They also have the corners capable of effectively running cover 0 if they are all playing.  We have not done so well against that thus far.  Though it is a good test for our upcoming rematch against the Ravens.


They can be beat.  We have Brown who is fast and can get off the line quick.  Needs to get open faster and on slants that take advantage of the space behind the LOS.  Beasley is shifty and small, needs to work with Josh on finding the open space, quickly.  Singletary on draws or screen passes - again beat the rush.

 

i don’t know if our offense is mature enough to do all of this, but to advance against the pats or ravens, they gotta figure it out.  Lost to the both of them and really could have won either game.

This is the rare opportunity to truly play fearless against the Pats. I would love to see them really test the patriots’ secondary. Maybe the refs for once Will keep Gilmore honest on all his illegal contact too. 
 

would love to see the Bills get Knox

and Duke our there on some 1 on 1s to outmuscle their DBs.

The defense will hold their own, the offense will have to play their best game of the year.

 

I don't see it.

 

Well the offense played its worse game of the year against them last time.  We lost by a blocked punt.  The will definitely need to play better this time around.  Probably even better than they played last night, but best game of the year?  I don't think that will be required against the Pats.

Bills have zero to lose at this phase. 

 

Daboll better open that playbook up big time. There is no reason to play conservative in this game on O or D. 

 

Break Brady apart on D.

Apparently you have not watched many Cheatriots games this season.

 

The Pats have been looking very pedestrian this year!

 

Pressure Brady and neutralize Edelman = WIN!

This is wrong. Conservatism just means you do not take unnecessary chances. Playing aggressive offense against the best defenses in the league is like playing with fire.  Why would you put the ball in jeopardy against the #1 turnover team in the NFL? The only way the Steelers could have won last night is if they got a bunch of turnovers. The Bills were smart not to give them that chance. It is the same thing against the Patriots. 

Far from the same thing against the Patriots because there won’t be any rookie QB to harass. Brady may have lost a step but compared to Hodges, he’s Brady in his prime. You can bet being conservative in this game won’t get the Bills anywhere close to a win

It feels like New England is that older great champion boxer, towards the end of his career and is on the ropes, getting hit high and low and can be KO'ed with some big hits.

 

Time for Buffalo and others to deliver the final blows.

Unless you are George Foreman (NE) knocking out Michael Moore (Rest of League). The Beating Foreman took was brutal and his face shows it. . . UNTIL. . .  New Heavyweight Champ and everyone buys an electric grill.

Not exactly the same thing, but that attitude is based on reputation, not scouting. Brady this year is not the Brady of past. But you are right, he is smarter than Hodges and that is an element to take into consideration. I just think that even with that in mind, you still play conservative. If you get aggressive against that defense, you will have turnovers and you will end up playing from behind.

I don’t mean aggressive as in taking deep shots, but mainly don’t be content with a narrow lead if an opportunity presents itself to put points on the board. I know how good our defense is, but at some point, our offense needs to provide its own spark and keep the pressure off our defense. But perhaps our run game can be established early.

Make the Pats go on long drives of 75 yards. 
Make Brady throw to anyone really, he is below average at this point in the season and the colder it is the worse he plays. Hit him early and often. I wouldn’t mind a 15 yard personal foul hit on him early that sends the message, ‘you are getting hit tonight old man’. 
Rush four guys and pressure Brady with four, sprinkle in some blitzes. 
Block everyone on punt team.

Don’t throw up Duck balls for Gilmore to pick off.

Someone better hit Jonathan Jones hard for the Allen play. 
Pound  the rock down their throats.

Allen and Beasley have a big night. 
Brady is crying at halftime and yelling at people. 
Belichick breaks his tablet because he can’t cheat his way to another SB.

If you have a lead, and if the other teams offense is struggling, and the other teams defense is a dominant unit, you do not put the ball in the air or in a dangerous position for more points. You run the clock and put the onus on the struggling offense to make a play.

 

It is a basic match-up. For example, if you are on offense, and you see Stephon Gilmore on the right side and an UDFA on the left side, and you absolutely need to make a play to win the game, you do not throw the ball to Gilmore, you throw to the UDFA.  Same thing on a grander scale here. Trying to "put points on the board" is like throwing to Gilmore when you can just throw to the UDFA.

would love a bunch of short routes to Beasley, Knox, and Singletary/Gore running.  

 

Knox only had like 1 target yesterday, 10 yard gain for a first down.  

 

Anyway, beat the Pats like they used to beat us with dink and dunk and stellar D.

Think the Bills will absolutely light up NE on Saturday.

 

For the past 3 games, Bills have been feeling the pressure of making the playoffs - some tentative play, some missed opportunities, etc. -- but overall great wins and now playoff bound.

 

All that pressure is now gone - and Bills are also in a celebration mode, want to have a chance at the division, and also to continue to showcase their progress on the national stage, and a bit of payback from the earlier game this year.

 

Add all that up and I think NE is toast - and think this also becomes that truly "breakout" game for Josh - 

 

Going to be fun to watch - Go Bills!

Boy, wouldn't that be a nice way to put a bow on this season.  Couldn't think of a better way to pass the AFC East torch to the new leader.

Going to be another dogfight. 
And has been the case the last few weeks another statement game for Josh and the team. If good Josh shows up they can absolutely win the game. If bad Josh is there I’m not a fan of our chances. Patriots are just too smart they are not going to beat themselves. I would love to see a strong run game and dominant time of possession. Leave Brady on the sidelines and cold and keep our D fresh and aggressive. Loving the excitement of huge games in December with major playoff implications though. Great time to be a Bills fan

Expecting to win vs a team whose offense we held to 9 points in September isn't out of touch with reality.
