Game week thread - Bills at Patriots

[Buffalo Ballin]

We can't run the ball against these Patriots. They'll sniff that out every time. They're number one in run defense.

 

However, once we get within goal line, Patriots defense becomes the worst in the NFL for some odd reason. When the pressure is on, they crumble.

 

Their pass defense is not that good. They're mid in that area (ranked 21st or so). Josh Allen's arm has to get the job done.

They don't have Milton Williams or Tonga 2 of their 3 starters up front at Dt

 

Their edges are extremely vulnerable vs the run. Their left side is out for the oline....They're going to get outclassed in this game

Christian Gonzalez has been the league's best cornerback this season and Carlton Davis maybe the best number 2 corner.. plus the pass rush has been on the rise.. the Patriots are very exotic with their blitz and pressure schemes.

Another thing is in the last pats game Rapp was playing on one healthy leg, benford & White were not 💯 with mild groin strains... There was no Hairston, poyer or healthy Milano, no Thompson, Walker and TJ Sanders were more Green 

 

 

I feel very confident in this game. Pats are good, Maye is good but this is a different level imo.

 

 

[Buffalo Ballin]

Oh well.

 

People can hype up the Patriots all they want. We already lived through their best: Tom Brady, Gronk, and that defense.

 

Nothing should intimidate us at this point. Bring them on. Beat all their asses with all of their hype men in their corner. We usually get the burnt end of the fries anyway regarding hype.

outclassed?  Will be a tough match up.  The highest point total they have given up all year is 27.  Cincinnati defense is ranked dead last, Patriots defense is ranked at 7th or 8th.

As a group it's probably the best 3 CBS in the NFL 

 

Gonzalez 

Davis 

Jones- nickel

What is a different level? Patriots have been the most consistent team in the AFC the entire season and sitting at 11-2, second in the conference? Buffalo's recent success (last few years) has no relevant bearing on the upcoming Sunday.  Its an exciting matchup for both teams who are both contenders.  

I'm excited for this matchup as this will be an awesome game!  Josh Allen Superman vs the likely MVP Drake Maye (may receive more votes because he played vs top defenses like Falcons, and Browns without names like Puka Nacua who might be the league's best WR)

Its not hype its the truth.  You can feel how you want about it but it is what it is.  The toughest matchup on the Buffalo Bill schedule to a team that already beat them in THEIR house before their win streak really started and they really knew who they were.  They are 11-2 where other good teams have lesser record and loss to teams they weren't supposed to.  It is what it is.

Whatever happens this week happens - I feel really confident we'll win, btw

 

BUT!!!  If we lose to the goddamn Patriots in the playoffs this year, I am absolutely done with BB and SM.   I will be completely numb to this team if either of them are retained after a loss like that.

This isn't the same Patriots team from the last few years lol every year is a different year.  They emerged a year ahead of schedule but they are legit contenders.  I've already said that Buffalo and New England are the two best teams and I give Buffalo flowers as in Id say Buffalo is better than Denver despite Denver's schedule, I just feel New England is the most complete, discipline, well coached team led by an emerged Elite trigger man at QB who looks like a generational talent thus far with a historical playcaller coaching him and an elite head coach also coaching him who between both have numerous superbowl titles.

Sounds like a Pats fan.

 

That's ok. In this thread, you will write novels until game time. We'll just read. Thanks.

Ok? lol I don't really care my guy.  Just excited for the game between the two best teams in the AFC remaining in the playoffs right now.
