Mc1320 Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 I think we need to win next week and give Fitz a shot at dropping a turd in the Patriots punch bowl. Even if the Patriots beat the Dolphins, we can damage their seeding and force them to play in the 1st round instead of getting a bye week. I doubt that offense can put together a run to beat playoff caliber offenses 4 games in a row to get win another Super Bowl. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheFunPolice Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Brady is already hurting as is Edelman Both are extremely banged up... Brady's elbow and Edelman shoulder and knee tendon Brady might not make it through the season if he has to go all 16 weeks Let's take advantage next week! If we beat them it means they probably lose a bye and need to also go 100% week 17 No rest and no time to heal... Google Edelman injury if you doubt me 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have no TEs Their whole team is special teams turnovers and defense If we take care of the ball and don't make the big mistakes we have an excellent shot Brady's elbow is about to blow like big Ben's Look at his stats today vs the 31 St ranked defense Edited December 16, 2019 by TheFunPolice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really hope that’s not what happens!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TigerJ Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Too much rest has sometimes proven to be a disadvantage. You can lose the rhythm that you have developed through the season. Keep your routine. Do what you've been doing all season to keep players healthy. Give veterans their rest days in practice like you have all year.

Don Dokken Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Fortunately the team will be ready. They know who’s on deck. Josh mentioned NE as the next opponent by name, and Tre talked about showing up on Saturday or Sunday, in their on field interview after the game. Seems like these guys usually pretend not to know who’s up next, under the guise of “one game at a time”. Not this week. I think these guys want this monkey off their back badly, even if they don’t get the division title this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ended up 14-2 (with one of the losses being in the snow week 17 in Orchard Park) and I believe one-and-done in the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utah John Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Although the Dolphins lost today, they're still playing hard, and they have a good defense. It is absolutely not impossible that Miami beats NE in week 17. The Bills have a slim but real chance to win the division. Plus, telling these guys to lose would probably get you beat up. They are close and tight and don't think anyone is really better than they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another possibility is beating the Pats to make them play wild card weekend and lose home field advantage. Go Bills! This x1000 Tenn or Pitt defense would rough them up. Tenn might have a good shot to beat them. Pitt QB would get exposed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Krentist Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 IF we beat the Pats, play the starters against the Jets. IF we lose to the Pats, I have no problem with sitting the starters against the Jets because we already have the 5 seed locked up. We all saw the scare with Tre. Would hate for that to happen in a meaningless game against the Jets if we lose to the Pats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Da webster guy Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 You're spot on. Play the Pats hard but the second you feel the game has been decided, understand that either way you have 15 days untill the NFL playoffs begin, and we need to be healthy and ready to go beat a good team on the road. Would be nice. I think we can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Brown Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 (edited) No. Knock them out of a 1st round bye at the least. Good luck to them winning at KC and then at BAL.
