Does anyone know when the final weather thread comes out?

FINAL final?  You'll have to wait for the highly-anticipated "Post-Game Weather Thread", provided by those poor souls trying to get the f*#k out of the stadium at midnight.

Nate Burleson picked the Bills to lose and predicted that Mac Jones would throw for more yards than Josh Allen (these were "bold" predictions, btw).

 

Burleson is a closet Bills hater and always has been. Not sure why.

 

"Mac Jones threw for a total of 164 yards in his two games vs. Buffalo during the regular season. He digs deep in his bag of tricks in Saturday night's wild-card game and leads the Patriots to an upset victory by throwing for more yards than Josh Allen."

Also, Greg Rosenthal from NFL.com picked the Patriots to win. Rosenthal has always been an Allen doubter and still is:

On the Boomer and Gio show at WFAN. Boomer picked the Bills but Gio picked the Pats.

To say rookie Mac Jones has a "bag of tricks" and then suggest it's deep....is generous.

During the cold weather game the Pats won when Jones threw 3 passes the key was all the drops by the Bills WR.  I think the drops by the WR are a bigger issue than JA throws.  I think BB knows the WR drops can lead to tip INTs hence why I do not expect Jones to throw more than ten passes all game long again.

Cowherd hedged.  He likes the Pats to cover +4, but picked the Bills 28-27.   He spent most of his picks segment talking about how much he likes the underdogs this weekend (except for Raiders).

I agree.  BB's whole strategy will be to quickly get this game to the 4th Qtr and have it be a 1 score game.  He will try to ball control the Bills with 6-Olinemen and slamming the run.   He will glady take Allen getting impatient and throwing risky passes.  One turnover either way could be the difference.  I expect Josh to run like a madman, 15+ runs,,,,many of the unscripted variety when his first look isn't there.  I think Allen's running will be the difference.

Does WNY even know the Sabres exist right now? I would imagine they don't until the Bills season ends.

 

I was in Buffalo in November 2018. The Sabres had a 10 game winning streak. Bills were 5-9 or something.  Couldn't find anyone on the radio talking Bills.  It was all Sabres.

Yeah I sort of hope Allen does that. Just takes off if nothing is there, even if he only gets 3 or 4 yards in early downs. I just hope they don't try to purposely injure him, not that I could imagine a Belichick team doing such a thing

Burleson is not a Bills hater. Just because someone picks the other team doesn't make them a hater. We need to grow thicker skin.
