uticaclub Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 1 minute ago, Greg S said: Or the Bills come out and take it to them and win the game. Josh Allen continues to show that he is one of the best QB's in the game. The Pats are good but their 6 game winning streak came mostly against teams who suck or good teams that were missing many good players like the Browns and Titans. Give the Pats credit they have played well but they are not the unbeatable force the media is making them out to be. Who have our wins come against? We lost to Jacksonville and got boat raced against a mediocre Colts team the last time they were home. If you send the house and cover escape routes, you beat Josh, Jax had nothing to lose and showed the blueprint, as good as McDermott has been no one will say he's a better game manager or overall coach than Belichick. Hopefully, we’ve had adjustments and Josh can get rid of the ball quickly to beat the blitz. This is one of the biggest games in Bills history, I'm 36, we lose and playoffs are far from a sure thing and there will be serious questions to what we are building. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beat KC at Arrowhead which is one of the toughest places to play. Upset happen all the time. Pats lost to the Dolphins, Bengals and Titans lost to the Jets, Titans lost to the Texans. Bills have their issues but overall they are a good team. I expect a hard fought game on Monday that won't be decided until late in the game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maynard Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 I get the frustration over this. However, it’s not really surprising. Mac Jones, maybe unrightfully so, is the media darling right now. Seems every sports show/website are all over his jock. I honestly think NE is the better team right now as well. Their defense is playing at an extremely high level and the offense is methodical. That also comes into play. The only way we stop this media stupidity is by jamming it down their throats on Monday night! It truly is that time to put up or shut up. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prove me wrong though Bills, please! Well I imagine Josh will have to take the short passes whether he likes it or not. But if it is that windy it will come down to which team wins in trenches because it should be a game that large majority of plays will be running the ball. Although we know Daboll can be stubborn, in that scenario with weather that bad I would think he wouldn't have much choice but to run the ball more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blainorama5 Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 Look, the NFL has had a chubby for the Patriots for the longest time. Now that they see them possibly resurging with a new QB, they've refilled their order of Patriots Viagra and are popping those pills like candy. Not terribly surprising.

Jacksonville did not "send the house". That's not how they beat us. Allen killed teams who "sent the house" last season. He's been blitzed far more selectively this season, for that reason. Urban Meyer sketched out on a cocktail napkin (as someone here said) before the game how to beat us and that's what they did. The Colts aren't allowing that they're "mediocre". They've won 6 of their last 9 games, two losses came in OT and the third was to the Bucs, by 1 score. They have a good coach who had a chip on his shoulder about being beat in the playoffs last season, and who has his team fired up for a push. They have the top rushing attack in the league in y/a (3 or 4 in yards). They're 4rd overall on PPG. They are "in the hunt" with the same number of wins and one less loss as the last WC team, and it's not out of the question they could take the division with Henry out. This is far from one of the biggest games in Bills history, although it is a critical game for this season.

If Josh is truly becoming an elite QB, we win this game. I think this game is much bigger than just the season. We have a coach and QB both signed long-term on a team that is suppose to compete for the super bowl. If we lose to the patriots at home and miss the playoffs, there should be major questions moving forward. Also, Indy lost to TN twice, division is going to be a stretch for them to win the South. Whatever cliches you find appropriate, if you send pressure and cut off escape routes, Josh still struggles with quick decisions 7 minutes ago, YoloinOhio said: Maybe it was one of those “one of these things are not like the other” games for little kids Who is the QB with the better record in the other 3 games? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FLFan Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 Bills fans just need to get used to and deal with the fact that we are not and never have been media darlings. We had a brief respite last year and the beginning of this year, but frankly most of the praise, like most of the criticism now, was shallow and misguided. Now that there have been a couple of bumps in the road, the media have dived off the bandwagon and moved on to more compelling story lines (ie appeal to more people). It was this way in the 90s as well. Just like the the bandwagon fans who have leaped off in mass, they will be back when results force them to be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CincyBillsFan Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 The NFL media desperately wants NE to be relevant again. It's what they've gotten used to over the last 20 years. The Pats are hot and their rookie QB is exceeding expectations. Just listen to a random 30 minutes on Sirius NFL channel to hear the Patriot love. Only the Cowboys match it. And lets face it there is a growing belief that the greatest sports ***** of all time is now within reach: A Tom Brady led Tampa Bay taking on Bill Belchick and the NE Patriots. These people would sell their first born to see that happen. So it's on the Bills to derail the hype train. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can’t run the ball, we’re too one dimensional on Offense. We get all worried when we have to stop the run and then we can’t stop the pass and Mac Jones is going to carve us up. Guess that’s the ballgame then. But Simms - we’re watching you - you don’t get to come back and be all over Josh after we win. Breathe, Virgil. It’ll be OK.

msw2112 Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 (edited) Like another poster said, I saw that graphic last night and didn't think twice about it. I didn't give it more thought until I saw it mentioned in this thread today. As a fan, it doesn't bother me at all. Whether FOX loves the Pats, hates the Bills, put up only QBs of 1st place teams, etc., I don't really care. If this provides motivation for the Bills and they play with more intensity because of it, then I think it's a good thing. I despise the Patriots and don't care for Mac Jones, but I can't deny that they are playing well now and have worked themselves into first place in the division. It's up to the Bills to step up and take care of business on Monday night. They have the talent, the home crowd, the return of a number of key players, and they know the importance of the game. They also, in the McD-Allen era, have tended to play very well in nationally televised games, including one just last week in New Orleans. So I expect the Bills to get it done.

They see "Patriots***" and automatically assume that's the team that will win. They would have put Newton up in that graphic last year. It's funny, but in the old SB days with Kelly, Thomas, and Bruce, etc., Bills games were on NBC. NFC games were on CBS. And then you had MNF on ABC. That's all there was. The big CBS crew was Pat Summerall and John Madden. They were regarded as the best, No. 1 crew in the business at that time. They would almost NEVER give any sort of credit to the Bills or the AFC at large; they televised NFC games and their world view was limited to NFC teams and players. It used to drive me (and my late father) nuts. There truly was a real bias there; and I know what you mean about FOX now; same thing.
