scribo Posted November 13, 2015 Posted November 13, 2015 In Week Two the Pats* had 10 days to prepare for our Bills. I felt then it was a huge advantage. But I think the 11 days we have now is an even larger advantage given the dire need for rest. I trust Greg Roman and Dennis Thurman will gin up a great game plan to present to Rex when he gets back from Syracuse (that's where Clemson plays tomorrow). Hoping all three Williams will be back, Shady will be full strength, Tyrod will be healed and Sammy will be as explosive as ever.
filthymcnasty08 Posted November 13, 2015 Posted November 13, 2015 KW back is huge for us. MW due for a monster game. AW coming back for the Pats?? I sure hope so! We should wear the red/red in their house.
scribo Posted November 13, 2015 Author Posted November 13, 2015 Rex made mention of the potential of having all three Williams back for this one.
CountryCletus Posted November 13, 2015 Posted November 13, 2015 Really hope we can go in there and hand them their first (hopefully second) loss... Would go a long way to gaining faith in this staff...
JP's Voice Posted November 13, 2015 Posted November 13, 2015 If I were the Pats, I would run a very high-tempo offense because it seems that we cannot seem to get lined-up on defense due to poor communication. I'm sure BB and TB will exploit this unfortunately...the same goes for not getting the calls in on offense. Good thing is, we have a full week to prepare for that! Go Bills!
kickedface Posted November 13, 2015 Posted November 13, 2015 i like that there is the long break. never really see the bills with this kind of time between games much less before the pats game its pretty crazy. hopefully it will give the players the time to recover and the coaches time to game plan
John from Riverside Posted November 13, 2015 Posted November 13, 2015 Were we healthy for the last pats game? I know the offensive guys didnt have a lot of time working together
aristocrat Posted November 13, 2015 Posted November 13, 2015 we are still the team that has run the ball the best against them all year. now shady is actually healthy and returning to form. Need to run it and keep brady off the field and need to capitalize on all red zone plays. We can't get into a track meet with them and if we can keep the total points under 50 we have a chance.
Mark80 Posted November 13, 2015 Posted November 13, 2015 No one is giving us a chance. Not even a lot of Bills fans and our local media. I think we are going to surprise a lot of people and this extra time helps a lot. Helps with game planning and helps with recovery. The loss of Lewis is huge in my opinion as their current RBs are not nearly as much of a threat in the passing game. They also got injuries on the Oline and we could, potentially, come into this game the healthiest we have been all season. We got a real shot at winning this game and I'm pumped.
quinnearlysghost88 Posted November 13, 2015 Posted November 13, 2015 I truly think it doesn't matter. The Pats are the only team I know that can completely change their scheme week to week. When they've faced us, I've seen them: throw quick swing passes and screens; just zero in on Gronk the whole game; ground and pound us with one or two or three backs, just run a hurry up offense the whole game; exploit a mismatch (2011: welker 16 catches, 217 yds, 2 TDs); have Brady throw 52 times; have Brady throw 10 times. They don't rely heavily on just the pass or the run, which makes them a nightmare to prep for. Look at the disparity of a few recent games: 2015: 52 rush 466 pass 2014: 50 rush 346 pass 2013: 267 rush 112 pass 158 rush 288 pass
Fadingpain Posted November 13, 2015 Posted November 13, 2015 Whatever small advantage is gained by extra preparation time will unfortunately be negated by Tom Brady and Bill B. Hopefully Rex is half as good as his reputation suggests and he can devise a plan stopping Tom from eating us for dinner. I'm not hopeful.
Dorkington Posted November 13, 2015 Posted November 13, 2015 I'm just hoping the Giants can injure someone important on the Pats. I'm at that point in my desperation for Bills success.
plenzmd1 Posted November 13, 2015 Posted November 13, 2015 (edited) AW coming back for the Pats?? I sure hope so! Philly game is first game he is eligible to active Edited November 13, 2015 by plenzmd1
Captain_Quint Posted November 13, 2015 Posted November 13, 2015 I think the extra time to heal up and practice is going to be good. I also like the fact that we have two night games in a row. This was sort of a warm up for the Pats game. Both are night games, away with a hostile crowd, and both are against division rivals. The night games are just different than a Sunday/1:00 game and it was nice to get a win, have 10 days to reflect on it, and then go out and do it again.
BillsFan-4-Ever Posted November 13, 2015 Posted November 13, 2015 Can we put this on holed until say Tuesday. I want to enjoy the weekend.

I would make Gronk the priority, though. I sometimes wonder if Bellyache was scheming to face his own team, what would he do. History suggests he would ID the thing you do best and take it away. I gotta believe that is Gronk. He seems to be the key to all of their scheme flexibility. GO BILLS!!!
K D Posted November 13, 2015 Posted November 13, 2015 they aren't really "preparing". they are off until Tuesday and Rex is visiting his son for the Clemson game at Syracuse tomorrow. but at this point of the season, rest can be the most important thing you can do. hopefully the guys are laying low and healing up because we have a long streak of games coming up
Deranged Rhino Posted November 13, 2015 Posted November 13, 2015 I'm just hoping the Giants can injure someone important on the Pats. I'm at that point in my desperation for Bills success. That's just wrong.
Big C Posted November 13, 2015 Posted November 13, 2015 Resting up is good, but I would hope our guys are watching some film while doing so.
