They’d win the ones they should’ve won by landslides with the narrowest of margins and last minute heroics.... then they’d slay giants that based on the former, they had no business beating. Thats just one reason I’m beyond excited for this weekend to see where things are. So we should expect the SuperBowl losses to start piling up.? 1

I was happy we won but then shortly after didn't feel much. I was curious if that's what being a fan of a winning team felt like. Being favored in a game and having everyone expect us to win is one thing. Being an underdog is where we have lived for so long that it made every win that much better. I'm hopeful for this weekend but the amount of positivity coming from here and gmfb and wherever just feels like I'm setting myself up for a bad Sunday. I'm more than happy to be wrong though. My wife makes sure I am daily. I know what youre saying, but I do believe that is the past. We are now a team that makes a game plan to beat a certain opponent and we execute that plan. If we have the lead we wont budge from that plan. We seem to make adjustments in the 4th quarter rather than the half. We were getting beat 16 to nothing in the Jets game. lol what game did you watch Week 1. 1 hour ago, Jobot said: The thing that had been bothering me about this upcoming game vs NE, is that Buffalo just hasn't played a complete game so far this season. They've looked so great early in all 3 contests, and then just seem to coast.. .Why is that?? However, my revelation is that with NE in town, there is zero chance of this happening! This Sunday, watch as the Bills trade punches with NE for 1.5 quarters before establishing total dominance in the 3rd and 4th quarters. This game will mark the end of the Patriots control of the league for REAL this time! Edited September 27, 2019 by formerlyofCtown

I was even keeled all week and now you throw optimism and a reason to think that we are witnessing the start of something great? I really don't know how to handle a team that is successful. 1 hour ago, colin said: same thing here. i finished watching the come back last week and just knew we'd lose this one, hoping to keep it reasonable. now i'm full of hope and ready to get crushed. Youve had three consecutive weeks of euphoria. Time to jump all in and if we’re all crushed.... so be it. Just beliveing they can can win any game even when their down... that’s completely new for some but and old welcome familiar place for some of us and it’s tine to get back there. 1

CLTbills Posted September 27, 2019 Posted September 27, 2019 They are definitely beatable, no question. As long as we eliminate the mistakes, we can definitely win this thing. Can't throw hero ball int's. Can't kick a 62 yard FG at the end of the half when you still have a chance to gain yards with 7 seconds on the clock and come away with no points. Can't fumble in the red zone. If we finish these drives, instead of let points get away like last week, we win by 10.
Happy Posted September 27, 2019 Posted September 27, 2019 I'd like to think we'll win, but I doubt it because I don't think we can stop the Pats short timing passes. I do see us stopping their run. 1
BuffaloButt Posted September 27, 2019 Posted September 27, 2019 I officially BILLIEVE they can win but I'm not sure we've been playing well enough to pull this one out just yet. The emotions for the Bill's will be at an extreme high. Hope we play mistake free because we will win if that happens!!

El Guapo Posted September 27, 2019 Posted September 27, 2019 Hope springs eternal. And, yes, I hope we win. however, I still believe we are a year away from taking the AFC East and holding on to it. I hope I’m wrong.
GreggTX Posted September 27, 2019 Posted September 27, 2019 31-26 Bills and yes, I must be crazy. Big day for the offense and just enough on D to make it stick. Bills win 1st half. Pats come back to make it a 1 score game. D hangs on at the end. 2 sacks for Hughes. Knox has a breakout day. Brown fares reasonably well, but Allen grows up a pinch with his best NFL game to date with 3 TD passes and a 3 yd TD run to go along with several other good scampers. Thousands will leave with larengitis after shouting "Let's go Buffalo!" for the entire game. The respect for this team will grow considerably as national writers will start digging deeper to find out why. 1 1
Chandler#81 Posted September 28, 2019 Posted September 28, 2019 Officially, I have no idea, despite 15 years of failure. But I THINK we can do this! We’re young and we will be stronger next year, but we may just have enough right now to take them down. Especially with them missing significant pieces. 3

But, Brady is the problem. I don't think NE will run the ball much unless they have a 2 score lead. 2 hours ago, GreggTX said: 31-26 Bills and yes, I must be crazy.

par73 Posted September 28, 2019 Posted September 28, 2019 Bills would need an heroic effort from the D, and the offense would have to eliminate the turnovers. I think the Patriots defense will be too much for Allen, and the despised Brady will keep doing what he does to the Bills.

Dr.Sack Posted September 28, 2019 Posted September 28, 2019 If the Patriots running game is kept under 40 yards and we force a lot of 3 and outs we win.
