It really looks like the Bills will have no excuses not to perform well on offense.

Receivers room fully healthy. Running backs room fully healthy. Offensive line together for the third straight week. Allen healthy. Knox healthy. Weather will be cold, but likely with no significant wind or precipitation.

All systems go. Blast off.

You mean except of playing in inhuman conditions? :)

Some interesting quotes in this article from Aaron Rodgers and Davante Adams about Green Bay and their cold games. 

 

Talks about the pass rush slowing down in cold games... the pain, the dexterity, and that between 32 to 10 degrees.. not much of a difference.  Under 10 degrees is noticeable.

100%. They have been found guilty of cheating multiple times over several years time…to think it wasn’t happening all along is naïve. Glad they aren’t my team. The wins would feel tainted because in my heart I would suspect they used extraordinary measures to accomplish their success.

 

Maybe this is why McDermott doesn't practice outdoors?

And that record was with Brady, I'm assuming?

 

It was.  I originally heard the stat on WGR.  I figured two of them were against the jets, which they were (1-1), but I couldn't figure out who the third one was.  So after some googling, the only other time I could find was against the Giants if you count a preseason game.

One of the two losses was the ‘94 postseason when he was HC of the Browns (they lost to the Steelers).

 

I think the other one may have been ‘09 against Sexy Rexy and the Jets?

 

Oh I didn't catch the Browns one when trying to find them.  The Jets with Rex is the loss.  The Jets with Mangini is the win.  If you count preseason they also played the Giants 3 times in the same season.

Pats are paying with house money at this point, I agree. However, going out there and having fun kinda flies in the face of the "Patriot Way" a bit. 

 

I think there is a LOT of pressure on the Pats...Bill Belichick is their coach. Everyone kisses the rings. Media has fawned over Jones all season. He's the "New Brady" according to some. And to some...these are the same 'ol Bills that will choke in the bright light despite what they have shown for the last few years. Being we have taken 3 of the last 4, pressure is on the Pats to step up. 

 

Serious question: Has anyone never taken 3 out of 4 from a BB coached Pats team? Or 4 out of 5?

 

Its the playoffs and everyone has pressure.  I think its more on the Bills though.  The Bills are the team that is supposed to be here. The Pats not really.

 

If the Bills lose its the team that was supposed to make a Superbowl and underachieved and choked in the WC game.  If the Pats lose then its no one really expected them to get there and they overachieved and did a good job.

Fans should always have faith their team will win.  That said if we had Brady back there and had lost 3 of the last 4.. I’d still expect to crush any team we faced! That said we don’t have Brady, we have a rookie who is supposedly playing threw numerous injuries and still an unknown asset for the long term.  Meanwhile the Bills have an established QB who no matter whose list is too 7 in the league with a D that is pretty good. 
 

In all honesty the Pats are like what Big Ben said of the Steelers. “ we suck and they are great so we just need go out there and have fun.” Aka all the pressure is on the Bills..

 

Numerous undisclosed injuries huh.  Whatever you guys need to tell yourselves.

It's more on the Bills because they were in the AFCCG last year. 

 

I'd say there's still just as much pressure on Belichick individually. He has to get over the post-Brady hump. If the Bills embarass them, then he's on the hot seat for Kraft, considering the well-known fact that Kraft wanted to keep Brady.

You know I hear everyone say how the media is drooling over Jones.  It has to be the national media because the ones up here are absolutely brutal on the kid.  (Adam Jones on 98.5 is the worst w him lol)

 

As for “having fun” I meant more like no pressure since no one, in their right minds, think they will win this game.  Doesn’t matter who the coach is. We have 1 top corner then after that it’s our 4th 5th and Practice squad guys.  But IMO Buffalo has all the pressure, you have the better. Team and they are suppose to be SB Contenders.. meanwhile Pats we’re considered a fringe playoff team..
 

I think they will make it close and the D once again will fail to make that critical stop to give Jones the ability to win or tie the game late.  (See Indy, Buffalo, Miami etc.)
