I am as die hard Buffalo Bills fan as you will ever meet (sorry to say) and you would be insane to bet the Bills in this game. I post on Bills boards so I know this team inside and out. We are going to be terrible this year, and I do mean TERRIBLE. If it wasnt for my fear of burning in hell, i would bet the hell out of the Patriots....Where to start....
The Bills offense: The Bills starting unit failed to score 1 offensive TD in the preseason. The Bills offensive line is COMPLETELY reshuffled. Our RG is a rookie who will be seeing his first game, along with our LG. Our center is back-up guard from the Panthers. We just let Langston Walker go (the only player on our team with LT starting experience) and will have another rookie, Demetrius Bell, start in his place. Demetrius will bea solid player in the future, but is a project. He was taken in the 7th round last year, and impressed some coaches. He missed 15 games due to injury, and did not play in the only game he dressed for. Our line as struggled for YEARS against the 3-4 and now we have a completely inexperienced line trying to do the job. Lynch is suspended. Freddy Jackson is solid and will start, but after him Xavier Omon averages hardly 2 yards a carry and hasnt shown me hes capable of anything. For some dumb effing reason, the bills let dominic rhodes go. WR is the only strength on this team, but with the lack of protection, Trent will be forced to go with his usual small dump of gains that wont amount to crap. The fact that we wont be able to run the ball wont help that at all.
Bills Defense: The Bills defense showed once again its failure to get pressure on the QB this preseason. Rookie Aaron Maybin showed some positve signs that he could be a force in the future, however his lack of size and run stoping ability makes him a situational rusher only. You cannot give Tom Brady 4 clean seconds to throw the ball. You simply cannot. This is one of the major reasons the Pats have owned us for years. No pressure on Tom. We get hardly an edge rush, and when we do, theres no pressure up the middle so Tom will just step up and find someone. Our CBs are decent (Mckelvin and Mcgee) however lack of size matched up on Moss concerns me. Our safetys are jokes. We passed on Ngata in the draft for Whitner and guess who has more interceptions? Yup a freaking DT.....
I can go on. The only edge we have is on special teams...however you guys get the point. The Pats have absolutely owned us for years and we're even worse now. This spread should seriously be at least 17 and i personally think we'll lose by 21 or more....hope I could help...as you can see, us Bills fans are optimistic.....GL all
