It's going to take a great day by our offense and we'll have a shot. I think those mid-twenty scores are encouraging. We hold them to 25 points, we've got a great chance of beating them.

I think 4TDs gets us a win. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dkollidas Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 They gotta get Ed Oliver working on the inside. Get him in Brady’s face all day. Hit him and you’ve got a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beast Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 1 hour ago, TwistofFate said: Patriots will be exposed on Sunday. National media falls all over them because it sells. Ive said it before and ill say it again, we are statistically on par with them offensively and better than them defensively. This team will be ready for them on Sunday in every way. Imo the Bengals are much more potent than NE on offense. Or they fall all over them because they have 6 Lombardi’s and been to the SB 9 times.

nedboy7 Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Pats havent given up an offensive touchdown yet in three games. Let's see if Allen can shove a couple down their throats! 1 hour ago, gjv001 said: If the Bills defense holds the Pats to 17 points or less, then they are the best defense in the lesgue. no the universe.

Different networks (ESPN/CBS). I like our chances to hold the Pats under 25. McD has had some really good game plans vs. them the last two years. I'm less confident in our offense to keep it close.

hondo in seattle Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 (edited) Buffalo's Dominant Defense CATEGORY STAT RANK Drives/Gm 11.8 29th Avg Starting FP 69.4 31st Pts/Drive 1.51 3rd Yds/Drive 24.8 1st TD% 17.1% 3rd TO% 16.1% T-2nd Score% 28.1% 3rd Three-and-Out% 36.2% 1st There isn't one stat that defines a defense. But the defensive stat I've always thought best measures defensive success is yards/drive. And we're ranked #1 there. That's exciting.

billsfan89 Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 I don't know about the best defense but it's pretty dam good certainly playing like a top 2-3 unit in the league. What has really impressed me about the defense has been the tackling. The tackling was good last year but it seems to be even better this year. The defense is mostly the same players (Ed Oliver being the only major addition and Kyle being the only major loss) however the team seems to be comfortable playing with each other and within the system. It is very refreshing to see the defense not missing a lot of tackles and playing very disciplined. The lack of an elite pass rush might cause some issues against better offenses but the pass rush isn't chopped liver either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solomon Grundy Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Ex Patriot Willie McGinest doesn't think so. Just gave his game ball to SF defense 4 hours ago, Tenhigh said: I'd be interested to know what BB thinks about that crazy near pick where Allen completely missed the safety. Is he going to try and bait him with some of those "too good to be true" reads? Yeah, but if he didn't get his hand on that ball it was dropping right into Robert Foster's mitts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bills have a good defense let's see where they finish up at the end of the year. I'm guessing top 10, maybe top 5. Brady will put up points, but if we can run the ball and keep him under 28 points, we have a shot. His OL injuries are worse than ours. Time for Ed Oliver to have a breakout game. Harry Phillips will be missed. White and TJohnson/Neal need good games. Obviously Josh needs to eliminate all mental mistakes. Can he do that yet? They need to hold Edelman to 80 yards or less and 1 TD max. Edited September 24, 2019 by GreggTX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
