Predictions - Bills v. New England*

[bisonbrigade]

I predict that Tom Brady will leave on an Ambulance gurney. Remember his Buffalo hotel shot last year. I bet Marcel Dareus Does.

i justed watched the waterboy with my son so ill go with the score vicky predicts 30-27 GO BILLS

[MarkyMannn]

34-13 Pats. Not feeling it like the rest of you..........sorry

[Slack_in_MA]

31-14 Pats. Sorry...

[Dean Cain]

Here's how I see it, Bills 23 Patriots 17.

 

I like our defense & I think we score a defensive TD & get a long return setting up a short EJ Manuel led TD drive. EJ won't throw the critical pick in the 4th that plagued Bledsoe & Fitz. EJ throws it away & we get a FG. And our defense sack strips Brady as he's conducting a 2 minute come from behind attempt.

I think it'll be a surprisingly close Bills loss (hopefully not a "why didn't you just take the touchback" sort of loss).

 

My prediction is that Mrs. Bungchin strains her mangina whining to the refs and Gisele comes to her aid post-game by calling out everyone not named Tommy.

[eball]

Were going to get blown out.....

 

But the team is going to get better every week

 

Good Lord; doomsday-ism and hesitant optimism in the same post. We are a sorry bunch.

 

Eff the cheating, talent-poor Pats* -- I'm looking forward to a lot of lost survivor pool picks come Sunday afternoon.

 

Bills 34, Pats* 17

[Pneumonic]

Opening day with a rabid home crowd helps but, in the end, the Pats are too much.

 

Pats 38 Bills 20

[TheBrownBear]

Well, the way I see it is that the Pats have beaten us 95% of the time since Bill Clinton left office, and about 70% of those have been humiliating beatdowns. Given that we have a rookie coach and a rookie (possibly injured) QB, I expect the trend to continue.

 

Pats 41

Bills 10

[billsfan714]

Not feelin much optimism. This defense has given up 3 of the 4 highest point totals in franchise history the last 3 years. Now were are going against Brady without Gilmore and possibly Byrd. Pettine has to be better than Wanny but he's not a miracle worker. A rookie HC and QB against a future HOF coach and QB----Pats 37--Bills 17.

I wish it was't so, but when reality sets in and we realize that we couldn't stop the run, and our CB's got burned on a regular basis in the New England game it will be very humbling. We have a very young, inexperienced team and coaching staff. It will take time for them to gel in game scenarios. Besides N.E. seems to have Petine's number...at least when he was a Jets coach! The loss of Stephen Gilmore really hurts and will cost the Bills at least 7 points if not more!

 

My prediction is N.E. 31 Buffalo 17 and that may be generous, as I could see it go to 42-13 if it gets ugly. Some of it depends on Armedola and the N.E. receiving group....as Wes Welker may be difficult to replace. With Ron Gronkowski out 31-17 seems logical.

 

That said, I hope I am way off the mark!!! I hope the Bills find it within themselves to beat the Patriots, and if it somehow goes there way maybe Buffalo 31-27 would be the ticket. But, I'm not trying to play both sides of the coin, and I'm sticking with N.E. 31-17 and will remain pessimistic until the Bills prove otherwise against a winning team, as their history dictates that they can't beat a winning team period!

 

Let us Pray! Go Bills!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ET1062]

Based on our starting secondary: Patsies 72 Bills 28. The Bills do want lots of plays, this is what is going to happen.

[IronyAbounds]

Hard to believe that the Bills with its secondary are going to win this game. The offense could score 35, or it could score 3, there is absolutely no way to know how EJ will perform given his limited playing time in the preseason (two series against starters is not a sufficient amount of time to get ready for the NFL). What EJ needs to do is enough so that the Patsies can't load the line and shut down Spiller. Anything beyond that is really expecting too much at this point. I'm thinking NE 38 to 17.

Come on people, it's NE and we NEVER beat them in the Tom Brady era.

 

I hate it but

NE 31

Buffalo 20

[BUFFALOKIE]

I just woke up, came to the garage for a smoke and opened this thread on my phone. It sparked a memory of the dream I just had. Really...

 

First play of the game - Brady's pass deflects off the ceiling fan. Belechick and two fans tumble down a long concrete stairway and into a water fountain while wrestling for the ball. Jeff tuel comes up with it and strolls back up the stairs while Belicheck begins lecturing the children to stay out of the pool and he shows everyone the scrapes on his legs and elbows. Me and my two kids hop in a conoe and float away down the river while someone else lights off a string of firecrackers.

 

Great dream. LOL. I have no idea who wins.

 

GO BILLS!!!

[Chandler#81]

Pessimistic side: Stands are empty early in the 4th

Optimistic side: Show promise, lose by 9

[CodeMonkey]

I predict I'll be drunk before halftime.

Reading through these predictions, yours seems to be one of the more realistic ones.

But hey, as of right now the Bills are undefeated and tied for first!

Buffalo, 19 - 0.

[TPS]

The Pats always start strong; they will be well prepared. EJ struggled early with nerves in the first bills scrimmage and his first preseason game. I expect the same Sunday. I don't think the first half will be pretty, but the bills will make a comeback in the second and fall short. 34-24 Pats.

I second that emotion!
