On a scale of 1-10, how confident are you getting a win today?

[Steptide]

1 being not confident at all and 10 being an indefinite win. 

 

I'm at about a 4 right now. I think the bills can pull this off, but it's gonna take absolutely everything going right for the bills. I think Allen needs to have an almost perfect game and hopefully daboll puts him in position to do so

[Kirby Jackson]

3 and my feelings are similar to yours.

 

The Bills haven’t played well outside of the 2nd quarter vs. the Giants. That leaves me optimistic. I think that they are a good team that hasn’t played well not a bad team playing over their heads. That makes me believe that the Bills are in this thing for the long haul.

If they're going to win against the pats this is the game.  All they have to do is be perfect.  ?

[Stank_Nasty]

I was at a 4 before the singletary news... bout a 3.5 now.

[Pine Barrens Mafia]

5. Could go either way but I predicted a loss

[Just Joshin']

My mindset is "hope for the best, expect the worst".  I think 3 is a fair number.  While the Bills team is improved, the same core is there for NE. 

[TroutDog]

I vacillate between a 2 and an 8.

 

Walking around Wegmans this morning, I told everyone in Bills gear that we’re gonna win and they all emphatically agreed. Doing all I can to hold onto that feeling!

 

GO BILLS!!!!

I’m at a 3 as well. 

Not sure this team is ready to put 4 solid quarters in which is what it would take to pull off a win. Still exciting to be in the position of having such an important statement win game this early in the season. I’d love to see a similar game to Minnesota last year where nobody expected much yet the team came out and just dominated.

1 ...  I know the Bills will play hard and I believe they're narrowing the talent gap rapidly but I don't believe they'll be allowed to win ... Watch for phantom penalties on the Bills at inopportune times.

[cd1]

I think I am at about a FIVE.

 

This surprises me because normally, I would not even watch the game - I HATE watching them annihilate most any team they play.

 

I don't billeive that will happen today.

5.  No singletary and a lot of questionables for us  still and the douchebag edelman is playing for pats.

[whorlnut]

I’d say 4. I think we have less than an average chance of winning this game. I mean let’s be honest guys...they are the Patriots and we are still learning how to win games. Going forward I will like our chances more, but I fear that the Pats will teach us who still has control on the division today.

2.  i feel we have to have a lot of things happen and they dont.  

[Steptide]

They're definitely hyping up this game on NFL network this morning. At the very least I hope the bills can make a game of it

[HalftimeAdjustment]

I am at a 3. The Patriots have played winless teams but they are still the best until proven otherwise. However... it won't last forever. Hopefully we can make a good showing and this is probably our best chance to win in years.

0 turnovers (even if 0 from the Pats’ end)- 5. Losing that battle and without Singletary, a 2. 

[BuffaloBillies]

4, unless Edelman & Burkhead are severely limited and/or have to leave game due to injury... then I'm at a 6! Just win. Go Bills.

2 - we never beat the Pats. Hoping for a good game though. 

[Don Otreply]

10,  Because i’m Just that way, 

 

Go Bills!!!

[LB3]

8...our D will step up and Josh will reward them.

[Victory Formation]

I’m just hoping for signs of life. A competitive exertion. Hope going forward. A sign that Buffalo is going to ascend in the near future.

[BillsFanSD]

About a 2, maybe a 3.  The Bills are capable of winning this game if they bring their A-game for all four quarters.  That's a lot to ask for such a young team, though, and I think New England's talent advantage gives them the win.

[Steptide]

My fear is our run game is gonna be non existent. Gore and yeldon are just not THAT good, and I feel they'll have to rely on Allen alot

[Maynard]

2. I’ll be drinking bourbon by the second quarter.

If Allen manages to avoid the regular 2nd/3rd quarters of 50 yards and a turnover or three, we move the chains well enough to have a chance in every game. It’s mostly on him, but the coaches need to throw out more jumbo sets against the 3rd quarter blitzes until the game slows down enough for him. Given his rushing ability, we can contain QB spies and hit the outside with DiMarco leading into the TE/WR block. Would like to see some option plays and more quick throws to the double TEs or slot in a heavy set and pick up the pace vs. outside blitzes.

With my heart...6.  With my head...2.  I think the game will be competitive but it would still be a pretty big upset. 

[Radar]

1. Just don't see a chance that I can register. That would go to a five or six without Brady factor.

[ALLEN1QB]

10 I don't think it's going to be close

[Jpsredemption]

0. Not ready yet and this Patriot team as a whole may be one of the best we’ve seen. Notice I said as a whole. Their defense is incredible and Tom is still Tom.

I’m already drinking bourbon...I’m also a 2. I’m sure the lots are pretty active right now but we’re leaving town for vacation in a couple days and being at the opener last week and having an almost 3 year old at home made it a logical one to skip.
