YoloinOhio Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 (edited) https://buffalonews.com/2019/05/10/buffalo-bills-laadrian-waddle-new-england-patriots-josh-allen-tom-brady-bill-belichick-sean-mcdermott-nfl-football-2019/ The Bills’ LaAdrian Waddle, shown here blocking Leonard Floyd of the Chicago Bears, said “Being over in New England, every time we played Buffalo, they definitely always played us tough. They always gave us a hard time and playing them, you can see those guys play hard.” Usually, it’s the other way around. Players leave the Buffalo Bills for the New England Patriots, looking to find out firsthand what it’s like to be on the dynastic side of the NFL tracks.

gjv001 Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 I feel Waddle is being polite. Until we start beating New England on a regular basis, we should not expect their respect. 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianthomas Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 I havent read the article but I would think they respect our fans & even how hard our team plays them. They may even show us respect because they respect every team they play enough to play them hard week in & week out. Not sleeping on an opponent is maybe 1 way they've continued to beat the teams they were supposed to beat. They've been THE team to beat for the past decade. They're professional & a team like that should respect other teams their playing, we should too. In my opinion I don't make much of Waddle's statement, other than it makes sense that they would respect us to some degree. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freddie's Dead Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 Teams who respect you don't act the way the Cheats did at the end of the game when Fitz beat them. They don't drill a guy in the head well after the play is over. They don't run up the score. The Cheats don't respect us one bit 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he’s referring to the fact they do respect them when they are preparing to play them, regardless of the history. They don’t view them as an easy win even though they have always found a way to beat them in the last 20 years. Ask Ohio state if they still respect the Michigan game. Sure it’s not the same traditional rivalry but they’ve beaten them with regularity for the last 20 years but approach that game each year like they haven’t. It’s that edge that Brady/Belichick have, I can’t stand them as a Bills fan but they are as competitive as they come.

Playing against Bellichick is like tempering your sword by putting into the hottest of fire. They prepare better than anyone, and are Queens of the half time adjustment. some folks have forgotten perhaps. MCd said quietly , early in his tenure here... We are building to beat the Patriots. quite sure that is the focus still. I like this LaAdrian fellow and hope we can find a spot for him on the 53. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a really good analysis a few years back that showed how Atlanta could have killed the clock completely if they just ran the ball. Too many incomplete passes in the second half gave the Cheats the time they needed to come back. Another example of stupid coaching giving the Cheats an SB they didn't deserve. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nihilarian Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 (edited) Easy to beat...tough to play... NE vs Buffalo In 2014 with the #4 defense overall the Bills got trounced by the Patriots 37-22 in Buffalo. That 2014 season the Buffalo Bills led the NFL in sacks with 54! The Bills only sacked Brady 2x. Although they beat the Patriots in the last game of the season at NE. The 12-4 Patriots Brady played the first half, Garoppolo played the second in a 17-8 win. The Pats had already home field throughout so the win didn't matter. 2016 with Brady suspended week four the Bills beat the Patriots 16-0 at NE with Jacoby Brissett at QB for NE. The next time they meet in Week eight the Bills get beat 41-25 at Buffalo with Brady at QB. 2018 Buffalo Bills had the #2 in yards allowed, #18 in points allowed. The Bills lost both games. In his 18 years in the NFL the Buffalo Bills have been Tom Brady's beiotch. The Biggest difference between the teams has been one player...da GOAT! 40 playoff games, 14 pro bowls. 9 super bowls with 6 wins. Since 2000 the Patriots have only missed the playoffs 3 times. 16 years of playoffs. During that same time frame 2000-2018 the Buffalo Bills made the playoffs ...once Edited May 13, 2019 by Nihilarian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's something I wish the Bills could do but we never seem to find a coach who keeps his foot on the gas pedal instead of pumping the brakes.... Take the Vikings game last season for example. The way we played on offense in the 1st half, we could of easily finished the game with 40+ points maybe even 50, but as soon as we got a comfortable lead, we called run plays only to kill clock and it worked but it easily could've been 3 and outs and put ourselves in a nail biter in the 4th quarter... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt_In_NH Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Pretty sure no team has been dominated more in the last 20 years then Pats over Bills. Living in NE, I often here about how the Bills "play tough" but for the most part I dont see it unless a cat plays tough with a mouse before it decides to finish it off which is how I have seen the last two decades for the most part.

frostbitmic Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Respect ? ... They basically beat us twice a year and we have no one to stand up for their brothers. When Meathead Gronkowski brutally assaulted Tre White not one of our players stood up for Tre. When Vince Wilpork took out Losman's knee with an obvious elbow, not one player stood up for JP. Until our players stick up for each other there will be no respect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
