Let's move from last night's game here, and focus on what's ahead. Does anyone know the extent of Spiller's injury??

Spiller suffered a sprained AC joint and out for 2 weeks

Fred Jackson is expected to have a good chance to play this week,amazing recovery considering his injury

Really?? I thought it was a 4-6 week injury. He may not be able to perform at 100%, though.

One thing lost in the commentary about last night's game which should be noted is the improving connections between Brady and Lloyd last night which is promising. Let's see if it continues against the Bills.

That's something worth note. Brady was for the most part, in sync most of the game, especially with Welker and Lloyd. He played much better than he did in the AFCCG.

I would assume if Fred does play,it will be sparingly and slowly get him back in condition for much more carries into the fall.

Expect Tashard Choice to be the featured back,he had a nice 130 yard game yesterday.

Loved the passes to Lloyd and loved his acrobatic catches even more. That guy is amazing.

Hope to see more Gronk this week.

It was nice to see Lloyd getting some catches, and some nice ones at that. Hopefully just a beginning. Seems to have a niche catching those sideline passes, though would like to see him add to the repertoire. His YAC total must be pretty low. Few downfield passes would help.

 

[UWHuskies]

Not only are we moving on but we will have no problems making the playoffs like some overreacters would have us believe. I was just thinking about how many good AFC teams there are this year, what is it 3? Maybe 4? Then look at the NFC, the NFC is loaded!

In the AFC there is the Texans, Ravens, Patriots then somewhere down the line the Broncos, Chargers and maaaybe Steelers. There is no way the Patriots aren't going to the playoffs and this team is a lot better than they are getting credit for.

 

[Brady_to_Moss]

Jackson won't be 100% and i agree..lloyd and brady are getting good. He makes great catches.

Anyone have this stat..last time pats lose 3 in a row?

And on a scale of 1-10..how nervous are you guys? I am at a 5. If they lose this..we are in trouble...

hes not really a YAC receiver. doesnt really have burner speed. but he does have good instincts and body control, which make him a very solid outside receiver, even if hes not a catch and run kinda guy.

will be interesing to see the line against mario williams and mark anderson.

will also be interesting to see our secondary against a guy like fitzpatrick that basically gift wraps INT's for other teams.

perfect game to boost a guy like mccourty's confidence...and maybe check out dowling (assuming hes healthy).

lloyd can still burn people still pretty fast


how many sacks do the bills have this year?

 

[UWHuskies]

Even if we lose to the Bills I think we will be alright, but the chances of that are slim.

 

[SVN]

Expect as hard a game as any. Bills know this game win will make them 3-1 with a 2.5 game lead on the pats . Seeing how our secondary got shredded last nite, fitzpatrick may have those games like last yr . And they are home. Pats being 1-3 is really scary.

Lloyd makes even the easy catches circus like, thats why he is never on his feet for YAC. I think he uses his body to catch and secure the ball more than say moss but then he is randy moss.
On nervous iam at 8-9.

 

[Fball]

Bills have the best O-line they've had in ages, which is why Spiller was leading the league, and why Choice was blowing through holes when he played on Sunday. Gailey actually hasn't ruled out Spiller for Sunday, and Jackson will almost definitely play.

It's a fairly historic opportunity for the Bills, considering that they could come out of the game at 3-1 and the Pats at 1-3.

 

[RIpats88]

honestly, im not really nervous for some reason...I just feel whenever this team seems to go through a couple losses them seem to follow that by just going on a huge run of wins

Like last year I think the Pats lost to the Bills and then the steelers the following week and the board was a mess...then they went on a run of something like 10straight games.

I could see that starting here...the offense seems to be back in sync abit..and if the defense can rebound to how they played week 1 and 2 we could start something

 

[nekromantique]

how many sacks do the bills have this year?

if the espn sats i read are correct they have 9, while allowing 1.

 

[Fball]

if the espn sats i read are correct (and i read it right) they only have 1, while allowing 9.

however, williams and anderson are still solid rushers, so i dont really read too much into that.

i wouldnt mind seeing the pats experiment with cannon at RG and connolly at C to see how that goes...but they wont...they seem intent on cannon being an RT.

The Bills haven't allowed a single sack this year, and have at least 6 QB sacks.

 

[UWHuskies]

The Bills also played 1 mediocre team and 2 awful teams so those stats are skewed IMO.
