Week 16 Bills @ Patriots* PreGame Thread MNF


Chandler#81

Recommended Posts

Bills must curb stomp the Pats tonight.  This is not just a game.  Teams that are getting ready for a deep playoff run, curb stomp the teams they should beat.  As Nate Burleson just said, this is about "energy and momentum."  Pedal to the medal.

Like the Chiefs yesterday vs Atlanta at home ? Every week is different.

I'll settle for a W and expecting a very tough game.

Some of these teams with bad records playing spoiler like the Jets still want to prove to the world that they can play.

 

Its their Superbowl...

Good content. I like Billy Bellicheat better as an analyst, and when he is halfway honest as one.

New England is still a division rival, and more importantly, they still have the greatest coach of all time.

 

I feel like it's conventional wisdom now that it won't be close tonight - I definitely hope that's true, but I'm ready for anything.  This could be a kitchen sink game for BB - he surely doesn't want to get swept, and will likely pull out all of the stops.

 

He's been able to contain Allen so far in their match-ups.  That was also true of Peyton Manning and a lot of good & great QB's over the years - but eventually, the great ones like Manning figured him out.  I'm hoping Allen has that kind of moment tonight.

Very tough to beat Belichick twice in the same season

The way the NFL is now, anything is possible. It seems like every week a team who blew someone out the week before gets beaten or taken the distance by a team who has been playing like crap for most of the year.

 

The Bills have actually been one of the most consistent of all the playoff teams this season so I hope they make easy work of NE and move on to Miami.

Hope the Pats don't try cheap shotting any of our players. Not that they'd ever do anything like that...

I too am concerned about Pats* cheap shots.  Why would they suddenly be classy?

 

I think a Sunday at 1pm game would make everyone on the Bills more vulnerable to cheap shots.

 

Primetime as the only game in town not so much....if they want to cheapshot the whole world is going to see it.

 

I think they play hard but clean as they still want to win for pride.

Humble-smumble.  Curb stomp them.  CURB-STOMP them into next year's draft.  The Bills are the far superior team.  Don't your dear play down to the competition.  They are bad.  Historically bad for this century.  They have a RB playing QB.  Their QB has 5 TD passes, 5!!!!!  They have a WR3 playing WR1.  They don't have a TE1.  Their starting CB1 is now out for the season.  Must I go on.  CURB STOMP them.  They have 20 names on the injury report.  Do to the Patriots what the Ravens did yesterday to the NYG.  The Number 2 seed is out there.  Go get it.  🙂

Exactly.  Just Win, Baby.  No "style" points and teams get in trouble when they seek or expect them.

 

exactly put.....even winning ugly is fine. But I must say - watching the KC-ATL game yesterday (...and recent games), they seem to be playing down to the level of their competition - but turning it on when they need to. Just my opinion FWIW.

The Steelers did that for a few weeks and all it got them was a 3 game losing streak ;) 

 

Lets hope that happens to KC

Big Ben got so entrenched in the short yardage game he had forgotten what really makes him so good IMO. Poor pass protection hasn't helped.

 

Like Allen ,  medium to long range is Big Bens forte...

Yup! Time to earn the chance at an extra home playoff game, fellas.

 

Who could imagined at the start of this season, with that schedule, we would be talking about the potential of two home playoff games and no fans? Umglaublich.

Any word on John Brown yet?

Just now, Chandler#81 said:

It begs the question, have the Jets decided they’re keeping Darnold?

 

They would be dumb to give up on him since they aren't getting TL now. Trade down for more picks and hope you get some good ones. Then again I'm all for the Bills doing the same. Trade out of #32 for more 2's and 3's.

Maybe we should cancel it? Seems everyone is scared to play a game and scared of every team making the playoffs 

I hear ya, bro.

 

it’s one thing to prefer a certain matchup, but to intentionally lose to avoid teams, it’s kind of crazy!

 

Now that the team is playoff caliber, it’s time for us fans to mentally become playoff caliber as well. 🤣

I believe many on this board and the national media predicted between 7-9 and 9-7.  With a couple 10-6 in there.  Myself included.


And many predicted those records with Allen being the key "If".  If Allen jumped from last year, 10-6 was possible.  If he stayed the same, 8-8 or 9-7 most likely.

 

But with the possibility of 13-3 as a record against the toughest schedule in the NFL is down right amazing.


So happy, lets keep it going!!!

There is a developing narrative out there that QB nurturing over nature is needed.  Even Patty sat for some time before being given the reins.   I think teams are looking at the Bills and the Josh Allen clay-molding  process and taking notice.   Trading that high draft pick for some stock talent would likely be more important than trying to hit another QB homerun.  Build around the QB.  That number one pick could be worth a bucket load of middling picks.

I said 11-5 and now I want to take it back ;) 

 

I was on the high end and never dreamt that 13-3 was a real possibility let alone 14-2 minus the Hail Murray .

It’s crazy, bro! I expected us to be good but not this good.

 

ESPECIALLY with the schedule we’ve had, I think that’s what most impressive. This is not a bloated record. It’s a well earned record.

Yep, I remember thinking in the preseason that if we got to 10-6 it would be an improvement over last year‘s 10-6 because of our tougher schedule.

 

My how times of changed!
