Expand We are objectively good. We should have won all 3 of our first games and honestly we did it in exactly the way this team is built We're a playoff contender, but not a super bowl contender.

nfreeman Posted September 25, 2019 Report Posted September 25, 2019 The Pats will probably win, but maybe not. Sooner or later, every dog has its day. And if it's close in the 2nd half, and the Bills sack Brady on 3rd down, or lay a big hit on someone to force a fumble or an interception, or score to tie the game or get within 3 -- at that moment in time, there will be no place on earth as awesome to be as the Ralph. 2

Also, it is stunning how dreadful the video player is on the Bills' site. It is simply impossible to watch anything there. Expand The Cheatriots are far more beatable in September than they are later in the year. They're missing their FB and the WRs are banged up, including Edelman. If White can shut down Gordon, they've got a shot. Wouldn't put money on the Bills, and it is a monumental task to win this week, but it is possible. Charlie's 15% chance seems about right.

I don't think most people think we're actually going to win this game. And going into it at 3-0 makes it as un-stressful as possible. All that article tells me is that underlying metrics actually favor this bills team more than hot start teams of the past
