The draft capital the Fins have is insane. If they knock this draft and the next draft oit of the park watch out. 

I've seen this movie before. It will take years for the team to recover, or they won't if they pick the wrong QB. And there is zero chance that the current regime there isn't fired. Nobody survives a tank.

I know you're not arguing my point, but just wanted to respond with some numbers after doing a bit of digging:

 

I just checked, Brady is 30-3 against the Bills (with one of those losses being the final game of the season where he only started the game, then was pulled along with the rest of the starters for the 2nd half to rest).

So he has a 91% win percentage against us, while Manning had an 80% win percentage against the Jags, and he did it for longer.

Since 2001, the Pats have put up 1,015 points against us compared to our 555 points against them. In that time frame, here are the Bills lone wins:

1) 2003: Bills win 31-0 in Buffalo to open the season

2) 2011: Bills win 34-31 in Buffalo

3) 2014: Bills win 17-9 in New England to finish the season, Pats rested many starters as they clinched playoff spot already

4) 2016: Bills win 16-0 in New England, Brady was suspended, Jimmy G was injured, Pats were starting 3rd string rookie Jacoby Brissett.

That's all our wins in 18 years. That's an unparalleled type of dominance that's probably some kind of NFL record (or at least way the hell up there). Brady's thrown for 8,248 yards, 69 TD's & 24 INT's against Buffalo alone.

He has more wins IN BUFFALO (16) than any of our own starting QB's since Jim Kelly (Tyrod Taylor is the next closest with 14). I doubt many other teams can say an opposing QB has more wins in their home stadium than any of their own QB's the past 22 years except maybe the Browns with Big Ben...and even then, by virtue of Brady almost never being injured & being around longer, I bet he still has more.

 

Prior to Brady, the All-Time record in the Patriots vs Bills rivalry was 39-37-1 in favor of the Bills. Since then, it has become 73-43-1 in favor of the Patriots. That's ridiculous.


**********************

TL;DR - Brady & the Pats have been SO damn dominant against the Bills, it's pretty much ingrained in the mind that the Bills start every season 0-2 by default. It's made it actually difficult to imagine that one day, Patriots fans will be discussing an upcoming Bills matchup & legitimately thinking "we know we're going to lose to the Bills, so we have to get our 9 to 10 wins elsewhere."

But man, if that day comes, it will be an amazing time to be a Bills fan. That's for damn sure.

The Patriots have historically been a pain in the arse. Even Steve Grogan gave us fits.

I don't think anyone did at the time. There was a guy so confident he bet 5K on the Vikings to win and bragged about his bet in this forum. Didn't go so well.

 


didn't believe that for one second

This is a good test for the Bills, win a game you're supposed to.  If they lose, members of these forums might start jumping off cliffs.

 

I may, but I've also wanted to skydive all my life, so at least I should have a parachute so I can return to posting by Tuesday!

We beat them there a few years ago. Granted, their best Offensive players got hurt and we had to stave them off at the goaline in the end, but we won.


yeah I forgot about that one game.  He is 4-1 versus the Bills.  Seems to me that he mostly plays well vs Buffalo.  Even that preseason game when he was dropping dimes on Vontae Davis
