Patriots @ Bills Week 1 Gameday Thread

[tonyto3690]

Patriots win 34-20

Predictions:
1. Patriots run for 200 yards
2. Chandler plays some DT
3. Defense forces 2 turnovers
4. Defense has 4 sacks
5. Sudfield has his first career TD

 

[Kontradiction]

Thompkins with at least 80 receiving yards and a TD. Ridley with 100+ yards on the ground and a TD. Chandler Jones with 2 sacks. And a Patriots win.

Bills are missing CB Gilmore and Byrd/Mario are both limited with foot injuries.

Patriots are missing Gronkowski, Dobson, Bolden

Welcome to Ralph Wilson Stadium - New England Patriots Blog - ESPN Boston

Patriots streak on the line. The Patriots have won nine straight season openers, which ties for the fourth-longest streak in NFL history. Only Dallas (17 wins, 1965-1981), Miami (11 wins, 1992-2002) and Portsmouth/Detroit (10 wins, 1930-39) have a longer opening-day winning streak. The Patriots’ last opening-day loss came here at Ralph Wilson Stadium, a 31-0 pasting by the Bills, who had former Patriot Drew Bledsoe at quarterback and former Patriot Lawyer Milloy (cut by New England just days earlier) at safety that day.
