Haslett_Stomp Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 This is gonna be closer then people think cuz our D got embarrised last week....... but....its a tall order Interesting that the 538 site has the Pats favored 52% to 48% and the Elo spread is only 1/2 point.

That's No Moon Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 ...I mean seriously. A full strength Pats*** roster against our depleted WR corps, gimpy Shady, probably no AW? Good god -- I'm going to go out tailgating at 8:30 and get blitzed so I just won't care. My only questions are whether Brady will throw for 400 or 500 yards and whether the Pats will keep the margin under 50. I'm watching. To hell with the wuss talk. Hope the Bills kick the snot out of NE so we put this garbage talk to bed. Said I like 10 years ago. Brady's playing and the game matters? I learned my lesson.

Mark Vader Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 The good news is I wont have to watch as I will be traveling back from Jacksonville, most likely with a hangover from the Florida/Georgia game and the worlds largest cocktail party. I thought we weren't allowed to call it that anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bills!Win! Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 I like our chances. The beauty of football is that it is unpredictable. Who would have predicted Gronk's ACL in 2012, or Gronk's high ankle sprain in 2011, or Hernandez's murder conviction in 2013? Remember Edelman's broken foot in 2015? The Pats haven't been dealt a crippling injury this year. They will incur injuries it's inevitable. Hey maybe one of the players "accidently" hits belichick on the sidelines and gives him a concussion. Once every few years it seems a coach gets take out by injury.

TC in St. Louis Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 I hope that the Bills just jackhammer blitz the crap out of this guy. He's gonna get 350-400 either way, why not punish him? Hit him high, hit him low, hit him where the apples grow. If this is one of those games where they dance around and don't get any hits on the qb, I'm gonna puke. Might as well just jackhammer the guy. Why not? Make him remember the Bills. Like remember the titans, but with the Bills jacking him up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Vader Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 I'm surprised at a lot of these posts. Yes it sucks losing to the Patriots*, but I have to watch the Bills and cheer them on. Personally, I would not be shocked if the Bills won. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty McFly Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 I am prepared for a thorough massacre, but I will be watching and hoping that the Bills defense can get something done. If we can get a few shots at Brady and let's say the weather sucks, who knows? I don't see how we win this game. I'll be watching. Im rite there with you. Ill be watching my team no matter what and rooting them for the WIN! Im really not feelin this 'defeatist' attitude virus some of you are catching. We know its not likely we win with so many injuries but theyre our team. cmon now. Any given Sunday anything can happen GO BILLS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peace Frog Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 I must admit, I feel like the Paytoilets will beat us 45-6 but I'm watching anyway. I'm sick of our team being Brady's B|tch.

Kirby Jackson Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 I haven't read the whole thread but I actually think that the Bills play a pretty good game this weekend (unlike last week).

dorquemada Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Interesting that the 538 site has the Pats favored 52% to 48% and the Elo spread is only 1/2 point. When you have a data driven prediction mechanism, that's devoid of context, the blowouts against terrible teams make the Bills seem better than they are. I used to dabble in this, and ended up writing a routine that would only consider the first 13 points in a victory to try to control for that.

PolishDave Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Another crazy idea - Bring in Duke Williams and have him play MLB in place of Preston Brown. I like Preston Brown but I think he normally gets torched against those middle passes that the Patriots like to throw. Let Lorenzo or Zach Brown make the D calls on the field. And have Duke play aggressive and really attack the ball in the passing game. He also might make a better/faster "A" gap blitzer than Preston Brown. No idea if Duke would understand Preston's position well enough to be able to play it for a game though - probably not. I know it will never happen. Just a crazy idea. Trying to throw things against the wall to see what sticks when playing against the Patriots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 (edited) Shady isn't the Bills best player in your opinion?no, Watkins is the most talented player on offense and is a total game changer when he is in there. McCoy is a stud and can be 1B. The dropoff between Watkins and the other WRs on this team is startling. Without Watkins it makes the offense predictable and one dimensional to game plan for. Fwiw they had neither last week. Edited October 28, 2016 by YoloinOhio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TC in St. Louis Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Pretty much every person in America is picking the Pats. There are two guys at work picking the Bills, but one of them is Bosnian and thinks soccer is football. The other guy is the kind of guy who always gets it wrong. Whenever everybody picks one way, it goes the other way. Think back to the Arizona game. We had just been humiliated by the Jets and we were going to get lambasted by the Cardinals. But we beat the hell out of them. bottom line: I'll be at the Fox and Hounds in Chesterfield, watching the game with the same dedicated Bills fans that watched last week's debacle. We never give up.

I think Shady would be 1A in your scenario, but I can see the other way as well. Look at the difference between the first half last week with Shady and the 2nd half without if you want to see what difference he makes. Shady was in last week, but also a good point that he was not himself in the first half and missed pretty much the entire second half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Major Mud Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 This game will seem like DejaVu when all is said and done. The Patriots haven't been swept by a division opponent in years, and they are averaging a 24 pt margin of victory in the decisive game to avoid a season sweep. Going by the numbers, key injuries and recent history. A 37-13 victory by the Patriots seems inevitable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
