Bills should honestly be like 8-6 Lol

I hear ya but I don't get caught up in that woulda-shoulda-coulda stuff. They lost that game b/c a JAG WR didn't catch the ball. That happens frequently on teams that lose.

I will also be there with a contingent of 10.

Buffalo's lost so many close games and won 4 out of their last 6. Dangerous road game. Still, I hope to see us bounce back from an average performance against GB. Seems like a game BB will treat like a loss and challenge the guys to make a statement this week.

BJGE has done very well against Buffalo and obviously so has Brady. Our DL injuries are a concern again but I think the front 7 bounces back. If not, we can outgun them. If we found a way to beat a very good Packer team we'll find a way to beat this team. But I'm hoping our boys make a statement here.

Two good things in Buffalo
Wings
A Patriots victory

One bad thing in Buffalo
Everything else

As for the Bills, it is worth nothing that they've had quite a few one score losses against winning teams.

Steelers: 3 points
Ravens: 3 points
Bears: 3 points
Chiefs: 3 points
Patriots: 8 points

...but also worth noting they wore blown out by the Tavaris Jackson led Vikings just 3 weeks ago.

They also rank dead last (158.6 YPG) in the NFL in rush defense. I look for BJGE to have yet another big game against them.

.....and more importantly, the Patriots flat out have the Bill's number. I think it goes all the way back to the 2003 opener when the Bills last beat the Pats.

I went to a Pats game in Buffalo a few years ago. It was a lot of fun. Their stadium is just like the old Fox (metal benches & all) and even more in the middle of nowhere, if that is possible. The restaurants were good, the people friendly and I kind of liked the town, in a retro kind of way. Plus, there were lots of Pats fans there for the game (apparently a regular occurence), so the vibe was good.

I think we'll win, but I thought we'd win this week easily, and that didn't turn out so well. With what are we going to replace Moss's three TDs in week 3?

Buffalo is a very good football team, somehow, I'm not really sure how.

Teams that Buffalo lost to within one score:
Dolphins
Patriots
Ravens
Chiefs
Bears
Lions
Steelers

They've only lost one game by more than 3 pts in the last 9 games (winning 4 of those games).

This is the biggest game of the year because the Patriots are playing for the biggest prize (#1 seed). Good stuff!
