Game Day Thread Official Game Day Thread- Bills @ Pats

[Wax Frog]

Let the !!!!!!! begin!

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

Glad to have a 1 pm game again finally. Hate waiting till 8 pm , the whole day im just pulling hair out

 

[RobertWeathers]

I honestly can’t tell what you mean by this.

Seismic shifts in momentum. Lots of mistakes. Tightly contested. Crazy 2nd 1/2. Game comes down to the final play.

 

[Love The Drake]

I’ll be yelling my head off when the Bills offense is on the field.
We need Christmas presents from Allen to win this one.
We can’t allow the run to be successful and can’t allow Allen to get out on the pocket.

Gap discipline is huge I am looking at Uche and Wino here.
Can’t allow Allen to extend drives with his feet.
A breakout game for Harry or Wilkerson would be perfect timing on offense.
We saw that Buff was able to solve the gashing we have them but not til the game was out of hand.
They will be expecting a huge dose of the run game but I think we switch it up on them and have Mac throw 40 times.
Should be a very exciting game and I am just going to enjoy the experience.

If you're watching from home that would be hysterical

I don’t see neither Uche, nor Wino getting many snaps today.

this would be suspicious against a pass heavy offense and a qb who can scramble outside the pocket we could use speed. also Wise out

 

[FCB02062]

I don't think we'll see much change from the last several games offensively - conservative, conservative, conservative. no shots downfield, run, run, run with backs, receivers, jonnu smith. maybe we see a return to the trick plays to get some plays downfield.
Coach Bill is hanging his hat on the defense this season and counting on them to hold teams to 20 or less so his magic offensive combination of 2 touchdowns and 3 FG can win games.
Yes, I'm concerned about the potential for Judon overpursuit and Allen rolling out and hitting many plays downfield....
Said it earlier in the week - need ST or defensive scores today because unless the D holds them to 14, I can't see the Pats mounting 3 or 4 12 play TD drives w their limited offensive arsenal (through offensive philosophy and who's not playing today).
also, turnovers today will be a death sentence.

I just don’t get the impression BB’s level of trust in Uche / Wino is anywhere near « we need this win » heights.

 

[JMC00]

Uche

If he's active he will get snaps

 

[JMC00]

Well then you would be wrong about Uche. Uche was playing 35-40% of the snaps, he's a pass rusher. Winovich hasn't played more than 7 snaps of defense in a game since the Tampa game.

 

[FCB02062]

also, let's not forget Jones IS A ROOKIE. this is an incredible learning experience for him. Not many rookies get dropped into their first season and experience playoff type atmosphere/pressure for 3 or maybe even 4 games in their inaugural season...

Maybe this info is wrong, but in DEF snaps, I see a % that is going down each week…

This game is the season. Win and division is ours and if there’s a game 3 between these teams it’s in Foxboro. Lose and division is gone and a playoff miss goes from very unlikely to maybe.

Yep. We saw it last week. Preview of playoff football. Every team is gonna try to stop the run and make Mac beat them
Hes responded well time and again after making mistakes, but like you said- hes still a rookie- albeit a good one.

 

[Le Numéro Douze]

We are winning this game.

The Bills are mentally weak. At some point something will go bad for them and they won't recover.

We are mentally strong. Things won't unravel after a mistake.

That is what is going to decide the game. Mental toughness. We have it, they don't.

Oh and **** Qole Beasley

Unlike the Colts and Titans, the Bills aren’t physical either. Allen is key, probably the best skill player on the field. If the Pats protect the ball and don’t give up big plays, they win this game. Allen has to win this game for the Bills and I don’t think he will come through.

He plays situationally so his snaps will vary based upon the way the game goes as well as the opponent.
He’s been out a while so how ready he is to play is the wild card but if he is playing I expect some success in pressuring Allen.

The issue, which has always been the issue with our offense when it struggles is when the priority is staying ahead of the chains. When the offense is clearly focussed on getting to 3rd and manageable, instead of getting chunk plays, we start drives, convert some 3rd downs, then have a penalty or drop, or misfire that stalls the drive.

The Bills have so many backups playing I have no idea what to think.

A week ago I thought this would be a 10 point win for the Bills.

Now? I don’t know. Too many key pieces out.
