Game week thread - Pats at Bills SNF

[Slack_in_MA]

Pats corners are pretty good. Take advantage of the middle of the field where they’re weaker.

 

Pass rush must show up and not let Maye get comfortable. He’s pretty accurate when given time.

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

 

Lol

Depends on the sports book you’re looking at.. but I’m guessing you think there is only 1? With online gambling there is like 30 of them with odds.. the one I gave is the one I last placed a bet on like a year ago (I have the app)

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

Run the football and control the clock and throw in play action passing to keep the D honest. The only way IMO to win is to limit the amount of touches Allen and your O has.  On D stop Cook and contain Allen in the pocket try make the Bills 1 dimensional and our secondary is SUPPOSE to be our D strength and we have a very good front 4 as well.. my fear is Allen even if they do this right is going feast on our LB covering your 2 TE.

I very rarely post on this site. I trust a lot of people on here to have way more football knowledge than I do. Maybe it's the 17 years of no playoffs, the wind game, them beating us a few years ago, etc. I don't ever take NE laying down. They are better than Miami and NY for sure. I respect their coach, and their QB seems competent if not good. I don't trust our defense and we can't throw down field. With the injuries we heard about today, it just makes me more worried.  

 

Just be focused, don't turn the ball over, take this team seriously, be ready to score, and expect a grind. I wish we would destroy them. I want that. Ha. 

 

Go Bills! 

 

I agree with almost all of this.  But I'm not convinced we can't throw downfield.  When we needed to throw downfield in the 4th against the Ravens, we did so with spectacular results.  

 

It's also worth noting that we play against a lot of nickel with two deep safeties.  Opponents are more-or-less letting us beat them with Cook's 4 & 5-yard carries, but they're determined not to let us dice them up with Josh's deep throws.

 

Having said all that, we don't have elite wideouts and I'm not sure the downfield passing game is Brady's forte.  So maybe there's some truth to what you said.  But Brady is good at taking what defenses give him and puts a lot of points on the board.

This game is gonna be a close tough battle. Patriots defense is pretty nice.

@PatsFanNH, for what it's worth, I appreciate you taking part in our discussion of the game.  It's nice to get another perspective, especially when I haven't watched a Pats game yet this year.

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.

This means nothing when you suit up and take the field…Just look at the Saints last week…I would not be shocked if the Bills lost their first game this week or next…Any given Sunday…

Nah, I don't think the players see it the way the fans do.  And even then...most of the current players weren't here in 2019 to experience what Foxboro was like during the Brady years then in 2020 when the "worm turned".  
 

Allen, Dawkins, Reid Ferguson, Taron Johnson, Milano, Tre White - that's about all, I think.

Would’ve been awesome to see a prime Allen face off against Brady.

Found this funny - he left out the season that is currently only 4 weeks old. 

Even they don’t know how “good” they may be.  
 

 

 

 

 

I expect to beat the ***t out of this team.

I am not disputing that the Bills could lose. See Packers, Browns. I am saying the Ravens are far superior. The Bills play their A game, they beat NE. That isn’t necessarily true with Baltimore.
