Maybe you are saying the Bills are too one dimensional so the wind hurt them more? Not sure what you’re trying to articulate here. Anyway. Bills are 11th best passing game to NE 15th. Your post about them being one dimensional didn’t hold up. Maybe they will be back to 7 wins next season, who knows. Certainly you didn’t see them making the playoffs this year back in week 1. Now on that you got me I did not see the patriots making the playoffs this year 2 hours ago, BobbyC81 said: Dont sleep on the Jets. They have some good young talent, have a bunch of early round picks and a lot of cap room coming up. We say this every year about the Jets I’m wondering when people will realize that it’s just not going to happen they will end up firing their coach and starting over again before any of their draft picks come to fruition Quote

With Marino even if the Bills were better surely Miami had a fear factor. They had what Colin Cowherd describes as a "knock out punch". Mac Jones can only beat you by being tactically perfect with his jab for 12 rounds and out pointing you. You should beat that fighter 95 times out of 100. 8 hours ago, BobbyC81 said: Dont sleep on the Jets. They have some good young talent, have a bunch of early round picks and a lot of cap room coming up. Do they? Who? Their best young player is Mekhi Becton IMO who I think could be a monster left tackle but it looks like he has fallen out with the front office / coaching staff and could be on the outs. I like Vera-tucker and Moore, they were two good picks last year I think Wilson has shown flashes.... and with Franklin Myers and Huff they have a couple of unheralded guys who have out performed expectations on defense but are not difference makers. I'm just not sure I see them as much further forward. Maybe if they stack another good draft class this year on top of last year's they could be heading somewhere. Quote

FilthyBeast Posted January 11, 2022 Posted January 11, 2022 Patriots will be a threat as long as Belichik is there and even though there's a lot of confidence in the Bills dispatching them on Saturday night they could easily win and make a deep run in the postseason. But at the end of the day I think Jones has hit a rookie wall and he'll probably need to a take another step next year for the Pats to truly be back in the conversation as the leagues elite. Quote

With a rookie QB who had 17 college starts, they went from 7 to 10 wins and made the playoffs. They went completely one dimensional while beating the Bills at home. Yup, just two seasons apparently tells you what the future is going to be for this division. Now whose acting "entitled"?. Edited January 11, 2022 by Ghost_002! Quote

At that time, the Phins had gotten off a 20 year stretch of basically owning the division (a few more losing seasons mixed in there, but they were the nemesis for all AFCE teams, like the Pats were for years). Buffalo got their HOF QB and coach, and assumed control. Miami would always be in the mix, but would generally end up 9-7 or 10-6, and falter in the playoffs. The glory days were long over. Their fans still thought that the Bills were kind of a temporary condition, and that they would assume their "rightful place" before too long. But they never did. That's who the Pats are right now. More reputation than substance. And BB may be going the way of Shula, who looked much less formidable as he got older. The game had passed him by. Belichick's last coaching job against the Bills was a head-scratcher. The only caveat on this is that the Patriots don't have the HOF QB like Miami did. So, they might not fare quite as well. This is our division now. They actually won the division one year but we met them in the AFC Championship game in Miami and rolled them 29-3. It was the Thurman screen game where we screened them to death. 1 Quote

I'm also trying to remember what Berman called Thurman...was it the Thurminator? I remember thinking Miami was always our 1 real threat in the division - but it seemed like every time there was a crucial game, we bested them. Quote

Growing up in those days watching Thurman, Barry, and Emmitt was a golden era of RBs, but IMO Thurman was the best of the 3 because he could play RB, WR, block, and be great at everything. He won league MVP as a RB! People today mention Taylor or Henry as MVP calibur RBs... Thurman was in another universe. Dude could bust a 40 yard run up the middle then go downfield and catch a 30 yard pass down the sideline as a WR! Edited January 11, 2022 by TheFunPolice 1 Quote

TheBrownBear Posted January 12, 2022 Posted January 12, 2022 No. The Pats are the 1998 Buffalo Bills. 17 years of misery on the horizon. They just don't realize it yet. 1 Quote

This is our division now. Totally agree overall but I still think belichick is getting a lot out of a roster without that much talent. Granted he’s the gm too so I guess the limited talent is on him too 😂 1 Quote
