Patriots Pregame Thread “We’re onto Buffalo...”

[BaconGrundleCandy]

Lol

What the hell is this?

The whole QB class did stuff like that last year I believe.

 

[Froob]

Tirico! Awesome.

 

[Wax Frog]

Dangerous...

Doubleyou Tee Eff?

Win this game then sit Edelman for Miami.

I don't think we can. Don't we have to win out to keep the #2 seed? The Chiefs have one more loss than us. It's the only thing keeping them from overtaking us for the 2nd seed.

 

[BaconGrundleCandy]

God help us against that defense. That's all I have to say.

They're familiar w us & our stuff.
We've run this before w the RB but I think our RBs tried something else to mess w the hook defender.

Allen looks at the concept on the trips side. Comes back to nub side for Kroft who bangs the corner on the option route I believe against C2. Steelers defenders never switch & carry.



Allen is still very much a work in progress but he's definitely improved & that staff has done a great job helping him. He'll still make a ton of mistakes but so far has bailed himself out w his athleticism & arm.

. Comes back to nub side.

His hand gets dangerously close to the nub side in that GIF

If we can’t beat the Dolphins at home without Edelman we don’t have a prayer in the playoffs.

This is the kind of game that previous championship Pats teams would end up dominating. Anytime those teams went into a "bad matchup", be it a good running team against our bad run D, or a defense built to stop Brady with an offense that's struggling in this case, they would always make a statement. Aside from the big divisional and bye week implications, it would be nice to see a statement win against a current playoff team. I feel like that's what previous SB winning teams did, and it would be a good sign here.

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

Will the game be available for stream on mobile devices at nfl.com or yahoo? I know they do all the games that are on in my area for cbs/nbc/espn/fox but wasn’t sure about nfl network??

 

[RobertWeathers]

I'm not expecting too much out of the offense this weekend. We have our problems but BUF IMO is the 2nd best D in the NFL.

 

[VrabelJr]

Over under on on-field bildos is set at 5.

I'm taking the over but can't help but wonder how those Bills fans are still sneaking them suckers into the stadium

 

[QB12]

Bad match up for NE.

RPO here we go. Allen is mobile and thinks nothing of playing ball carrier. The NE defense can't stop the run anymore.

The Bill's defense is going to give Bailey and Folk lots of work.

Triumph - why the heck are you even on this board? You must be torturing yourself with all your constant negativity. I mean, come on, give it a rest. Take a chill pill.

Oh, and GT^^&&((*&&&&)O.

Yes, as long as KC doesnt lose a game, we have to win out. We do not have to win out to win the division.

 

[WeezyFbaby]

I believe we have the Tie-Breaker regardless if we lose this game

first tie breaker is head to head, if we lose its tied

Second tie breaker is division record, neither teams have lost within the division

Third tie breaker is common opponents, Bills have lost to Browns and Eagles both teams we beat

Am i correct here?

Just a kid having fun. This is one of the most popular dances in the world. What's the confusion?

I was wondering if that was one of the "deep fakes" I've heard so much about.

We need the

Going to bring this up now, so I am on record:

I think the Goodell ordered cheating for KC is tied to affecting seeding. He did this in Denver in 2015 with that phantom push off call on Gronk to get Manning and Denver homefield WHILE ignoring Manning's HGH cheating, covering that up. I think for that to be true, we're going to see officiating shenanigans again this week.

There is nothing Goodell and the NFL would love more than to see NE lose the division and have to go on the road.

Plus, it's a huge help financially to Pegula, a team that hasn't hosted a playoff game since the 1990s.

I hope to be wrong, and if I am, I will admit it. I just cannot understand how you can 3 factually incorrect (by rule), and not even apologize like other teams get.

Meanwhile, he's enabling another attempted "cheating" scandal in the same week. It can't be made up. It just can't.

How is this a bad match up? They've demolished this kid twice already. He doesn't have it, IMO.

He was downplaying the game vs Baltimore in case they lost, too.

He has a very good arm and loves that deep ball. He said he was studying Brady this off-season to work on his mid/short range game, too. It's also they paid too much for Beasley.

That's my lone concern, outside of Gore, is that match up right there, especially with Jon Jones dinged.

You focus on the run, Allen running like you would Mahomes Or Big Ben (it's that consistent set the edge on every down focus, so when he does want to tuck and run you have a spy at LB or with Chung as the Rover coming up the middle to get him), and then you take away the deep section of the field, forcing him underneath. That's it. The gameplan is clear and when BB has a concise, clear approach for his D the results are good.
