Game week thread - Pats at Bills SNF

[mbowman14]

The entire argument about the Pats being the best team the Bills have played is flat out ridiculous. Sports books don’t like to lose money and right now the Ravens are around +1000 while the Patriots are between +10,000 and 15,000 to win the Super Bowl.

Sports books like to hedge their bets to not lose money.. heck I think the Bengals are still an +600 and does anyone even expect them win a game with this QB?

 

and right now be a shock if the Ravens make the playoffs. Why? 34 teams out of 235 who have started 1-3 have made the playoffs that’s roughly a 14% chance of making the playoffs.. not exactly great odds. It amazes me how people forget how the NFL changes fast from year to year teams fall off and one usually comes out of nowhere be good like last year that was the Washington Commanders..  

 

So now someone call me delusional when I post  facts.. not once stating I expect the Bills under perform or anything.. heck if I had money I’d put it on the bills to go to the SB.

The Pats message board also expects the Bills to win.

 

So why bother posting there when you can troll?

Ok show me one post where I said I expect the Pats to win?

Talking like you know how sportsbooks work and then claiming the Bengals are +600 when they are +25000

 

Lol

I will admit I was a little overconfident last week, and I suspect that some of the Bills players were as well vs the Saints by the level of play in the game.

 

I don't see that happening this week vs a Division opponent..... the Bills will want to assert their continued dominance over the AFC East, and will take this game seriously from the beginning.

 

Go Bills!!

we have a 17 game season now, plus 7 playoff teams. That extra game and playoff spot make a huge difference.

I think it's a good thing that the Pats won big last week. It got the Bills attention, even though film study will tell them that the Panthers quit in the second quarter.

@PatsFanNH if you were the head coach of the Patriots, what is your plan to beat the Bills on Sunday night?

[Steptide]

What's the story with the 2 suspended guys we signed? Wernt they eligible to come back this week? I've been out of the loop this week.

Eligible after the 6th game...so after the bye.

McD takes these Pats games pretty serious so I’m expecting a rout.

I think the entire franchise takes this game serious.  The sting of a decade+ of Patriots dominance doesn't fade that fast.

Vrabel has been a pest in the past so we need to wreck him.

[RunTheBall]

This is a joke. We will boat race the Pats*. We are 4 games in and have played like ass for most of them while putting up 31 as an after thought. This is Baby Goat all over again when Mac Jones had 1 good year and NE fans were fitting him with a gold jacket. Has PatsFanNH  even been around the last 4 years? Maybe he has. Hard to hear him above the deafening silence of the biggest band wagon fans in sports history. I live in NE. There’s been ZERO talk about the Hartford err NE Patriots* for 5 years now. GO SOX! Go Bruins! Bandwagoners.

 

Maye has potential. We will see. Pats* fans have been desperate since both Brady and Gronk gave up on that team,city, and fans and NOPED the F out of there because of they couldn’t stand to be there anymore. Can’t wait to see what Diggs pulls after his usual honeymoon is over.

 

Vrabel is a douche bag and perfect for that team. I don’t expect an easy out as divisional games are always tough but it’s laugh out loud funny to hear Pats* fans talk about an easy schedule when they’ve been the easy schedule for half a decade.

Gameplan if I'm the Pats-

 

1. Use Henderson and Stevenson early and often (Especially if either/both of Oliver and Milano are out). The Bills are ranked 31st against the run. Also plays into the keep away mentality and keeps 17 off the field.

2. Much like the Dolphins did, use Maye with alot of 3 step drops, RPO's and bubble screens. The Dolphins have alot of speed and made this look easy, something the Pats dont have. But its their best option in the pass game.

3. Utilize Hunter Henry. Test the youngster Cole Bishop/LBs in coverage.

4. Set the edge and utilze Spillane/Ellis/Mapu as spies on Allen and jam the receivers at the LOS.

5. Double team Kincaid in the red zone.

 

Gameplan if I'm the Bills-

 

1. The Patriots have the 2nd best rushing defense in the league so the Bills have to force the Patriots into Nickle/Dime looks. This will create light boxes in 11 personnel for the run game and speed mismatches over the middle with Samuel/Moore against Spillane/Ellis/Mapu and also a size mismatch with Kincaid against Hawkins.

2. When running, utilize the outside zone with Cook and designed QB runs to test Baremore, Tonga, Williams' gap integrity.

3. Use playaction to freeze the LBs and hit TEs over the middle.

4. Crowd the box on defense. Force Maye to beat you with his arm.

5. Use a spy against Maye in obvious passing situations and stay disiplined on the edge.

Lol these players don't care and weren't here. Do you still hold a grudge to the company that cancelled a contract of your companies 6 yrs ago?

[Governor]

Marrone obviously ain’t playing this time. He didn’t appreciate how you relentlessly attacked him on the radio for not going for it on every 4th down. He comin.

last year’s game against them at home was pretty pathetic for over a half.

[ChronicAndKnuckles]

Dan Orlovsky is declaring an “upset alert.” Maybe POSSIBLY in Foxborough, but not happening in Orchard Park. 
 

The Yankees just eliminated the Red Sox. Time to add the cherry on top this Sunday.
