Patriots Pregame Thread Bills - Pats line (Patriots vs Bills Pregame Thread)

It sure looked like Bills holding in the EZ on that TD.

Bengals had a comfortable lead... took 2 Burrow INTS in order for them to get back in the game.. won't be easy.. but i think we win.. 27-20...

Burrow was dicing up the bills secondary.. IN THE SNOW..... IDK man.. I still think the formula is slow cook.. I doubt we give up 40 yard scramble for a TD by Allen like Bengals did.. Bengals offense is the real deal.. thier defense still sucks..

Patriots 27
Bills 20

Don't forget the Bengals were in position to win yesterday until two stupid throws from Burrow. The pick six was far more on Burrow than a great play by Benford (although Benford deserves credit for making a great play). Burrow never saw Benford coming in unblock in position to jump the pass and threw an easy lob to Chase. That play doesn't happen and I think the Bengals hold on to win.



Even the second pick is on Burrow. He threw it right into the passing lane where the Bills' defender already had his hand up in the air to block the pass. It wasn't like the Bills defender just got his hand up at the right moment.



I am sorry, but I think the Pats win that game yesterday. I don't see Maye making either of these throws. I am actually kinda shocked that Burrow made these throws because they are un-Burrow like throws.

Well, it was a 3 point game when Burrow got picked the first time. But the Bengals had the ball with 5 minutes left and the Bills were struggling to stop the Bengals from at least driving the ball and the Bengals were in field goal range. Odds were good the Bengals win if they didn't turnover the ball twice in a minute forty.

Exactly correct. That's why I mentioned it took 2 Burrow turnovers on back to back offensive possession for Buffalo to get back in the game.. and I also agree with you that Drake doesn't make those stupid throws.. and the defense doesn't fall asleep and let Allen scramble for 40 yards into the end zone..

If the Bengals just caught the 2 pickable balls Allen threw the game is different also.
Allen will throw a bad pass or 2 and when he does then Pats will need to catch them.

Agreed. That's always been part of Allen's game.. he'll always give the defense an opportunity or 2 a game.. have to wonder.. Allen is exerting alot just to put his team in positions to win.. Buffalo defense will ultimately be thier downfall.

My Father was a gambling Man.

Poker which he did extremely well at and the Horses. Some Pro sports betting too, but he always said that in these big games side with the better QB. Of course, that is never guaranteed.

It is amazing how accurate Vegas is.

Watch out for the House of the rising sun.

The big difference between Burrow and Maye is that Joe is clearly and painfully aware of his celebrity, and plays like he's trying to pose for his HOF video montage. Meaning, he cares so much about his image and legacy, and it seems like he thinks about the "matchups" with playing Allen or Mahomes. I think Maye is in such a better situation with coaches like Vrabel & JMD - who played with or managed with the GOATs, and don't give a sh*t. It's like Mahomes last night - trying to be a hero all the time, and prove things about legacy. Let's just go play the opponent, and I love that Maye seems very grounded and humble - also youth helps him not over-analyze each matchup in terms of career comparisons. That had a ton to do with Burrow's performance in the 4th qtr.

KC looks out of the way for Buffalo this post season. So, Allen will put the Bills on his back and go all out.

Yeah: at least Two TD's went through Bengals Defenders one in triple coverage: I did this after those plays.

I’m pretty sure this is only gonna be the second of the three times these teams meet this year.

I'm sure Bilbo's see that as a silver lining. But I'm sure Maye and the Pats thinks otherwise.

Pats are overdue for a slip up/dud game
Bills have momentum coming off the Bengals win
Hard to sweep any division opponent, let alone one with what many consider the best QB in the NFL
Sometimes teams come out slow/struggle coming off a bye week (yes, I'm aware of Vrabel's stellar record in this situation)

I have the Pats losing this one in a close game. Some will say this makes me a "FaKe FaN"... whatever. Hope to be pleasantly surprised.

Spillane or Elliss two very good LBs would have caught that pass.. Burrow deserves a much better defense..

Bills played some Tough tiring games and we are well rested. Our Defense is not on Houston's or the Broncos level. But we sure as hell ain't like Cincinnati. The Bills Defense is not very good Maye should feast intermediate and Deep.

By the way: Stefon Diggs have circled this game like he did our First Meeting.

Agreed. And this is a game where we want get back for the last few years of butt whipping the bills have done to us.. remember that 47-17 play off drubbing...

Here's what I'll say.. the have had games where mistakes were made and slow starts... this season. In game adjustments were made and they were able to win.. I don't forsee them having any "naps" like Vrabel said especially knowing the division is in hand with a win.. we all know Josh Allen is a phenomenal QB.. but... I have the Pats 27-20...

Who can forget... that team looked like they didn't even want to get off the airplane.. was like single digits wasn't it?
