nucci Posted December 19, 2019 Posted December 19, 2019 1 hour ago, whatdrought said: Week 16... We have 6 depth players on IR, and 2 backup players on our Injury report... I know luck is part of it, but there's definitely more to it than that. Those facilities, and the medical training staff are playing a role. This out to be highlight #1 on our FA tour list. Also, anyone else getting the sinking feeling of there being too much hype? Or is that my BBFS? it's your BBFS...the hype and excitement is a good thing 1
colin Posted December 19, 2019 Posted December 19, 2019 I like Mike Torrico, he's clear, enthusiastic, and seems to enjoy the game. who was the guy who had all the great stevie johson/fitz games, gus johnson? i liked him too. 1
Peace Frog Posted December 19, 2019 Posted December 19, 2019 We need to win this game for one simple reason: winning is a good habit to get into when headed to the playoffs. 3
dakrider Posted December 19, 2019 Posted December 19, 2019 I look for the Pats to completely sell out in rushing Josh Allen. Bills better be prepared for the blitz all game long and Allen better not stand in pocket and ignore his blind side or he's going to get smashed. This game will be decided on Bills first 2 plays. If they run on first and second down and don't get more than 5 yards total, then Daboll is just strutting out his regular old conservative game plan that NE already knows and its just going to put the Bills in 3rd and long all day. 1

I would come out swinging; literally. Throw swing passes to RBs until they stop you...and I think they'll struggle to do so without going to a Cover-2 zone. And that's when you hit them with the chunk throws to the boundary and the TE seams. 1 1

Honestly, it's a similar feeling for me to 2007. Pats* were undefeated, but a bunch of people started picking the Giants to win for some reason(and they did). I'm ready. Let's turn this division on it's head! 1
Scott7975 Posted December 19, 2019 Posted December 19, 2019 From MSN... Bills vs. Patriots: Can Josh Allen outplay Tom Brady? The New England Patriots are suddenly vulnerable due to Tom Brady and the offense, which has been rather lackluster in 2019. The Bills could have beaten New England earlier this season due to their defense holding the Pats to just 16 points. However, in that game second-year quarterback Josh Allen had his worst outing of the season, completing well under half his passes while throwing three interceptions. If Allen can continue the strong play he’s put on tape in recent weeks and avoids those big mistakes, the Bills can absolutely win Saturday in Foxborough.

Think it’s a treehouse so not tied to a particular brewery. I’ll have to see what’s available. The good news is the pub over the road to it is our old local Sam’s and has just reopened after refurbishment. I’ll call in there before poker to see who’s about and grab a Sam’s lager. 1

I know you're just the messenger but this stuff drives me nutz.....Josh Allen does not have to outplay Tom Brady. He has to outplay the Patriots #1 defense. Tom Brady does not have to outplay Josh Allen. Tom Brady has to outplay the Bills #2 defense. Chris Brown points out: Not captured above is that Tom Brady has thrown ~120 more passes than Josh Allen, so the same # of drops represent a higher % 7 1 2
whatdrought Posted December 19, 2019 Posted December 19, 2019 It just feels like If allen can throw for 230 and produce a positive TD/TO ratio, this game should be ours... And that feeling scares me badly. 1 1
Logic Posted December 19, 2019 Posted December 19, 2019 47 minutes ago, whatdrought said: It just feels like If allen can throw for 230 and produce a positive TD/TO ratio, this game should be ours... And that feeling scares me badly. The thing for me is this: The likelihood of the Bills winning the division seems small any way. It would require not only the Bills winning out, but the Pats to lose to the Dolphins. As such, and given that the Bills have already clinched the 5th seed...in my mind, they're pretty much playing with house money. If they win, awesome! We beat the Pats in their house in the first time in forever and we have a remote chance of winning the AFC East. If they lose, not really a big deal, they still get the playoff seed they were most likely to end up with ANYWAY, and they lose yet another game to the Evil Empire. Don't get me wrong: I have a strong feeling this is the last Brady-led Pats team the Bills will ever face, barring a playoff rematch. I badly want to see the Bills win. But honestly, if they don't, it doesn't really mean much in the grand scheme of things, UNLESS you feel pretty confident that the Phins will be beating the Pats in week 17. 2
