RevWarRifleman Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 I'm particularly with you on #3, Virgil. Run the hurry up from time to time. Especially get up to the line & snap the ball quickly after a big play. It catches their D off balance at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ga boy Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 We win if we play like we did in Heinz Field, but please no consecutive run plays in the red zone. Ugh!! Our linebackers will take care of the short stuff, but Brady may get a couple for 30 yards. Also, be sure to check the air in the ball. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevewin Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 Biggest thing is dont gift them a TD with special teams gaffe, and protect the ball in the second level. Be aware of guys comimg from behind, and dont needlessly fight for extra yards that arent there. Two arms on the ball and get down. They are going to be trying to strip the ball esp from Singletary. More than ever Cheaters need big game changing plays from ST and defense - dont give those to them 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

947 Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 Need to get hits on Brady. Even if we get a couple inevitable bogus RTP penalties early. Give him happy feet & let the secondary do the rest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ganesh Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 Involve Singletary in the game. Don't put the entire game on Josh Allen's shoulder. Involve Kroft. He is a huge target Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
row_33 Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 No boneheaded penalties or turnovers Bengals held with them for 29 minutes, then fumbled a punt return then INTs and a pick 6 early in the second half ball game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Estro Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 The key to winning vs the Pats boils down to 1 thing: Allen Can he find solutions to the 0 blitz? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAinLack. Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 Innovative offensive game plan, tough defense and limit our penalties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They feed of another teams mistake and use the momentum. Even in that Giants game early in the year. NE is an average talent team that plays smart football. NE can not line up and beat the top half of the teams in the league if those teams play smart. It’s been trending this way for the last few years. This year the Pats age and lack of depth is really showing. I hope our young much more talented roster comes out loose and ready, it shouldn’t really be a ball game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fixxxer Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 keep the score close don't shoot yourself in the foot don't panic the Patriots feast on teams that aren't patient keep pounding the ball at them, they run blitz a lot but they're not big up front, eventually you will break them if they use the standing up D against an empty backfield, tell Allen to run a quick QB sneak for easy yards scheme guys open in the passing game, moreso early in the game so that Allen can get in rhytm against this Patriots team, take the points whenever you can On D, be prepared to stop the run and trick plays. be sound on ST Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I swear Bojo has some of his worst games against the Pats. Its almost as if its on purpose. This year he has 5 punts 1 blocked net avg 26.7 yards. Last year he had 5 punts net avg 31.6. Both his worst two games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HamSandwhich Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 10 hours ago, CommonCents said: Edelman is hurt. Not Patriot kind of hurt but actually hurt. He couldn’t hurt Justin Rogers. I don’t know man, going from what they said was the best he felt in practice all year to all of a sudden hurt? Could they be trying to sandbag it? Try to get the Bills to game plan else where? Am I being too conspiracy theorist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBobby Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 Simple: 1. Don't let gore anywhere near the field to kill drives 2. Go back to playing fast paced and spread out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeastMaster Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 Allen will be key. He's gonna have to show up and make them respect his ability to beat them with his arm. I expect better from him and also believe he learned something from that first game. Go out and beat the pressure packages, Josh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go back to playing fast paced and spread out Agree with much of what's been said here, but definitely with your Point 1. I'm finished with Frank Gore. I know that causes great umbrage to the purists. But he's done, he's toast. The only time I want to see him out there is as a decoy, and then have him stay in to pick up the blitz, which he does really well. Stick to your strengths - keep Allen on his feet, Frank. And watch for heavy - almost EXTREME - efforts on the part of the Pats* to strip the ball from Singletary. Singletary has a fumble problem, the league is starting to understand it, and there's no other team that would focus on simply getting inside an opponent's head and giving him the mind f**k like the Pats*. Singletary HAS to hold on to the ball. I could see this one factor being the entire key to the game. Singletary succeeds? Bills walk off the field blowing kisses to the (remaining front-runner) fans and pointing at the scoreboard. Singletary starts fumbling and doubting himself? Long flight back to Buffalo.

davefan66 Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 (edited) Keys to the game - no boneheaded special teams penalties. Can’t keep starting 10 to 20 yards back from where punt return was. - Competent run game - mix in some no-huddle. Or the muddle-huddle. Don’t rush the play, just keep them from switching defenders. - no turnovers - beat Edelman into the ground early on. He’s hurt, keep him that way. Most important - knock Brady around. Keep him off his game. Edited December 21, 2019 by davefan66 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im attacked for saying it.... but the Pats for a few years now have played very conservative and don’t mind going 3 and out, then pounce on opponent boneheaded miscues like a hawk on an an inevitable squirrel they’ve even let possibly winnable games go and have taken a loss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a huge target This was my thought as well. A heavy dose of Singletary and short completions that chip away at them. Keep possession and move the sticks. The defense is going to do what it does.

I would disagree here...especially on defense, they are stacked...probably the best secondary in the league....Collins, Hightower and Van Noy for LBs.....can't think of a better trio in the NFL....
