Patriots Pregame Thread Week 7 pregame: Bills @ Pats

[archstanton543]

Just begging for a long drive, red zone, and maybe a touchdown??? I know too much right. Oh Brady...

They had a long drive for a TD last week. Granted it was when the needed a quick strike but they did have a long drive resulting in points.

 

[archstanton543]

How about Tomase? He's downright creepy looking with his bug-eyed look.

I'm shocked NBC put him on the Pats beat. I'll never click on anything he writes.

 

[Thelonious]

For twenty years, I went into every game assuming we'd win. This year, I go into every game assuming we'll lose. It's been hard to set aside either assumption, and neither conduces much to objectivity. Makes yer head spin.

So I assume they'll lose this week, but then the ghost of twenty years of giddy optimism starts yammering away and I begin to cast about for some rational basis - or handy delusion - which can get me back to my long-accustomed optimism. I thought they had a chance against Dallas, I assumed it was just some screw up on the part of God's bean counters that they didn't win at least one of their first two games. I sort of assumed they'd beat New Orleans, I thought the Jets win actually meant something. It hasn't gone well. I have been ill-served by optimism.

"Maybe," a ghostly voice says, "it'll be close."

Hamlet took counsel from ghosts: how'd that work out? (For those who managed to give the Bard the slip in high school: it was a bloodbath.)

I'm afraid this one is going to make the tanksters giddy.

Yep... If Dorothy Parker not only dresses but plays a lot of snaps, then we'll all know that not only is the "Patriot Way" dead & buried, but that it's now completely ass-backwards.

Parker trotting back out there tomorrow as a starter shows how dysfunctional this organization has been for many years.

Need a Tom Brady scarecrow on the sidelines to hopefully scare the other team.

Yep. he's just a thoroughly unlikeable toad of a creature. Not quite as obnoxious as Adam Jones, - the Human Ipecac - but that'd be a stretch for anybody.

Here he is, restraining a fart, I believe.

Pats are wearing their silver pants tomorrow.

Thank you Bob!

Thank you Bob!

They'll lose in style!

Josh Allen is day to day with right shoulder soreness

Bills quarterback Josh Allen injured his right shoulder during Sunday night's game.

Hmmm. He'll probably play but will he be on a pitch count? Too bad the Pats don't have much of an offense right now or they could take advantage of this.

He still could beat us with one arm throwing to diggs..

I think I touched on this a few games ago but yeah. Up until a few games this season, I was still in the line of thinking that “just maybe this ship will be turned around. we are the patriots”. I don’t think this ship is getting turned around at this point

Savage beating for the Patriots coming. No pass rush and Allen runs = crummy Sunday night again...

Allen's shoulder is on the fritz.

So what, you say? Good point.

So you're probably right.

I really hope that doesn't happen. I'd almost take it as a direct and deliberate insult to myself and every other fan.

Can we atleast get to watch douglas & jack jones instead of parker & bryant tomorrow?

The Patriots have activated CB Jack Jones from IR and ST Cody Davis off the PUP list. Veteran OL Riley Reiff has been placed on IR.

Kind of surprised the #Patriots didn’t elevate Conor McDermott for tomorrow.
