AJE probably going to take the extra time to get ready for next week. JMO.

 

Every team needs a Samoan.

Mijami's little QB has a bit of a problem throwing over defense lines and AJE would be perfect for spiking his ball.

IMO, this game comes down to two things. 

First is play of the offensive line. Barmore completely blew up the middle if the Denver line last week accounting for 3 sacks and a fumble. If Allen has time to throw, he should pick this secondary to pieces.

Second is the creativity of Brady. Pats have a good defense, but they can't cover Diggs AND Davis AND Knox AND Kincaid AND Cook at the same time... if he knows how scheme them open. 

IF the line can give Allen time, I think we could see a repeat of the second Jets game.  If Allen is running for his life, we may see a repeat of the Chargers last week.

I don't wanna overlook the Pats, but come on...we should smash them.

 

the division is ours!

It's a little strange that Jones has a designation of "questionable" when McDermott already said they expect him to play?

Must be in honor of Belichick's possible last game as the Patriots coach.

Their offense vs our defense doesn't scare me.

Their defense vs our offense....that will be a tougher challenge than many anticipate.

The Bills only ever seem to have two types of games: blowouts where they win by three+ scores, or nail biters that make you want to vomit until the final whistle. I'd love one of the former, but I'm bracing for one of the latter.

 

I'm going into this game a lot more worried than I was last week.  Not that I thought we would blow the Chargers out, but I figured it would be a two score win in the end.....maybe 10 or so.  This week, I don't have nearly that same confidence level.  Bracing for another potential disaster.  Guess we'll see.

I’d actually like to see a combo of the passing game clicking to get a big lead and then run it down there throats the remainder of the game. 
 

It would be good to see Diggs having a bigger impact as well and getting Kincaid engaged. And please no more lateral screens to Diggs!

I’m looking for some 12/13 personnel this week, protect Josh, work the middle, ball control nice 28-0 victory.

Bourne is on IR with ACL but they do have Pop Douglas who is pretty good.  Along with Gesicki

 

Yeah, somehow I missed Bourne on their IR.  So Douglas, Geskicki (if one accepts him as a wide receiver), and Parker

Wouldn't we be called for too many men?

 

I realize New England cheats but I don't think that's a good reason for us to.

 

Just saying...

Mac Jones went 25 for 30 for 300 and 2tds 0 ints... literally the game of his career. We pissed down our leg the whole game and still should have won. I dont see Zappe repeating that performance, nor do I see the Bills repeating that horrendous performance at home. Easy win.

I think the Pats winning last week is actually a help to the Bills......they won't be as desperate for an end of season feel-good win.

 

Having said that, the Bills still need to focus on playing a mistake-free game in all 3 phases for this to be an easy win.

[Scott7975]

Im more worried about Baltimore beating Miami than us beating the Pats.  We will beat the Pats. I want the division.

[Beast]

Here’s something weird to think of as well…..the Bills aren’t exactly used to playing at the 1pm time slot. Seems strange to say that.

 

The last time the Bills played at 1pm was when they played at New England on October 22nd.

Depends on how you consider WR perhaps?  Tiktok Boy is actually down on the list for receiving yards.  Rookie Demario Douglas, Kendrick Bourne, and Devante Parker all healthy AFAIK.

Bourne tore ACL and is on IR.  And Ju Ju Smith Schuster will miss 3rd game in a row due to ankle injury.

No kidding.  They knocked the Broncos out of a possible Wild Card spot where they had the tie breaker over us because counting to 11 is very difficult.

Any given Sunday.  The 2023 Bills have proved that.  Weve watched that horror movie too many times. This is a Bills playoff game, and must be approached as such.  Brady better have a great game plan, and Buffalo must play a clean game and play football like Champs.

 

Go Bills!

The sloppy offensive performance vs LA will do that to you.

Whenever i feel nervous about this I remember we have the home field and I relax. At theirs, this is a trap. At home it should be fine

The way I look at it is, if the Bills can't win that game tomorrow, they don't deserve the playoffs anyway.  They need to be all business tomorrow.
