Week 7 Bills @ Pats

[TeddysBonefish]

I have never started a game thread. The Pats may not win another game this season. So what the hell. Have at it. Let’s ride on the winds of improbability and dance with Mac’s happy feet. “Spear shall be shaken, shield shall be splintered, a sword-day, a red day, ere the sun rises!”

 

[Pandemonium67]

I figure the Pats are going to really suck this year, but along the way they'll pull off a shocker or two. Maybe this week will be one.

Let's go back to one of the poems that inspired Tolkien ... and perhaps will inspire the Patriots:

“Thought must be the harder, heart be the keener,
mind must be the greater, while our strength lessens.

just took a look at tix prices on secondary market ...wow...have never seen them this low ...many under $!00

 

[GPO Man]

Bills at 8.5 favorites is kind of a joke. Wonder if it will move to 10.

 

[FlexFlexerson]

Under all beauty that I know,
All vital dreams,
Sharp loveliness,
Under the hair, the lips of laughter,
The dusk-dim eyes of pain,
Lurks the single thing I fear,
Hard-mouthed, implacable-eyed,
The monster,
The satyr-thing, futility.

You’d have to pay me to waste a nice fall Sunday sitting in traffic, just to pay $16 a beer to watch this team get pummeled. I can curse at Belichick for free from my couch.

[Rico Guapo]

Feels bad but I hope the Pats lose every remaining game on the schedule including tomorrow. There is no fixing this train wreck in season, they don't have the talent on the roster to compete, get the best draft position possible.

 

[Dr. Gonzo]

Win

 

[Eck'sSneakyCheese]

It feels like the late 80’s/early 90’s are having another resurgence but the Pats didn’t have to play along. Anyone else at QB please.

 

[JOBU]

There’s a game today. Might as well lose it.

 

[PayrodsFirstClutchHit]

First time since 2001 the Pats have been more than a TD underdog at home. -7.5 still seems like free money taking the Bills.

4 straight over the Pats by double digits. First time in franchise history. After 20 years of unprecedented highs, the lows keep on coming.

My buddy who has season tickets posted a picture of the parking lot at ~9:30 and it was nearly empty.

 

[Ale Xander]

Pairs down to $60 on Ticketmaster

wow
That’s like a 70% reduction from Labor Day

 

[brandonchristensen]

12-5 is still very much on the table.

For the Bills from Buffalo yes. Not for Bill’s Pats I’m sorry to say

INACTIVES

QB Malik Cunningham
WR Kayshon Boutte
WR JuJu Smith-Schuster
T Calvin Anderson
LB Josh Uche
DE Keion White
Will Grier — Emergency Third Quarterback

 

[Ale Xander]

They’re going with 4 WR?

 

[Pandemonium67]

Ick. Cunningham, Boutte, Uche and White are four of the guys I most want to watch.

Is Pop Douglas playable?

 

[Cellar-Door]

They’re going with 4 WR?

Parker, Bourne, Thornton, Douglas, Reagor is 5

 

[Ale Xander]

Thanks forgot about Reagor

 

[joe dokes]

Probably going try to listen while doing yard stuff. Over/under on Zolak making me switch to music is 10 minutes.

He's become the giy in the bar watching the game that will make you give up bars and watching.

 

[brandonchristensen]

Is Boutte injured? What’s up with sitting healthy people all the time if not? Uche was ignored for years for some reason. Bill just likes to wait until their contract is almost up before using a player so if they’re good, they’re already on the cusp of being too expensive.

You nailed it. This is exactly how he became the greatest NFL coach of all time.

 

[azsoxpatsfan]

I’m in the covent garden/soho area of London. Anyone have any suggestions for where to watch this game?

Thank you. I've been known to make astute observations.

The casinos in the Liecester Square/Picadilly Circus show the games. When I watched a game at the Hippodrome Casino a few years back they had mini-rooms for each game that was on.

 

[kartvelo]

It must be tough for Jeter to drive that Wagoneer from one place to another making only right turns.

 

[kartvelo]

Dante in the house. C'mon down to the field.

 

[Was (Not Wasdin)]

Sooooooo many empty seats.

The London sights around there would probably be more entertaining for a Pats fan, sad to say.

Malik, we hardly knew ya....

 

[tims4wins]

Cunningham being inactive a week after being the number two just wreaks of this team not having any kind of plan on offense. It's pathetic IMO.

Wonder how active this gamethread will be. O/U on Bills lead by halftime? I'll set it at 13.5

 

[OnWisc]

How in the world are we on national tv again? Waited half a decade for Sunday Ticket to move off DirecTV, shelled out the cash, and I’ve barely needed it. And during a season where the games largely shouldn’t be televised anywhere, period.

 

[johnmd20]

Starting with the ball. Over/under time left in the quarter before the punt?

13:58

 

[Reverend]

At this point, I’m mostly watching out of morbid curiosity; I find a Belichick team this shitty to be intrinsically fascinating.

 

[Ale Xander]

Why is he sliding?

Being incredibly shitty is much more interesting than medioce.

 

[OnWisc]

Been a lot of similarities between the Badgers and the Pats this season, Wisconsin finally put a few things together in the fourth quarter yesterday. Maybe that’ll happen here, too.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Nice Pop!

 

[heavyde050]

Pop then Mac - wow, a first down!

 

[E5 Yaz]

Why is he sliding?

To avoid getting his bell rung ... again ... I'd guess

 

[Obscure Name]

Why is he sliding?

No point in getting injured.

 

[OnWisc]

Why is he sliding?

Wendell Kim

 

[ngruz25]

Finally wearing the silver pants with the home blues. They should never wear anything else.

 

[Mantush]

I like what they are doing so far
