thenorthremembers Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Its incredibly big. You can essentially close the lid on 20 years of dominance on Sunday. If the Bills get beat the Pats are still in the conversation and the entire season looks different. The Bills need to win this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BECAUSE BRADY IS GONE!! DUH!!!! It was a miserable day for me when he officially left the Pats. I sat back shaking my head watching other fans celebrate his departure. Celebrate? Celebrate what? I felt like a loser. I knew it was over. Our chances had dried up. We failed. We let Brady go almost two whole decades owning us. And even when he got into his 40's he still owned us. They swept us countless seasons with him at the helm. I remember thinking last preseason that he would regress a little and maybe we would FINALLY sweep them. Then later thinking how it still would suck because it took for Brady to be 42 for us to finally pull it off. Sweeping him that year wouldn't fix shish. Then the season plays out and what happens? With one last shot at preventing the long ash career sweep shutout, we allow Brady to land a final KO punch, and HE SWEEPS US!! What an ending. We failed guys. Let's face it, lick our wounds and reset. Oh, and don't try to make this about Belichick. Beating the Pats with Cam at QB is NOWHERE NEAR THE SAME THING AS BEATING THEM WITH BRADY. To me there's an exponential difference if its not The Pair. Many of you seem to be approaching this game with that exact same frame of mind as years past. That baffles me. That slay the dragon mentality, when in reality, there is no longer a dragon around to slay. Our chances to do that have come and gone. All that's left is a permanent stain on our record that will inevitably be mentioned time and time again in the future, because Brady, being the GOAT, will be talked about forever. His dominance on his division will be talked about forever. Not as much, BUT, his dominance against one team in particular will be talked about forever. WHY? Because he has the most wins of any QB against one team in NFL history. Just a random notch on Tom Brady's belt. It's universally agreed (which is not an easy feat in the sports world) that Tom is the best QB of all time, and Bill is the best head coach of all time. So our only consolation prize is that we can feel a little less bad about it all since it was the GOATs who handed us the most embarrassing 20 year record between division "rivals" in league history. They weren't some random HC-QB pair who shined for an era. NOPE! ALL TIME GOATS! Unfortunately they landed in the AFC East and we took the brunt of it. They would have done this same thing to some other team if they landed in a different division as a pair (we'd like to think anyway). It damn near makes me physically sick typing this post right now. I never expressed my feelings on this matter neither verbally nor through writing. The feeling is terrible but is mitigated by my belief in the not so distant future for this team. So like I said, let's reset and realize this is nothing more than a home division game that we should win. I think most the players know this and don't have that imaginary psychological hurdle to get over. And lastly, YES! When we win, it WILL feel better than beating the Jets or the Phins. Just seeing the final scoreboard with a larger number next to the Bills logo than what's next to the Pats logo, HELL YEAH! That's just a natural human reaction for people who spent the number of years we have dominated by one team. Wins against them will fill better than other division wins for years to come. Im sure some players will feel that way for at least the next few matches, as will some coaches. Especially McD, who has never beat either of the GOATs. But at the end of the day, when your over the top emotions wear off, just understand a win over the Pats Sunday means nothing more than keeping them in 3rd place and taking a step toward winning a tiebreaker if it comes to that. It wouldn't be some legendary victory or signature win like many are painting it to be. That era is over. BellyCheat and Krafty still there, but yeah I agree.

Gordio Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Sobering Statistics since 2001 Brady is second for QBS in wins at the Ralph/New Era Stadium, 2nd in td passes & 4th in starts. I am glad he is gone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Bills and Rams win would really put the Bills in the drivers seat for the division. Miami would drop to 3-4 and the Bills already beat them in Miami. NE would fall to 2-5 and the Jets who cares.

C.Biscuit97 Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 It’s not the same as facing the Brady Pats. It’s not. But it can help almost clinch a division title and much like Mike Myers, you need to make sure he is dead. If someone how the Pats win, they are 3-4 with 4 division games left. you don’t just assume mike Myers is dead, you chop off his head! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo needs to re-establish an ability to score like what happened in weeks 1-4. Because averaging 17 points for the last 3 games doesn't exactly promise good things to come. I'd like to see them ring up about 35 this week. You ever participate in a 2 way live-fire? Enough with the war analogies. No it's not. Guy's won more than 300 regular/playoff games, and been either a DC or HC during 8 SB wins. We definitely need to score against a good D. Maybe he thinks this is a baseball board. Wins Above Replacement It's like some people think we will beat him and he won't be a first ballet HOFer. "If it wasn't for that first game against the Bills without Brady he woulda got my vote". Who cares if he has more rings than anyone else in NFL history.(unless Brady can win 2 more for the tie or three for the win without Belichik winning another.)

BITE ME Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 It is monumental if it turns out the be the turning point in the AFC East. If this is the game that marks the changing of the guard from the Pats to the Bills, then it is monumental. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerome007 Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Now it's done, I simply focus on the Bills winning and making the Pats fans wallow in misery and eat some humble pies for decades. But I too was pissed when Brady left. The Bills never got payback, never got revenge. And even then it would have been crumbs of revenges compared to the dishes of hurt Brady delivered, but still better than nothing! Now what's done is done. I really want the Bills to wallop completely the Cheats this Sunday, but with them being so behind the Bills in the standings right now, it's not that critical. Only in the sense that you never let up as it can come back to bite you good later! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfan89 Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Forget that it's the Pats this game much like last week is an absolute must win. For one this would heavily bury the Pats in the standings and put the Bills at 4-0 in the division. The Bills also must win to fatten up to 6-2. After the Pats game the Bills play a tough Seahawks team and a tough toss up match up in the Cardinals. Ideally the Bills would split those games and at 6-2 a split would put the Bills at 7-3 going into a very winnable Chargers game. But if you are 6-2 and you lose both games you lick your wounds but you still sit at 6-4 going into a winnable game. But if you drop this Pats game and go to 5-3 then a split against AZ and SEA puts you at 6-4 and dropping both games puts you at 5-5. Got to beat up on bad opponents, that's what good teams do.
