I really haven't followed the stadium talk very closely, as far as funding goes because we've had that carrot dangled in front of us so many times, I'd rather just wait and see how it starts to shake out
The only thing that really impeded my confidence is that last year, the Bills were pretty polished going into the Playoffs. This year, there is a lot to be wary of, specifically inconsistencies in all aspects. I think we'll win this week.
NE has played pretty bad since their bye. They lost 3/4 and the only win was against the Jags and then, against us, before the bye - where they only scored 1 TD, 1 67 yrd run called back and we win that game. Also, they have a fair number of subs and line changes on Defense.
On our side, the O-line has played much better. NE will go heavy run again, I feel. The Bills have looked better against the run. I say close game and the Bills will get the breaks.
2 things I worry about; what officials team is going to be there and can Allen avoid giving the ball way, like not one time
As for Allen's perception, it's not just numbers and statistics. Allen has the ability to will this team down the field, and yeah, he gets hit and takes chances but the way he fights for every yard is not something you can put on paper.
