December 6, 2021 Gameday Bills vs. Patriots* Pregame Thread

We will have our strongest possible offensive line combination out there. Have had 11 days to prepare. Have seen the Pats ascend to the #1 seed. No excuses. Just find a way to win. 

 

The Pats are a quality opponent this season, like it or not. Jones isn't spectacular...but he doesn't need to be. Their RBs are good. Time for the Bills to hunt.

 

I don't see us losing this game.

I want to throw up.

 

I have a whole day of work, a fairly intense day, to be followed by 3 plus hours waiting for the most important game of the season against the most difficult opponent facing our most hated rival and on the league’s biggest stage.

 

Please, someone come to my house and knock me out.

 

Go Bills.

Question if the Bills win tonight. Right now NE is the #1 seed. If Buffalo wins tonight does that make them the #2 or #3 seed? The Titans would be ahead of the Bills obviously but are the Bills in front of the Ravens? I know they would be in front of the Chiefs.

There would be four Division leaders with 8-4 records.  Check the multi-team tiebreakers.  Loss to Titans and win over Chiefs will only factor in once two other teams have been seeded one and two.

If the Bills win tonight we will sit at Two seed. Titans will be 1. A loss and we stay at Seven seed.

They would be ahead of the Ravens with a win tonight? I thought Baltimore had a better conference record.

Make no mistake about it the Pats are a run first team. If the Bills can't stop their run game they won't win. "Noodle arm" Jones has looked pretty good. He bares some credit for their 6 game winning streak. They don't ask him to anything he's not capable of doing. He's been nothing short of great dinking and dunking the ball. His offensive jas been good. 

 

The great Josh Allen's has been limited in his greatness due to the poor offensive line performance and lack of run threat.  The Pats defense is number one in the league. Their pass rush is fantastic.

 

 

Yea he deserves a Ryan Fitzpatrick type of credit.

As usual, so unnecessary..🤦‍♂️

Really why? It's clear you don't like and agree with my input. That is your right and I have no issues with that. However, your response here is pretty disturbing.

This is where we have to show up, not get beaten, blown out, and or completely manhandled.  If that happens it'll be a game of did McDermott get handed the yearly idiot ball award.  

Thinking the great Josh Allen has been limited by several factors and that even with a depleted offensive line there's just a lot of question marks in Buffalo.

Agree but your post here won't be welcomed by most here.

a close game is of course possible, but my gut tells us we will know in the first quarter which way this will end up.  i expect the winner to kind of dominate the loser.  i have it 40% the pats just truck us and we get pushed around, 35% we show improve, body them up, and allen just makes super man plays to dominate the pats.  of the 25% in the middle, i see us grinding out a win at 20%, and the pats sneaking one at 5%.  so, i have us winning 55% of the time, but getting dominated 40% of the time.  this will be the biggest statement game of the season.

I know it will be discussed ad nauseum either way but I don’t really care what seed the Bills are in after tonight. These teams play again this month. There are 5 games to go. A lot more dominos to fall. If this was the last week of the season and it determined the division or determined playoff seeding, it would be as meaningful as everyone is saying. But it isn’t. The narrative that the bills would be “out of the playoffs” if they lose this game is false and that’s even without the raiders loss yesterday. There are a lot of afc “contenders” who still play each other and the playoff picture will look different week to week. I get that this game is more about the division, but the reality is that if the Bills lose tonight and win in foxboro, if both teams win out the bills win the division by tiebreaker. So I get the hype, but putting this game as the “season definer” just  isn’t accurate.

What scientific method do you use to come up with these percentages?   lol

 

So first the Patriots have a 40% chance of winning and the Bills win the other 35% - in that scenario the middle wins 25% of the time?

 

No wait....then you say....

 

20% chance the Bills win and only 5% chance the Patriots win?   I like those odds, I think... but who wins the other 75% of the time?

 

Wait...then you corrected yourself and said 55% chance the Bills win but only a 40% chance they lose.

 

The more I re-read your post and look at the percentages you posted the more insane the whole post is.   Thanks for giving me a chuckle this morning.

 

Bro,  I hope to be as drunk by game time as you already appear to be now. 🤣

Josh and Daboll need to stay humble and hungry tonight. Take what the Pats give you. Don't be too haughty to settle for field goals. There's nothing wrong with ball control drives.

 

As for the defense, the Bills have to get to Macorkle, or at least make him very uncomfortable. Do we have Star back?
