Agreed. Thursday games are tough. Doesn't matter who you play.

I mean there is a very slight regression in Herbert's numbers but it is really, very, very slight and it is the sort of difference that could easily be made up. 

 

His yards per game are down about 6 yards, his completion percentage is down just over 1%, his YPA is down 0.1, his TD % and touchdowns per game are actually marginally better.... I would say he is having a VERY similar season to last season. He maybe hasn't taken a next step, that would be fair, but I don't think he is regressing. 

 

May be true but if you look at their wins/losses... in their wins he threw for a bunch of yards and TDs.  In their losses he didnt and he threw picks in close games.  However that is probably also similar to last season so your overall point would still stand.

Patriots ……it’s everywhere on every sports show…..all over the radio! Patriots are due for an embarrassing loss tomorrow….let’s go Falcons!

Well this post didn’t age well.  The Pats are playing just as well as the Bills , actually more consistently with 5 wins in a row and don’t look now but they have one more win than we do. They have swagger and confidence on that d and their o line is at least looking better than ours right at this moment.  Pressure is all on the Bills this year after having a big division lead and slowly watch it disappear because of “ good” , “ wake up call “ loses!  Pats are doing what thry do, improve over November and December.  Meanwhile , we keep having o line shuffles from management decisions to injuries, to Covid issues.  Their o is power running to open up play action while we finally got some identity last week.  The pats D is pressure oriented and made a vet like Ryan look terrible and the Falcons line looks like a potential problem for us given our season so far.    They play smart O, and Jones is extremely accurate and is willing to take short gains until the D has to close in the box.    We looked good against a terrible , one game wonder QB, while Jones is vying for offensive rookie of the  year. !  
 

This adds pressure and makes the Colts game, Saints game, must wins until we can get the Pats in Buffalo. This is the stretch where we see what we are made of and most importantly,, it will say much about Mcd as a coach and Beans team building philosophy!  I dislike Belicheck but he has done a great job given the physical mediocrity of his rookie Qb. Josh could Learn patience in a system like this. Everybody believes the Bills will be out physically played and with our O line , it’s hard to argue that.  If we lose the division , it would be another disappointing Bills memory, unless somehow we advance past them as a wild card.  It’s just the physicality of the Pats that looks like real playoff ready football stylistically. If there was ever a real wake up call , it’s the Pats being right on the heels of the Bills as we struggle to be consistent.  It’s been over a month since we have won back to back games ; time to play like you are last years East winners and show some pride!  Don’t let the Pats TAKE it from you Bills ,as you are still in control of your own fate. Time to prove you want it and do belong at this years Super Bowl !  Who wants it more ?!  😉

It would be nice if we could have the division wrapped up every year by now like the Bills did last year,... but guess what? A middle of the road Pats team have dug in this year and want to make a fist of the division,,,

 

Fortunately we play them twice over the remaining schedule, and they also have to play the Colts and Titans so its still very much within the Bills sphere of control how the division will ultimately be decided..

 

My thoughts are that if the Bills cant win it from here then cop it on the chin that they simply were not up to it this year...

 

I still believe the Bills will win the Division again this year..

Middle of the road? That's a solid football team.

They're a physical football team that doesn't make many many mistakes.

I'm concerned with all teams. NE is definitely a good physical football team. They remind me of Indy last year that gave us trouble in the playoffs.

[Malazan]

The Bills lost to the Jaguars. I'm worried about every single team they play. Daboll Derangement Syndrome (DDS) can strike at anytime.

Fair enough…

 

My thoughts are there at least 10 or so other teams I am more concerned about so I will continue to rate them as “middle of the road”…

[Dr.Sack]

Take care of the Colts, then focus on the Saints. In 7 days we could be 8-3, 7-4, or 6-5, heading into what will be 1st place in the AFC East.

Except they have an average QB and not Philip Rivers

They are excellent in the trenches. Like if you evaluated teams by the combined strength of offensive and defensive lines New England would be top 5. Their defense is a very good all around defense to be honest. Kyle Dugger has really come on in his second year they got Collins, Van Noy and Hightower all back from last year at linebacker, Judon has been a beast up front.

 

On offense other than the offensive line they don't have much that stands out... that is fair. But they are well coached and are not making many mistakes. The schedule toughens up for them now but they are a playoff team for me. Still think the Bills win the division but New England are a very solid football team.

I agree they are solid. Well coached, with a very good defense and offense that limits mistakes.

 

Saying that they are an overhyped solid.

You thought you'd start an entire thread noting how over-hyped they are, huh?

You must be really scared of them!

Rivers was very average at that stage of his career.

[machine gun kelly]

Sucks they blew them out.  The Pats have a solid defense, and you can always count on the Falcons to screw things up.  They have a running game and they are giving Mack safe throws to big targets.

 

this will be cleared up in a couple of weeks.  I don’t think that game(s) will be pushovers, but I’m not initimidated by them either.
