Last year they played bills and lost there they were without mankins as well and they got great pressure up front...expect the same



Their D line vs our O line

In that game the offense totalled 495 yards and scored 31 points. I'm OK with more of the same.
 
I don't see how anyone can expect the pats to win this game...

here comes 1-3 folks


16-0?

They still have the best QB & coach in the game, in a league that is all about QB play & coaching.

However, I have a gut feeling that today is a somewhat historic day in the AFCE. After over a decade of dominance, it feels like today could be the proverbial "changing of the guard." Everyone is talking about how much the Pats want it because of 2 losses in a row, but the Bills have built their team over the past 2 years for this game.
 
I think that the biggest thing at stake in this game is seeding, you have to believe the patriots would still win the division even if they started 1-3, the Jets and Dolphins just arent any good and the Bills dont really scare me deep into the year, however, Baltimore and Houston look great and Baltimore already has a tiebreaker against you. Losing this game puts you in serious jeopardy for losing a bye week and thus significantly hurts your Superbowl aspirations.

The Patriots have only gone undefeated within the division once (in 2007) since 2001, it would make sense that if the Patriots lose the game, it would be on the road early in the year against the 2nd best team in their division, Even on paper, this game wasn't a gimmie (in my opinion), i don't understand why that changes just because the Patriots are now 1-2.

And the Patriots have built there team for the one in Februrary.

The only reason the Pats are elite is because they grabbed lightning in a bottle in the 6th round many years ago, and have a HOF coach.

The team around those 2 guys is not really differentiated from the rest of the NFL in a significant way.
 
Some trivia, or perhaps trivial info:

  • Sign of red zone issues: Stephen Gostkoswki has 10 FG attempts this year, which is the 2nd most in the NFL; last year he had just 33 FG attempts for the entire season.

5 of those 10 attempts have been from 40+ yards.

And perhaps you should win more than 6 games in a season before you claim a changing of the guard.

The Bills lost 22 games in 2010-2011.
The Patriots have lost 22 games since the start of the 2006 season. (The Bills have lost 60 in that time)

First, that is an ignorant statement.
Second, they still have both.

The Bills have been horrific over the past decade, and the Pats have been historic.

But, all good runs come to an end. If the Bills win today (and I do think it could go either way), it's fairly significant.

No its 1 game.
I'm sure you felt last years game was signigicant before you proceeded to go 3-10 the rest of the way and we went 11-2

It's s different kind of game.

There is no way - no way - the "dynasty" Pats lose this game, after 2 straight losses.

But, I don't think these are the dynasty Pats anymore. If they lose today, it says more than just a loss.
 
Matt Tennant is the final inactive.

The Buffalo Bills are 0-1 in the AFC East and gave up 48 points to the New York Jets, who barely squeaked one out last week against the Miami Dolphins in one of the ugliest football games ever.

Let's not order any rings for the Buffalo Bills, just yet.

What is it 2 losses? 3?
I know you have had the misery of being a Bills fan for a long time and really, really want to believe it can all be over magically. Sorry. Not the case.

So you felt last years win was meaningless at the time, and expected the Pats to be 13-3 and in the SB and the Bills to lose 10 of thier next 13? Really?
 
LOL bills fan, changing of the guard today? You wish. Go lose another 4 Super bowls in a row.
 
This is a big weekend in the AFC East. If the Pats win, the gnashing of teeth should subside.

The Jets without Darelle Revis get the 49ers at home while the Dolphins go to Arizona to play the Cardinals. Both could get shut out.
