😂😂😂 You and I live very different lives.

I was born and raised in Rochester, and yeah, my life sure is different living here. In all honesty, I would love to move back, and I'm trying to plan it. Tough with my career, though.

Charles Jones 3.5 days on the Practice Squad?  Wonder what happened there?

 

If I'm correct, we cannot return Jackson to the practice squad without him passing through waivers - so do we keep him on the active roster now?

 

Interesting choice on elevating Brandin Bryant.  How many DLmen does that give us on the roster now?

I don’t see BB being able to scheme a running game without a TE and WR threat.   The reason the Bills struggled in the past was because of Brady, Gronkowski and Edelman.  All are gone.  You had to respect their passing game which softened up the LBs.

cant you just hear the announcers now: “against all odds, down 5 starters, coming off a brutal loss, and in 40 MPH winds, the pats pull off a huge win. What a testament to the genius of Bill bellichick.”

 

And that, my good man, is why I watch the games on mute.

Weather is getting way over played for tomorrow, at 1 they are say 16mph gusting to 22, that‘s A far cry from 50. some rain at kick off and around 3. Allen’s  got plenty of arm from these conditions. Protect the ball and stop run,  it’s a blow out.

so who exactly are the Pats starting at OL and RB and where did they start the season on the depth chart?

 

I’m pretty sure Thuney, Andrews and Mason will all be active. 
 

White, Harris, and Burkhead. Also, JJ Taylor. My buddy played at U of A, raves about Taylor. Says he’s someone who can get hot and takeover a game. Gives me Jonas Gray vibes where he may just randomly run for 200 yards and 4 TDs and then never does anything again. 
 

There’s a real chance we will have our hands full against the run game.

The Patriots defense's biggest weakness is their lack of speed and they've tried to use their talented and deep secondary to counter that, often playing with 5 or 6 DBs on the field if you include Adrian Phillips who plays a kind of rover position for them now. With Gilmore and Dugger out and JC Jackson listed as Questionable, I wonder if they can continue to play that way effectively. Jonathan Jones has looked very beatable this year as well.

Just wondering what kind of defense scheme Bill going to throw at the Bill's . Maybe try deep safety or cover 2. But something tells me going to show the Bills some different looks.

Don't think NE has enough horses to stop Buffalo's offense. Brown and Feliciano coming back are huge.

Thuney and Mason are on the injury report as "questionable" and were limited all week in practice. 

 

Not questioning that we'll likely have our hands full but they may be hampered.

They have thuney, Andrews and Shaq Mason inside which is a very solid trio. All starters. RB will be Damien Harris Rex burkhead and James White. All  can catch the ball out of the backfield. Could definitely see them line up white at WR too since they are so banged up there. I think the only RB out is Sony Michel.

Yes, all elevated PS players have to go thru waivers.

The thing is it's Jackson's 2nd time elevated so he can't be elevated again.

 

Next call up is for a minimum of 3 games so I would believe that if a team was interested in him the Bills would have the option (I believe)

to just sign him "active".  I know teams have that option when a team wants to sign a player directly of the PS.

 

Then again like you pointed out he may be staying full time which is what I'm betting will happen because of Cam Lewis to IR.

Honestly if we cant beat this Pats team in the shape they are in then were simply not going to get over the hump under McDermott.  Its a bad struggling team with no wrs and a qb who is playing terrible.  Defense should be able to hold a one dimensional team out of the end zone period

Exactly why questions about McDermott need to be asked if we lose this game.

We do have the strongest-armed QB in the NFL, so it seems like if any team should be able to deal with wind, it's us.
