bisonbrigade Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 I predict that Tom Brady will leave on an Ambulance gurney. Remember his Buffalo hotel shot last year. I bet Marcel Dareus Does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dean Cain Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Here's how I see it, Bills 23 Patriots 17. I like our defense & I think we score a defensive TD & get a long return setting up a short EJ Manuel led TD drive. EJ won't throw the critical pick in the 4th that plagued Bledsoe & Fitz. EJ throws it away & we get a FG. And our defense sack strips Brady as he's conducting a 2 minute come from behind attempt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
transient Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 I think it'll be a surprisingly close Bills loss (hopefully not a "why didn't you just take the touchback" sort of loss). My prediction is that Mrs. Bungchin strains her mangina whining to the refs and Gisele comes to her aid post-game by calling out everyone not named Tommy.

TheBrownBear Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Well, the way I see it is that the Pats have beaten us 95% of the time since Bill Clinton left office, and about 70% of those have been humiliating beatdowns. Given that we have a rookie coach and a rookie (possibly injured) QB, I expect the trend to continue. Pats 41 Bills 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfan714 Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 (edited) Not feelin much optimism. This defense has given up 3 of the 4 highest point totals in franchise history the last 3 years. Now were are going against Brady without Gilmore and possibly Byrd. Pettine has to be better than Wanny but he's not a miracle worker. A rookie HC and QB against a future HOF coach and QB----Pats 37--Bills 17. Edited September 5, 2013 by billsfan714 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyjustbcuz Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 I wish it was't so, but when reality sets in and we realize that we couldn't stop the run, and our CB's got burned on a regular basis in the New England game it will be very humbling. We have a very young, inexperienced team and coaching staff. It will take time for them to gel in game scenarios. Besides N.E. seems to have Petine's number...at least when he was a Jets coach! The loss of Stephen Gilmore really hurts and will cost the Bills at least 7 points if not more! My prediction is N.E. 31 Buffalo 17 and that may be generous, as I could see it go to 42-13 if it gets ugly. Some of it depends on Armedola and the N.E. receiving group....as Wes Welker may be difficult to replace. With Ron Gronkowski out 31-17 seems logical. That said, I hope I am way off the mark!!! I hope the Bills find it within themselves to beat the Patriots, and if it somehow goes there way maybe Buffalo 31-27 would be the ticket. But, I'm not trying to play both sides of the coin, and I'm sticking with N.E. 31-17 and will remain pessimistic until the Bills prove otherwise against a winning team, as their history dictates that they can't beat a winning team period! Let us Pray! Go Bills!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ET1062 Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Based on our starting secondary: Patsies 72 Bills 28. The Bills do want lots of plays, this is what is going to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronyAbounds Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 (edited) Hard to believe that the Bills with its secondary are going to win this game. The offense could score 35, or it could score 3, there is absolutely no way to know how EJ will perform given his limited playing time in the preseason (two series against starters is not a sufficient amount of time to get ready for the NFL). What EJ needs to do is enough so that the Patsies can't load the line and shut down Spiller. Anything beyond that is really expecting too much at this point. I'm thinking NE 38 to 17.

BUFFALOKIE Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 I just woke up, came to the garage for a smoke and opened this thread on my phone. It sparked a memory of the dream I just had. Really... First play of the game - Brady's pass deflects off the ceiling fan. Belechick and two fans tumble down a long concrete stairway and into a water fountain while wrestling for the ball. Jeff tuel comes up with it and strolls back up the stairs while Belicheck begins lecturing the children to stay out of the pool and he shows everyone the scrapes on his legs and elbows. Me and my two kids hop in a conoe and float away down the river while someone else lights off a string of firecrackers. Great dream. LOL. I have no idea who wins. GO BILLS!!!

TPS Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 (edited) The Pats always start strong; they will be well prepared. EJ struggled early with nerves in the first bills scrimmage and his first preseason game. I expect the same Sunday. I don't think the first half will be pretty, but the bills will make a comeback in the second and fall short. 34-24 Pats.

buffalobill43 Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Love the optimism some of you are showing, but let's look at the facts: - New Coaches - New System - Rookie QB - Rookie LB calling the defensive plays - Very inexperienced LB and DB corps overall going against arguably - Top Coach of the last decade - Top QB of the last decade - Strong running game we have not been able to stop - Very strong DTs and LBs for NE. I predict 45 - 19 for the Patsies, busy day for Carpenter (4 FGs) and probably a TD from Special Teams. I think we will see tons of three and outs, putting our defense on the field an awful lot and getting tired early. I'd be happy if we see some positive play from Manuel and I'd rather have him take his licks early on in the season against a team we probably wouldn't beat anyway. Also hoping for the secondary to prove me wrong, but they are my biggest worry right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xsoldier54 Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 I kinda like us at home. Maybe 20-17, something like that. If we hold them under three TD, I think we win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atlbillsfan1975 Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 It will be close. being a Bills fan i say the Bills win. I also think after the game Belichick and Brady are going to say 'that is a different Bills team. They have a legit coach, legit QB, and a legit D.' Belichick and and Brady will both have a look of disbelief on their faces as they watch the clock run out. it will not be like two years ago where the Bills 'stole' one in the Pats eyes. This time the Bills just beat the Pats straight up man to man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately this game will bring many back to reality, Pats* 38 Bills 13. My optimism will start the next two games. I think that the Bills deserve to be huge 11.5 underdogs if only because of Brady vs rookie QB factor. However, I'm very excited about the big potential of the young players. I really can see the potential there for a shocker Bills win. That stadium is going to be nuts and if the Pats defense lets them have some success on offense, the energy will be unreal. I'm not predicting a score or who will win because I just want to enjoy the positive energy of this team. Even if they get blown out, which is possible, I really like the direction this team is heading in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nathan Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Pats 35, Bills 28. Bills are down 35-21 with a few minutes to play. EJ almost mounts a comeback by scoring in the last couple minutes to make it 35-28, but it's too little, too late. The onside kick after fails and the Pats hold on. But the closeness of the game gives us fans enough optimism that things are looking up in Buffalo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
