Re: PATs Red zone: 1 for 5 - anyone concerned?

could be looking at 3 losses by the time they meet the Bills and the Bills
may have only 1 loss at that time.
The one advantage PATs have is Miami and a Bye week. When they hit
the 9ers after the bye that Red Zone offense needs be a lot better.
Some of the better teams are like 60% to 70% efficient in the Red zone.
Denver is like over 80% i think. Bills are very good in the Red zone.
I am sure BB will stress it but he needs the players to execute
correctly in the Red Zone.

Yes the Bills are playing well and look good, but:
- Seattle is a "damaged" team trying to find an effective run game and losing WRs left and right. They also are a notoriously shaky road team.
- Jacksonville is a "damaged" team who lost 4 of the 9 OL they kept to start the season and uses Matt Jones as their #1 WR. Despite that advantage, Buffalo won by four points.
The schedule and Tommy going out in the 1st quarter of the 1st game is working to the Pats advantage to "develop" Matt slowly without asking him to carry the team. So far, so good. Buffalo is a bridge to be crossed later...after all, how many pundits wrote the Jester's victory headlines before the game?
