When did you get here, last week? Try again Thrifty. Please go ahead and screen cap whatever you like Mr. Message Board Policeman. Btw, he’s not outside the forums.

Whatever ninja of the mall, so he's on the forums, and you are choosing to roast his Twitter accounts.  Wow, that's incredibly awesome trolling bait and honestly never really head of you but, know the analytical tactics, and usually it's worse to have others troll someone that has either blocked you or instead just ignores you so that someone else does the heavy lifting.  So, in essence grow up and or watch the old series get a life.

This week’s Monday Night Football contest should be a good one.

The Buffalo Bills are set to take on the New England Patriots in a pivotal AFC East Division matchup. Buffalo and New England will be playing with first place in the division on the line.

Heading into the Monday night matchup, Bills quarterback Josh Allen revealed his team’s one main priority against Bill Belichick and Co.

The Bills need to win the turnover battle.

“…Really our main emphasis is just the turnover differential, battle with these guys,” Allen reportedly said in an interview with Steve Young, which will air in full Monday on ESPN, per NESN. “Throughout the league, statistics show you win the turnover battle, you have a higher percentage of winning that game. So, we’ve been sloppy on our end the last few weeks so we’re looking to tighten that up. We’re excited to get out there and play.”

Winning the turnover battle is always important, but it’s especially important against a Belichick-coached team.

Kickoff between New England and Buffalo is scheduled for 8:15 p.m. E.T.

The game will air on ESPN.

FilthyBeast is the absolute worst of TBD and I’m betting he’s just as bad on Twitter. Spend your time defending someone worthy of defending.

I agree with Brown...But I don’t see Groot as being so physical...but maybe he just needs more seasoning...👍

Expand  

I think he's plenty physical. He's surprised me with how well he's holding up in run defense when his draft profile basically read as "raw pass rusher."

 

It will be exciting to see him take the next step towards becoming a full time starter.

 

Epenesa and Oliver too. Very physical guys. But they do need more heft on the line, imo.

50 mph winds are a bit extreme. We will be limited to short - intermediate passing

I just checked the hourly. As of now the rain is supposed to be gone by 7 and about 25 mph winds. That’s doable. I think both the WFT and Texans games were 20-25 mph and he was lights out

Still significant wind gusts throughout the game

Shouldn't be too bad.

Wind Shmind.

 

Allen has YEARS of experience at this point throwing against the wind, with the wind, with swirling winds & gusts.  Mac Jones has played no pro games in these kinds of conditions, and played his college ball in the warm & sunny SEC.

 

That, to me, balances out ANY advantage that NE might have w/ their running game - which is overstated anyway.

 

Stack the line on D, protect the ball on O.  Win game.

If those gusts are as predicted, this game will be comical. I have seen some games like this— teams complete like 2-3 passes in a half, kickers missing FG’s by like 30 yards, punts going backwards, no one can shotgun snap. 
 

am just hoping the “gusts” are minimal, and the wind can stay below 20.

I don’t get the fear about their rushing.  We rush at 118.3 and the Pats at 115.3.

 

I hope the players aren’t as emasculated as the fans.

It’s absolute torture waiting for Monday at 830 to come… My anxiety level is at an all time high for this game… Anyone else in the same boat lol???

I’ll start by saying I think, with Star and Edmunds back, we can handle their run game. But I’ll finish with saying that all the hype around this pats team is based on the last 6 weeks. And if you look at that stretch their average heads north of 140 a game. So that’s kinda pushing the narrative.

My wife just called me out for being a miserable butthole all weekend because of the game on Monday night. She wasn’t wrong. All I could do was apologize.

According to the hourly forecast is doesn’t appear will have to deal with any rain or snow just windy and cold… I’ll take Allen slinging it in the wind over Jones any day….

This probably could have been posted in the game week thread.

You are really good are starting really pointless threads.

I'm sorry to upset you.  The winds at game time will be 40+ mph and I think even Josh can handle that.

Expand  

You aren’t upsetting me. There is a game week thread so people don’t need to start a new thread with every thought about the game. But you do you. 

[BigDingus]

Ouch...

 

I don't think I was expecting some crazy revelation from this post, but I definitely had higher hopes for SOMETHING new worth being optimistic about  

 

Edit: This comment was in response to the thread titled something like "Why I believe the Bills will win Monday" before it was merged lol
