Somehow, the NFL has ended up very weak this year, and I don't see another team that can stand in their way. Why do you feel this way. New England has played the Steelers who are in a world of hurt, the Jets who are in a world of hurt and the Dolphins whom are just the worst football team ever assembled. I need to see New England play a few good teams 1st. Buffalo will be the1st good team the Pats play. Maybe we could stand in their way
PatsFanNH Posted September 23, 2019 Posted September 23, 2019 So you take a loss at home and feel you would have an easier time beating the Patriots at the Razor where they have lost like twice in two years?? You also don't know how injuries will turn out for the Bills.. you could be decimated on D and Brady lights you up like the dolphins.. you don't know.. you play to win NOW.

We are so lucky to be here to share your nuggets of wisdom.
Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted September 23, 2019 Posted September 23, 2019 I wonder if this is a good topic for the 3 to 7 slot on 550? Beats a cereal draft.
Jasovon Posted September 23, 2019 Posted September 23, 2019 We are 3-0 with the best Defense in the league, let's at least try yeah?

My point is, we don’t need this win. We can still win the AFC East by splitting with the Pats and, at the same time, have an extra Bye week. We’re playing virtual chess here PatsFan while you’re playing Toss Across. 1

Maybe we could stand in their way Because I've watched the Pats build a lot of different types of teams and win with all of them. This may be their most balanced group yet. I dont think a team will be able to stop them offensively and I think their defense is opportunistic and has enough top flight talent to prevent other great offenses from scoring as much as they'll need to in order to keep pace. I think the Chiefs with their utterly redonkulous offense can put the Pats to the test, but I don't see another team with a good enough D to shut them down or an offense good enough to keep pace. The "Bend don't Break" zone style of D we play is what Brady has feasted on for years and years. It may work well against lesser talents, but he'l chew it up for 400 yards like it's nothing. We'll need to win the turnover differential by several points to win. 1

Rocbillsfan1 Posted September 23, 2019 Posted September 23, 2019 I honestly don’t care about this game. Ne is in another stratosphere. This isn’t the Super Bowl and the bills really to win against those other afc teams that will be competing for a playoff spot. Sure try to win the game but if anyone has any sort of injury and they are 50/50 I pull them and give them the extra rest a la popovich. The week after in Tennessee is so much more important then NE. 1

Albeit there is a negative connotation to "forfeit" but I look at it like in Revenge of the Nerds where the nerds just let go of the rope and the jocks won the tug-of-war contest. On Saturday, we issue a statement that due to injury we will be conceding a win in favor of the Pats. You might say "Absolutely not!!" but there's a few reasons to do so: 1) Will we really win this game? I'm putting our chance of success at 20% 2) Injuries are racking up: Singletary, Horrible Harry, CB's, Nsekhe, even Gore's cleats need a rebuild. 3) We need to keep our specialized offensive schemes under wraps for the late season game vs. the Pats. Let's limit the film that we give them now in favor of a more unique offensive scheme later on when the game really counts. I'd be in favor of going 1 and 1 vs the Pats this season, how about you? 4) By forfeiting this week, we get ) yds passing allowed and 0 yds rushing allowed averaged into our defensive ranking...that would put us at #2 or #3...I'll take that... 5) Fans can still show up to the game on Sunday, tailgate, go in the stadium and watch the Pats warm up, but it will be a relaxing environment...no stress. We're 3-1. Just spit ballin' here but it makes sense to me to preserve our defensive ranking, our winning record and get healthier for our next four games. It's a good idea that needs to be seriously considered. We can then blow them away and win the division with our talent competition entry!!! Edited September 23, 2019 by thunderingsquid

No. But with our undefeated record, knowing we can split with the Pats, this seems to be the best way to come out of this unscathed and still maintain the health of our unit. It's just stupid on so many levels. Any team can beat any other team at any time. That's what makes the NFL great.
H2o Posted September 23, 2019 Posted September 23, 2019 the Pats and the thought of a forfeit. Jerry has been waiting to commit this personal foul since the schedule came out. People have already bought things to throw own the field. Tables have been prepared. Banners have been made. Dang BBF, think of the children.
