Tough and disciplined.  That’s what I’m hoping for tonight.  I can live with a loss if we play tough and disciplined football.  

I don't know if this site will be able to handle a loss. I have a feeling I and going to see "Site not available" if they lose.

If you expected The Nucch's memes/gifs/vids/attachments to be long winded and contrary to the man himself...you'd be making as big a mistake as #MJ10 deciding to go with tennis shoes tonight.

 

Thank you, Nucch...see everyone, it is not that hard to make a brief, but epic take.

 Nah we are a resilient bunch. We’ve built up a lot of experience these last couple decades.

How is Dugger not officially ruled out yet?

Anyone else remember the last game in 2008? It was Pats at bills and it was ridiculously windy. I vaguely remember the bills being too conservative, while bilechick had Cassel (Brady was out for the season) throwing it. I just hope the bills coaching staff doesn't over think this and play too conservative 

It was the opposite -- Cassel only threw it 8 times (9 including the sack). They ran it 47 times. The Bills threw it 25 times (27 including the two sacks) and ran it 35 times. https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/200812280buf.htm

Pats attempted 8 passes that day to the Bills’ 25. But I agree with your point, let’s not just “pound the rock”

Cut me a little slack, it was 13 years ago 😂

 

I just remember the bills not being able to do anything in that weather, and if I remember correctly, the Patriots were using wind direction to their advantage

A lot of candidates. I've blocked many of them the last 10 days! Much nicer😀

This has worked out perfect for the Bills. Monday Night Game, Patriots on a 6 game winning streak ( beating absolutely no one). The Patriots are the # 1 seed  in the AFC. The entire media is crowning the Patriots  👑 AFC Champs. And AFC Super Bowl Representatives. We are in Orchard Park with our Strong Armed QB. And our #1 Defense. (Minus Tre 😢). This is exactly where we want to be. Scared? Of what? We are the better team at home. Trying to beat the #1 seed. What more do you want. LFG💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪

He’s on the covid list. Until/unless he comes off, he is officially “Out”

Saw a post on social media from espn, it was a picture of Mac jones and it said that the pats are the current 1 seed

 

It made my blood boil

No news on Duggar is good news for the Bills. He’s not going to show up tonight “ I’m good feel great”. Hoodie’s got my positive tests in his pocket. Oh will they 🤭

Let's hope the team saw that and THEIR blood is boiling!  If the Bills don't come out with some serious attitude this could be a long night....

For me this comes down to penalties and turnovers......limit those and the Bills will win.

The fans will be nausiating if the Pats win this game......and I live in NE, will have to see it everyday, not just online.   For my mental health, I need the Bills to win, they care about me right?

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. 

If we lose this one, for me that's the season, right there, we'll be a continual question mark on the what if we had drafted a running back for power game.  What if we had found a larger body in the trenches to stop the run?  It'll be the game which defines whether we are truthfully a force in the AFC or if we need to start answering question marks over staff, players, and mindset.

I was at that game, and my god it was bad.  I went with two pats fans from college (good guys!) and we had seats in the Mark Kuelsow club.  I was drunk and chanting "You don't know what you're doing" to Skeletor like a British soccer fan.

 

And that team roster...Derek Fine? Xavier Omon? Holy hell. What a mess.  That was a Drought team if there ever was one.

For me this is an absolute must win game which determines everything from Coaching, to players, and management.  Winning for this game is the only thing which matters.  It doesn't matter if it's a close game it'll be the deciding factor in whether or not we are an elite force in the AFC.  If not there's to many question marks and variables to really know what could've been.  My feeling is that it will determine whether or not we make the playoffs.  We lose this and we might as well just say next season, check the tapes, trust the process, and build back better with a middle of the road pick.
