I thought we had the main game for CBS this week?  506 just had it showing regionally

It Is The main game... just ask anyone here. 

 

A 1pm start isn't going to give anyone a national game, it really should have been flexed.

Well CBS has Romo & Nantz on the GB at Den game.  And there’s other games such as Bal/Cin that markets like the one I’m in (Pittsburgh) that have more interest in than the Bills game.

Reminds me also when the Steelers started out 11-0 five years back, only to fall apart down the stretch.

I think they are better than that Steelers team, but yes very similar

Andre jones and Dane Jackson called up.   Not great for hopes on benford or bosa. 

[MasterStrategist]

Dane Jackson and Andre Jones elevated from p/s.

 

Likely means Benford is trending to be out.  Bosa likely on a pitch count.  And good chance Bernard is back.

The Patriots haven't been great running the ball, but have been great moving the ball. The Bills are not going to slow them down. A snow game had me worried but that looks like it'll be over hours before kickoff. NE will score in the 30's.

 

On D they'll focus on Cook and Kincaid, and force Allen to find his WR's. They held Cook to 49 yards the last time and feel they can do it again. Force a few punts and this game will be theirs.

They held Cook to that few yards in part because Brady inexplicably took him out in crunch time. Unilateral disarmament.

Honestly I think Brady had that game right not running cook too much…the ne linebackers are just run stuffers and they’re vulnerable to TEs in the passing game/josh scrambles.  Really isn’t a good matchup for NE imo but if the bills go -2 in turnover differential again they can certainly lose. If they don’t the bills win this one pretty comfortably 

that pats fan poster was like ‘oh we will simply stop the running game and Kincaid’ but what makes them good at slowing down the run hurts them at stopping the bills tight ends.  Really don’t think they’ll be able to do both especially with the injuries and they really didn’t even stop both last time…Kincaid was over 100 yards receiving and Josh ripped off some big runs

Easy peasy. NE will get 30 and force the Bills to punt here and there and it's game over. Probably don't even need to tune in since it's already been decided.

These patriots fans on here are insufferable. Go post on your own boards, I dont need to come to the Bills game week thread to see your silly predictions and trash talk.

It's really obnoxious. Will never understand opposing fans posting on other forums

Agree.  It's one thing to lurk and see what other fans are saying about your team but it just seems rude to actually post on another fan thread.

As much as I hate the queefs, At least I knew and understood they had a good fan base before 2018.

 

the patriots are a different animal. I’ve been around the game watching since 1990 and the funny thing is I had really never seen or heard from a pats ‘fan’ until 2001. Also weird is they totally disappeared from 2020 until this year 

 

insufferable, front running, stupid, fraudulent jerks.  For a town filled with wonderful universities of higher learning, cuisine and culture, it couldn’t be wasted on a bigger bunch of moronic imbeciles.  The city of Boston would be awesome if it weren’t for the people that live there and ruin it.

How does Cook's and Johnson's role in the passing game work in this matchup, do you think? 

[Behindenemylines]

Dear God I pray for a win just to shut up my employees who are Belching non stop about Patriots domination and the second coming of Brady. 
 

it’s insufferable

I'm actually pretty excited about the running game.  Milton Williams being out is huge, and you have 2 starting LB's that are iffy.  The Bills O-line is also back to health.

 

I think the only way NE scores in the 30's is if they get a ST TD - which of course is a possibility.  But I'll be surprised if they go over 20.  The WR room really isn't all that, and the running game isn't great.  They have feasted on some pretty poor teams for the most part.

 

The only edge I give the Pats this week is the bye.  Vrabel has been good out of the bye.
