Ravens - Overrated or not they keep finding ways to win. Colts - For a not that great team they just steamrolled the Bills at Home. Bills — Have all the talent in the world, I still can’t figure out why your OC is so afraid to stick to running the football. Titans — anyone loses a player as special as Henry will struggle afterwards but so far I do believe they are 3-1. Good job coaching by Vrabel. Chiefs — Biggest weakness is a terrible D, but any team with Mahomes, Kelce, and Hill on it is a threat. Patriots — Have a tough D and a rather Young O. They should be a year or two away. IMO have the GOAT of coaches which helps hide the warts. Steelers — have a Top D and a meh O being led by a broken down Big Ben. Also well coached. They could surprise people.

It always amazes me how you take everything and anything out of context! I was literally responding to someone talking about the QB.

Lol since when is ANYONE afraid of Wentz? Hell I’d dare him beat my team and do everything stop Taylor.

Wentz has a hole 108 yards! Taylor has cut threw the Bills D like a hot knife today.

Ok an outsider here, but you run the ball all the way down the field have 2nd and 5 and do 2 passes that were either to KOW or to high? Why did they stop running? You know do it till they stop it the. If they do on second down do a PA pass.

I actually thought the defender had ripped it from his hand and had the football.. but umm why did they blow the whistle with the Bill trying make something good happen?

I see the team being similar to 2001 in the fact it’s D first, followed by the run game with accurate passing when needed. NOT saying it’s 2001 just the style they are playing is that of Brady first year starting. Which IMO is the best thing for a rookie QB.

Not a Mantra was trying to show just how close that game was, nothing more.. that team also well sucked compared to this one. What’s weird is how sensitive some bills fans are.

Well that’s the point. They built the team to allow him to grow. It’s the only comparison I have for this team and the 2001 team. A great D, a strong run game, and a smart QB who doesn’t make those critical mistakes. The one time this year they were down by more than a TD he led the O down and got them to within 8 with like 10 minutes to go, and the D just allowed the Saints March for 8 minutes and a score.. so the One time he did well and the D let him down.

I don’t expect Mahomes be there again this year, not with that Defense. If I am honest after Mahomes and Allen I am hard pressed for a real elite QB in the AFC. I don’t like Jackson and see him fizzling again in the playoffs early.. why I say the AFCCG be either Titans v Bills or if my Pats are lucky maybe the. Against one of those two teams.. (hey I am allowed a little rose color glasses lol)

Exactly! But they have to make teams be honest. What I mean is if the 4 rushing contain any run it will be a long day. Your are Need make them pay for a dime d all the time.. but again in a snowstorm (which definitely can happen in buffalo) you need to run since passing be very hard.

I agree! But for a rookie the Pats O is perfect for.What the Bills need is a run game to keep teams honest. You don’t want elite pass rushers just reading back and attacking. (Judon will feast in the backfield for example if he didn’t have stay honest for the run. IMO of course)

I was talking about the regular season for the Pats games. But in Buffalo weather if you get home field advantage you need be able to run in bad weather. Right now the Bills IMO are way way to pass heavy. I am expecting my Pats make it to round two and lose in a dog fight. Also I would NOT call Tanny an elite or top level QB.. lol Last year when you embarrassed them the D had given up because that O was beyond pathetic bad. The first game was close and more how I expect these two games to be. (I mean the Pats were a Newton fumble away from winning last year lol)

Ya and Kelly was much better than Josh “I haven’t done anything yet” Allen. Really the Pats have played 2 more games and given up like 40 more points.. oh and are 2nd in the NFL in points per game.. which may change after Sunday depending on how your team does.

I think your wrong by putting the ball in Allen’s hands against NE. If anything the weakness has been against the run. Also the Bills want success at home in the playoffs and snow.. you need to run.

I agree OLine matters for RB. It’s also hard for an Oline to get good at run blocking when you don’t call many run plays. For an example against the Jags they ran 9 times and the game was always close.. it seems silly! Also dangerous be that one dimensional on O. I know you have a great QB and WR but sooner or later that lack of running will bite you in the butt.

I’ll believe you it looked deeper than that but was an amazing pass for a rookie coming right off a pick 6. I was shocked he went right after Diggs again. Rushing attempts means something buddy. Just like total number of yards. YPC a cute useless stat when your talking about someone who runs it less than their own QB each game. It also fails take in any sort of situations.. like say 3rd and 1 and he had to bulldoze threw a line of 10 to get there.. it counts as a 2 yard carry but it was bigger than say someone getting a 8 yard gain on 3rd and 15. YPC is a terrible stat.

It isn’t when the people your comparing in rushing attempts are 12 and 35! It’s a dumb stat for people like you think your RB good when he isn’t. If he was “good” your team would run more instead of averaging less than 9 carries a game. That’s a pathetic amount of attempts. While the other is over 14 a game including games he missed.

Are you seriously comparing a RB who has 80 carries to one that has 143? One has over 609 yards the other is below 400? Maybe look at the real stats instead of cherry picking ones makes you seem smart.. hell Stevenson has 67 carries with 305 yards and he hasn’t even played the entire season!! So again the Pats RB are better than the Bills RB.

That matters not, because people tune in to cheer against them. Thus higher ratings thus more profits for the NFL.. and that’s all the NFL cares about.

A case where stats don’t show everything. Harris and Stevenson are like Bulls running they usually drag one or two people with them. Anyone has eyes take them over singletary right now. While Knox MAY end up being a better TE than Henry, he is not right now. As for Bourne he has 562 yards right now with 15.2 yards a reception.. I dare say he will eclipse that number easily. All that said Bills have the more experienced and right now Better QB, definitely a better WR core. The Pats have a better O line and RB, and D is a crap shoot both are damn good period! In other words should be a great games! Like I said I watch the games that throw was sweet on the money and deep.. and an amazing throw after throwing a pick 6 literally the play before. (Especially for a rookie QB) Romo even said it was 50 in the air lol.. Romo can’t be wrong.

That’s also wrong, the last TD pass right after the pick 6 was 50 yards in the air it went for a total 75. Why I don’t like these “charts” when you watch they don’t pass they eye test. For example some talking head up hear said Jones was 0-2 for any pass over 10 yards.. that was wrong. (As you know he had a couple nice throws of 17 yards) but I bet he meant over 20 yards.

Well the Pats did win a SB where Michel was the catalyst for the victory..

He shouldn’t scare you as a bills fan yet. You have the better QB right now no matter what. also I don’t know how he would do in a comeback situation but he went toe to toe with the Cowboys and landed a few good deep passes. (Like a 50 yarder that went 75 for a TD)

What do you consider a deep pass? For example he threw a couple nice 17 yard passes for completions, and that interception was a rookie mistake. (Which I expect)
