An undefeated Bills team hasn't faced a team 3-0 or better since 1992, when they lost to Dan Marino and the Dolphins.

The constant, unrelenting cheating, the smugness, the calls that only Brady seems to get, I'm going to let all of it go and... ...oh eff these guys. I can't stand them. Aside from the cheating and coddling, the fans are brutal. 99% of them have no clue that the NFL existed prior to 2000. But ask them, and they're all "die hards" that have followed the team since 1776. Never mind that they had less than 20,000 people in attendance at games and almost got relocated to Hartford back in the early 90s. They're the only team that could sign Antonio Brown and actually not become less likeable. They knew that he was a jackass when they tampered with and signed him, and now they're going to act all high and mighty because it got so bad that they had virtually no choice but to cut him. They're a-holes. All of them. Go Bills. PS--Rodney Harrison definitely sold steroids to Tom Brady. Did you see this? He’s disgusting. Apparently if you’re successful you get a pass on being accountable for anything you do and also being decent to people. 1
OldTimeAFLGuy Posted September 23, 2019 Posted September 23, 2019 ....deja vu?...........stay tuned........ By: Kyle Silagyi | September 7, 2017 11:06 am ET On this day in 2003, fans of the Buffalo Bills thought their team was going to the Super Bowl. Today is the 14-year anniversary of the Bills’ 31-0 win over the New England Patriots in their 2003 season opener. Playing against his former team, quarterback Drew Bledsoe led the way for Buffalo, completing 17 of 28 passes for 230 yards and a touchdown. Running back Travis Henry was also solid, rushing for 82 yards and two touchdowns. Eric Moulds caught four passes for 81 yards. 1

Canadian Bills Fan Posted September 23, 2019 Posted September 23, 2019 If Edleman is out with his rib injury, I think the Bills have a decent chance. I trust our run Defense and I trust Tre White on Gordon If Josh can have a good game, I think we have a chance 1

Of those 73.8% of 3-0 teams, a bunch of them go on to win their division -- that avenue is essentially closed to us. Our only realistic route to the playoffs is to sneak in as one of the two wild cards, which leaves very little margin for error. So while a generic 3-0 team might make the playoffs 73.8% of the time, our chances of making the playoffs are significantly lower than that until we're able to compete for a division title. And unfortunately, that's a year away IMO.

Anytime anything isn't 100% perfect he goes into shutdown mode and simply can't deal with people in any decent manner. I feel like there's a term for that...ah yes, sociopath. That's the one. 2 1

I don’t expect a win but it is possible for the first time in A LONG time? Keep in mind the Jets scored a TD on a pick six off the Pats* backup, and the other was a muffed punt recovered by the Jets for a TD. Their QB was responsible for exactly ZERO of those points.

atlbillsfan1975 Posted September 23, 2019 Posted September 23, 2019 Please put together 4 quarters of good football. If the Bills do that they can win against anyone. Really. The talent is here, it’s young, but it’s here. Scheming and execution will determine wins and losses. This team has the talent to play with the Pats for the first time since Brady has been there. The home opener in 2003 was a bit of an aberration. Time for McDermott and Frazier to put together a good D and adjust during the game as Belichick does. McDermott showed last year with the Charges game they are capable of mid game adjustments.

If the Bills play their best game and the Pats play theirs. Pats win by 10 points Pats offence is better than Bills defense and Pats defense is better than Bills offense. The big differece is in game coaching. McDermott is not very good at adjustments. Edited September 23, 2019 by Chris66
