Bills/Patriots issues

Bills/Patriots issues Looking forward to this game this weekend. I absolutely understand the point spread of NE -3.5 to -4. I think the Bills have alot of value in this game. A couple of reasons why I like the Bills: 1. Without Hernandez, Edelman and a banged up Gronk, they are definitely short here in the passing game. Granted, Welker and Lloyd pretty good! 2. I think there seems to be a good chance that Spiller and Jackson will play for the Bills. Perhaps they're banged up but I think they will help in a big way. 3. Fitz I think hasn't been sacked. Bills are getting great OL play so far although alot of Spiller's yards vs. Jets were in garbage time and wins only vs. KC and Cleveland. 4. The DL has recorded a number of sacks last 2 weeks. This is a huge strength on the Bills although people knocking it. This is a big game for them. Patriots have struggled in their OL as well. 5. Logan Mankins on the Questionable list. That was news to me today. Actually, I'm going to say this is a significant injury if he doesn't play. 6. Always a tough place to play in Buffalo even when they're bad. Bills even cut Moorman their punter this week not happy with his job. Perhaps the moment is too big hard to grasp the Pats losing 3 games in a row but that is the way it goes. Let's face it. The mystique is totally off this team losing to Arizona at home, losing the SB, blowing the lead vs. Baltimore. Give me a break this team will fight to win half its games. Fire the coach, get a QB and a new PK! Well, maybe not that bad but I like the Bills.

Mankins was out. But the Pats record over 200 yds on the ground in this game. What in the world is Wannstedt doing here? The Bills have top talent on their DL and yet this is a clear weakness of the team. I don't think he does any blitzing at all and Brady isn't touched all day except maybe once for a sack. To me the talent level is just too high for me to believe it is the athletes here but 2 of them are signed to big contracts with guaranteed money and the others top draft picks. They did get 9 sacks in the 2 previous games but that type of yardage chewed up on the ground against you indicates a huge problem. Totally wrong on my bet here. The Bills up 21-7 looked like they might have control of this game but the yardage the Pats chewed up on the ground without their premier OG was surprising to me and even with a 2 TD lead it just seemed precarious. Once again Fitz just too many INT although a couple were late when they were behind I think and they did take the lead and overcome his early interceptions. The Bills OL has done a good job as he hasn't been sacked much so I'm not sure why so many picks other than he's making mistakes. The Spiller fumble was not helpful to say the least but the Bills did later get a 2 TD lead. Hard to say that was a turning point. The Bills have beaten the Browns and Chiefs and it is looking like the Chiefs are just really bad. It was always assumed the Browns were bad. Always outplayed by their divison opponents it seems the Bills really an atrocious loss here.
