Game Day Thread Official Game Day Thread- Bills @ Pats

[WhatJustHappened]

This is the 2nd year in a row that Bailey has been ineffective/hurt, so I'm guessing Bill will be drafting a big leg punter this upcoming draft.
The Punting is usually a PLUS for us, but last 2 seasons(at least some of) it's been a Minus for us.
Can't have nonsense.

They need to play a clean game, no turnovers, hopefully get one or two from the Bills, contain JA and they have a chance to win this one. Mistake free and I like their chances.

 

[Thelonious]

If I look at the facts, it doesn't seem the Pats have much of a chance tbh. I think they'll lose: that's what I tell myself. I do hope it's a good game, a competitive game. Watching the last game between these two was a painful experience. I'd hate to repeat it.

I do have a sneaking feeling, facts notwithstanding, that the Pats might surprise us positively. Maybe a few elements of the Pats team will simultaneously see the light, get the picture, turn the corner, buy a clue, figure it out. Maybe Bill will come up with something brilliant. If I were a betting man - I'm not - I'd bet on the Bills, but I'm gonna watch with an eye out for unexpected positives. I think I have reasons for my optimism: I just don't really know what those reasons are.

How's that for rigorous empirical analysis?

Maybe Bill lets Strong plays a bit, and he makes a huge play to win the game, redeeming himself from the kicking penalty that helped lose us the Vikings game. We need someone to change it up for Rham. Sure missing White, or even Bolden right now.

I'm going with blind hope, too.

For @captain stone

They’re a week late elevating Vizcaino. Thought they would last week; wish they had.

I'm afraid I don't see Vizzie getting a whole lot more than the obligatory one kickoff tonight; and certainly not as many as Folk's last week.

As for the other dude, the less said the better... I haven't begun yet to start drinking heavily...

 

[captain stone]

Should be permanent... Especially Pat at midfield.

 

[captain stone]

This is the 2nd year in a row that Bailey has been ineffective/hurt, so I'm guessing Bill will be signing as a UDFA a big leg punter after this upcoming draft.

Fify, and I agree.

Better get started...

The line started as Buffalo by 5.5; it's now down to 3.5

 

[captain stone]

I'd REALLY Love it if they draw up some plays to get TT free tonight.

I'd also love to see our starting FS set the tone by knocking Josh Allen into next week when that jumpy ****ing punk starts running down-field as if he's wearing a skirt that can't be touched... Like he should've done to him last season when he had a Golden Ticket moment to do that very thing but made a Business Decision instead.

 

[WhatJustHappened]

Fify, and I agree.

I don't care if he's a draft pick or a UDFA, Just HAVE TO GET ONE!
Giving up FAR too much field position for a Bend don't Break type of defense... IMO of course.

Most 6th/7th don't even make the roster, so if he's a stud from there I'm good.
Bailey was a big weapon B4 he turned into a hospital bed(as we're some others over the years).

The positive news on Brown's & Meyers' availability has likely moved that a bit the Pats' way...

LOL. Well, given that you won all those picks contests, and having no doubt considered the matter are now compelled to resort to blind hope, I guess I'm feeling a little less optimistic.

 

[Joker]

yeah...I'm very anxious...I mean I hope they pull it out...I'm trying to stay optimistic...hope they play a clean game...yada yada yada...yes ma'am....I'd like $500 on the Bills and a $100 on Bills/under..thanx...as I was saying...yeah, sitting here in Foxwoods and tanking up...trying to calm the nerves, you know?...I think the Pats have a chance...at least I'm hoping....

 

[SHOWTIME15]

time to stop Diggs

 

[WhatJustHappened]

Let's Go Pats, Let's Go Pats...

 

[Ross12]

I wonder if they just added Brown late so they wouldn’t get in trouble for “breaking injury report rules” or some junk.

 

[ashley]

 

[Ross12]

I wonder if this is a good week to take them by surprise and start attacking with downfield passing again. If Brown is not too sick and Andrews is good then hopefully the OL can manage the Bills rush without Miller. Let Mac toss it deep to Thornton and Agholor and see what happens.

Edit: @ashley ’s post right above me makes me think this even more now
