December 6, 2021 Gameday Bills vs. Patriots* Pregame Thread

[H2o]

33 degrees with 42mph wind gusts and sustained wind around 25mph. Hopefully Josh is clicking on those short to intermediate routes tonight. We know what NE is gonna be doing, running the football with Harris and Stevenson.

Bills win in lopsided fashion I'm feeling good.

I like what you're saying.  I think we win this one easily.  If we don't win it easily, but win, I'll be ok with that.  If we lose, then I'll be disappointed.  If I thought we'd lose, and they do, I'd be disappointed too.  Never like to lose.  Go Bills!!!

Just go out and kick their ass.  Time to end the Belichick reign for good.

How is Dugger not officially ruled out yet? 

FWIW: According to the Game day thread on the Pats board Dugger's backup on the practice squad was on the plane to Buffalo. No word in if Dugger was on...but even of he clears I wouldn't think he plays with zero practice or game prep this week.

As a followed rule, players who aren’t playing don’t travel with the team..

And throwing behind the line of scrimmage to bolden.

When you say intermediate I hope you mean 10-12 yards. Anything beyond that will be blown away.

Somebody just find Kyle Williams, give him the ball and let him do his impersonation of a bull dozer tonight!!!!  🤪

Dugger would not have been able to be on the plane. He would need to be flown in separately if he clears late (see Big Ben a couple weeks ago)

If we lose this one, for me that's the season, right there, we'll be a continual question mark on the what if we had drafted a running back for power game.  What if we had found a larger body in the trenches to stop the run?  It'll be the game which defines whether we are truthfully a force in the AFC or if we need to start answering question marks over staff, players, and mindset.  

And if the Bills win tonight?

Yeah. No need to get bowled over by the wind reports...this weather should be a breeze.

My prediction for this game is based on the intensity/focus levels the bills will have

 

If the bills come out with the intensity and focus they had against the Chiefs, the bills win this game by 10+ points

 

If the bills have zero intensity and or let little mistakes rattle them I expect a game similar to the colts game

I agree with this take. The team's intensity and focus has wavered all year long, maybe the product of a soft schedule. I was glad to see the focus return in the Saints game; haven't really seen that since the matchup against the Chiefs, or maybe the Titans. If their head is in it, they're better than pretty much anyone, even without White and even with the weather.
