Success Posted October 28, 2020 Posted October 28, 2020 It is weird - this kind of weather DOES favor the Pats, at least on paper, for the 1st time in 2 decades. They are much more of a running team this year - and we're not good against the run. Hopefully the forecast changes a bit as the week goes on. This game is an important one for my overall mental health and well being.

Morning high of 51F with temps falling to near 40. Winds SW at 20 to 30 mph. Chance of rain 60%. Winds could occasionally gust over 40 mph. Expand So. The gales of November are coming early. 🤔
DCofNC Posted October 28, 2020 Posted October 28, 2020 Hopefully, McClappy sees the weather report ahead of time and decides to have the D schemes for it. Stack the box, have a Spy on Cam (let Edmunds do it, at least he’ll know his assignment), and no friggin zone D to let them throw the easy short throws they want in that weather. More likely we see a soft cover 2 with the corners giving a 10 yard cushion to guys who wouldn’t make most team’s practice squad, leave the middle of the field wide open for Edelman, Cam runs for 120+ and 3 scores. Meanwhile, Daboll will outsmart Bellicheck by going deep on 79% of the passes in the first half, getting JA to a 30% completion percentage with 8 3 and outs, the first touch for a running back will come on a JA fumble recovery. And after the blow out, the headlines are “The Pats are back!” 1

When he has to take something off he's just scattershot - and they have like no deep threats. I expect them to just hammer the run game a lot in this one. Expand Yeah, idk about that. He had a WR running wide open down the left sideline on Sunday for what would have been a sure TD, looked like he threw it as hard as he could, and came up about 3 yards short. Even the commentator mentioned it after the play, how it was only a 45 yard pass and Cam didn't seem like he could get it out there.
BuffaloMatt Posted October 28, 2020 Posted October 28, 2020 Same weather expected in NE. Home or away it still shi! weather. Good teams win despite the weather

Augie Posted October 28, 2020 Posted October 28, 2020 Oh, how I wish I could be there to sit thru that. Alas, we are not allowed. Fortunately, the forecast in my family room is 76 degrees and dry! That forecast is unlikely to change. As much as I love attending games, it’s made for home viewing where I can get a bite to eat without a second mortgage and pee without a detailed plan. 1

Cam's arm looks dang near shot out there. We should load the box against the run and see if Cam can beat us throwing the football. Allen can throw those underneath and intermediate routes all day long. This is a different team we are facing than pervious year. I'm not going to go out and bet $15,000 on the game like StHustle or anything like that, but I like our chances . Expand Hey screw you pal! 😂 And I'm almost back to even after hitting on 3 three team parlays last weekend! I'm done betting on the Bills this season. I went years without doing it. Best to keep emotion away from gambling decisions. I do very well overall and almost 100% on bets when I'm as confident as I was with that 15k bet. How humbling an experience that was.
