Poeticlaw Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Not to be a downer, but how many points did Buffalo score in that game? It was a cold weather windy day which is not trents specialty. We are a feild goal team that lost a field goal or 2 We would have atleast scored 3 if they line lined up before the half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poeticlaw Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 True Belichick can coach yea we knowBut for the first half maybe we have an edge Plus Brady might....just might be rusty because I doubt he will play much at all in the preseason Like I said I would rather play Brady early than later in the season Hell by the time we played NE last year Cassel was ready . Dont know if he would have played as well against us early in the season Plus IF the game is in Buffalo the crowd will be on the hope train and it will be crazy hyped for the first game We played him early the worse I have ever seen NE play against us then only problem was we were worse then them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chandler#81 Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 http://www.patsfans.com/new-england-patrio...s-vs-bills.html IN BUFFALO! Link posted doesn't mention where. Pats* fans dispute one of their posters claim as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayzer32 Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Good points, Buf-c. Although, if given a choice, I'd rather the Bills play NE* after Brady goes down again, in 2009. Although, the Bills being the team that takes Brady down for the rest of 2009 would be a victory in my eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JÂy RÛßeÒ Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 He's just guessing! U2 is playing on Sunday September 20 (week 2) at Gillette Stadium so unless they start with 2 road games, this one is at New England. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayzer32 Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 U2 is playing on Sunday September 20 (week 2) at Gillette Stadium so unless they start with 2 road games, this one is at New England. As he does with the NFL, I'm sure Bob Kraft could pay off Bono to change their date if it was going to benefit his team by not having to play, God forbid, two straight road games.

EndZoneCrew Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 U2 is playing on Sunday September 20 (week 2) at Gillette Stadium so unless they start with 2 road games, this one is at New England. The Bills started on the road for the first 2 games about 3-4 years ago...I believe it was the Jets we played in week 3 as our home opener!

FluffHead Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 U2 is playing on Sunday September 20 (week 2) at Gillette Stadium so unless they start with 2 road games, this one is at New England. but that concert is on sunday, this game would be on monday. Not sure if they really want two huge events on back to back days, but it could be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QB Bills Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 My point is more or less that this will be Brady's first game back so everything else will be secondary. It seems to always be the Bills who get to be the opponent for the Pats ball washing parties. Remember Bruschi's comeback game? Marshawn being suspended is just another plus for the Pats*. A better storyline would have been Bills/Cowboys. I think your helmet is on too tight. The Bills don't play the Cowboys this year, and that is not a conspiracy...it's the way the schedule is set up. And it isn't being set up to give the Pats an advantage against the Bills. In case you haven't noticed, they haven't really needed it lately. As for the commentators, Jaworski is a bills fan, and Tirico and Kornheiser have given no indication of NE 'ball washing' and in the last two monday nighters at Buffalo have actually praised the Bills more than the opponent. I actually like that broadcasting team, not sure why people don't. You're thinking of Joe Theismann verbally fellating Bruschi. He's doesn't do those games anymore. I think this is great news. Sure the Bills usually stink it up in primetime, but they've been doing that a lot no matter what time they play. The atmosphere and excitement ratchets up quite a bit when you're playing on monday night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dean Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 but that concert is on sunday, this game would be on monday. Not sure if they really want two huge events on back to back days, but it could be done. The Bills/Pats* game is week #1. His point is, if it is in Buffalo, then we know that they aren't playing on Monday again in wk #2, so that would have to be a road game, too.

TheKickIsGood Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 With U2 in Gillette Stadium for NFL Week 2, its unlikely (although not impossible) that the Patriots open with 2 road games. http://360.u2.com/ LISTEN TO BRAD RITER M-F 4-7PM on weck1230.com or 1230 AM.

Chandler#81 Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 In the other thread about the game -by a Pats* troll- the link says both teams will wear throwbacks. If that's the case, then I think it will be in Buffalo as we don't have an away throwback- with the different arm stripe widths. Can't believe they'll start a new trend where both teams wear colored jerseys, though who owns a B&W TV anymore.. If the Bills are away and wearing away-whites, I want one!!

Why can't the Pats play 2 on the road to start the season, heck their week 2 game might be a travel to another country game as well, like SD did.

LabattBlue Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 I sure hope Oman is ready to spell Jackson this year, otherwise Freddy is gonna get tired... Why is that? Jackson is not capable of carrying the ball 20+ times in a game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leonidas Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Why is that? Jackson is not capable of carrying the ball 20+ times in a game? No, rather when he needs a breather I'd prefer not to have a RB in there as a decoy. If Oman isn't a serious threat to run it when he spells Jackson the secondary can lock on the WR's and the DE's/OLB's can pin their ears back and come after Trent without having to worry about a draw or something to that effect.
