Bills game

[RobertWeathers]

Gillislee facing his old team with fresh legs...could have a monster day.

...or he could do nothing.

Gillislee and Lewis are the only healthy RBs, so he will get opportunities.

 

[Bill Lee]

The Bills are soft, they won't do ****, and will roll over for the Patriots.

Kinda reminds me of Jay Cutler sucks, the Fish have packed it in, and will roll over for the Patriots.

Gillislee's worst performance with the Pats was week-3 v. HOU:
... 12/31 ... 2.58 ypa ... 0 TD

His best total yardage was week-2 @NOL:
... 18/69 ... 3.83 ypa ... 1 TD

His best ypa was week-6 @NYJ:
... 10/44 ... 4.40 ypa (his 12/52 ... 4.33 ypa performance @TBY in week-5 is second)

I'd guess that Gillislee ends up closer to his week-2 performance than his week-3 performance.
... More practice with the team
... OL run-blocking has improved since his last carry way back in week-8
... relatively weak run-D by BUF.

The Bills are in the play off hunt so are going to give it 100%. Much harder for us than Pitt playing the Texans.

However it is a game we SHOULD win so lets start fast and remind them that we are better than the...don't let them have any hope.

I think he'll get some carries but have no idea how well he'll do.

My gut tells me he'll be average

Yikes. Hope he can give it a go. Had a good game against the squealers.

red is Pats-Bills
CBS game



red Buffalo @ New England Jim Nantz, Tony Romo
blue LA Chargers @ NY Jets Ian Eagle, Dan Fouts
green Miami @ Kansas City Kevin Harlan, Rich Gannon
yellow Denver @ Washington Spero Dedes, Adam Archuleta
brown Cleveland @ Chicago Tom McCarthy, Steve Beuerlein
turquoise Jacksonville @ San Francisco (LATE) Andrew Catalon, James Lofton

Somebody should investigate CBS for discriminating against brown people who get the Cleveland - Chicago game. The fireplace video on Netflix will get higher ratings.

Oh my God...Imagine if we somehow psychically channeled our collective mentality every week into that of the Players on the Field?? Horrors.

I can see it now: First play from scrimmage. Patriots on Offense. Incomplete pass.

Half the players on the sideline ~ and on the field ~ throw their hands up in disgust.

Gronkowski: "Brady sucks!!"

White: "WTF was that???"

McCourty: "Fire McDaniels!!"

Belichick: "This team is screwed."

Well that pretty much takes the suspense out of what the people on the game thread will say.

We will win it, if nothing major happens and we don't have a brainfart on offense. What I've been seeing on a consistent basis is the failure of Tyrod Taylor to wrap his mind around that the fact that in the Patriots, he is playing a sophisticated defense.

For example, we can send a DB in motion to cover their man in motion and still remain in zone. I remember one instance where we morphed from a presnap cover 1 motion, to a cover 2 after the snap and Tyrod was running around, locked in the mindset that he was facing a man to man. He just couldn't respond appropriately.

I suspect he just has this inability to process and respond to a post-snap defensive adjustment. I would not be surprised, if after this season, the Bills decide to move on from him.

The Bills "decided" that after last season. And the season before that, IIRC.

It's like he's stuck to the bottom of their shoe.

It's just a big mess- their quarterback situation. Peterman is a pretty promising QB from what I can see, and they just threw him to the sharks. I thought he bounced back from that debacle pretty good because he tried to make some ballsy throws against us.

But I think you're right- Bills being Bills, they'll just find a way to screw it all up. McDermott and the FO are not on the same page, IMO, and I think there is pressure on McDermott, from on high, to keep working with Taylor to justify the idiotic contract they signed him to.

What the Bills FO did with Taylor's contract has to be among the worst contract decisions any team has ever made. They signed him in 2015 for 3 years at $1.1M/year. Then, after going 8-8, they extend him to five years for $90M?

At least they re-structured him this past March to give themselves a reasonable out in 2018 with a post-June 1st cut.

Why does it seem like every week our opponent has 1 or 2 JAGs on their injury report while we have like 40-50 players listed as questionable?
