Not since ye olden times and TB12 did a game in december mean this much. I mean come on. A hat and tee shirt game, in Drake Maye’s second season ? No one saw this coming , just like no one saw Drake Maye being a legitimate MVP candidate. And The Pats need this one. Okay I need this one. You need this one. Stepon Diggs needs this one, why I love the guy it’s personal. Yes when Buffalo and the Dildo Mafia come to town it’s always personal. They made it that way, Here are My Monster Keys to Patriots victory.
Man Up
If there is a counter punch to the great arm Josh Allen possesses it’s Man Defense. Force Allen to throw into tight windows and he inevitably lets his Johnson do the thinking for him and turns the ball over. I have complete confidence in Gonzo, CDIII and Mr. All world Marcus Jones to hold down Shikur , Palmer and Gabe Davis.
Get Home with 3
Tonga – Barmore & Durden Oh My with the Patriots CB trio holding down things in the backfield these three are going to have to create pressure on their own. And clog up things for the run game.
Pats linebackers are going to need to set the edges and hold their gaps. Without Milton Williams up front , the Patriots have taken a straight right to the jaw in stopping the run. and it’s paramount that they hold James Cook to under 80 yards on Sunday. All four of the Bills losses have come when Cooks has rushed for fewer than 100. I want some breathing room
Win The Turnover Battle – as i said earlier if you frustrate allen he will turn the ball over, he has 10 passes completed to the other team this year six in the last five games take care of the ball and wait for Allen to piss down his leg.
Own the Late Downs – i am not asking for a spy on Josh Allen not on every down, but when it’s third and long i want a linebacker staying at home. Do not let Allen move the chains with his legs on late downs. Get into second or third and short yourself and matriculate.
Limit the Laundry – The Pats have come light years in a few short weeks , averaging just 3 flags thrown at them over the last three games, on the flip side the Bills are getting seven tossed at them per contest. This should be an easy key to turn.
Own the Twilight Zone -. So you’re traveling through another dimension — a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind. A journey into a wondrous land whose boundaries are that of imagination. That’s a signpost up ahead: your next stop: the Twilight Zone! yep im out. , Red Zone is history. I just can’t anymore with this team. Can’t score from it and can’t defend it. Keep the Bills outside the twenty and go for gold from the 25. The Twilight Zone.
Run that Rock
Yes I know the Pats have struggled constantly running the ball but the Bills can’t stop the run. And playaction is the other side of this key. Josh did a great job keeping the Bills guessing in week 5, I expect the same this week.
Can You Diggs it
With no Ed Oliver the Bills will be forced to blitz. Let Drake exploit this. get Diggs into motion dragging Benford all over the field then exploit the Bills secondary outside the numbers. Make that hot read, find the open man and give me the YAC I crave.
Triple 8’s
No, I’m not talking about going for two after every score, the Patriots need to excel in the first 8 minutes of the game, they need to take control in the last four minutes of the half – the first four minutes of the second half. and control the last eight minutes of Sunday’s game. These 24 minutes will decide the outcome of this game.
Thats it my Rabid Readers , shut down Cooks, put this game on the MVP and his little brain and just keep playing smart football and the AFC East is yours once again. We wont be hanging any banners for this but hey who couldn’t use another hat and tee shirt ? As always you can follow /give me grief on Twitter @Tmurh207
