McDermott used the whole "this is our biggest game of the season" spiel last week for the Jets game. I know the players know this is a super important game, but it worries me. Patriots know that their season is over if they lose to us this week. The weather is gonna be real crappy and we haven't played well in crappy, rainy and windy games under McD with this roster. We are the FAR superior team in terms of talent. But I need my fears assuaged, anyone help me out here? That's because every game is the biggest game of the season to them. They don't prepare any different. That's a good thing. 1

The off-the-chart measurables were never in doubt; they just didn't know if the accuracy "problems" were real or not. Combine that with what we know about his intelligence, work ethic, and leadership? Sorry, there is little question who GMs would take in a re-do. You could be right. On the other hand, Troy Aikman and Terry Bradshaw were still opining that "a 50% completion QB is all he'll ever be" after the KC game. I don't know how representative they are of opinion "inside the NFL" but they certainly do have some chops they know something about football. There seems to be a substantial amount of "Let a Man Get a Reputation as an Early Riser and he may Sleep Until Noon" in the football world as everywhere. At this point, the QB class of 2018 may be generally perceived as over-rated. I think that the viewpoint on Josh Allen is changing around the league, but I think it's changing from "high ceiling dark horse who may or may not make it" to "possible he may become good, capable QB". Please note that Belicheck usesThe "new shinies" are Murray, Herbert, and Burrow with Lawrence on the horizon. I'm not just not sure about that 30 GMs thing. But I think 30 NFL GMs seldom agree on anything, and much as I love Josh Allen and want him to be The Man, he's still maddeningly inconsistent.

NE knows if they lose they are done. In more recent news..... their QB's also threw 4 ints last weekend and they got blown out at home. They are a 2-4 team, can't score. 1

I expect the Bills to win a close game. 1

He knows he needs to beat them to remove the next layer of doubters. Hopefully this will not result in pressing. Take what NE give you and don;t force it. Mix in a few timely runs and it is a high probability win for Buffalo. 1
Hapless Bills Fan Posted October 29, 2020 Posted October 29, 2020 Historically, Belicheck is masterful at correcting the problems that have shown up one week, before the next game. 17 minutes ago, PaattMaann said: well yes, but Im referring to McD saying to his team in the locker room post game "I told you all week, Men, this was the most important game of our season" Yeah? And what were they shouting in their group thing at the end?

Yes he usually is but you can't fix something based on their talent on defense. Its hard when they lose a bunch of guys on defense. 1

No game is a guaranteed win, but the Jets are as close as you’re going to get this year and they have 2 against them. Not gonna split hairs about those other 4 you mentioned.
PaattMaann Posted October 29, 2020 Posted October 29, 2020 lots of no practicing still - Cody Ford, Jefferson and Butler, Norman...hyde on the bike. Dont love it

Seemed you are making the point the Patriots could still be in it because they have two easy games against the Jets, but even with those givens the rest of their schedule suggests they are already in too deep a hole to dig out of.

They are. You're point was just fine. Its probably just him that didnt get it. 1
ndirish1978 Posted October 29, 2020 Posted October 29, 2020 Do we have any DTs aside from Oliver who actually ARE practicing? This game is going to be all runs up the middle and screens to the flats by NE and it'll probably work against this D.

Zimmer, Phillips and thats it Which is why im hopeful Butler/Jefferson will play, otherwise id guess we would have made a move?
