Have you watched this team vs NE the last 16 years? Just what is positive about it? What about this team makes you optimistic about their chances vs NE?
McDermott will have them prepared and it's a team full of hungry players who do buy in to what he's doing. Plus, we have (almost) two games worth of tape on back-to-back NE losses to use to our advantage.

You must like losing money
Nope, just an optimistic fan and like to be positive!

So you believe or would bet we are going to beat NE in NE next week when they have something to play for? Yeah, right.
I would, and will, bet that actually.

Most of these scenarios people are throwing out are already chalking up a Bills loss to NE, so as you're reading, remember we haven't actually lost that game yet. Some posters will try to have you believe otherwise.

Good thing we're winning, cause we're getting hosed by calls and non-calls today. I'd be a lot more upset if losing.

I hear ya, trust me I do. But poo pooing on the 1st drive?!
I mean...how many times have we seen a promising opening drive and then 100 total yards for the rest of the game? Too often.

Wrong!!!! Man, you are displaced!!!!
Win or lose, how does that crow taste?
Hey man, I was wrong. Tyrod is looking good so far. The problem is, this only happens once every 6 games or so. I would love nothing more than Tyrod to be the guy and have what we are seeing today be the norm. The problem is, he just is not consistently a guy that can win games or play like this.

Imagine that. Great White Buffalo.

Rooting against him?
Just make a perception based on past events.

Well, there's Tyrod's one good drive for the day. Let's go defense!

Wish we had a Parish or McGee type returner again.

Scenario 1:
Bills win out - 10-6
Help needed: Titans or Ravens to drop one game (Ravens must drop Bengals or Colts
Why would we need help at 10-6? We are in a tie with Baltimore right now and win the tie breaker. Why would that change?

same as the scenarios most are looking for to get in.
Well, not really, since those other things already happened and can't be changed. We still can win and get in.

I am not planning on us winning, but if the
Dolphins can beat them, then so can we. Of course they seem to have our number so the outlook is poor, but there's a reason why they play the games! Let's beat the Dolphins first though.
If we win today, I would think people have to change their tune and get super excited for the game next week, and almost expect these guys to pull out a victory in NE. Unfortunately, I know a lot of the "fans" here will not, and will still expect a loss. Again, just not sure how so many go into kickoff each week with that attitude.
Win and we're in, so you are right. Beat the Dolphins today and let's see what happens the rest of the way!
1 minute ago, Boatdrinks said:I almost never watch Bills vs Pats games anymore. It's probably a defense mechanism, but there is only so much frustration a fan can take. One look at the record vs New England in the Brady era tells you it's the closest thing to a sure loss in the NFL. So I pick a more interesting game and just scoreboard watch. To each their own.
To each their own, is correct. Skipping out on watching a game and just checking in on the score probably works pretty well for bandwagon and fair weather fans. Enjoy the scoreboard watching next week.

Bills aren't going to beat the Patriots. .
Glad so many people seem to already know the outcome of this game. Do you even watch then, or do you save your time and be productive with something else next Sunday?
I love going into every game thinking we're going to get the W. Sure, you have to think some games are tougher than others, but I'm never going to tune into kickoff assuming we're going to lose. That sounds like a horrible way to be a fan. I wouldn't even get excited for games.

Yes. If Titans lose today then we are gonna be rooting for them to beat Rams. And if they beat the Rams and 49ers we gotta hope Ravens lose to Colts or Bengals.
Why not just root for the titans to lose all three?
You all are making this too complicated. Right now it's a two way tie with Baltimore and we have the edge for the last spot. Just win, and we're in!

Actually, I believe with 3 wins our chances are something like 86%. Let's play the games before we mark them down as losses.

What number would you put on this “best” chance ? 8 percent ? ??♂️?

So the Bills can get better draft picks and we don’t have to watch these bums wear the uniform anymore ?
Best chance we've had at the playoffs in years...but, yeah, let's root for draft picks who may or may not even end up starting for this team.

Need chiefs and bills to lose out
let’s go draft !!
Not sure why anyone would actually be rooting for this scenario.

I usually love looking at what teams to root for this time of year and than having a higher level of interest in those games (outside of Draft Kings). However, the playoff picture in the AFC is so muddied and complex this year, that there are too many what if's to even focus on who to root for right now. A three way tie for the last WC spot makes things a lot more complex, and until the games are actually played, there are far too many scenarios to determine who we want to win this game. You can see this right now as we would get the WC over the Chargers due to the three way tie with Baltimore. However, if it was a tie only between us and the Chargers, they would get the spot.
Assuming we win our games, we won't truly know who to root for until week 17. Of course, this is in games such as KC vs. LAC. By all means, root for Cleveland to beat Baltimore, SF to be Tennessee, Dallas to beat Oakland and Houston to beat Jacksonville. I recognize that we may want either Jacksonville or Tennessee to just win and take the AFC South title, but right now, if there is a team that is close to a WC playing a team that isn't (in the AFC), I'm rooting for the team that's not close to us.
Technically, we can still be the two seed behind Pittsburgh, with Jacksonville and Tennessee both getting in at 9-7, and KC and NE rounding out the AFC bracket. So, nothing is set yet. Let's enjoy the meaningful Bills games this late in the season!

Anyone else feeling they're going to get a TD, go for 2, and we lose 8-7?

Peterman has more passing yards in this weather than Tyrod gets on days that are 70 degrees, sunny and no wind.

Just curious if anyone else would be interested in Trent Richardson as a backup RB option, perhaps next year if we do not grab a young guy in the draft or as an UDFA.
NFL numbers were never great as a pure rusher, but he adds something as a receiver and could be a good change of pace back.
He's played well in the CFL recently, currently listed at 5'9 and 225 pounds (5lbs below his listed NFL playing weight) he has 48 rushes for 259 yards (5.4 avg.) and a couple of touchdowns. His best game came on 10/27 when he carried the ball 20 times for 127 yards.
His career yards per carry in the NFL was 3.3. But, he definitely caught the ball well. Would you guess he averaged 8.1 yards per reception during his career? I would not have, but he did. And, it wasn't on a handful of exceptions. He caught 51 passes as a rookie, 35 between the Browns and Colts in 2013, and another 27 in 2014 in a limited role.
I know the reports say he was slow to hit the hole, Jim Brown said he was nothing special, and I remember reporters saying nothing he did looked easy for him. However, I would definitely take a look, especially if we get close to next year with a back up RB situation anything like it has been this year.

The people who predicted a 2-14 season are probably the ones giving us a loss at NE already and upset that we're not 14-0. Makes zero sense. Is I was expecting 2-14 I'd be even more ecstatic about being this close to the playoffs.
