I know that there were splashier results in more advertised games (Cowboys vs Dolphins, Ravens vs Niners) and a bigger upset (Chiefs loss) but very little about how the Bills clawed their way to the 6th seed with the potential to jump to #2. Cowherd put the Bills at #3 in his Herd hierarchy. The Ravens are #1 & the 49's #2. Nick Wright didn't like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColoradoBills Posted December 26, 2023 Share Posted December 26, 2023 Weather (I know, a far way off) looks cloudy and the 30s. Probably average wind. Typical Buffalo winter weather. As for some X's and O's, curious how Brady will consider the Bills run game. Patriots are best in the league against the run. Can't abandon the run but need to find a way to get production. Could be a key to the game. Shutting down the Patriots run game and then pressuring Zappe is my "I'm a fan and don't know crap) gameplan. Sure would be nice to see the Bills Special Teams come and play a decent game. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can feel however he wants about it, his team has no room to speak anymore they're essentially in a similar state only they're playing their worst football at the worst time and they have no real competition in their division.

DaBillsFanSince1973 Posted December 26, 2023 Share Posted December 26, 2023 Buffalo Bills look to prepare for second consecutive trap game vs. Patriots Buffalo Bills look to prepare for second consecutive trap game vs. Patriots It was just a month ago where the Bills stood at 6-6 after a heartbreaking loss against the Philadelphia Eagles and their playoff hopes. Since then, they have ripped off three consecutive wins against the Kansas City Chiefs, Dallas Cowboys and the Los Angeles Chargers. They were able to get the upper hand on the Chiefs, beat down the Cowboys, and just squeak by the Chargers to put them at 9-6. Not only do they have a great chance at making the playoffs, but they also can go into Week 18 battling for the AFC East against the Miami Dolphins, if the Dolphins lose to the Baltimore Ravens. This once again feels like a trap game for the Bills. They have more to lose than the Patriots (even though New England’s win last week may have cost them a Caleb Williams or Drake Maye). The Patriots are coming off a win against the Denver Broncos, who were fighting to keep their playoff hopes alive but failed to do so. This could very well be the last time the Bills see Bill Belichick across from them, with there being rumors about his future with the Patriots. Don’t think that Belichick wouldn’t like to walk into Highmark this Sunday and get the final shot against the Bills. Buffalo will need to stay focused and prepare for a New England defense that has been the reason why they have the wins they do this season 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phypon Posted December 26, 2023 Share Posted December 26, 2023 My fear after the Ravens game is that the refs come out amped up and start putting our players in half nelsons and suplexes causing an elated mcClappy to injure his timeout calling hand... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted December 26, 2023 Share Posted December 26, 2023 This is one of those games where if we take care of the ball, and get some good field position and make some kicks, we easily win like 23-10, and it won’t be close at any time. just have to play smart. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tall ask, improbable but not impossible. Problem is that in order for us to win the division the Dolphins have to lose to Ravens, so Lamar will be 13-4 at worst and he'll get it.

Stick with what has worked: use Cook to run the ball and trust that he's better on balance in spite of any mistakes. Let the run open the pass. Let Josh play off script.

I think this is an excellent week to just off one thing lacking from Brady's gameplan so far: the play action pass. It turns out that when you do the analytics, you don't actually need to run the ball a lot for PA to be effective. You just need enough of it for teams to *think* you're going to do it.

If the Bills can run the ball at all with some production, they can control the game and Josh should have time to throw. NE has a great D, but they are in the bottom third of the league in sacks.

Nick Wright didn't like it. Instant karma for ol' Nick yesterday. Posted after the Bills game that they peaked in 2020 and that he's the "only one" who is right about them. And now his Chiefs - who he thought would go undefeated - have the same record. And his beloved Mahomes has 1 less turnover than Allen, and 13 fewer TD's. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Einstein Posted December 26, 2023 Share Posted December 26, 2023 Visited the Patriots forum and they are pretty confident. They say the Patriots have had a late season resurgence with Zappe at QB and look like a different team, winning 2 of their last 3 games.
