The key to beating the Patriots this Sunday is...


Recommended Posts

The Defense needs to play the best game of their year to date, Tyrod needs to be unleashed to run as often as he'd like, and there needs to be a +2 turnover ratio in the Bills favor. Running game should be good, but Belichick is good and smart enough to know they will need to stop Shady and Tyrod, so they'll keep a spy in on almost every play, and force Tyrod to throw efficiently. 

 

Also, I think if the Bills win, they'll need at least 2 big Offensive and 1 big Defensive play, ala long run / pass for TDs and one INT or fumble recovery to put the Bills immediately in the Red Zone (so, not a TD necessarily).

Don't think Brady has ever lost a game when it snowed.

 

True, but there's snow and the unique blizzard conditions that can happen only in a Buffalo lake effect storm. Conditions where it essentially shuts down any passing, thus making the game a coin flip rather than a 95% certain Pats* win.

You can say D or running game, but it really hinges on TT. And knowing they will be disciplined to contain him from running outside and bring a good pass rush/blitz up the middle, the only chance is TT making them pay with quick decisive throws - the throws he almost never even attempts. He can do it but will he revert to being too safe? Dude has nothing to lose, please please please just let the ball go.

Better planning and execution.  The Patriots despite what everyone here seem to think are capable of losing NFL games.  If we don't make mistakes, there's no reason we can't pull it out.  I suspect the team has been circling this one on the Calendar since week 1.
