It's really not a great rivalry though.

Bills have only beaten us like twice in 15 years lol.

I definitely think it'll be close...

Honestly @Kon

Score will be like 31-28 or 21-17... I don't see it being a blowout at all.

Bills have played us pretty tough over the years, but they rarely win.

Jets and Miami always seem to steal a game from us though.

I honestly wouldn't be that shocked if the Bills won and then got steamrolled at Gillette. Pats usually lose a game or two in the AFC East.

But yea I wouldn't consider Bills/Pats a rivalry when Brady is 23-2 against them or something like that. The rivalry is more Pats vs Rex and that rivalry only exists because of the Jets beating the Pats in the playoffs.

I'm worried about the Pats young O-line vs the Bills scary D-line but then again Brady was getting rid of the ball in something crazy like 1.8 seconds on average last week(someone timed it), he's gonna need to do that again.

Interested to see how the Cowboys offense looks tomorrow without Dez. I think we'll be fine though. Offensively, our WR corp just needs to step up & not make the little mistakes that we made last week vs the Giants (including the TE's). Also, despite people freaking out that we only rushed for 80 yards last week, we ran the ball efficiently. We went away from the run because it was a really flukey game & we saw ourselves down by 2 possessions late in the game. Falcons rushed for over 100 yards against the Eagles last week so we should be able to have some success on the ground.

Defensively, we gotta keep Sproles in check, especially on 3rd down. Every time he touches the ball, that guy is a threat to score or get a big gain. Also, we gotta put some pressure on Bradford, that's going to be hard without Gregory or Hardy but still possible with Mincey, Crawford & Lawrence. Bradford showed last week he can make some erratic throws while under pressure.

I really want to see the Pats defense step up, especially the front 7. There's NO WAY they're as bad as they played against the Steelers...

Ninkovich and Chandler Jones did awful at setting the edge, which is something they're normally great at.

I understand the pass rush deal though... They wanted to contain Big Ben, so they weren't pass rushing him, but idk, I just expected more.

I think Malcolm Butler played pretty well against Antonio Brown too. He got beat on two throws, but the rest of the game, he really was all over Brown... Brown just made some ridiculous f---ing catches on Butler...

Didn't you guys lose Easley too? That sucks...

 

Sep 19, 2015

I liked Easley because of the depth, plus his ability to penetrate the line... Really sucks.

Pats front 7 have so much depth, it's pretty crazy. The thing is, Malcolm Brown is a rookie, so he's going to have some issues until probably mid-season.

Malcolm Butler has really impressed me though. I know Brown put up like 130 yards on him, but man, Butler's coverage was so good... As high as I was on Butler, I was really nervous he was going to get dusted lol

I have no faith that Easley will ever stay healthy. The injury he had last week was just sad, looked like an old mans hip going out.

I wanted the Cowboys to draft Easley so bad in 2014. The dude has a great motor & is so explosive off the snap. Health is the only issue for him & is really the only reason he didn't get selected higher in that draft.

Yeah, Butler did fine last week. He had a huge task at hand being put across Antonio Brown but very rarely did I see him out of position or anything. Ben & Brown just have incredible chemistry.

EDIT: also, 3 of Brown's catches on Butler + the TD came on that final drive when the Pats were up by 14 which was pretty much garbage time.

 

Sep 19, 2015

For losing Browner and Revis, I actually like our cornerbacks right now... Kind of weird. I think Butler had a bright future...

He reminds me a LOT of Asante Samuel.

Asante was like a 5th round pick, and he just had that cockiness, like Butler has.

Butler seriously believes he's like Revis, which he's definitely not, but he has that attitude that you need as a corner..

But, in saying that, the success really depends on the front 7. They have so much d--- talent... Their performance against the Steelers was awful, especially Ninkovich and Chandler Jones, who are usually so good against the run... They looked awful.
