Success Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 It is weird - this kind of weather DOES favor the Pats, at least on paper, for the 1st time in 2 decades. They are much more of a running team this year - and we're not good against the run. Hopefully the forecast changes a bit as the week goes on. This game is an important one for my overall mental health and well being. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCofNC Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Hopefully, McClappy sees the weather report ahead of time and decides to have the D schemes for it. Stack the box, have a Spy on Cam (let Edmunds do it, at least he’ll know his assignment), and no friggin zone D to let them throw the easy short throws they want in that weather. More likely we see a soft cover 2 with the corners giving a 10 yard cushion to guys who wouldn’t make most team’s practice squad, leave the middle of the field wide open for Edelman, Cam runs for 120+ and 3 scores. Meanwhile, Daboll will outsmart Bellicheck by going deep on 79% of the passes in the first half, getting JA to a 30% completion percentage with 8 3 and outs, the first touch for a running back will come on a JA fumble recovery. And after the blow out, the headlines are “The Pats are back!” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H2o Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 2 hours ago, dneveu said: Cam seems to still have some arm strength, but he's actually struggled more throwing short. When he has to take something off he's just scattershot - and they have like no deep threats. I expect them to just hammer the run game a lot in this one. Yeah, idk about that. He had a WR running wide open down the left sideline on Sunday for what would have been a sure TD, looked like he threw it as hard as he could, and came up about 3 yards short. Even the commentator mentioned it after the play, how it was only a 45 yard pass and Cam didn't seem like he could get it out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cam's arm looks dang near shot out there. We should load the box against the run and see if Cam can beat us throwing the football. Allen can throw those underneath and intermediate routes all day long. This is a different team we are facing than pervious year. I'm not going to go out and bet $15,000 on the game like StHustle or anything like that, but I like our chances . Hey screw you pal! 😂 And I'm almost back to even after hitting on 3 three team parlays last weekend! I'm done betting on the Bills this season. I went years without doing it. Best to keep emotion away from gambling decisions. I do very well overall and almost 100% on bets when I'm as confident as I was with that 15k bet. How humbling an experience that was.

Crap weather for this game favors New England. I feel like bad weather works in the Bills favor. They can load up against the run a la Titans and dare Cam to beat them in the air. Bad weather works in our favor in this regard. I also think the bad weather balances out our offense and makes it less effective for Belichick to take away our best weapon. Wishful thinking perhaps.
