KEYS TO THE PATRIOTS BEATING THE BILLS

10/2/2016

A month ago very few people thought there was any chance that the Patriots might actually be able to be undefeated when Brady returned from his 4 game suspension. Well here we are, one win away from starting the season 4-0. Here is what the Patriots need to do to secure the win.
Contain Tyrod Taylor- Yes, the Patriots need to contain Tyrod Taylor. While I'm not very concerned about him breaking some tackles and throwing some miracle pass downfield, I am concerned that he might use his legs to keep the chains moving. While it didn't show itself last week, the Patriots' Achilles heal this season allowing offenses to stay on the field longer than they should. Currently Patriots' opponents are successful on third downs 45.9% of the time.
Block Jerry Hughes- The linebacker has 3 sacks and 5 hurries on the season. It would be wise for the Patriots to make sure they keep Hughes from getting within a step or two of whomever is playing quarterback.
Special Teams- If the Patriots want to win today they need to have another solid game from their special teams. With a desperate Rex Ryan on the other sideline, they should be throwing their hands teams out there on early kickoffs.
Calm Heads- Ryan coached teams have little self control. When things get a little wild on the sideline or under the pile, the Patriots need to keep calm and hope the officials throw the flags at the visitors. While they should have no trouble earning first downs today, New England will probably get a few gifts from the Bills.
Downfield Passes- It's official Jacoby Brissett is starting and Jimmy G is inactive. While it might not have been evident in last week's win, Brissett throws a solid deep ball. In my opinion McDaniels needs to give Brissett the green light to go deep.
Rushing Game- When the Patriots go over 100 yards they win. Blount has been a workhorse this season and he's loving it. Keep feeding him the ball.
