Glorious game!! Maybe the best Bills game ever. 

I actually flew into Buffalo for that game for the first in person game in my adult life, and my first postseason ever. It was freezing, and it was glorious!

Elam activated off of IR, interesting.  I thought that empty roster spot would have been used with Daquan

Passing short on the early downs - use the boundary in those 3x1 sets, Kincaid over the middle, easy stuff like that.  Put them in tricky positions on 2nd down.  

 

I also like the idea of bringing in some of the spread formation stuff (even in a 12 personnel grouping) - Bill hates when Allen runs so he tends to not rush too deep and lets the stunts and DTS get pressure up the middle, so put some extra people down field and try and high low some of the backers.  Mix in a no huddle look here and there after a successful play to prevent bill from getting creative.  Switch from spread to a 2 TE look on 2nd and 3, no substitutions and you can either run or PA.  

Kincaid?  Who’s that?  😢

I believe I heard Banged Up Bills speculate it would be a full 21 days before Jones was ready given the injury. He’s also 31, they may ramp him up slower.

From what I had heard, the target date was for his return was Week 18

has Bailey Zappe had a game against a McD defense? He tends to eat rookie/inexperienced QBs for breakfast.

Sure looked that way last week

We will know that it's a good game for the Bills when the ***** gets thrown on the field

Think Bill Belichick isn't looking to prevent the Bills from winning the AFC EAST crown🤔. Hope McDermott has the team focused and the Bills play a CLEAN game. No TOs or stupid penalties. Control Barmore

Agree on these. This iteration of the Patriots are similar to the Jets in that you just need to take what the defense gives you and don't turn it over and you'll win a nice boring 24-10 type game. Belichick wants to bait you into taking big shots and that's where they'll pick him off or at least make enough defensive stops to give his offense a chance to get lucky.

Here is that clip:
 

 

His tales are almost everything a lot of people in here say the day after a Bills loss and they are also everything others get flamed for saying two days after that same loss. The difference is we are fans and will always come back to the love we have for the team. This dude sticks to his "facts".

What metric are you using to qualify this? 
 

they are #1 in ypc, but not in yards per game (2nd to Chicago). I wouldn’t say they are by far the best in the league.

 

They are very good against the run.  3.2 yard per carry is a good stat.  Sure a lot better than Denver at 5.1.

This is going to be the first game in a long while where I'm going to have to head out to a sports bar, or connect with some half-a$$ illegal internet feed if I want to see the game live. LOL

quite honestly, they're not half-assed anymore. I watch the whole game in HD with the only thing being it's about 30 seconds behind. it used to be pop up hell and very unreliable. not anymore.

The Pats have the number one pass D in the NFL. I don't see them being very successful running the ball. In this game, the Bills will have to successfully pass the ball. Run the ball to keep them honest. 

Fix the first sentence

Thanks for the info....on the couch I'll be! LOL

 

Re the time delay: this is something really weird that I've noticed throughout this year....we get the Red Zone through our Comcast cable subscription, and the Red Zone channel is about 30-45 seconds AHEAD of what the networks are feeding out on their channels for the same game (this is on the same system, just me changing channels to the Red Zone sometimes when I'm mainly watching one game on Fox or CBS).

Gabe has to APPEAR again this week. Belichick will try to take away Diggs on offense. It would be nice to see the PHYSICAL Bills show up and run the ball down their throats

Gotta wear my GD13 jersey I got for Christmas while he’s still on the team!

IMO, Terrel Bernard's ankle is a critical body part for the team.  He's become that important to their game.
