For the long suffering Bills Mafia fans, this week is their Super Bowl.\u00a0 If they want to compete for league championships, they first have to beat the New England Patriots<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0 They want to put an end to the Patriots dominance of the AFC East and end the dynasty of 11 straight Divisions championships by the Pats.\u00a0 The pressure is on Josh Allen, Sean McDermott and the Buffalo Bills.<\/p>\n

Their 5-2 record is very deceiving.\u00a0 They have beaten the little sisters of the poor in the Jets twice, Dolphins, Raiders and Rams, then lost to the Titans and Chiefs.\u00a0 Last week should have been a loss but they were playing the Jets, who held them to without a TD.\u00a0 Rookie Tyler Bass got 6 FG\u2019s to win the game 18-12.\u00a0\u00a0 Bass is the rookie kicker I wanted the Patriots to draft.\u00a0 They wouldn\u2019t need to use a 5th<\/sup> round pick to select Bass, who went undrafted.\u00a0 Josh Allen\u2019s passing numbers have been very good against these teams.\u00a0 He was 30-of-43 for 307-yards, no TDs or INTs against the Jets last week.<\/p>\n

His new weapon on offense is Stefon Diggs, who they acquired from the Vikings.\u00a0 This gives them another deep threat to go with John Brown.\u00a0 He has Cole Beasley in the slot, who had 11 receptions for 112-yards last week vs the Jets.<\/p>\n

The Bills used 11 personnel more than any team in the league.\u00a0 They made a big change after week 10 last year, moving Offensive Coordinator Brian Daboll from on the field to up in the booth.\u00a0 When they made this move, two things happened.\u00a0 They used 11 personnel more often and they ran the ball more.\u00a0 \u00a0If the opposing Defense loads the box, the Bills pass.\u00a0 If it’s 6 or less on the line, they run 53% of the time, the highest amount in the league.\u00a0 The league average is 34%.\u00a0 \u00a0When Daboll switched to the booth they ran 72% of the time on early downs.<\/p>\n

They let Frank Gore go in free Agency but they still have Devin Singletary.\u00a0 They drafted Zack Moss and he is starting to play more, last week averaging 6.7 a carry.<\/p>\n

Let’s talk about the Patriots injury report or who might be on the field Sunday.\u00a0 I asked my wife, who is a casual Patriots fan, if she could name any of the Patriots WR that will be on the field for the Patriots on Sunday.\u00a0 She couldn\u2019t.\u00a0 The only name she recognized was Jakobi Myers.\u00a0 With Julian Edelman having knee surgery Friday and N\u2019Keal Harry out with a concussion, look for two players to be called up from the Practice Squad.\u00a0 Isaiah Zuber can be elevated for a third time since one of his two recalls was a freeby because of COVID.\u00a0 We might see Mason Kinsey or Kristian Wilkerson.<\/p>\n

The Oline took a hit last week with Joe Thuney and Justin Herron coming down with ankle injuries in the game. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Shaq Mason is still listed as “limited” with a calf problem.\u00a0 Damien Harris was also listed as “limited”.\u00a0 On defense, it’s just as bad with Stephon Gilmore added yesterday, Copeland to IR, Carl Davis out, along with Lawrence Guy and Shalique Calhoun added as “limited”.\u00a0 Kyle Dugger and John Simon are also both “limited”.\u00a0 They are already shorthanded because of COVID opt outs and now find themselves dealing with this rash of injuries.<\/p>\n

The play of Cam Newton will be under closer scrutiny than ever.\u00a0 This may be his last opportunity to show what he can do.\u00a0 He has been slow to diagnose the defense, slow to make the pass, and holds onto the ball too long.\u00a0 His pace for the game has always been slow and last week they tried no-huddle and a faster pace but Newton’s inability to execute killed that.\u00a0 I think he will be on a very short leash this week.<\/p>\n

The weather on Sunday is expected to be an issue.\u00a0 It’s supposed to be rainy, cold and windy.\u00a0 This likely means running the ball.\u00a0 Buffalo is ranked 28th<\/sup> in the league against the run.\u00a0 Expect them to load the box and dare Newton to pass.<\/p>\n

This is going to be a struggle for the Patriots to pull off a win in Buffalo.\u00a0 What a difference two weeks makes, but hopefully we’ll see them end their 3-game skid on Sunday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
