Patriots Pregame Thread Week 5: Pats @ Buffalo

[UrbanCowboy]

The Bills D looks really bad to me. They come up with a few big plays to stop the bleeding, but they spend most of the game bleeding. I love Josh (and Cook is really good), but I think they are over-rated. I think we can win this.

They’re probably getting back their two best defenders in Oliver and Milano who both returned to practice this week.

Yeah the less ellis the better, should be mostly st and lower end depth (pretty pricey though for that, think they have to revisit that contract in the offseason) . Spillane has been better last couple weeks after a rough start. I always liked the gibbens signing, he was the Titans lb1 early last year then got hurt. Hopefully we found our #2

Ellis contract is pretty commensurate with his NFL status, and rotational/specialist abilities. It's still peanuts to what starting LBs are making.

I agree he is a depth player. Gibbens has really played well and is a hitter. At Safety I will mention again that Dugger has been playing well and seems to be getting better from the ankle issue. He and Woodson are likely better as the starters st Safety.

Even with those guys they still get run on.

Realistically they should be 4-1 if the fraudulent Ravens hadn't let up week 1.

This year it kinda seems like "who isn't a fraud?'

True, but they were there for the Ravens game

 

[PatsFan2]

If not for fraud Ravens they should be 4-1

Raven forgot they play 4 quarters.

I think if home team selects rivalries pattern, the visitors have to match.

That would put us in the North Carolina ( uh, I mean Nor‘Easter) Powderpuff blues.

I don't think both teams wear the Rivalries jerseys on the games they play each other. Look at Seahawks/Cardinals and Jets/Dolphins. I think we are wearing our Rivalries uniform on Nov. 13, against the Jets.

"If" the Patriots don't beat the Patriots they will have a chance every game.

I'll be happy with anything besides a blowout loss or a PIT-like loss.

@BadMoFo already beat me to it, but that's not how it works. It should work that way, but the NFL is all over the place.

Pats will hopefully do the home look with silver pants as other teams didn't have to match the monocrome looks.

Ravens had the game won in the first quarter.. Ravens D is not good... Hamilton is probably one of the most overrated DBs in the league..

Hamilton is probably one of the most overrated DBs in the league..

I thought I was the only one that thought that.

Great minds think alike TRM.. I mentioned this previously. He had one good rookie season and since that point he really has done nothing of all pro level.

On our team.. I feel like Dugger is playing better recently..likely getting healthier. Having he and gonzo back has helped solidify the secondary. Hawkins should remain a rotating player.

Would I trade Drake Maye for Josh Allen?
HELL NO!!!!!

I'd trade Dobbs and Vederian Lowe to the Bills for Allen. Don't know if they'd agree to that though...

There's no player in the league I'd trade him for. None. Period. Ask yourself the same question. Is there anybody who would? I'd also say Hell No to that.
Yup we struck gold again. Didn't know if it would ever happen after Tom.
Lol, not comparing Drake to Tom- nobody who ever played or is currently playing is even remotely close to Tom.
But we got ourselves an already great young qb who will be the best in the NFL in a,few short years.

Josh can be Drake's backup or occasionally spell Rham at rb.

 

[FCB02062]

Just keep it respectable and don't get blown out.

Allen with will be...

Soon..
