Week 4: New England Patriots (1-2) @ Buffalo Bills (2-1)

[muggins]

Welp, the game is here again. I really wish the Patriots hadn't had the game they just did. Belicheat is gonna be pissed. Babies for breakfast gameday morning.

It'll be an interesting game. Our DBs have not played well and I think Brady will probably light them up for a huge game. If we can get pressure on Brady, though, perhaps that'll help a lot. His Oline hasn't played too well this year and our DLine has played well.

CJ Spiller may play this game and Fred Jackson will likely play. I hope they don't come out too early and hurt themselves further. That said, the Bills need to run the ball and commit to it.

I don't make predictions but this game has me on edge. It'd be sweet to get out 3-1 and have the Patriots at 1-3.

Would the Bills winning class as an upset? I can see them making it difficult for the Patriots, and as you mentioned the D-Line needs to go after Brady from the get go.

Close game, and I hope the Bills come out on top.

If Spiller was to play I would pick Bills no doubt but I gotta go with the Pats

If our defense play like they did last game it should be close. I've said it last year and ill say it again this year we may be witnessing the beginning of the end for Brady. Not saying within the next 3 years but maybe four or five. He is not the same quarterback we have seen over the last decade. If our d-line makes pressure we could hold our own against this offense.

The key for the Bills is to put pressure on Brady because one thing we know for sure is that once Brady feels the heat he doesn't quite get happy feet but he does make some hair trigger decisions that often don't work. If the Bills can put on a consistent pass rush which allows the secondary to catch up after being beaten in coverage than I think they've got a decent shot.

If Spiller and Jackson are 100% or at the very least close to it than the offense should be more balanced and Fitzpatrick will be able to play within himself. One thing the Bills did well against the Patriots last year was use the screen game which they've utilized a bit this year but not nearly to the same effect. I fully expect to see 3-4 screens in this one.

I still think the win the Bills had last year was one of the luckiest wins I've ever seen, and until they legitimately outplay the Patriots in a game, I'm going to expect the Patriots to win by multiple scores every time.

The real refs are back so Pats 27-17. The real ones wait until the playoffs to screw them over. No Hernandez is a big loss but no Spiller is an even bigger loss.

Last I heard Spiller has a good chance of playing.

Man I don't want to hear about the refs screwing over the Patriots, lol. Remember the "just give it to them" game when Bledsoe threw a hail mary and they called PI and gave the game to the Patriots? Still bitter about that one. Wade P was pretty pissed

It would be very cool to have the Bills sitting on top at 3-1 while the Pats inspire media panic with a 1-3 start...

But, as long as Brady gets thrown around like a chew toy, the end result to me is secondary...

Go Bills!

That was such a great game. Probably one of the best Bills wins of the last decade. ...

It's all about our defensive line. They get home, we have a puncher's chance. They don't, we'll, let's just say I'm not convinced about this team yet. That's going to be a theme all year until we put together a full season.

Patriots need to win so people can hate us for our dominance instead of what we used to be.

New England 0 - Buffalo 99

1-3 and last in the division.

Re: Week 4: New England Patriots (1-2) @ Buffalo Bills (2-1)

Rumor over on the Bills message boards is that both Freddy and CJ have a legitimate chance of playing.

Re: Week 4: New England Patriots (1-2) @ Buffalo Bills (2-1)

Mario Williams is just in horrible need for a monster game... With how beat up the Pats Oline is, this might be the week. IF they can pressure Brady they'll come away with the W. NE's defense started out strong this season, but is looking downright awful now.

That being said, Patriots going 1-3? I wish...

Patriots over Bills 30-16
