I'm with you, man. I know I predicted the Bills will be slaughtered by the Pats*, but as the game draws closer, I have this wierd feeling that the Bills will play better than expected. I still think we will lose, but it may not be by much.
Here are some of my reasons why I changed my tune.
1. The Bills O-Line didn't show anything in the pre-season. The guards rarely pulled, if they even pulled at all, and we all know they're athletic enough to do so and have done it (pulling) very well at the college level.
2. The Bills practiced the screen a lot in TC, but we hardly saw it in the exhibitions.
3. When Owens was healthy, Trent threw the ball down the field a lot in TC. During the games, nothing.
4. Schobel and Maybin will finally be on the field together at the same time. I believe our pass rush will make things uncomfortable for Brady all game long.
5. Our offense can't be THIS bad!
6. Like you said, the Pats* have no idea what's coming for them. New coordinator, and Owens on the field with Lee at the same time.
7. The Bills' receiving corps should have an edge over the Pats*' secondary.
8. We are LONG overdue!
LET'S GO BILLS!!!!!
