Bring it Posted September 16, 2019 Posted September 16, 2019 3 hours ago, Inigo Montoya said: The Pats look incredible. Damn it. Doesn’t do any good to sugar coat it. Their defense looks incredible, as good as ours, maybe better. Their offense is clearly better than ours. If the Pats stay healthy they are going to make another SB run. That doesn’t stop the Bills from doing their thing though. I think we can win 10 games this year. If we make the playoffs I truly believe it’s an “any given Sunday” situation and we will have a shot to make our own little run. Right now, and I hate to say it but NE is the better team. We could still beat them in 2 weeks but it would be an “ any given Sunday “ game. I’m more interested in later in the season and/or playoffs. Good teams get better as the season progresses and with all of our youth!!! However IMO the defenses are both very good. Good time to be a Bills fan! Is there a bad time to be a Bills fan??
Virgil Posted September 16, 2019 Posted September 16, 2019 Did I register at a Pats forum by mistake? Wtf is happening on this board?!
BITE ME Posted September 16, 2019 Posted September 16, 2019 The Pats defense is better right now. Let's face it, they have not given up a touchdown in 3 games, and one of them was against the Rams in the Super Bowl. They also shut down Mahomes for an entire half, and kept him under 300 yards in a game. Bills defense just a notch below right now, but it is young and is going to get better as year moves along. I think the Bills Defense showed it's youth in the first drive yesterday, but they made adjustments and learned.
Rocket94 Posted September 16, 2019 Posted September 16, 2019 (edited) The Pats still have the edge based on their recent success, but I feel that the gap between the two teams is closing fast. This Bills defense is starting to play as advertised, and the Patriots are going to find out for themselves. As time goes on, it will become more difficult for the Patriots to beat the Bills. Thats how this stuff usually happens...like a runaway train! Edited September 16, 2019 by Rocket94
Fan in San Diego Posted September 16, 2019 Posted September 16, 2019 The way the older QB's are dropping like flies we can only hope and pray.

Steelers know the Pats is their daddy if Pittsburgh went for it on that 4th down, where they pupped out on the FG, the Pats may have run the table of 0 allowed

Well now we say that, because we beat them both. Beforehand it was Jets are better and Giants are dangerous. 1

I put the Steelers a little above the FIsh and Jets, if you combined the best of the Fish and Jets rosters onto one team don't get mouthing off to fans of other teams over the Bills just yet....

I admit I was concerned about barkley but pretty much all for naught.

Random posters here and media types we saying such things. It certainly wasn't unanimous that the Bills would be 2-0.
Peace Frog Posted September 16, 2019 Posted September 16, 2019 We need Ed Oliver to sack Brady so hard that he ruptures an ovary. Miami sacked him twice and he didn't seem to like it too much. Watch at 2:05 & 3:38.

It almost gives you goosebumps just thinking about it. At least for as long as the game is even, the crowd presence will generate a genuine playoff atmosphere IMO. If we can live up to expectations, it might be the game of the year for fans.

If we can live up to expectations, it might be the game of the year for fans. The Monday night game it was a 12-6 game into the fourth and our offense couldn't move the ball to save their lives. If Allen can put some points up we have a fighting chance against them. The pats have some issues and aren't as unstoppable as people think. They always lay a couple eggs during the season. 1

I trust those guys I like our back 4 too. But New England's secondary is playing better than any other in the league through two weeks. That is undeniable.
Richard Noggin Posted September 16, 2019 Posted September 16, 2019 Patriots. And it's not very close. I say again, as a Bills fan and appreciator of McD's defense: the Patriots have a much better defense.
DuckyBoys Posted September 16, 2019 Posted September 16, 2019 We'll see neither team has played a great offense I'd give the edge to the Patriots but that defense also has benefited from being in tandem with a great offense If the Bills offense can can play at a high level the defense should be even better

mjt328 Posted September 16, 2019 Posted September 16, 2019 The Bills future looks very promising, but I don't think we should be comparing ourselves to the Patriots yet. New England is the class of the league, and has been for quite a long time. And right now, they look as strong as they've been at any point in the last 15 years. I'm not expecting Week 4 to go very well. And that shouldn't discourage anyone who believes our team is headed in the right direction.
