    Buffalo's D is for real, their offense I'm not so sure.
    I expect a low scoring affair.
    Probably like 20-10.
    This weekend we rock Portland

    You never know what to expect (other than a Patriots win)

    Both defenses look good, and the Pats' offense potentially without Edelman (and the C, T, and Develin and Gronk) could be very vulnerable against a good D in hostile territory.  It just seems that a lot of times the Pats stall out against the Bills, but then Belichick/McDaniels find a counter play or something that gashes them for 250 yards in the 2nd half.  The Bills also have a very young MLB (he is 21) and I could see the Pats succeeding in misdirecting him.

    The Bills' offense looks more competent than it has in years, but you have Allen at QB and Belichick's experience in exposing young QBs.  If Singletary doesnt play, the Bills dont really have any sort of playmaker in the backfield.  Frank Gore is 57, and Yeldon is good at fumbling.

    As a Bills fan, it would be a victory to be competitive in this game and prove they can hang with the best.  The upcoming schedule is very manageable and even with a loss, they could realistically head into Thanksgiving 9-2 or 8-3.  That is why this game is huge for New England as well.  If they slip up, they could potentially be sitting behind Buffalo with little room for error well into November, and maybe all the way until they meet in Week 16

    *Bills schedule until Turkey day for reference:
    @tennessee
    Bye
    Miami
    Eagles
    Washington
    @Browns
    @Dolphins
    Broncos

    or its the Bills and they could be 4-8....

    But really though.  I don't think they are top echelon or anything, but they seem to have all 3 of competent coaching, good defense, and non brain-dead offense for the first time in about 20 years.  The schedule seems to be a very favorable storm, especially with Rothlisberger's elbow, Tennessee and the Jets disappointing, the Browns potentially being a dud, the Eagles' attrition, and Miami tanking.... along with the Giants, Redskins, Broncos, and Bengals stinking.

    I expect them to get a wild card and have to travel to either Baltimore, Indy, or Houston, which could actually be winnable to break the 24 year drought without a playoff win (can you imagine that).  Winning at KC or NE in the playoffs Div Round is beyond this team's scope right now.

    So let me get this straight....since AB played in a game and he helped them win. Now if the Patriots win the SB #7 does the buffoon AB gets a ring? Say it ain't so.

    Its up to the team's discretion and since Kraft will be paying for the rings should they win, my guess is no Brown won't get one.

    What you talking about IF-Hilarious?

    The Patriots aren't guaranteed to win anything. They could however make steps towards SB #7 by winning in Buffalo.  Something that's going to be very hard for them to do today. We shall see though.

  • Should be an interesting week off to the west in Buffalo, always a tough place to play. Neither team has played anybody this year, probably cause there’s not many teams to play. It’s a down year for the league with so many good qb’s going down early in the season. And the product is a bit tough to watch with the inclusion of the new rules. 

    The Patriots are a little banged up and they have a tendency to fall victim to blowing a meaningless game or two early in the season playing down to their opponent’s level. They’ve ran all of what seems to be 10 different offensive plays from the playbook thru the first three weeks. They’re coasting. Get Edelman some reps today. I can see the Pats winning big making a statement on the road. Can also see them winning by 4 or losing by 10. That’s why they play the games.
