One of the best parts of being present for the games. I always found that time passed quickly.

It goes by so quickly. Wish they opened up earlier like other teams.

New England favored by 1.5. Certainly not a shock, but means Buffalo favored on a neutral field. Apparently people don’t fear coming to Foxborough. Time to change that

If the Patriots sweep the Bills for the division in both head to head battles this will be truly a statement win.

A lot of the media are definitely on the fence. They don't take this team seriously yet even with an 11-2 record. It's easy to point to strength of schedule but the Patriots have beaten both the Bad and the Good teams they have faced on this 10 game winning streak.

If we beat the Bills this Sunday that pretty much seals the division title and that means huge bragging rights. Let's get it done Pats!

One thing the Bills always have done that the Patriots should do: open the fieldhouse to fans pregame.

Patriots have bragging rights regardless. Even if Buffalo took the division, yet lost as per usual in January, what changes? I don't think history remembers division champions over actual titles.

One team has 6 SB titles in 11 trips. The other has 4 straight SB losses.

The Bills only get bragging rights once they are holding a lombardi. And it's definitely not happening this season. Regardless of Sunday's result.

In the future, I want to see how he responds if the team is down by two or three scores. That is a huge test to becoming an elite QB. Would he press and make mistakes? Stay calm and keep the team in the game?

Fair point. We know Maye can at times press a bit & have the occasional bad turnover. However, he’s young..still growing into the position & deciphering defensive schemes. He’ll get better at that with experience & hopefully eliminate bad possessions. What we do know, is that he’s always stoic & composed no matter the situation. I have faith that he can dig us out of a hole if necessary; especially with JMD in his ear.

Hopefully we won’t have to find out this year

Analysts are picking Buffalo because of Josh Allen. And because they are "desperate". Does desperation mean bad receivers will suddenly get open? The OC stops calling dumb play calls? The bad run defense suddenly gets better? They lost to Miami & Atlanta on the road. They would have lost to a bad Bengals team sans a miracle. Josh Allen was present for all of these games.

Media seems to be making the Bills out to be some sort of elite team. They aren't. They have a great QB/RB. They lack at HC imo. The Patriots might get beat. But it won't be because the Bills are a juggernaut.

And Pats haven't played for a week, which in the NFL is like 3 years ago.

Hope Landry is good to go.

I can immediately think of ten games a Brady led Patriots team overcame a two or three score deficit to win.

Point being, that is one reason Brady was an elite Quarterback. The pressure never got to him. Maye is/nor will be a Tom Brady type QB. But being elite is how you perform when things look bleak.

The test will come eventually. Hopefully not in 2025.

I don’t get the Landry deal, hasn’t missed a game all year while playing injured, gets a week off and now isn’t looking like a go on Sunday? Hopefully it was just a rest day and he’s back tomorrow at practice.

Ponder has been OK. If Landry needs rest let's hope he takes it after the Ravens game.

Feels like McDermott will sit some of these injured guys like Benford and Bosa with the playoffs approaching. This isn't a one game winner takes the division deal, there's 4 games left and even if the Bills win this one the chances they'll steal the division from the Pats are still a lot less than 50%.
