Buffalo Baumer Posted October 28, 2005 Posted October 28, 2005 There really could not be a more fitting atmosphere for the Bills this weekend than at the stadium that has haunted them for years. Not only has Buffalo been on the losing end for the better part of four years, they have been completely dominated! There are so many factors that stack up against the Bills this weekend that even the most optimistic fan has got to have his/her doubts. Here are just a few in no particular order: the Patriots have had two weeks to prepare coming off their bye week, Ted Bruschi is making his courageous comeback from a stroke which will be a huge lift emotionally, Corey Dillon has had two weeks to rest his leg, Richard Seymour will be back in the lineup (watch out) and finally, it is Sunday NIGHT in Foxboro. These are factors that do not even include the laundry list of problems on the Bills side of the ball. I guess the one positive the Bills have on their side is that the ENTIRE team was able to take last week off against the Raiders in order to get some rest. Ok Ok, they did show up for the first series of the game. The Bills had a real chance of proving that they were a team to be dealt with last week and they fell flat on their faces. Now they are staring down the barrel of the gun known as the New England Patriots. Can you even remember the last time that the Pats lost two games in a row? How about December 22nd 2002!!!!!! If you think that the Bills have been hit hard in the injury department, take a quick look at the Patriots lineup. If this is the most vulnerable the Pats have been in years and nobody but the players inside the Bills locker room believe they have a chance on Sunday night, what does that say about the talent on our team? I don't know about the rest of you out there, but I for one want to see if this team that the great fans of Buffalo have backed through thick and thin is capable of showing some heart on the national stage known as ESPN Sunday Night Football. I want to know what they are made of deep inside. If there was ever a chance to go out there with 'the world against us' attitude, the chance is now. If I was Ralph Wilson, I would take a good hard look at this game and see who REALLY wants to be part of this team in the future. I am not saying they have to come out of Foxboro with a victory but I damn well better see an effort worthy of a hard fought battle. I really want to believe that this team has got something to prove but it is hard gage the talent when the only victories over the past two years have been against lesser opponents. Can you remember the last time the Bills went out and beat a contender? Would it not be gratifying if these guys went into a game that they were supposed to lose and turned the season around in an instant with a victory? We can all hope can't we? That is why they play the game. I believe that the Bills will hang around in the first half of this game and then the Band-Aids that are covering so many parts of our offensive and defensive lines will fall apart once again. The Patriots will officially separate themselves from the rest of the AFC East as Tom Brady and company will show everyone once again why their players and coaches rise to the occasion every time they are called upon. Prediction Patriots 31 Bills 6 Season Prediction Record 3-4 (Sound Familiar?) Don't worry, if things get too scary in this game, you can take comfort that Vampire Bats will be airing at 9pm EST!!! Hopefully the game won't be THAT bad...
