out coached him.
