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

[Sect140]

I don't love him doubling down on this nonsense. This isn't Indianapolis. I guess whatever works to get the players motivated. This is a regular season game that means very little. I'd rather lose now and beat them in the playoffs, if I had to choose one.

Means very little? If they win the game they win the division host at least one playoff game and stay in contention for the #1 seed.

 

[Sect140]

Why? Speaking as someone who will be sitting in it for three hours and walking 30 min. each way to/from the stadium, a modicum of compassion would be appreciated.

Also 4.5 hours of tailgating.

 

[Sect140]

This will be the coldest game of Mays career.

As of now temperature is forecasted of a high as 32 degrees, the Giants game on Monday was 27 degrees at kickoff.

 

[Sect140]

I prefer sitting in the snow rather than that 35 degree rain crap.

To me the worst weather is rain, especially cold rain.

Yeah, I don't mind the rain, don't really mind the cold. But mix them together? Yeah...thats the most miserable you can really be.

 

[Huckleberry1]

The Bills and their fans can make as many excuses as they want, and play act how ****y they are, but deep down they lnow this one basic truth


The Patriots are back, and they aren't going away. for the rest of Josh Allen's career.

 

[TommyD4207]

Vrabel went to Volin intentionally. He's really the whole package.

 

[WhatJustHappened]

What I personally think (not that it makes 1 fkn difference), is this Pats team is pretty fkn good, they aren't enamored with ANYONE, they feel they can beat anyone's ass at any time.
Which is EXACTLY how they should feel.
I've been over there, and read all the stuff.
I'm not worried, Josh is going to have to be a fkn hero to win this game.
I took the Pats in Pickem, without much worry.

LFG Boyz!

They don't get in if Houston and the Chargers have a better record.

that makes 7

Vrabes intends to win every game and coaches that way.

Same as when he played and won 3 Super Bowls. There is no guarantee that the Bills and Pats will play 3 times this season.

L Jackson and P Mahomes do not look the same. Both beaten up after 10 years. Maye running more is not the solution if you want him around for the long term.

Maye is built more like Josh Allen, who's been around just as long as both of the others and is still doing well enough.

 

[captain stone]

Ben Trolin' ****ing Sucks. What a ****ing dumb-ass "question" that is.

 

[One-If-By-Sea]

Maye is built more like Josh Allen, who's been around just as long as both of the others and is still doing well enough.

More like J Allen, but not like J Allen. When Maye was running a bit last year he quickly got his "bell rung" on a few occasions. J Allen is a beast, Maye is not a beast. I think Maye is a better thrower of the ball than J Allen, and will develop to read defenses and process better than J Allen. But Maye is not built to get hit a lot.

This is what I would have said if Volin had asked me that question.

"Ben, you salacious liar".

"whatever the odds are don't mean a thing to us. It doesn't change our preparation. I doesn't change our game plan. It won't change our mind set. All we can do this week is go 1-0, learn from the mistakes we make and then get ready for the next week and try to get better for the next week. That is what an NFL season is all about. It is a grind where you work your ass off and hope for a few hours of joy when you win, before you have to go back to that grind and do it again."
[
"We've had a LOT of those few hours a week, Ben, you loathsome individual, the players have certainly made this season a lot more enjoyable than the ones this team has gone through the last couple of years. Fortunately, we are not even close to being the team we feel can eventually be. We are now playing December football and every game's importance is magnified even more and what we have done the last 3 months won't mean much if you don't rise to the occasion these last 4 weeks.

So Ben.......God you creep me out, I don't care if the odds makers don't believe in us. I don't care if the media feels we lucked into our 11-2 record. I ONLY care about the people we have in our building and it's my job to have them ready at 1pm on Sunday. See you then.'

I never understood why people got upset when the media or other fans "disrespected" us. WHO CARES! Rodney is right, we should embrace being the underdog, we should DEMAND being the underdog in every game. Maye should be saying at his pressers. "When I go back and look at the film, I cannot believe how badly I played. GOD, all the mistakes sometimes overwhelm me, and Josh has to take time out and ground me. Everyy game I'm hoping I can earn the trust of my teammates and sometimes I wonder...."

Ok coaches....time is here, need a great game plan and execution....man it's been a minute since we seen a hat and t-shirt game. Let's go!!

Incredible insight and analysis! An invaluable contribution to pregame deliberations!

 

[Triumph]

We will likely see 1 Allen INT and 1 Allen fumble.

As Allen tries to be Superman and do more and more the mistakes typically rear their ugly head.

In 1 INT and 1 Fumble games this season the Bills are 0 - 2.- @ Miami and NE. Allen has not fumbled in the last 4 games, so he is due.

 

[Betterthanmost]

Smart money is on Patriots. Emotional money pouring in on Bills. Let’s see how it goes.

 

[Nunchucks]

When I watched the Bengals defense go up against Josh Allen, they continued to make the same mistake over and over again. They would have Allen dead to rights, Allen would scramble and pump fake. This caused the Bengals defender to commit to a jump or lean one way or the other. This allowed Allen to juke and run or juke and then scramble a bit more and then throw.

This was almost the entire offense of the Bills.

The key to this game is for the defense to not fall for the pump fakes and keep their balance while rushing Allen. Don't jump!

If they can do that, they will win the game.

You forgot one additional thing;

Then bury a shoulder pad into his chest if he still has ball or is w/in <1 sec of [after] throwing it.

Make him think twice about next fake throw-juke.
