buffalobill43 Posted September 5, 2013 Posted September 5, 2013 Love the optimism some of you are showing, but let's look at the facts: - New Coaches - New System - Rookie QB - Rookie LB calling the defensive plays - Very inexperienced LB and DB corps overall going against arguably - Top Coach of the last decade - Top QB of the last decade - Strong running game we have not been able to stop - Very strong DTs and LBs for NE. I predict 45 - 19 for the Patsies, busy day for Carpenter (4 FGs) and probably a TD from Special Teams. I think we will see tons of three and outs, putting our defense on the field an awful lot and getting tired early. I'd be happy if we see some positive play from Manuel and I'd rather have him take his licks early on in the season against a team we probably wouldn't beat anyway. Also hoping for the secondary to prove me wrong, but they are my biggest worry right now.
xsoldier54 Posted September 5, 2013 Posted September 5, 2013 I kinda like us at home. Maybe 20-17, something like that. If we hold them under three TD, I think we win.
The Wiz Posted September 5, 2013 Posted September 5, 2013 (edited) I predict I'll be drunk before halftime. I second that emotion! I'll be in that boat as well or falling out of it. Game: I just want it to be respectable if we do lose and run up the score if we can win. Edited September 5, 2013 by The Wiz
GA BILLS FAN Posted September 5, 2013 Posted September 5, 2013 Bills secondary is over-matched; Pats 38 Bills 21 --- I would have loved to see what would have happened with a healthy Gilmore and more motivated Byrd
atlbillsfan1975 Posted September 5, 2013 Posted September 5, 2013 It will be close. being a Bills fan i say the Bills win. I also think after the game Belichick and Brady are going to say 'that is a different Bills team. They have a legit coach, legit QB, and a legit D.' Belichick and and Brady will both have a look of disbelief on their faces as they watch the clock run out. it will not be like two years ago where the Bills 'stole' one in the Pats eyes. This time the Bills just beat the Pats straight up man to man.
D521646 Posted September 5, 2013 Posted September 5, 2013 We're gunna do what the lions did.. Bills 40 Pats 9.. We win and the AFC East is now ours for the next ten years baby!
Realist Posted September 5, 2013 Posted September 5, 2013 Not sure where all the optimism is coming from, must be beginning of new era and season and everyone thinks the Bills are juggernauts. Unfortunately this game will bring many back to reality, Pats* 38 Bills 13. My optimism will start the next two games.
1billsfan Posted September 5, 2013 Posted September 5, 2013 Not sure where all the optimism is coming from, must be beginning of new era and season and everyone thinks the Bills are juggernauts. Unfortunately this game will bring many back to reality, Pats* 38 Bills 13. My optimism will start the next two games. I think that the Bills deserve to be huge 11.5 underdogs if only because of Brady vs rookie QB factor. However, I'm very excited about the big potential of the young players. I really can see the potential there for a shocker Bills win. That stadium is going to be nuts and if the Pats defense lets them have some success on offense, the energy will be unreal. I'm not predicting a score or who will win because I just want to enjoy the positive energy of this team. Even if they get blown out, which is possible, I really like the direction this team is heading in.
hondo in seattle Posted September 5, 2013 Posted September 5, 2013 Bills 21 Pats 17 The offense and defense both play just well enough for the Bills to eke out a win at home.
Homey D. Clown Posted September 5, 2013 Posted September 5, 2013 Bills hang tough and lose a close one 28-24 But Manuel goes 20-33-292 3 TD 0 int and looks every bit FRANCHiSE the whole way. Would be one two happiest losses in team history. Those are Jim Kelly's debut numbers against the NY Jest in 1986..
Kipers Hair Posted September 5, 2013 Posted September 5, 2013 Patriots 37 - Bills 10...Game over by the half....
HamSandwhich Posted September 5, 2013 Posted September 5, 2013 24-21 Bills CJ Spiller two tds and 168 yds rush 28 rec. 28 receptions? That's a lot...how many yards?
Meark Posted September 5, 2013 Posted September 5, 2013 10 year anniversary of the 31-0 opening game in Buffalo. NE has not lost an opening game since. Will history repeat? I hope so!
Nathan Posted September 5, 2013 Posted September 5, 2013 Pats 35, Bills 28. Bills are down 35-21 with a few minutes to play. EJ almost mounts a comeback by scoring in the last couple minutes to make it 35-28, but it's too little, too late. The onside kick after fails and the Pats hold on. But the closeness of the game gives us fans enough optimism that things are looking up in Buffalo.

Even if they get blown out, which is possible, I really like the direction this team is heading in. This is where I am. I'm excited to see new schemes and offense and defense, and this season is all about watching our young franchise QB get better and better every week. But it's not worth predicting a score, I don't need eball crawling up my back end.
