Can the Bills win the Season Opener? - New England Patriots Forums

I was checking out a Bills Board today and read some posts about how the Bills were going to beat us in the Season Opener.

Now I would love to know what they are smoking in Buffalo since that stuff must be fantastic to think that their team with the Loserman is going to beat us at home.

So, is anybody concerned that the Bills have a legitmate chance to beat us or should I stop wasting my time reading Bills message board posts?

Never treat any game lightly, however common sense tells me that this is their 1st game under a new coach, on the road, against a team superior to them in every facet of the game. Barring them getting a few huge plays, this one won't be close.

I guess you don't recall last year's game at Foxboro where the Bills were leading late in the game and we were lucky to beat them. They should be a little better than last year. Hopefully, we are much better, but taking them lightly is a recipe for disaster.

There is an old saying that starts off, "On any given Sunday..."

Our D was in the crapper at that point in the season and our running game was non-existent, we've certainly improved in those aspects. Plus Holcomb was hitting Moulds all night, and neither will be playing Sept 10th.

The December game is more indicative of what we will see in a couple weeks.

I am a big Pats fan but live in western NY and in fact about 3 miles from Bills summer camp. They in no way stand a chance of even keeping this game close in the opening week.

Unless the Bills bring a time machine and they go back to 1992, they have no chance to win this game. Even if the Pats play mediocre, they will win this game. This is like Florida State opening at home vs. Akron. Deep down, they know it, too.
