Division games can be tough

Division games have different dynamics than others. Having to play each other twice a year they get to know each other pretty well. The teams often sign free agents and draft players that will help them to beat the teams in thier division, which is the road to the playoffs. I think if the Pats are going to be upset (not talking about elite teams) in a game this year, it will most likely be a divisional opponent. However......., I actually feel feel bad for Miami this week, the advantage of talent, motivation, structure, and coaching that the Pats enjoy over the Phins is like the lions had over the Christians in the Roman arena.

It's a different animal

The Bills might be a challenge, definitely, and you can’t completely rule out the motivating factor of the humiliated Jets (who were supposed to be exacting revenge on the Pats in week 2.) I’m not even going to try to justify Miami stealing a win against us this season, ’cause so many other things would have to go horribly wrong for that to happen.

Keep the faith!

I agree that the Bills are going to play us hard.

The road to success is always under construction.

They always do. This year, they actually have some firepower.

As Mr. Sloan always says, there is no "I" in team, but there is an "I" in pie. And there's an "I" in meat pie. Anagram of meat is team... I don't know what he's talking about. --Shaun of the Dead

Like I said...

For Miami to win, “so many other things would have to go horribly wrong for that to happen.” Yikes!

Keep the faith!

Back to being underdogs

It’s a different season for a lot of reasons, but for me, it’s great watching Cassel grow and get his shot. If all goes well, he will be a legitimate NFL starter. Not good enough to start in College? Welcome to the show.
