Buffalo is Bizzaro Carolina

I just finished watching the Patriots at Bills game from Sunday.

 

I gotta tell you, I feel exactly like I just watched a Carolina game.

 

Buffalo:

 

- Good performance from QB with a mistake here or there thrown in. Had a really good run to keep a drive alive.

- One shifty RB, one bruiser RB

- Offensive line suspect at times

- Overall good defense that got winded late in the game and allowed a game winning drive with big plays downfield

- Bone headed mistakes that can't be explained. For instance, kickoff return getting bobbled and accidentally stepping out of the end zone, ball on the 10. This could have been the difference in the game.

- Offense looks lost and defeated in the 4th quarter.

 

All in all they did some things right, they just don't know how to win.

 

I am now feeling like this game in Buffalo will go into overtime with the winner being the team that doesn't fug up.

These teams are very similar.  I think our DL and their DL are strengths too, and both have secondaries that are weak (at least they can blame injuries).

 

I think, however, our DL puts more pressure on the rookie QB and that leads to more mistakes. 

 

The Patriots aren't that good. 

 

I see Carolina 34-17 based on the injuries to the Buffalo secondary and the fact that we are facing a QB who was inconsistent in college playing his second pro game.

I thought the exact same thing when I watched them. Remind me a lot of us.

I watched the condensed version from nfl network last night myself.

I came away with the impression that we should beat them handily quite honestly.

Also think the Patriots are going to have the worst year they have had in a long time and might even miss the playoffs.

The only way the Patriots miss the playoffs is if Brady gets hurt, and even then they'd have a shot.

 

The AFC East division is absolute garbage. They could have gone 8-8 last year and made the playoffs.

    • Right I need to grow up because you got..... a single poo emoji pot meet kettle.
    • @PantherChrisgrow the fug up.  We read you whine and bitch about so much all the time, let someone have their own take on things instead of being a petulant child.
    • Florida is the only team that would be doing that to us, and it happens when we are down Chatty, Walker isn't 100% and our top players are being molested in plain view on the ice. Florida is bigger and just as fast as we are, they have the two biggest agitating arseholes in the NHL in Marchand and Tkachuk, have a solid coach and a lot of nice pieces that make that team the best in the East by a good margin this year and possibly back to back Cup champions.  I fail to mention Zito who has been aggressive in getting Marchand and Seth Jones plus other players at the deadline to fill in any weaknesses. We have taken the long term, we have a shot every year approach and keep coming up short.  This is the summer to come away with the last needed pieces and if that takes sacrificing some prospects and picks we have to do it.  We have Freddie who is a very good goalie, but I still think young Kooch needs more time - he shows flashes but he still isn't right between the ears yet. This is definitely it for Orlov, not sure about Burns although he has looked it the last half of the season.  It would be nice to be able to get rid of KK somehow.  Svech has never become the guy I thought he'd be so a pure scorer would be nice.  I still like where this organization is EVEN with RBA coaching.  Do we discredit everything the guy has done in years where we weren't supposed to make the playoffs let alone win some series etc??  We need a bit more size, but I like we added Walker, Carrier, and Robinson who all had some good experience and didn't mind showing some grit.  Who's Back:    Forwards:  Aho, Svech, Jarvy, Blake, Hall, Carrier, Staal, Marty, Stankoven (need to sign to a bridge at least), KK  (really need to trade him this summer or next year for sure, his NMC kicks in 26-27) Defensemen:  Slavin, Walker, Chatty, Ghost, Nikishin, Morrow Goalies:  Freddy, Koochy Potential: Forwards:   Nadeau (he was like a -20 in Chicago so he'll have to really earn Rod's trust), Robidas, FUS didn't have a great season, Bring back Roslovic?, Jost for cheap?? Defensemen:  Technically Nikishin and Morrow, but I have them replacing Orlov and Burns above, Honka, Probably will sign one who plays good D and doesn't break the bank Goalies:  Khazheyev?, Sign one possibly?? tl;dr:  Bottom line is we are definitely going to need to sign a Defenseman or two, and 2-3 Forwards with 2 being scorers and hopefully taller than 6'0".  We have really good depth at forward, we are thinning out at D, and our goalies.....I am just not sure.
