Game week thread - Bills at Patriots*

[Wizard]

Make Maye Uncomfortable.

 

Don't let them score on their first possession.

 

Bills need to score on first possession.

[TFBillsfan]

Tackle, force Maye to his left, get out of the soft zone and execute our offense without turning the ball over. 

[ScottishBills]

Getting TJ Sanders and Javon Solomon steaming in off the edges to take down Drake Maye mercilessly over and over again 🤬🤬🔥🔥💪💪

[MikePJ76]

That is all that matters.

If these guys are central to our gameplan, we're cooked.

[thronethinker]

Just take what they give us. Last game Buffalo was completely unprepared and it showed. If they can limit the mental errors they should win. 

[DapperCam]

Don’t put the ball on the ground. Hope the refs don’t decide to screw us for an entire half.

[Coffeesforclosers]

Is the ref's last name Hochuli?

[BuffaloBillyG]

Hire Tonya Harding to whack Diggs in the leg with a pipe the night before the game

The number one key. It really is simple.

How about being aggressive from the start and not being afraid to send pressure early,  do not allow the Pats to dink and dunk up and down the field while chewing up clock. Don't put themselves in trailing situation,  playing against a young QB on the road they need to get shots/hits and sacks on him early sand get him off his game

[Psautcsk]

Cover Diggs

[JP51]

Win the turnover battle decisively,  tackle, pressure.

[phxbacker]

Pressure Maye and flip the turnover script.

[Blackbeard]

Don't turn the ball over 3 times like last game.

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.

A team that has 2-3 tight ends that can catch the football should be a nightmare for the pats on paper…we’ll see what happens in reality though lol.  Their linebackers are just classic old school thumpers that stuff the run and rush the passer and can’t cover at all then they rely on safeties to do everything else 

 

Josh scrambles and Kincaid hurt them bad last game and I’d expect that to happen again.  Really should’ve won that game last time… it felt a bit fluky to me.  Football gods paying us back for the ravens win 😂

Sorry, I don't buy the hype with NE. 

 

This week they get told "not yet" by the true contenders. Cute story though.

What's suppose to change? 

 

This isn't Vrabel as a first time head coach. They have a solid coaching staffing, cap space, the draft and free agency, plus a QB with a ton of potential to entice other free agency. All of that has to factor into next year too.

The general caliber of their opponents should increase.

 

Edit: Hoping we take advantage of their RBs’ tendency to put the ball on the ground.
