New England Week

[FilthyBeast]

Not going to lie holidays were intense year and I'm extremely paranoid and concerned about this game especially when you think about last year in the season finale and only winning because of 2 kick return TD's and what this same Patriots team did earlier in the year with Mac Jones.

 

Hoodie is trying to go out on a high note in NE (and screwing them in the process by moving further away from a top draft pick) and that defense still legit scary right now.

 

With that said, I can't imagine the Bills blow this at home where they've been significantly better this year unless we see a repeat of the Broncos game (who ironically the Patriots just beat in their building).

Mycah and AJ day to day instead of week to week....

If the Bills had blown out the Chargers I would be more concerned.  The fact that Buffalo was sloppy with the ball and had to squeak by that team with basically a walk off FG, I'm sure McDermott has their full attention this week.  Plus it's a revenge game from earlier in the season.  I like Buffalo big in this one and I'm usually very conservative about these matchups.

Hopefully they can keep AJ on the sideline for this one. He needs to be as healthy as he can get for the post season. I don't know what switch has flipped for him, but his athleticism and instincts have improved by leaps and bounds.

 

Cut Von loose and slide a few of his stacks over AJ's way.

Howard's still got it from time to time.

 

1 pm games are still my favorites for tailgating. Very easy to pace when it comes to booze.

We were missing a ton of defensive pieces for that last matchup that have been mostly replaced…if Ed and Rasul Douglas played in that last game I dont think they would’ve scored over 20

 

that bills defensive roster for that stretch after the jags game was one of the leagues worst imo 

 

pats are missing a bunch of players on defense too but none are returning this season

The Bills need new audio guys because the ones they have, have not figured it out.  The audio is terrible.

How hard can this be in 2023? I can record quality audio from an ADK mountain or finger lake…that’s where Bills biz is still stuck like a small business auto repair shop vs $5B business.

I know, right?  Other team's pressers, you can actually hear the questions the reporters ask.  In some, the team calls on the reporters, presumably so that the sound guy can activate the relevant mic, but the WNY press corps is not so big that they shouldn't be able to pass around a portable mic or two.

I actually like Bailey Zappe especially when compared to prior NE QB (Brady, Mac Jones), he actually has a relatively quick nice release for short/intermediate passes.  Sitting on the bench in OP is one thing, playing under those conditions is something totally different,

I Read No Lies

I recall complaining about this last few years, you could barely hear the questions.  The alleged response was that the questions asked were just or so incredibly valuable and proprietary, they dint want the questions to be heard, only the answers.  Biggest non-sense in the world.

[Aussie Joe]

I know it’s a low bar …. But McD definitely seems more relaxed in these interviews post the Tyler Dunne hatchet job 

[Success]

We're playing the Patriots as heavy favorites.

 

We're playing for the division, and they'll likely finish in last place..

 

These are all things that were unheard of when Brady was there.  Gotta appreciate these days.

Who didn't want the questions being heard, the team or the reporters?

 

I mean, it's called "Q & A" for a reason.  The "A" doesn't entirely make sense without the "Q" context.

I am just reporting what I read here, I think it is absolute non-sense, borderline laughable the other reporters did want their precious words of wisdom to be stolen.

 

To the original point this has been going on for several years with terrible audio, i have replayed many a bills press conference trying to hear the questions.

I agree,  Also post a winning streak and firing of Dorsey.
