sven233 Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 (edited) 13 point dogs? I'll take it...... This is a game, if the Bills win and Allen plays well, can do a lot for his perception around the league and perhaps silence his critics for a while. Go get it, boys!!!

RiotAct Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 13 points sounds about right... on the road, pretty banged up (on offense), playing a New England team with Tom Brady who is on a two-game losing skid and has a lot to play for.

Inigo Montoya Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 (edited) Of course I'd love to beat the Pats this Sunday, but in the big picture it really doesn't matter. It was a helluva run, but the sun is finally starting to set in Foxboro and the Bills are on the upswing. Maybe not next year, but definitely by the following year there will be a changing of the guard in the AFCE. It will be the Bills and Jets battling for the division title with the Pats and Phins wandering in the desert. I think the Bills will be the team to beat.

26CornerBlitz Posted December 17, 2018 Author Share Posted December 17, 2018 Pittsburgh Steelers 17, New England Patriots 10 With an 8-yard completion to running back Rex Burkhead in the third quarter, Brady became the fourth quarterback in league history to throw for 70,000 career yards, joining all-time leader Drew Brees(73,908), Peyton Manning (71,940) and Hall of Famer Brett Favre (71,838). That was the good to come out of Sunday for the Patriots in a sea of bad. From dropped passes to a staggering 14 penalties for 106 yards, the Patriots had plenty of reasons to bemoan the defeat. Sunday's loss marked the first time the Patriots have lost consecutive games in December since 2002. -- Herbie Teope Pittsburgh 17-10 over New England Patriots: C- Bill Belichick is probably going to have a meltdown when he watches film of this game with his team. The Patriots made plenty of mistakes in this game, including an ugly red zone interception from Tom Brady in the fourth quarter that killed a New England scoring drive. Speaking of the red zone, the Patriots offense couldn't get anything done in that part of the field. The Patriots got inside of Pittsburgh's 15-yard line three times in this game and only came away with three total points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Livinginthepast Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 This would be a huge statement win for Allen and McD. We have nothing on the line here. It would great to see McD be aggressive and Daboll draw up an ambitious game plan and take risks. And of course damaging the Pats road to the SB would be the icing on the cake. The Pats have lost 2 in a row, the pressure will now be full on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CincyBillsFan Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 I'm an optimist by nature but I think the Bills get their butts whipped against the Pats and that Allen has a bad day. My reasoning is simple - when was the last time the Patriots lost THREE IN A ROW in DECEMBER? I suspect Belichick will become personally involved in the defensive game plan in order to try to destroy Allen on Sunday. Giving that the Pats are facing future great QB's in Buffalo and NY he will do what is needed to try to stunt Allen's development by creating the conditions for the rookie to have a bad game. Then if you add up the Bills injuries I just don't think we can go into NE and play well. Now I hope I'm wrong because it would make this season very sweet if we went into NE and robbed them of a bye week and home field in the divisional playoffs. Even better IMO is that if the Pats lose to the Bills Sunday, it really will mean that the evil empire is collapsing and next year the Division is WIDE OPEN.

26CornerBlitz Posted December 17, 2018 Author Share Posted December 17, 2018 Pats' Gilmore Takes issue with Brown's 'Dirty Move' New England Patriots cornerback Stephon Gilmore took issue with Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown during Sunday's 17-10 loss for what he called a "little dirty move." Gilmore, who shadowed Brown for most of the contest, explained after the game what caused the confrontation. "He did a little dirty move, grabbed my helmet, threw me down," Gilmore said, via Zack Cox of NESN. "That was super dirty. But other than that, just competing on the field."

TheFunPolice Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 (edited) I want to see those fancy NE fans with their $100 designer gloves and dumb little tassle winter hats grabbing their heads in disbelief as the Bills stick the DAGGER into any hopes they have of a first round bye! I also want close ups of Brady standing on the sidelines looking miserable as the Bills kneel out the clock at the end of the game to a chorus of boos. Bonus points for a huge sideline blowup between Brady and McDaniels after Brady throws his 2nd pick trying to avoid getting sacked by Kyle The Patriots are like a wounded cobra. Still very dangerous, but not the same team. their confidence has to be a little rattled, so let's rattle it some more! Brady is trying everything to avoid getting hit, and he is one of the worst QBs against the blitz this year. He is in self preservation mode. He is not a top QB in terms of stats this season, and he is making some bad decisions when he gets pressured that he didn't used to make. He has never liked getting hit and he doesn't like it any better at age 41. Gronk can barely move, and looks like a 50 year old retired RT coming back to play TE. The guy is toast. Sure, he can make the occasional play but so can any halfway decent TE. He is not a game changing weapon anymore, and that back is not going to heal up while playing all 17 games and hopefully the wildcard round. Edelman is breaking down from catching all those short passes and then getting walloped. It's what has made their offense work: take the snap, throw in 1-2 seconds to a wide open Edelman, and have him run for 5-7 yards before he gets destroyed by the DB/LB. Edelman has taken so many vicious shots for so long that it's starting to catch up with him. Same thing they did with Welker. By the time NE was done with him he was a mess physically. Sure, he had a good season or two with Denver, but he was pretty much washed up when they got rid of him. Hogan is just a guy. The rest of their WR crew is mediocre at best. The best way to beat NE is to run the ball and make sure to score TDs in the red zone. It sounds crazy, but if you make them 1 dimensional and put pressure on their offense to keep up that's when the problems arise. If you let NE run the ball and keep giving them chances in a close game they will beat you typically. No matter what happens, there will be no week 17 preseason walkthrough for them. They are going to need to play all 17 weeks. If Houston wins Saturday they are going to be staring at 2 extra games that their starters usually rest for.
