Patriots are due for an embarrassing loss tomorrow….let’s go Falcons! Putting your hopes on the Falcons right now is a little dicey. They got absolutely creamed by Dallas last Sunday. So sad how that team has gone to hell since the Super collapse vs the Pats. BUT a Falcons victory would fit into the upset narrative of this season if the Falcons can defeat the Pats and all their bandwagon of hype.

If, as we hope, the Bills keep winning and the Pats follow suit, MNF has themselves a perfect December matchup. The atmosphere in the stadium for that MNF game is going to be insane. Similar to the MNF game against the Cowboys a few years back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gugny Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 Bills fans have been waiting decades for the Patriots to suck again. Many of us thought once Brady was done, so were the Patriots. That does not appear to be the case. They spent an ass ton of money and it looks like they may have "hit" on a QB. Way too early to know what Mac Jones is, but so far, he's proving that he's smart and makes good decisions. Whether people want to admit it or not, they still have the best head coach in the NFL and possibly the best coaching staff in the NFL. I think they are what their record says they are. It's a more impressive 6-4 than our 6-3 record. I think the Bills are a better team than the Patriots, but it's not by a lot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mykidsdad Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 I feel like the script has so flipped. For 20 years we would be the PATs in this scenario, like feeling like this is our chance, and then reality hit. Pats had the better QB. We lose. That is NO longer the case. We not only have the best QB in division, we may have the best in conference. This will be a very fun 20 year stretch! Go Bills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The list if for the lead stories and amount of coverage in national media. They want ratings and clicks, Bills aren’t that team to drive either. I’m ok with it to be honest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rigotz Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 Is this really a surprise? They were the best team in the league for 20 years, which means they have a ton of (bandwagon) fans all over the country. Of course they're going to get a ton of press if they're even semi-relevant. Patriots stories sell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt_In_NH Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 Its not uncommon for a 6-4 team who won 4 straight by good margins gets attention. They have earned it. Dont like it is fine, I dont either 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not going to happen against Atlanta. Its a long NFL season. Not much to really talk about mid season. I think all the penalties from supposed violent hits has really dumbed down the excitement of the game in general. The Patriots will be a formidable opponent for anyone this season. Not unbeatable. Just formidable. The Colts will be this week for us as well. But that's the way it should be. To be a good team, you have to beat the good teams. Its that simple. If our O line can hold up and play reasonable well. (not lights out, because that is not going to happen with this group) we will be in strong contention for the Super Bowl. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ngbills Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 They deserve the attention. They are 6-4 while many on this board would have pegged that at 2-8. We are likely facing off with them in a few weeks. Hopefully it is a 8-3 Bills vs 7-5 Pats. But who knows how the next couple weeks go. We have a couple tough matchups so would not be shocking to see 7-4 or even 6-5 Bills in a near must win versus Pats at 8-4 or 7-5. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo Junction Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 4 hours ago, Gugny said: Patriots have three wins against opponents who are .500 or better. Bills have one. IDK. Browns are a losing team without Chubb and Belichick owns Sam Darnolds soul. That said, the Patriots are a dangerous well coached team that’s strong in the trenches. We’ll see how it plays out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Browns and Panthers really aren't all that great. They also played against Darnold. You're giving them way too much credit. Half their wins are against the Jets twice and the Texans who they almost and should have lost to Edited November 17, 2021 by Buffalo03 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alphadawg7 Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 Are they over hyped: Yes. Should they be overlooked: No The 3 best teams they faced they lost to. During their 4 game win streak they beat a mediocre Eagles team, and decimated Browns team missing its best offensive players the offense is built around, the lowly Jets, and a reeling Panthers team with lousy Darnold. 4 game win streak is a 4 game win streak still. But the quality of opponent during the week they played them was pretty bad. When facing a quality team at full strength, they lost every game. So yes, over hyped. But they are definitely someone to still take serious. Their schedule, outside the 2 Bills games, is pretty squishy rest of the year too, so they have a legitimate shot at making a push for the playoffs. I can’t see Atlanta beating them Thursday. Bills are going to need to avoid any more Jaguars like hiccups and definitely going to be sure to win at the very least one of the head to head games to insure we win the division. Personally, I think we will win both Pats games and win the division handedly. But that is no longer the slam dunk it was thought to be when the season began. We handle our business though, we will win the division with a multiple game lead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_In_NH Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 If the Bills were to lose Sunday they will be...............6-4. And they are more hyped than the other team being talked about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belichick coached teams just get better as the season goes on, in general. A buddy in the Boston area is annoyed that so many are talking Super Bowl already. They are a formidable opponent, but that is annoying arrogance, and I’m tired of the media adoration. This is not the post-Brady tire fire we had hoped for. Belichick will be 70 next season, so it can’t last forever. As long as we’re talking over-hyped, at least the Cowboys are good this year, because the media never stops talking about them regardless of what kind of team they are fielding. THAT is annoying! .
