Patriots see plenty of differences from Bills team they beat Dec. 3

The quick-turnaround loss to the Dolphins can serve as a lesson for a Patriots team preparing for a similar situation against the Bills.

 

Devin McCourty: No extra fireworks with Bills after Gronk's late hit

The Patriots expect a "competitive" and "chippy" game against the Bills but say the Gronk incident shouldn't be a factor.

The back of that #11 Bills jersey should have the name LUCKY on it. 

 

Why does anyone take that number? Once Zay took it, I knew he was going to under perform.

I'm tired of this organization being scared of NE.

 

It doesn't matter who the coach is and who the players are.........,... they bend over backwards for Brady and BB.

 

If the Bills wanna make the playoffs, they had better play AND COACH to win, not play and coach not to lose.

 

Until that changes, the results won't.

Give Zay a break.

 

If it is the same with him this time next year, then get on him.

 

Being a rookie WR in the NFL isn't an easy transition for every WR that breaks into the NFL.

 

Andre Reed's impact was minimal. Moulds was awful. Just a couple of examples.

If/when Say starts catching footballs consistently I'll give him a break.

 

Just because Jerry Rice struggled the first couple of years has no bearing on if Zay will ever be good.  James Hardy struggled the first couple of years too

 

Jerry Rice worked through by practicing A LOT. I hope Zay is doing likewise.

When Mularkey was HC, he took the players out for cheeseburgers one night during a west coast trip to keep the guys loose the night before.  Can't remember if it worked or not.

 

 

 

It did (at the time).  They were in the midst of a 6-game winning streak that got them in contention for the playoffs on the final weekend...and then they lost at home to Pittsburgh's scrubs.

Why do they expect "chippy" game then?
