26CornerBlitz Posted December 23, 2017 Author Posted December 23, 2017 McDermott Close to Rare Bills' Coaching Mark Posted by Chris Brown on December 23, 2017 – 10:01 am Amidst the Bills chase for an AFC playoff berth, head coach Sean McDermott, in his first year at the helm is close to achieving a mark rarely accomplished by Bills first-year head coaches. With an 8-6 record, Sean McDermott has a chance to be the fifth coach in Bills history (of the 20 they’ve had) to have a record over .500 in his first full season with the team. Here’s a look at the coaches who have been able to post a better than .500 record in year one. Bills’ Coaches – Record Over .500 in 1st Full Season w/Team Lou Saban, 1962 7-6-1 Joe Collier, 1966 9-4-1 * Wade Phillips, 1998 10-6 * Mike Mularkey, 2004 9-7 Sean McDermott, 2017 8-6 * team made postseason Note: Marv Levy’s first “full” season was the strike-shortened 1987 season, when the Bills went 7-8. They did go 12-4 the following year. TOP 10 REASONS TO GET INTO THE SPIRIT FOR BILLS-PATRIOTS The Bills will head to Foxboro for a Christmas Eve matchup with the Patriots Week 16. Here are the top 10 reasons to get into the spirit for the game.

I have yet to see definitive evidence of those other things. I’ll reserve judgement until I see Zay with someone else under center. I like your glasses. Just not the Rose-colored tint.. Re-watch the games. 1

How did you know I wear glasses ? Ehh, I’ve watched all the games man. I’ve seen Zay play really poorly (poor route running/drops), and I’ve seen him do some really good things. That said, I’m not ready to completely condemn him like you are. Ultimately, I think he’ll be better suited to play in the slot. I don’t think he is best suited to play the “x” or “z” WR positions in the NFL. 1
26CornerBlitz Posted December 23, 2017 Author Posted December 23, 2017 Fairburn's prediction It's tough to pick against the Patriots in a division game at home in December. That's not a situation New England usually loses in, especially with Tom Brady and the rest of the starters playing the full game. That said, the Bills have a chance to make this one close. If they play defense like they did last time, the Bills would just need a better offensive showing to make this game interesting. Patriots 25, Bills 17 Talbot's prediction The Bills enter Gillette Stadium as a large underdog and it’s easy to see why. New England will enter the game coming off of a big win over the Steelers and defeated Buffalo by 20 points earlier this month. The Bills will likely throw the kitchen sink at New England in an attempt to pull off a major upset, but it’s hard to pick against the Patriots.Patriots 27 - Bills 13
26CornerBlitz Posted December 23, 2017 Author Posted December 23, 2017 Do the Bills have a shocking upset in them? I just can’t bring myself to entertain the possibility, not in this spot. The Patriots are still in a fight not only to secure a first-round bye, but home-field advantage throughout the AFC playoffs. They need to win, and they need losses by the Steelers and Jaguars to lock up the No. 1 seed, so don’t plan on a letdown following their emotional and dramatic win in Pittsburgh last week. The Bills won in Foxborough in 2014 and 2016, but then rookie Jimmy Garoppolo or Jacoby Brissett isn’t coming out of that tunnel Sunday, it’ll be Brady, fully motivated and probably fired up because in the game three weeks ago at Buffalo, the Bills held him without a touchdown pass. The Bills are fortunate in that a loss does not eliminate them from postseason contention. It doesn’t help, obviously, but if they go to Miami and pull out a victory, and a couple other results swing their way — all of which is very possible — this game really won’t mean much. MY PICK: Patriots 31, Bills 16.

26CornerBlitz Posted December 23, 2017 Author Posted December 23, 2017 Patriots Quietly Struggling on Third Down Posted by Chris Brown on December 23, 2017 – 1:38 pm Three weeks ago against the Bills, Tom Brady was intercepted by Tre’Davious White on a third-down pass play in the fourth quarter. That play resulted in Rob Gronkowski’s suspension-inducing late hit on White. It also started a rough stretch for the Patriots on third down. Beginning with that play, Brady has thrown more third-down picks than third-down completions resulting in first downs. New England has had 22 third down plays counting White’s INT and they have just three conversions versus four interceptions and a pair of sacks. The Bills are hoping that trend continues today Patriots’ Offense – Last 22 3rd-Down Plays Brady – Comp-Att – 7-18 Comp for 1st Down – 2 (Amendola, Cooks) Interceptions – 4 Sacks – 2 Rushes – 2 For 1st Down – 1 Brady has five third-down interceptions total this season. It’s the most for him in any season since 2004 when he had seven.

Need all the help we can get. I just wanted to add.... Guerrero must be a super sketchy dude. Either Belicheat was pissed off that he wasnt the main cheat anymore, or that Guerrero was too sketch, even for him. What a weird organization Belichick lost it when he found out Guerrero wasn't cheating enough. Holistic HGH. 1 1
Beast Posted December 23, 2017 Posted December 23, 2017 If the Bills win the toss, I hope they don’t do their usual and defer. I want the ball first and attempt to take the lead. I think that game a few weeks back would have been completely different if we punched that opening drive in the endzone, or even kicked a FG. I don’t want to see Brady get first crack at things.

I don’t want to see Brady get first crack at things. Rather have it first in 2nd half. I get your train of thought but our offense has been flat out terrible in the 1st quarter all year long. I think asking for football first would be a waste of possesion for us. 1

Brianmoorman4jesus Posted December 23, 2017 Posted December 23, 2017 10 points is probably enough for the Ravens to win this game Wow that was a nice drive
Brianmoorman4jesus Posted December 23, 2017 Posted December 23, 2017 Thanks for just completely laying back and handing them 18 free yards on 2 plays to get an easy FG. Why would you ever back off like that on 2nd down?
