I say Buff. because if they can beat the Pats this Sunday and we roll into NE and do the same, we could be 2 games ahead of the Pats if we beat the Rams like we should. Either way, we win, we gain a game on someone
came in here to post this there's a good chance we could end up tied with one of those teams. this would give us a better chance at the tie breaker.
definately root for the Bills. I hate the Pats more than anything in the world. Plus it lowers their confidence coming off a tough loss to a division rival into a short week to face us. thats better for us, regardless of divsional records at this point. Go Bills!
The Bills make more sense to me. We have beaten the Bills in Buffalo. The Pats beat the Jets in NY. This is a very important game to both teams. What I'm really hoping for is a brutal physical game, Where both teams get beat up. No one hurt badly just physically abused. Then the Pats have to play a few days later not healed yet.
I have to say, while I understand why everyone is quick to root for Buffalo, I'm not sure I agree. For one thing, the argument that we already beat Buffalo but lost to NE is weaker than it initially appears because head to head tie breakers against division opponents are meaningless until the two teams have played TWICE. Also, if Buffalo beats NE this sunday than NE will be desperate for a win (having lost two straight and having been dropped a game out of first place) and will be primed to give a big effort on thursday, in their building, as their season could be on the line. Also, I just don't see NE losing three straight games and two straight division games at home, at least not without a serious effort from the Jets. Are we good enough to beat them in this scenario? Yes, I think we are. Would we? I'm just not sure but I would feel better about the game if both teams were 6-3 heading into thursday night. Although, I am curious to see what the majority of people think. I would guess that most people would say Buffalo. (Also, let me add that I hate NE a thousand times more than I hate the Bills. But then again, who doesn't?)
Ah yes, being 2 games ahead of the Pats with a 7-3 record and a 3-1 division record would be a glorious scenario. Sign me up. Let's go Buff-a-lo
Buffalo, we have already lost one to NE. If they beat us in two weeks we will need all the help we can get cause we will lose the first tie breaker.
Above all, we root for a hard fought, physical game that just hammers both teams, but especially the Pats. The Bills aren't exactly an overly physical team, but I hope they pound on the Pats this weekend. The aging members of the Pats defense are much less likely to have a strong showing against us on Thursday if that happens.
This question is a no brainer...of course we root for Buffalo..they are currently 0-2 in the division and we already lost to the Pats.
