You have to give it time, but the signs are not good.

We are talking about weather.....if weather forces the gameplan to be more run heavy it takes away some of the scramble opportunities. Sure there are designed runs with Josh, personally I dont love those and those often are out of a passing formation/personnel. We don't have to agree, at the end of the day they need to be able to win in any weather.

What are the YPC and YPG of the RB's? We wont agree on this, IMO weather hurts the Bills more than the Pats.

Because they are a run first team with short passing. The Bills are pass first and if the ability to pass is affected by the weather, that favors the Patriots. Same thing in the game last year at home the Bills squeaked out, that game was VERY windy and leveled the playing field a lot.

Just the way the Pats want it....snow is not that big a deal assuming its not like that colts game a few years back. They should be getting used to it though, most home games have not been ideal weather this year.

Lines up with what we have seen. Every win has been a convincing win, no chance to flip it on one play. The losses are another story, blow out by the Colts at home. Loss tot he Jags played anywhere scoring 6 points...the week 1 loss to a bad Steelers team. It hard to believe this team has 4 losses, they are better than that. But their inconsistency is the reason. They need to get that fixed.

They must have the lowest sack rate when pressuring in the history of the league. We play a bunch of houdini's at QB?

Will Tre's rehab be done by Friday? If all pro means perform like dog poop then....Hopefully Barmore doesnt launch his butt into Josh on a 4th and one.

Star has missed three games already. So it’s not just the 10 day thing with him. He must either be sick or testing positive. Hopefully he can get back soon

He was doing fine last year til he got injured. Wonder if the knee is not getting healthy. He sat out a while and when he came back was clearly never at full strength.

Definitively a different side. I give a lot of credit for people who recognize they have done wrong and live every day to make it right. That’s a good man right there.

Wonder if his game will take a step back now that he is older.

Once again in regards to refs, there is a perception that calls are not consistently called when it comes to late hits, roughing, PI, holding, etc. I think the perception is real but these are subjective calls and I also think it is hard for refs to see everything and that is not recognized by fans....single set of eyes can't see everything at once. Especially when it comes to something subjective where a judgement needs to be made.

I do agree, I think Sammy suffers some from lack of passion for the game. Don't see that with McCaffrey.

Does the eye in the sky throw flags?

Rb version of Sammy Watkins. Ok. It really McCaffery is better but still….

The Bills D got steam rolled against the Colts. To some extent the Titans game can be explained away, the stats are skewed by a 76 yard TD run that if removed he had 19 carries for 67 yards and 2 TD's. Now the long run happened, we know that but as been pointed out there was some clear holding on that play so if the zebra had thrown the hanky that game likely flips to a bills win and the running numbers don't look as bad. If they get Star back and have Edmunds we should be good against the run vs NE, its just the play action and short/intermediate passes they also need to shut down.....without Tre

Stop the run, be ready for screens and short/intermediate passes.....I think the plan is dare them to throw deep. It always kills me how effective they are throwing to RB's. I guess if it was easy to stop more teams would.

I would particularly hate losing to the Pats.

You play the teams and players on the schedule at the time. No excuses either way. This week is the litmus test, we will see. One quote I hear in the media sometimes is very true.....its not so much who you play as it is when you play them.

His first name describes his position. Yeah, that is my concern too, injuries for whatever reason sometimes congregate at a position.

Just checking out the NFL standings and stats. The Pats are a machine right now. They have the highest point differential, lowest points against and points for are very good also. The Bills are right there with them regarding points. But for them, this is after starting 2-4. They also by far have the best conference record at 6-1 in the AFC which puts them in a great position for tie breakers to win the one seed if they win the division from the Bills. The Bills should have the division tie breaker (assumin Buff Beats the Jets in week 18) if they split with them though so that is good. We really need to find a way to win this game, 12th man could be huge.

Number 4 is the key in my opinion......If the Bills dont turn it over I think they will win. But that is easier said than done. If Allen gets stymied/frustrated, he needs to take a punt or a FG attempt and not force things/hold the ball too long. The Pats strategy will be to cause bad decisions by Josh.

Josh is by far a more talented player but to me this will come down to him making the right choices. Punting vs forcing a throw. Taking a fg instead of holding the ball and taking a bad sack. the pats will try and frustrate him which is when he is apt to make mistakes.
