snydert317 Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 If you were the Patriots, how would your game plan be different if you faced Manuel as opposed to Tuel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papazoid Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 i'd have to play manuel honest. but i'm going to load the box, stop the run and force tuel to throw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l< j Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Probably the most important variable Belicheat is considering is the experience level of the QB he is facing (plus the youth surrounding him, esp. at WR). So in some respects, he might not change that much. Just a hunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CodeMonkey Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 (edited) Probably the most important variable Belicheat is considering is the experience level of the QB he is facing (plus the youth surrounding him, esp. at WR). So in some respects, he might not change that much. Just a hunch. I agree with this. He will probably prep for a rookie QB and if it ends up being Tuel he gets a bonus of going up against a less talented rookie QB. While we secretly wish he and the rest of the team are looking past the Bills to the Jets, just 4 days later Edited August 27, 2013 by CodeMonkey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storm Front Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 He will bring lots of pressure on Tuel and force him to make throws into coverage. Hopefully, our new WR's can get open in a hurry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSaint Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Plan for EJ, and try to keep his team motivated if it ends up being tuel. you arent gameplanning special for tuel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpberr Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Excellent question. I think the Pats are focusing more on the Bills defense because the hole that was exploited last year by their two TE set has been marginalized to a degree because Gronk is injured, Hernandez is gone and the Bills linebackers are now a lot faster. You just hope they can shut down the run. Brady and the Pats offense is what stirs their drink. Their defense is ordinary. Whether it's Tuel or Manuel behind center, the Bills *can* score on that defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 They will try to stop the run, force us to throw, and prepare for EJ because Belicheat is not stupid and knows it is very likely that is who they will get. If they get Tuel, they start preparing for the week after by halftime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gugny Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 I'd iron my best khakis and tumble dry my favorite grey hoodie with the cutoff sleeves, as it will be unseasonably warm in Orchard Park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KD in CA Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Neither has ever taken a snap in a real pro game before so I'm guessing the prep isn't going to be dramatically different. Take away Spiller, pinch the short slants and give him confusing coverages in obvious passing downs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Brady's biggest worry for this game is about which hotel he will be staying at in Buffalo. Maybe he'll private jet in and out on Sunday to avoid such horrible conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledInIllinois Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 I'd sign recently cut Bills so I could get the playbook. Is there any other answer? Look who you are talking about, this is Belicheat here. He know he holds a grudge forever. Payback for the Lawyer Malloy and subsequent 2003 31-0 2003 opening day stomping. Yes, it has been 10 years... :-P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kellyto83TD Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 I would sit back and order a hot dog, a Dr. Pepper and some Chili Nachos while letting my underlings call the plays. I mean really? With the hot mess we have become in the last few days do you think Billy B will even seriously game plan? They are thinking week 2 already Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowery4 Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 If I were them I would go slow down, run the ball smash mouth foot ball with a bit of playaction thrown in. Keep you D off the field and let the rookies make early mistakes or go 3 and out. Then go fast after 1/2 time to crush any resistance and run up the points. As long as our QB's start slowly (which is likely, IMO) Bills 17 Pats* 40 or something would be expected. God, that is depressing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are thinking week 2 already This isn't the University of Florida opening up the season with Roast Beef Tech before they go into SEC play. This is the NFL. NO coaches "look ahead to the next week". They cannot afford to. And if they did, their teams would get smoked. Grow up, Peter Pan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iraq Vet Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 I hope they load up the box and try to stop CJ. Something deep will open up. TJ or another speedster will break open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solomon Grundy Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 He will bring lots of pressure on Tuel and force him to make throws into coverage. Hopefully, our new WR's can get open in a hurry. +1. That's why if I'm Hackett and Marrone, I'm coming out in a 4 receiver set with Goodwin and Graham outside Woods and Stevie inside. One back set with Spiller and throw lots of deep balls to Goodwin/Graham, to keep safeties out box, and run draws to CJ. If they sent backers, hit Stevie and Woods with slants. Tuel will have to guard against batted balls because the Redskins exposed this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voodoo poonani Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Mark a win on the calendar for September 8th? Seriously, though. Like everyone said, load the box and stop the running game. Tuel's passes seemed low in the Washington game, so tell the DL to get their hands up. And don't worry about needing a QB spy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
