I understand why the Patriots and their coaches are heaping praise and "respect" onto Buffalo this past week. Coach Bill reminds us how the Bills could be 7-2 but for some late game antics. But the real story is simple, and leads to the obvious conclusion that the Patriots will crush the Bills Sunday, whether they play in Buffalo or on the Moon. The big "winning streak" that Buffalo has been on is composed of victories against the following NFL heavyweights: the Baltimore Ravens, New Jersey Jets, Cincinnati Bengals, and Miami Dolphis, teams with a combined record of 8 wins and 28 losses (28.5 winning percentage). There is no analysis that needs to be given here, no pretend resurrection of the Bills. They have a good head coach, and some players, but they will be absolutely destroyed by the Patriots, and we don't need to build this game up any more than these basic numbers attest. If the Patriots' bus makes it to Buffalo, then they will crush the Bills.
And, unfortunately for Buffalo, while their ST are very good ours are just barely below them. Using Football Outsiders for a one stat overall look, Buffalo is 4th in the league in ST at 6.7% above league average; we're 5th at 6.3% above league average.About the only area I can see the Bills excelling is special teams. They are one of the best teams in the league in this area. In fact, their play in this area is a very large reason why they have won as they have.
