Buffalo is Bizzaro Carolina

Recommended Posts

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.

    • To kick this up, The Athletic has a really comprehensive piece out where pretty much all QB questions are addressed. It is worth seeing.  https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7083539/2026/03/04/starting-quarterback-projections-free-agency-draft/?source=user_shared_article I’m putting something specific here but it should have a thread or something. It is an extensive exercise.  This is a dense write up with a lot of column inches used, about the Jets and Murray and Reich, all this stuff.. then it goes to backup QB and there is Dalton.  I am pasting that part: As for Dalton, Reich is installing the offense he was trying to run in Carolina in 2023 before he got fired, and Dalton was with the Panthers then; he’s an ideal option as a veteran backup to replace Taylor. Reich said this about Dalton in 2023: “The way he's throwing the football, the way he works through progressions, the way he handles the operation. … Since day one (when) he walked in the door, I'm like, 'This guy is starter-worthy.' You guys know I've said that all along. He's, in my opinion, one of the best 32 quarterbacks in the world.” ——— That’s true love lol. I never heard any of this. Pretty crazy I think, considering how the year went.   Anyway the dream is not dead. . 
    • The Seahawks traded for wide receiver/returner Rashid Shaheed at the trade deadline. He proved to be a key acquisition. Shaheed returned a punt and a kickoff for touchdowns in the regular season and had a 95-yard kickoff return in the postseason. Shaheed, though, is scheduled for free agency. So, the 12 games he played, including the postseason, might be the extent of his time in Seattle. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Shaheed and the Seahawks are not close to an extension, and the expectation is that the two-time Pro Bowler will hit free agency. Shaheed has 153 receptions for 2,243 yards and 12 touchdowns in his four-year career to go along with three punt return touchdowns and a kickoff return touchdown. He ranks 13th on PFT’s top-100 free agents. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/report-rashid-shaheed-appears-headed-to-free-agency
