FUCK THE PATRIOTS

ME AT THE PATS GAME 2 YEARS AGO SON
by steve

But I digress. Alright, this is Superbowl 29 for the Buffalo Bills. Sure we lost 25-28, embarrassingly for the most part, but this is where the franchise known as the Buffalo Bills can completely reverse the course it seems to be destined for, failure.

Sure the line has gone up and up and presently sits at 16 points. And sure the Patriots cheated er have "won" 3 Super Bowls this decade and everyone loves Tom Brady and is a heterosexual. Alright well most of those things are true but if the Bills some how upset the Patriots at home on Sunday Night Football in their own barn WITHOUT Marshawn Lynch ending the Gaytriot's dreams of an undefeated season it would be like winning the Super Bowl. Or about as close as the Bills will get for the foreseeable future.

I personally am not anticipating an upset of magnificent proportions, mostly because you can't predict things like that. However, if there was a money line available to bet on I surely would throw a few bucks on it. Crazier shit has happened, has it not? This is the NFL where allegedly any team could win on any given Sunday yadda yadda yadda. Look at the Cowboys MNF game, 11+ point under dogs...

Here's why it could happen...

• The Patriots are coming off a bye. They were the hottest most dominant team for 9 straight weeks. They got a 13 day layoff to think about it, cool down, get too comfortable.
• New England is due to lose. No one can be that good for that long, hopefully.
• Their linebackers are older than dust. This deep in a grueling NFL season, those old MFers have got to be sore. Junior Seau is older than our entire linebacking core combined for Christ's sake.
• Larry Maroney has 417 yards and 0 touchdowns. He isn't good and Sammy Morris is worse.
• The Bills actually have depth at running back. Sure Marshawn Lynch is a perennial hall of famer but we still have Fred Jackson and and and .. Anthony Thomas! Yeah, hopefully Dwayne Wright gets most of the carries and shows he is worth a 4th round draft pick.
• This will be Randy Moss' first true cold weather game. Sure he usually tears it up on a big stage but it will be below freezing and he is a pussy.
• JP Losman has never played in a prime time game. So we don't have any history of sucktatude and idiot/erratic play yet. Maybe he doesn't suck in big games, because to be honest he hasn't seen a game this big in his career and he actually played admirably in the Titans game week 16 last year.
• This is a free game for the Bills. There really shouldn't be any pressure on them to win. Everyone circled this as a loss. Actually the pressure is on the Patriots and their perfect season.
  
• PLUS There is always that chance Brady gets injured too..

Prediction
Look for the Bills to keep the audience tuned in until the 2nd half. Unless the special teams goes nuts and Brady turns into Romo circa week 5 this one won't come down to a score late in the 4th quarter.

Bills 9 Patriots 28 (Keeping it under 20 which is all I'm hoping for, but not covering the spread)

Next week is hugggggggggge "Playoffs?!?"
