You lose Sunday (if) and lose to the Eagles that’s 6 losses so they would need someone else lose 2 games (most likely Indy) Also the Bills lost to the Dolphins there are no Ginny games for anyone in the AFC this year 

 

as for “vibe”  about dynasty being back where are you hanging out with 20 somethings who no next to nothing about football? Most fan are happy and shocked how well the team has done.. I personally have said the Pats aren’t as talented as the Bills but they may be better coached and confidence right now is through the roof so winning Sunday isn’t hard to believe and IMO can very well happen especially if the Bills continue to turn the ball over like they have been.

I'm not saying you 

 

But look at even some other Patriots fans here who are getting into it with the Bills fans here ... I've never thought about going on another team's forum yet plenty of AFC people have their fans on our forum 

 

And there's pot stirring

 

You're solid dude

Yeah that doesn't give me a warm fuzzy when an 11-2 team opens as a dog at home.

 

Even if the Patriots still manage to claim the AFC East, their reward might be hosting a team like Houston, where the Bills as a #5 would travel to the champ of the AFC Norris, probably at 9-8. It's a weird year.

Very weird year.. and unless the Ravens or Steelers find their groove that could be the easier road to go..  for ME this year is already a success just by seeing the growth Maye has made… he looks like a franchise QB that will only get better..

Big game this week.  The Bills we be ready to play. 

 

December football. Nothing like it

I expect them keep Cook under a 100 yards with a couple of big runs by him.. TE coverage has always been a weakness this year but few teams have exploited that at all so far.. game should be. Good one.

Goodness gracious.  Well, you're welcome on this board, and you're welcome to your expectations.  But "under 100 yards with a couple of big runs by him" with THIS offensive line?  I'd buy that argument in a heartbeat if this were Shady McCoy running behind Cordy Glenn, Ryan Groy and Cyrus Kouandjio.  You might be stuck in the wrong decade.  Maye is good - very good.  But he's going to have to lay down points each and every time he has the ball.  And he might do it.  But I'd be planning to be on the underside of the clock.

 

Much like the Pats* used to do to the Bills!

My team has a LOT of spoiled fans who knew nothing but winning, even before Brady the Pats went to a SB and were an above .500 team except for 1 year (BB first year) so you’re talking an entire generation who didn’t know of the Patsies of the late 80’s and early 90’s or the fear of the team moving.  

 

I been here for years, and 99% of the time I get along with everyone.. and try discuss the game and football.. like this Sunday I expect a very good game that could go either way..

You could be right! But the Bills are a running team and the Pats have not given up a 100 yards rushing to a RB yet. The one part of the Bills O scares me is the TE as that is the weakness of the defense is covering TE. Again I expect a good game that could go anyway unless one of the teams doesn’t show up sharp..

Yes, fair enough.  It sounds like Kincaid didn't reaggravate his array of injuries, so watch for the Bills getting back to 3 TE sets.

I want a fun and good game with no major injuries on either side..  I think the game may come down to whichever OC can make adjustments after the D adjusts to whatever the Os throw at them.. So coaching going be huge IMO.

Who says the Pats are much better than the Bills? Also turning the ball over has been an issue ever since that game for the Bills and the Pats have played better and better on O since then.  Chip on their shoulder? They should be hyper focused because a couple of losses and they may not make the playoffs and IMO this game and the Eagles are the ones that realistically could be L for them. 
 

Also what people are over estimating the Pats? Vegas has them as UNDERDOGS at home. 

There are fans of every team that are unreasonable in their expectations.   The Bills and Patriots are not exempt.  My favorite is Jets fan Jimmy Spagnola who shows up before every season spouting off about how his Jets are going to crush the Bills and win the division.  As long as he's posting I feel comfortable that the Jets are going to fizzle as usual.

Dolphin fans aren’t much better talking about their undefeated season and now how they are going to win out and make the playoffs..  All I know is if my Pats don’t make the SB it better be the Bills because any other AFCE team I could be happy for lol

I feel like we don’t go to boards of other teams mostly because in comparison to here those boards are dead. We also have a lot of knowledgeable fans on this board as well, though we do like everyone who have people talking out their ass as well. 
 

As for the other part, if you tell me I can be the 5 seed with Pittsburgh as the 4 seed  and then my road is a NE/Den team in the divisional round I’ll take my chances. Doesn’t mean Buffalo will win all 3 games either but I like those odds over playing a Houston or Baltimore team or even KC if they squeeze into the 7 seed 

[Governor]

I felt the Bills were pretty pass-happy against Cincy and I expect that to continue, as we start to prepare for what McD wants the team to look like and be able to execute in the playoffs. I see Cook’s carries decreasing a bit for a few games. Lots of Josh this week.

[DuckyBoys]

I expect the Bills to be laser focused this week  They seem to be ill prepared when heavily favored  Almost like they expected to win and are shocked when things go south.  Maye looks like a franchise QB and they don't make a lot of mistakes under Vrabel.   Pats got something going but probably a year or two away .  Fact is this year the AFC is the most open its been and the Bills need to break through  Its now or never for The Beane/McDermott Bills  Just find  a way

This game will determine the final Narrative on the Patriots regular season. If the Bills win , they were pretenders with a 

weak schedule. If they win , they are for real.
