Patriots at Bills: Game Week Thread (v2)

[Bimmer323i]

I think we will win this game I think Allen will rise to the occasion but if for some reason we lose to the Pats with a rookie qb I will be completely devastated and will have lost all respect for this coaching staff and all my excitement for the rest of the season will be totally 💯 gone…. We better play this game like it’s our last… Let’s go Buffalo…..

You really, really shouldn't put that much weight & those high of expectations on any one game.

 

I know it's important, & it's the Pats, but you're psyching yourself up for some serious anger/sadness potential. I'm 100% not trying to be mean or anything, just remember how pissed I used to get when I'd do that myself.

I tried listening to belicheats presser on Wednesday.. Could only stomach about 10 seconds of looking at his puke face and his cringe worthy monotone voice I had to shut it off

I know what your saying but man I want this game so bad you have no idea… I’ve been climbing the walls all week waiting for this game to start…

Almost ALL of us have EVERY idea how you feel. That's why we're here. That's why I'll be there tomorrow night. That's why I won't sleep as well as I'd like tonight.

 

But it's true that being 7-5 after 12 games is NOT season-ending. Just ask last year's SB champs. 

 

Of course, it will be difficult to convince me of that (if it comes to pass) tomorrow night.

They lost to a rookie QB on a much lesser team already. Don't sweat it! Their winning with Defense and power running, not because Mac Jones is the perceived second coming of TB.

True that…. I just hope we come out with a solid game and not shoot ourselves in the foot with dumb penalties… If this game becomes a flag fest with the majority against us we’re prolly gonna be cooked

It's all about discipline and execution. You beat the Patriots by not beating yourselves (when you have a good roster like ours).

Mac Jones has been outstanding as a rookie QB.  Not sure what more you could expect from him.

He's been great for a rookie QB.  But the hype right now is COMPLETELY overblown compared to the performance.

Wind is insane already...

 

It's also getting warmer... 47 degrees right now according to our outdoor thermometer

Bowling is definitely better than reading a RunJoshRun post...

well, the gusts are expected to be even worse than what they are currently— like 10-15 MPH worse.  So, yeah.

Right. It will continue to get worse as the front approaches and passes. Which is supposed to happen prior to kickoff. 

 

The only real variable is how quickly everything progresses, which determines when and which way the wind shifts, if at all (i.e., lake effect or not).

Belichick vs McDermott, this is what this game will ultimately boil down to. Which coach will have their team prepared. Which coach will make the critical blunder during game. If McDermott and the Bills win tomorrow, he will be one of the few coaches that beat Belichick 3 straight games

About 22 hours from now this place will be an absolute party or darker than a morgue.  No matter what way it ends up, I don't think anyone is getting sleeping well.  Not sure any of us are going to get much tonight either. 

 

It's probably a little bit of hyperbole based on the way this season has gone and the ball washing the media and their fans are giving Mac Jones and the Pats*, but even after living through two decades of getting punched in the face by Brady and the Cheats*, I am not sure I have ever wanted to beat them worse than what I want us to do to them tonight. 

 

That said, we have been let down so much in the past for so many different reasons against this team.  Whether it's been our terrible rosters, terrible coaching, poor play, getting screwed by the refs and the league, all the way to them literally being caught cheating several times, it's a bit hard to believe in a positive outcome until we actually see it.  We had success against them last year, but it was a weird season as a whole and they didn't have as good a team as they do now.  I want to see a true changing of the guard as much as anyone here, but it's on us not to just take it, but rip it away.  We'll see what the coaching staff comes up with and if the players are ready to do what's needed physically and mentally to make it happen in a big spot.  There's nothing left to do but to do it.

 

Go Bills.
