00:00And so in this game, I think the Patriots win by a field goal,
00:02but I would take the Raiders plus three and a half
00:04if I was going to bet this game.
00:06This is a hard game to bet because of the turnovers for both teams
00:09and the game could go and swing one way based on a pick or a fumble
00:13or just somebody making a very large mistake.
00:16But I think you're right about the Patriots coming in
00:18with a lot of confidence and Romeo Dobbs, I think is the reason
00:21because this is why they signed the guy.
00:2473% of the snaps had motion in this game for Josh McDaniels
00:27against the Buffalo Bills.
00:29That was by far the season high.
00:30So it feels like Josh found his mojo and Josh found something
00:34that's going to work.
00:35Drake May was throwing on the run and he was completing passes on the run.
00:39Efton Chisholm, I think is a type of player that galvanizes a locker room.
00:43It helps when you have, you know, Garner Johnson saying
00:47this guy's a practice squad player and making fun of him
00:50and we'll never hear from him again because the Patriot team
00:52clearly likes this kid and thinks he plays hard.
00:55And we've seen the Danny Woodheads and the Julian Edelmans of the world
00:58who have been your small college player, make a big name for themselves
01:02in New England.
01:03So I think I'm with you.
01:04My only concern is what happens with the defense
01:07and whether or not this defense can go back to back week
01:09without their two best players, essentially.
01:12Your best run stopper and their best cover corner.
01:14Can they go back to back weeks?
01:15And as the Bills said going into the game, it's difficult to know
01:19what the Patriots are going to do defensively without those two guys.
01:22Well, now there's tape, Jason.
01:23Like now you can see it in Kubiak, clearly knows how to go after a Patriot defense.
01:28Yep.
01:29It's a great point there.
01:30And I'm not sure if Christian Gonzalez, do we know if he's going to play
01:32or not yet as we sit here on a Wednesday?
01:34No, it's still questionable for both guys.
01:37But the Patriots defense is legit.
01:39And what Mike Vrabel, I mean, like anyone who wants to question
01:42Mike Vrabel's leadership at Boston Anik, talk to me about that.
01:45Because what he does with that defense is just unbelievable.
01:48And what he did, to hold Josh Allen to four yards rushing.
01:52And to, you know, he talked a lot about not letting him go right.
01:55I mean, the blueprint that the Patriots have laid out a little bit
01:58for some of these other teams in terms of attacking Josh Allen.
02:01Josh Allen, Dara, I mean, best player in the NFL for my money,
02:04didn't quite look like himself.
02:06And it looked like the Patriots defense caused him problems
02:08throughout the day.
02:09Now they certainly could have won the game, but it was so enjoyable
02:12as a Patriots fan to watch that football game.
02:13It really put them back on the map.
