Buffalo Bills at New England Patriots, Nov 9, 2008 1:00 PM EST
Buffalo Bills (5-3) at New England Patriots (5-3)
1:00 PM EST, Gillette Stadium, Foxborough, MA
Keys to Victory :: Key Matchups :: Pats Pulpit :: Video Preview
BUF Injury Report :: NE Injury Report
Bills inactives - RB Xavier Omon, WR Josh Reed, OT Demetrius Bell, OG Brad Butler, DE Aaron Schobel, LB Teddy Lehman, SS Donte Whitner
The Buffalo Bills are set to take on the New England Patriots in a battle atop the AFC East in just under an hours' time. I don't have much to say about this one, because we all know what's at stake. After two straight divisional losses, the Biils face what is essentially a must-win in a stadium from which they have not emerged victorious since 2000. Without a win, Buffalo falls to 5-4 - a record they also held in 2007, when they finished 7-9.
This is your open game thread for today's game. I'll be here, as always, and hope to see as many of you as possible here as well. If you're a lurker and would like to join in for today's thread, create an account and hop right on in. This is a big one. Get your game faces on, and GO BILLS.

Is this the first time or just the most recent in a long time?
Those types of trips can backfire I’ve found :-P
The big question for me is this, is Wilfork playing or not? Sadly, it looks like he is, get ready to watch Fowler and Preston get beat like rented mules today folks. Hope Turk is really ready to run outside, we are going to need to.

Depends on where you live, if your near Buffalo, it shoul be Pat vs.Bills
Everywhere else its that game becauseTenn is 8-0 and thus a more important game.

We don’t even know what happened… maybe the folks talking to Jauron saw it wasn’t a catch too late. That’s all I’m saying, so before we jump down his throat, let’s relax.

21 points off of turnovers is still inexcusible.
Giving the other team the ball is unexcusible.

Turk may have given Trent 3 plays to call at the line depending on formation
The issue is that when your on the 4 yard line, it compacts the D and makes it easier for them to flow to the ball. I guess I should blame both for this one

Keep throwing to him.
It is apparent that their strategy is to open the whole play book up to him. I’d do it differently, but that TD catch shows his potential. Why we just do not throw the fade to him in the red zone is baffling. He is a hard worker. He will be a real good target.
