we beat the jets twice and miami once.Us beating NE, no matter how we do it will deflate them for the rest of the season.
this will show we can got 6-0 in the division and with 2 other wins it would show we are on track with 8 wins. That means this game tells us we need 2 more wins on top
of AFCE sweep. the Chargers and Broncos seem to be the obvious wins putting us at 10.
if we split with NE or Miami or both it would mean we have to steal 1-2 wins from seahawks, cardinals, 49'ers or stealers to get us to 10 wins. We may be able to do it with 9 wins the way this division looks but 10 looks better on paper.
Knowing all this info.. would this be a devastating loss to NE? yes.. Worst loss in Coach McD history with buffalo? maybe..
