New England Week

[TFBillsfan]

While the Patriots record isn’t good, they’ve been in numerous close games and rarely get blown out. Bills need to take care of business right from the start. Protect the ball, play with discipline and physicality.  They got embarrassed earlier in the season against the Patriots so I would assume this game has their FULLl attention. 
 

Bills need to score points early and force the Patriots out of their comfort zone. 
 

Bills have so much to play for so all the pressure is on them. Last regular season home game so the stadium should be loud.

 

Would love a nice 30-10 win with the Bills playing well in all phases. But expecting a much closer score.

Let's not overthink it.

Division games are always very hard

I am hearing red shirts and blue pants.  🤞

[Bills!Win!]

Every time Josh Allen tells the mafia to be loud we end up winning. Come out and say it Josh

So you are saying it is Josh's fault when we lose.

[Coffeesforclosers]

***** em where they live. I hate the Pats, losing to those hasbeens is a disgrace. 

[Success]

Zappe, at home?

 

We're not losing.

We almost lost to a guy named Stick.

Its Shtick

[947]

If we come out in the Frazier-style soft zone & let Zappe pick us apart on the first drive with 20 yard routes with our safeties 10 yards off, we'll know it's gonna be another nail biter.

[H2o]

Let's flippin gooooo!!!

Good point.  After watching the Chargers put up a fight and the Raiders beat KC, nothing is a given.

 

New England’s defense is pretty good and Barmore and Uche are two game wreckers.
 

The Bills can’t sleep walk through this game and expect a victory.  If they do, NE can find a way to cause turnovers and help put points on the board.
 

The NE offense in the other hand is pretty depleted.  If there aren’t any turnovers I don’t see them scoring enough points to win…but who knows?

Yeah but it really took a lot.  Some really bad penalties and terrible times.  3 turnovers - 2 inside the Bills own territory and one at midfield, 50+ yard field goals, 0 defensive turnovers.  
 

With that being said NE is still hard (to the detriment of their draft pick) and can’t be overlooked.

Gabe has to APPEAR again this week. Belichick will try to take away Diggs on offense. It would be nice to see the PHYSICAL Bills show up and run the ball down their throats

I’d actually like to see a combo of the passing game clicking to get a big lead and then run it down there throats the remainder of the game. 
 

It would be good to see Diggs having a bigger impact as well and getting Kincaid engaged. And please no more lateral screens to Diggs!

[BADOLBILZ]

 

If they get swept by the bottom-feeding Patriots they don't deserve to be in the playoffs.    Shouldn't be a tough task for leadership to motivate the team this week.

Least we didn’t lose to ODonnell

[RunTheBall]

If we come out flat after that near disaster against the Chargers, you really have to question both the coaching and talent. We all talk about “when we are on we are unbeatable” but that’s the exception not the rule with our current Bills. Brady didn’t call a good game against LA, Josh was one of the main reasons we won but also was clearly inaccurate throughout the game, and our passing game is a mess. I’m hoping Diggs and Kincaid get healthy and Brady gets back to attacking the opposing team’s weaknesses on offense. 

 

At this point, we are who we are. A team that can beat anyone but can also lose to anyone.

 

I fully expect a W against the Pats* but won’t surprise me at all if it’s another nail biter.

 

Best case is some hurt guys get healthy and we continue to stack W’s all the way to the Super Bowl. Can’t say I’m confident but it’s definitely possible.

 

[Rubes]

The universe is jonesing for a Bills-Fins showdown week 18. Take care of the Pats**** this weekend and make it happen.

 

[Buffalo_Stampede]

Bills will roll NE big.

[LABILLBACKER]

Just don't commit any turnovers and we win easily.  Take what they give us and tell the team no fricken fumbles.

[Richard Noggin]

I'll be darned if the Bills don't play DOWN to their opponents though, innit

[Dick_Cheney]

Really hoping Jones is available for this one.

I agree.  And they’re not losing to Zappe and Mac Jones in the same season. It’s a revenge game too.  McDermott usually has the team ready for these.

This could be Belichick's last visit to Orchard Park, they won't take this lightly. 

[Success]

In the old days, when the Patriots had to win & they were playing the Bills - there was simply nothing the Bills could do.  It was like a dentist's appointment.  Just something we had to get through.

 

Same deal next Sunday, but reversed.  The Bills will win, and the Pats won't be able to do a thing about it.

I agree.  No way they let the Pats sweep us.  Bills know what's on the line and what's in front of them.  In a must win game at home - we win in convincing fashion.

We're not losing.

 

Zappe was competent to borderline good against Denver in Denver and got the W.

25/33 for 256 yards and 2 TDs

 

Stick took us to the wire going 23/33 for 215 yards and 0 TDs

 

I would not overlook teams that have nothing to lose and relish ruining your season, especially a division rival. 

[Aussie Joe]

Mahomes, Dak, Easton Stick and Zappe…

 

Quite the murderers row of QBs the Bills are facing …

[Governor]

I’m looking past NE to Miami. I hope it doesn’t cost us.

Well, unless your a member of the Bills coaching staff or a player that is undercover posting here, I think we're safe 😂

More like a colonoscopy.  The only way we lose this game is turnovers and special teams blunders.

[Ray Stonada]

Would love to come out and throw for 250 yards and 3 TDs in the first half. Then run for 250 and 3 more second half. Pay Belichick back for the wind game. 

[oldmanfan]

Have to come out a lot more focused than they did Saturday night.

The Pats I believe are one of the top run defenses in the league. They are awful in the secondary right now so Allen should have a field day.  As someone mention Baremore and Uche can be game wreckers and Baremore should be a Pro Bowler this year.. and I mean a real one that is selected 1st not like the 10th alt. Lol

 

Zappe is a good backup and has gone 2-3 as a starter. He has yet to put a complete game together but has flashed for a 1/2 here and there. 

[Since1981]

Send Billy away with his LAST BUF present —> 2nd string Bills team all of 4Q!

31-13 Bills

[wjag]

After watching NE beat the Broncos on the road, I’m convinced they will not roll over on the Bills.  I loved the sideline shots of Belichick. Good play or bad play, zero emotion.
