I pay some attention to the Pats.   Maye's nickname should be "clean pocket."  When he has time, he looks elite; any pressure, and he seems to panic a bit, and that's when he makes the mistakes.

 

I guess not THAT unusual for a young QB, but it seems like a bigger gap w/ him.  2 very different QB's depending on if defenses can rattle him.

 

You just described 28 of the 32 starting QB's.

FWIW I'm starting TreVeyon Henderson in our family fantasy league, which typically means he will under perform expectations.

I think this will be a difficult game for us.  The Bills are winning by low double digits but something overall just seems slightly off.  In previous years, this team would have stacked more points and put the game away earlier.  I hope I'm wrong, but I think this is our first loss of the year. If so, I expect it galvanizes the team we we end the season with 2 more losses total and secure the #1 seed.  The talent is there, I just think we need to stop being sloppy and put it all together for 60 minutes

Considering looking at last year's play calls to this year's play calls I think he's only called about 35% of his offense 

 

I think he's got a lot left

 

I want to agree with you, I do. And it has to be right, doesn't it? 

 

But we haven't seen a ton of evidence to support that hope, have we? 

 

It's tough after watching the 49ers 2nd string offense last night do some things through the air against the Rams 1st string defense, (the Rams also did some things through the air), and comparing that to what we're seeing out of the Bills thus far. I know that running the ball has immense value, but just imagine Allen playing QB for Johnson, McVay, Shanahan, O'Connell, et al...wow. There is something to be said for well designed and executed passing attacks; it's fun. Ever since (and probably before) Air Coryell. The K-Gun, for example, was a balanced offense, but would aggressively hammer those intermediate and deep routes if they were there. Keep the defenses spread out and guessing. Give the fans some bang for their buck.

I think this will go down as the biggest performance of the year from the D-Line in total sack numbers, even after all the other guys come back.  Here’s why;

 

Maye likes to hang onto the football and has been sacked a lot this season as a result.  

 

The Pats can’t run the ball and will be forced into some long yardage situations with a young quarterback.  

 

It’ll be a warm, beautiful night in Western New York which nobody should take lightly…train horn rollin, the blizzard uni’s flocking to the QB…it’ll be a beautiful sight.
 

If Brady forces the issue like I think he will and makes NE play chase, I just don't see them holding up.

 

Maye gets sacked 6 times in this game which is a season high for Buffalo and will be the standard for the rest of the year.

 

 

 

 

^^^ I’ll have what he’s smoking…😉

I would not be shocked at all, if we lose…

 

One of these games is going to be a major wake up call

The issue with this is that while the Bills pass rushers DO individually generate some pressure, they don't often win reps across the LOS as a unit, thereby leaving escape route(s) for mobile QBs (like Maye) to exploit.
