In addition, they have their Covid issues AND no longer have Brady. This year for them is different, hands down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Turk Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 (edited) This is the first time the Patriots have had a losing record past October 11th since 2002. 225 consecutive games above .500 after October 11th.

TFBillsfan Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 How great would it be for the Bills to go 3-0 in their next 3 games against KC, Jets and Pats! They would have the tie breaking if it came into play against KC and three games up on NE at the halfway mark! Gotta bring it tomorrow night.

Also, it does put things in perspective. The Titans might be more of a legit team than I gave them credit for. I also still view last week as a game where we just didn't have it. It's been so many years of us not paying attention to winning the division, that I pay too much attention to overall W-L and what the rest of the league is doing. We have to be better than the Pats and we are 2.5 games up on them 5 weeks into the season. Feels good. You don't get to the AFC championship game without being "legit." The Titans are better than last year and will be a formidable team in the playoffs. Throw in Pittsburgh with Rothlisberger back, KC, Baltimore, the AFC has some tough teams. Notice I didn't include that Patsies....😆 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HappyDays Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Against common opponents we are both 2-0. It's still going to come down to us beating them in two weeks. I believe we are in the best position to beat them in a very long time but we still have to do it. As long as Allen doesn't let Belichick confuse him we should win. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the same meal. Yeah. Lock threw 2 really stupid INTs in the 4th quarter and still the Broncs held on. And that came after the Broncos had failed to score a TD and had to settle for 5 FGs. I know we said this a few years ago only to have Belichick somehow fix it, but ... the Pats' O line is horrid. Just really, really Bills 2018 style bad. The only offensive spark they showed today: a Cam scramble + 2 trick plays with Edelman throwing the ball. Just a pathetic offensive performance. I know better than to count out a Belichick team, and they were disrupted by the COVID thing, but this is the worst a Pats team has looked in 20 years. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penfield45 Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 won't mind a loss tomorrow if we win the next 2 (jets,Pats) McD has to figure out a way to beat the Patriots this season. A season sweep should be the main priority. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southern Bills Fan Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 All I kept hearing before the season from all the “experts” on tv was that the Pats still had the best QB in the division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talley56 Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 It was interesting, because, the way the NE/KC game went, I was worried. Even though NE lost I kept thinking that if they had Cam in that game there's a good chance they would have won. Perhaps that's not the case. Either way, even with the loss to Ten last week, Buffalo looks like the clear-cut best team in that division. Heck, even though NE beat Miami in week 1, Miami may be 2nd best.

TheCockSportif Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Obviously, with hindsight as my guide here, I used to withhold judgment on a Pats' squad who was 2-3 when Brady was the QB. However, this 2-3 feels different, and I hope that it continues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But at the same time their wins other than their blow out victory against us were by: 1 point 2 points 3 points and 6 points in Over Time. They could be 1-4. Or anything in between. But obviously they are legit as they've just been winning since Tannehill became the starter last season. But they are beatable just looking at how close their other games have been.

Ethan in Cleveland Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Its not Cam its there o-line. Pats nearly beat KC and Seattle. Bills best path to the playoffs is to win the division. Bills need at least a split with New England and maybe need to sweep the division to win it if Miami gets hot down the stretch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
