John from Riverside Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Tom Brady's 35-4 at Foxboro vs afc east. We got this ! So your saying there is a chance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metzelaars_lives Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 I vote yes. Have some faith. No Edelman, no Lewis. I think they have a better chance than most times they've played New England in recent memory but gun to your head, if anyone on this website would pick the Bills to win the game straight up, they need to be institutionalized.

Bills!Win! Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 I'm at the point in my life where it doesn't revolve around the Bills anymore and it feels good. Yes I still sit there and watch games and attend games but if a better option comes along, I don't pass on it to watch football anymore. It's actually been great, I've enjoyed better times missing, for example last year's home loss to New England, doing something more fulfilling and enjoyable. So this question is timely because I have friends who still plan their lives around them, some willing to skip out on some winter fun in January because they plan to watch a playoff game. That "if come" doesn't work for me. I plan my life around life now, not around football anymore. It's actually been amazingly helpful in grounding life to what matters. So I thought about this the other day and I might pass on the MN game for sanity's sake. Why go through 3 hours of frustration? I have zero faith they have even a 1% chance to win so what then is the point then? Is it hope? I've sat through 15 years of hope (or is it more, I've lost count and prefer not to know how bad it actually is) and I don't need hope anymore because it matters less to me every day. I still love home games, I love the social part, love hanging with my group of friends, love the atmosphere. I could live without watching them on TV so when it comes time to determine whether to buy in, it's not on hope anymore. I've become apathetic toward the team because of the losing and the same story every year. And I truly despise the NFL, from the idiots owners like Jones to the idiot players he sticks up for like Hardy. Coupled together, I've gone from a diehard, every Sunday all day guy to a season ticket holder who attends most games and watches many away games and has seen maybe 4 quarters of NFL the rest of the year. All that being said.... I'll probably tune in!!! Just because it's Monday night and I, in the immortal works of Chris Tucker in Friday, "ain't got **** to do." But if it were a Sunday like this past Sunday, I would have passed!! Yet here he sits making long posts on buffalo bills forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smuvtalker Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 (edited) If we're supposedly definitely gonna lose this one, we have no chance, chalk it up as a loss, etc, why are you even watching this game? This team? If the Patriots** are so damn good, why even watch the rest of the season, you know how it's gonna play out. Have some damn confidence in your team! If you don't think we're gonna win, get the hell out! We don't need you! What would Marv Levy say if he read this board? Jim Kelly? They'd be pissed I tell you that. There's a reason you play the game. Quit acting scared of the big, bad, Patriots**! Is the media saying we're gonna lose? We have no chance? Good! I don't give two flying Gugnies what the media says! It'll make victory that much sweeter! We're gonna earn some damn respect this coming Monday! LET'S GO BUFFALO! I don't think we're DEFINITELY gonna lose this one, but count me among those who don't think our chances are very good. I'll be watching along with the rest of us who still believe, and who still have hope for the playoffs this year. Do I have confidence in our team? Yep! Just not much, not against the Pats, not on Monday night in Foxboro, not with the refs in their back pocket, and not during a year when they have this "Us Against The World" mentality because of Deflategate. As much as it hurts to say it, the Pats have a greater chance of going undefeated the rest of the whole season than we do of winning Monday night. I hope like hell we shock the world, and if we win Monday night, Tuesday is most certainly going to be a sick day for me(ie alcohol poisoning). However, I just think the deck is stacked wayyyyy too far in their favor for us to win Monday night. Heck, Rex couldn't have put it better when he said that for us to win, we're going to have to play a darn near perfect game, and Brady and the Pats are going to have to have an off night. With that said.... Buffalo 37, New England 20 Edited November 18, 2015 by smuvtalker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SF Bills Fan Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Conventional wisdom and others that don't know all the details (around injuries etc) will take this at face value. The recent series history, current standings, game location etc and then, yes, it would appear this will be a lopsided win for the Pats. A closer look on this one - the Pats are banged up and missing key players. We have injuries too, but are generally healthier than we have been all year. We've gelled since the last meeting when the systems were still being learned. History is not relevant. This is not the same lesser squad with a sub par coaching like years past. Rex has beaten the Pats with the same type of team (perhaps even less talented) and is not intimidated. It will be a very good game and we may come out on top. The masses will be shocked, but we should not be. I'll be shocked if it is a blow out for the Pats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You watch because you want to be able to say that you watched the game that ended the Patriot strangle hold on us. I still remember the game we beat them a few years ago when Fred Jackson didn't run it into the end zone in an effort to kill more clock. I'm not scared of the Patriots as they are beatable but I know it's going to take a complete team effort to do so and most teams aren't good enough to be as controlled/smart to do so. I mean last week was a prime example when either Simms or Nance mentioned that it might have been wise for the Giants to kneel it on 1st down to possible take more time off the clock. To me the key to beating the Patriots isn't trying to outscore them but limit their abilities to score and the best way to do that is play slow move the chains football and avoid costly turnovers. It's what Rex did back in the ground and pound days of the Jets and hopefully we can do it Monday night.

finn Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 I was going to write "The Bills. Love 'em or leave 'em," but I knew the sarcasm would be lost on the O.P. I realize mindless jingoism is part of the game and definitely a big part of TBD, but it gets old, it really does, especially when the Pollyannas criticize anyone who points out the obvious, in this case that Ryan is a jackass taking his team backwards, the Bills tend to make fools of themselves on national TV, and their record against Brady and Belicheat is embarrassing. So why will I watch? Because I wouldn't still be a Bills fan if I didn't let hope triumph over experience. And because I live in Patriots* country and I want Brady et humiliated. So here's to the O.P. and others who demand mindless cheerleading as a condition of fandom: screw you. We're just as much fans as you, just less stupid.

(But I'll have it recorded) I'll check my phone at reveille. When the loss is confirmed, I'll delete the copy. Reality trumps hope every time.

BuffaloBaumer Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 There is not one person here who is convinced the Bills will lose but that doesn't mean that if the majority here HAD to bet, we would'nt bet the house on the Pats. I know I would.....Obviously the Bills CAN win and honestly, with the injuries, they may have a good shot if they don't Bills it up too much. I hope they keep it close but I fully expect to be 5-5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
