The Pats AREN’T going to score 35 against the Bills – sorry! This is a different defense than the one NE faced last year; and the overall depth and talent has been vastly improved.  With Fred Jackson possibly playing this Sunday, and the Bills healthy on defense, it’s going to be CLOSE, and it’s going to be TOUGH.  Games between these two teams are always TOUGH – but the Bills will make it close, and they KNOW that they can beat the Patriots. Not every team can say that about facing New England. I think if you ask Bill Belichek whose defense he is concerned about the most in the division, he’ll say Buffalo.

Given what’s happened with the Patriots’ offensive line so far this year, the big question is: will the Bills D-line get to him, and if so, how many times? My guess? Yes, they will … and they’ll sack him 4 or 5 times on Sunday – and disrupt him several other times.

This will probably be THE most entertaining game of the day on Sunday – especially with the referee thing resolved. Looking forward to it!
