nedboy7 Posted 2 hours ago Posted 2 hours ago (edited) Ironic that we’re only one week away from the “no one in the AFC scares us “ declarations. Yeah this is why you don’t get hyped up after barely beating the Chiefs. Edited 2 hours ago by nedboy7 1 Quote
May Day 10 Posted 2 hours ago Posted 2 hours ago 34 minutes ago, Ghost_002! said: I don't think that graphic is solely based on team's fan viewership. If you did this same graphic the years they were winning SBs the numbers would be a lot different. And the pats are only 1 game up. As a pats fans it's cool to be relevant again, but the bills still have Josh Allen so no matter how it looks now doesn't mean it's gonna play out the same way. The damn 9-7 Giants won a SB in 01(the pats 16-0 yr). Bills get hot at the right time with Josh Allen we could be talking about the bills in the SB. I don't believe the Bills are out of it or done. Could definitely be a team that clicks and wins 4 playoff games in a row... But looking at the schedules, how the Bills are built and playing, looking at the Patriots (even the Colts/Broncos/Chargers)... it is a huge uphill climb at this point. I haven't felt that the Bills have been this vulnerable since Covid. The fact that there is no/zero wide receiver threat at all is unprecedented in a real contending team. Kincaid pulled his hammy and is probably going to out past Christmas and he was the only credible threat past 5 yards down the field. Cook is good, but stop him and the offense is done. Defense is broken/injured, undersized and any back who runs downhill is going to feed them their lunch. They can sell out to stop the RB, but then, any of the other 31 teams who have a better WR room than the Bills will make them pay. They are going to need to perform a pretty extensive surgery on this roster. So much dead money tied up in worthless, redundant, aging, and/or oft-injured players. The world is New England's oyster for the time being with a good coach, good OC, hungry roster, and a competent QB on a rookie deal. 1 Quote
50yrpatsfan Posted 1 hour ago Posted 1 hour ago (edited) It's not just Vrabel, McDaniels, and Maye's rise. It's the 14 new starters (rookies and FA's) at LT, LG, C, RT, RB, WR1, WR3, NT, DE, 3 LB's, FS, CB2 - plus CB1 & stud DE returning after missing last season. 16 out of 22. Plus new TE2, FB. WR5, K. There's only 6 guys who played a big role from last year's team who still play a big role. New coaching staff, 16 new starters, a couple of new execs in the front office to assist Wolf. It's like the team plane crashed and they started over. Edited 1 hour ago by 50yrpatsfan Quote
CirclnWagons Posted 1 hour ago Posted 1 hour ago I’ve stated this multiple times and been absolutely crushed for it. Top to bottom, the Pats are the far superior roster in terms of talent. Beane continues to stick to his guns on his preference for slow, unathletic receivers and the team continues to be fine telling 17 to just figure it out. It was only a matter of time before we were sent back to the basement of the AFC east even with a once in a generation talent at QB Quote

It's like the team plane crashed and they started over. I'll give the Patriots all the credit in the world for drafting Maye and failing fast by firing the dolt they had at head coach last year. Vrabel was a great hire. That said, playing a last place schedule and being in the AFC East where you play the Jets and Dolphins twice a year is a huge part of what's going on with your team this year. Congrats on being good for one year. But slow down on patting yourself on the back on this "complete rebuild." If you win the division this year come back and tell me how great your team is when you play a 1st place schedule. 1 minute ago, CirclnWagons said: I’ve stated this multiple times and been absolutely crushed for it.

I agree on the roster, I've heard all year about how the Bills have so much depth, meanwhile we have practice squad players playing meaningful snaps every week. The Bills havent had the benefit of having a last place schedule in 12 years. The Patriots have a few good wins, but for the most part they play crap teams week in and week out. Quote

Yea I see what you are saying, they do cast doubts and the road as of now is easier for the pats, but the way the Bills took apart KC last week. I know there is still a "team" in there that could be very dangerous from whatever seed they will be. As a rival fan the Bills still a problem, until they are not. Quote
Jeffbigalls Posted 27 minutes ago Posted 27 minutes ago 12 hours ago, Success said: I'm still not buying in. The Bucs blew it today. They're definitely good, but are being hyped like a top-tier team - and they're just not that. This is a Commanders type of run they're having. "Back down to earth" will be on the menu at some point. Though, with the way we're playing, it might net them a division title this year. They are a top tier team thru 10 games, they fine ways to win games, they are the best team in the AFC East thru 10 games. Top tier teams find ways to win games, not lose games. When they play buffalo again off the bye and beat them we can see what excuse will be then. Quote
