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

[SVN]

The Bills are 30th against the run, we need to feed Henderson as much as possible. Even thought statistically the Bills have the #1 passing defense averaging (163 yards per game) we threw on them in week 5 for 273 yards. The Bengals threw on them for 284 yards, they are the only team to put more passing yards on them then the Pats. I think we are a lot better now then week 5 and will present more problems for them. We spread the ball around too much for them to shut down our passing game. If we can make them respect the run and not sell out on the pass I think we out score them.

Our running game is really bad.

Sounds like DeH SkEduuL should be MVP this year instead of Maye.

I wonder if they know about the $50M+ cap room the Pats have this offseason. NE will be an attractive place for FA's to sign now that we appear to have our QB and HC. We can take on any schedule.

The Bills have played virtually the same schedule with the exception of 3 games. How's that going for them?

Those 'huge' KC and Baltimore wins at home are looking worse and worse today - a couple of six-seven teams they beat in shootouts. Yay.

It's better than you think.

It has never been consistent this season, but we have seen moments when it looked effective. I think a heavy dose of Henderson using that speed and some new designed plays for the run game rather than the typical up the gut that we seem to do more often than not would go a long ways in this game.

Henderson barely played in the first matchup.
He's the lead back now.

Did you on purpose just drop 6-7?????

Of course. Anything to piss off the boomers.

They have riipped of long runs at times which show we had a 100 yard game or average 4 odd yards but remove those 1 or 2 long runs, they have not been able to run the ball consistently. A direct result is our RZ struggles . A good running team can run in the redzone in short yardage. We dont. Vs the bengals we had 8 or 10 plays inside the 5 . couldnt punch it in. not having tonga actually shows how much they need an addtional DT to push the pile.

I didn't say it was good. I said it's better than you think, and it is. It's not 'terrible'. You'll be surprised about how much better they look on Sunday, I'm sure of it, especially if the Bills continue having to commit 8 and 9 guys to the run like they've done every week for the last month.

If it helps, my 13 year old daughter rolls her eyes when she hears it. Of course, that’s because she hears it from me and it’s lame when an adult (or “adult” in my case) brings it up….

NFL refuses to flex this game. What a joke!

Hey, it’s only been 4 days since the 6-6-1 Cowboys had a night game. They’ve earned that SNF game this week against the 5-8 Vikings.

Honestly it's lame for them too, because it means nothing, but they keep saying it solely because it pisses people off - and that warms the ****les of my cold, dead, GenX heart.

Fixed it for you.

My Father was a gambling Man.

Obviously. Ill-timed pullout and here you are.

Nothing will surprise me this game. Bills are a damn good team and Josh Allen is one of those guys who can cause you to throw out all your schemes and match ups. Cause he can just pull a rabbit completely out of his ass. Bills are a super bowl contender and if they won it all this year it should surprise no one.

I like the Pats at home. But it will be hard to beat the Bills twice in one year and that is probably what Vegas is counting on. Cause the Bills have more things they can fix and change than the Pats. It is easier to fix things that didn't work when you have failures as an example than find ways to do new things that work from scratch (which is what the Pats have to do... cause they can't just run out the exact same game plan again). This is part of what Vegas is considering i think.

All i will say is this. I don't like the Pats in a shoot out. if the Defense has a game all the sudden where they just let it get away from them. That favors the Bills massively even if the Pats offense comes to play as well. The higher scoring the game, the more i think that works in the Bills favor. The less points scored the better i feel about the Patriots. If 50 or less points are scored, i like the Pats. If over 50 i start liking the Bills more as it goes up. If over 60 Bills win is very likely. If 45 or under that is 100% a Patriots win IMO.

I mean…our schedule is a cakewalk this season and next year will be a gauntlet. Even before the season started it was hard to see an easier schedule on paper. That’s fine you fight who is in the ring, but we have had it easy this year.

Several people ridiculed me for saying I hoped the Bills beat the Bengals.

On Bills Radio right now, they are talking about NOT rushing their injured players back for this game because the chances of winning the division for Buffalo at this point is 15%. It is much more important to have those players back healthy for the final stretch run.

It doesn't mean the Bills will not do everything to win the game, but it does mean they are 9-4 and not 8-5 in a do-or-die situation, all hands on deck.

This is NOT an all-hands-all-deck situation for Buffalo.

I knew they weren't going to boot the Cowboys, but it should be a MNF game.
