I’m not asking if we are on the right course with our franchise, or if we have a chance vs NE this year, I believe both of those are a “yes”, but I surely wouldn’t bet on the Bills straight-up. So, would you bet on the Bills vs Pats this year, straight-up? If not, than we’re to the subject of this thread. What would you add (or subtract) from ONLY OUR ROSTER before the opener, to tip this in our favor? Expand Barring an injury to Brady or a complete collapse of the Patriots around him, the Bills cannot be a favorite going into either game against the Pats this year. There's just too much history of failure against them for anyone to expect the Bills to beat the Pats. For instance, in their first meeting in 2019, even if the Bills come into the game 3-0 and the Pats are, say, 1-2, the Bills will not be favored.

Toesy Posted April 18, 2019 Posted April 18, 2019 IMO it all comes down to Allen this year-the lineup is much stronger than last year-lots of QBs make a big jump from rookie to second year-if he does that if will be a fun season.
Lofton80 Posted April 18, 2019 Posted April 18, 2019 Better find a way to stop the run, they ran at will the last game. Even their wide receivers were jet sweeping us to death. Need Milano back, improved play from Edmunds and defensive tackles who can get off of blocks. Oliver, Q Williams or the Clemson DT become instantly more appealing after watching that All 22. Or learn to outscore them. 2
JimKellyTryouts Posted April 18, 2019 Posted April 18, 2019 Overall improvements with both us and the Jets should lessen the gap this year, but passing them will continue to happen in a gradual manner. If Josh is our guy, great; we can continue to use resources next offseason to make us improve even more.
Boatdrinks Posted April 18, 2019 Posted April 18, 2019 Josh Allen posts an historic level season , Brady’s age starts to show with a major injury and missed time. That’s about it. Heck, even Mahomes’ amazing year in 2018 wasn’t enough to cover up KCs defensive deficiencies in two contests vs NE. I’m afraid the realistic answer is it doesn’t happen until Brady is done.

We have no one that has proven to penetrate that offensive line on a consistent basis. We should be using New England as a standard on how we draft defensively. They neutralized Aaron Donald in the Super Bowl...washed him out. Edited April 18, 2019 by Rocket94

Use the Rams or CHI as a standard on defensive drafting, not the Pats. Goff makes 3 decent throws and the Rams are champs. Heck, a healthy Gurley may have done it.

Toesy Posted April 18, 2019 Posted April 18, 2019 The other thing is-Brady is great and in fantastic condition but nobody has ever played NFL QB at a high level at 42 years old-there is no guarantee that he will be able to do it-because he has stretched out the longevity thing so far when he goes it will probably be very sudden.
Fan in Chicago Posted April 18, 2019 Posted April 18, 2019 Win the battles at the lines of scrimmage and not get out coached.
John from Riverside Posted April 18, 2019 Posted April 18, 2019 Put a offense on the field that scores points Our defense did not look too bad against them last year.....and they lost players this past year to free agency....retirement....and Tom is a year older

yungmack Posted April 18, 2019 Posted April 18, 2019 Not a matter of "how" but " will, " as in the Bills will.defeat NE at least once with a shot at the sweep.

quinnearlysghost88 Posted April 18, 2019 Posted April 18, 2019 We'll be fine. Brady's retiring after the draft. We will be dealing with their QB2.
