Billsatlastin2018 Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 6 hours ago, The Frankish Reich said: Yes. If this one gets away the whole "can't seem to beat the Pats" takes on a new life. They are ripe for the picking, and beating them this weekend puts us in the driver's seat for our first division title in a quarter century. Exactly, correct! And the Patriots have the easier remaining sked, so be better be up 3 games, after this week. 1 hour ago, Gen2 said: I think this is a much bigger game for the Pats, if they lose to the Bills their hopes to win the division gets pretty dim, if the Bills lose they are still a game ahead of the Pats and in control of their own destiny. Untrue. Bills have a much more difficult sked than the Cheatriots. It’s essential that they win! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathersnowman Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 based on the first 4 games form a loss would not be acceptable. due to our recent injuries and poor form with our defence yes concerned. but if the offence clicks we should win by 10 points and Mcdermott knows this....defence shows up stop there run and confidence grows.

Had they lost to the Jets, that would have been the "leader". Patriots are reeling, we have a lead on them, now is OUR time to take control. Yes, have to go for the throat and kick’em while they’re down. I’d even be throwing deep with a 4 TD lead. Make a very bold statement! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enough is enough. Tell your players if they care about the fans of Buffalo and have any pride in their own game, this is the circled game of the year. The changing of the guard. 100% where I'm at as well. This isn't a must win game but I definitely feel like it is based off our schedule and trying to secure the Division. If the Bills do lose this week I have no idea the outcome the rest of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xwnyer Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 I will be disgusted if we lose this week but unless we can keep them in check on defense I am not convinced that The cheaters D tactics won’t have Josh confused enough . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forget the blowouts & playoff losses, the Bills can not afford to lose to the Patriots this week. I can't think of a game that will bother me more then if they get beaten by Belichek again. you're right, but the titans two weeks ago really put everyone back on their heels. what about the 2017 loss to the Jets in Primetime?

GunnerBill Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 It would be up there. I really don't expect the Pats to have armory to beat us. If we lose this game it will be turnovers and special teams mistakes IMO. It would be extremely disappointing to me. 2 minutes ago, Chemical said: you're right, but the titans two weeks ago really put everyone back on their heels. what about the 2017 loss to the Jets in Primetime? That 2017 Jets loss is the other one up there for me. They absolutely demolished us in the trenches on both sides of the ball. The Titans loss two weeks ago I am sorry to say I expected. Not as big as it was but I think a lot of Bills fans have been guilty for a couple of years now of underrating the Titans. We had beaten them in the last 3 meetings in very tight games where the bounce of the ball went our way in critical moments. They were due some bounces like the one they got off Roberts's drop right into the DBs hands early on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gugny Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Losing against the Pats* would be a tough pill to swallow and definitely up there with "most disappointing," during McDermott's tenure. Looking at the bigger picture - getting manhandled in back-to-back weeks vs., TEN and KC, followed by a game in which the offense failed to score one TD against the worst team in the NFL .... if that's followed by a loss to a depleted NE team, I'm letting serious doubt creep in about McDermott's ability to take this team to the next level.

Buddo Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 It wouldn't be the worst loss but it might be a significant one. I saw a fair bit of the 49ers game, and the Cheaters were not very good, at all. We should be expecting to beat them. If we don't, tbh, it will be embarassing, at least.

Find me a worse loss vs. a team the Bills absolutely must beat. Not just that it is the Pats, but that is followed by two much better teams.

PrimeTime101 Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 we beat the jets twice and miami once.Us beating NE, no matter how we do it will deflate them for the rest of the season. this will show we can got 6-0 in the division and with 2 other wins it would show we are on track with 8 wins. That means this game tells us we need 2 more wins on top of AFCE sweep. the Chargers and Broncos seem to be the obvious wins putting us at 10. if we split with NE or Miami or both it would mean we have to steal 1-2 wins from seahawks, cardinals, 49'ers or stealers to get us to 10 wins. We may be able to do it with 9 wins the way this division looks but 10 looks better on paper. Knowing all this info.. would this be a devastating loss to NE? yes.. Worst loss in Coach McD history with buffalo? maybe.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrDawkinstein Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 It would be a tough loss, but I had us splitting with the Pats this year. So I'd wait to see how the 2nd game goes before grabbing the pitchforks, renting a billboard, and posting an "open letter" on the main page. If we lose both, it would be a HUGE let down. 1-1, I'd be a bit disappointed, but still understanding at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nihilarian Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 For McD to ever have any relevance in this division he must beat Belicheat and a sweep would be even better. And if there were ever a time to beat the Patriots, it would be now. My take is... I think it can happen because it looks like ole Bill wants in on the Trevor Lawrence sweepstakes. I think he realizes he needs a top QB like he got so lucky with in Tom Brady. So, a top ten pick is in order. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't mean he is working on a long term replacement strategy for Brady. I'm sure he already developed whatever that strategy is a while ago. Newton was never going to be more than a temporary stop-gap measure. 1 hour ago, BillsFan130 said: Ya I’m not saying the bills are going to lose.
