Play from 0:00[0:00]" Let's dollar dollar I'll -- volleys well. Speeds patriots played without -- poverty and it's on the I think five -- patriots playbook breaking down last Sundays game yeah go ahead and handed him because look back. The top -- and he -- wanna go bought pie could play that they've won fair and the rest of the 2000 have a NFL's. -- on that they want bare hands a little -- between eight and 51 -- payment you want right now."

Play from 0:37[0:37]" and the death you -- stands welcome to patriots playbook. I in his special guest host -- feeling its genre might currency. It with means Michael pilot mr. John Hendry AKA buddy love WS Theo have a nine score in Providence I want I think Gary Ricky -- in down the name of the show form because that would but I -- in about 15 minutes. -- Q Gary. Giants could -- here -- doing doing great. Great to be invited into the -- studio clinically -- old days that people please call all right but he plays -- John. I don't his rolls off the -- well bloody. Buddy love and made it easier and not only that I've been Johnson's and that's the way he's going to the league lately that was the end two point we want to -- want to point lady viewers. Today we have a lot of good out there not talk about the matchup this weekend against the Buffalo Bills act. Ralph Wilson stadium 8 PM game that's been moved to prime time is part of the NFL's flex schedule -- I talk about the next seven weeks to buddy. Who can beat this team can somebody beat the world's gonna have when you sound from the locker room. -- from bill bill -- in conference calls they would picture on and build quarterback JP lost and who by the way is getting dark on Sunday that -- fourth quarter comeback last two weeks if you watch hospital that would be seen from."

Play from 1:50[1:50]" I -- a lot of bills dolphins game this past Sunday. Very let's put simply very Vanilla boring game on and yet you know. Down ten to two of the bills were able to put together drive Marshawn Lynch. Been phenomenal easy is very phenomenal and in this time he gets a five yard gain your camp -- got five yards behind outline very impressed with that the -- in on the two point conversion an ankle injury if he doesn't go it's going to be to -- it won't be the -- training -- it has some problems."

Play from 2:20[2:20]" He yanked open this thing he looks pretty good he should be ready to be out there on the field on Sunday that's my guess I can't see any scenario he does not play but I will say this. On Monday taught my buddy Ed Garland -- formally of Comcast network users on the website now -- network dot com patriots football weekly. The result today good sound they're from Mr. Big red at he had me on his web thing a little bit of audio for -- Balkan about the matchups. In two days later here we are buddy on Wednesday that changed my mind of everything I am flip flop -- John Kerry here on Monday I said this team undefeated. Nobody can beat him and I am not impressed with anybody on the schedule that's remaining for the next seven weeks. And now looking back and I'm thinking you know what I'm older too hard on on buffalo mold too hard on Pittsburgh Steelers had a rally to beat Cleveland home. Buffalo had a rally with 114 quarter point to beat Miami and I -- that too hard on -- to an an off week. Every now and then you struggle Cleveland Pittsburgh a pretty big rivals the always play close games should I not be getting down -- seemed just because they had eke by some bad teams as."

Play from 3:23[3:23]" We can -- in the NFL the competition level is so high in any week I mean we've seen it Kenya can be -- I mean this week. You looked at the saints coming in fourth straight wins against the know -- rams team do you think that's right now that's the point. They gonna just roll the football out there and Reggie Bush square feet that's confidence oval that's not the case everybody is due for a good week and you get those rivalry games that I mean Clinton Cleveland Pittsburgh is -- rivalry Miami. And buffalo are big time rivalry in these things are going to play hard against each other and play for something and doesn't matter -- when you want to brawl while there and make the plays when the game against the team that you probably despise within your division like Miami does buffalo."

Play from 4:03[4:03]" I take a look at this match at buffalo versus New England. I think might be the -- one buddy I really do I eagle that the one week playoff from the by need to make model that -- on Sunday night. Maybe buffalo a little bit charged up at the prime time game to have had too many did have a money making this year which they lost to Dallas. But that was the first time in many years I think if I'm not -- agency in did you see the way that cry out -- charged believable in the late apex of the team -- a night of the going to be part of -- weekend should be it was a clean and it's out of the crowd at all this past week that was the 12 man and -- several factors but that I -- back. I opened up the paper look at the numbers of the in his notes. Buffalo is near the bottom of the league in every category offensively defensively is a great to. The bills have thrown more touchdown -- an office once I saw -- they're quarterbacks have thrown three touchdowns. Tom Brady threw five touchdown and a half against Miami. Yet look at -- confidence that holiday winning games how has buffalo winning game. Well it's it's amazing I was looking at the numbers earlier they haven't thrown more than 34 passes in one game one of the biggest numbers that jumped out at me right off the page right to me. Was Roscoe Parrish averaging over 19 yards a punt return that's unheard of you know that that's a great lead in because there and passed on special teams we've seen that kick returns punt returns. Punt and kickoff coverage they don't give a lot and they get a lot field position is very important we don't have an offense that in chucked the ball like this team -- here at Foxboro. You better have good field position in -- talked about that today. And really the last two -- three president they've played buffalo he always brings up the intact special teams of the bills and it is great point to be attack -- the game. Now and I deal would investments of teams. Scenario or unit here either. But that the media as -- if it comes down the fourth quarter you get a big punt return them but he hit the ball 59 -- in business."

Play from 5:57[5:57]" And his years maybe these things that matchup I look back to a 2004 the last few Bledsoe Terrence McGee. Takes back -- kick off the whole way. Turns the game around and it's a competitive game right down to the end went Bruschi get the act he -- the fumbled scores touchdown I mean. There's going to be weeks where special teams make a difference and I think this is a week. The patriots have to watch out for special teams like they got to avoid. The big play in one moment the crowd in sparked the bills for every minute games close. The more the -- think they have a chance when I agree you."

Play from 6:30[6:30]" I don't let's talk about track teams like that word. So I'll I'll -- that I will not call a trap game. I just think this could be one of the toughest ones I want to remind people -- just here is web radio -- patriots dot com and the number if you want to call buddy myself five only five or 37482. -- pretty give us -- were very friendly we don't play. Who would not up down you. We love everybody we we love all opinions is that right but -- it doesn't matter what you think. An email here from -- gets -- as the you know real name's -- It's Virginia will calm me what you just -- anyway he right. I had the NFL want as much fan interaction as possible that they should not allow fans have opened Robles starting in late October or early November when the players they've both forming not out to be the best players at their position in -- season and shouldn't make in the pro -- the year award for being one of the two or three best at your position in your conference for an entire season. Plus there's an obvious buys -- in votes should be their hometown players a lot Abreu he. If the coaches executives and sports artist that looked at last year's pro bowl roster as a hockey game -- would definitely not -- been not that was ridiculous. I don't think Chris mcalister is majority more people that either the -- hobble the actual game or their televisions on the Sunday after the superbowl and you know that's as the -- email -- adjust that as I do agree. The -- opening now. A little bit of a part nearly halfway through the season. But not other physical sport I've been back -- that we've seen -- in baseball meet outlook and was -- at third -- to about 50 years even in years in the -- and what do you think of that in go to the ball well yesterday did cal Ripken you -- lot yet. Did not eat he was an all time worries though that I was at the nationally at shortstop this going from to -- back on the all star game. Yeah I don't know I mean. I think they should put the ballot so let the fans -- it's mostly in a game and haven't and it's not even really good game not once again this season likely currently our email pointed out I mean this Sunday after -- approval is it -- one week -- week though -- Saturday and Sunday and mean I'm -- hopeful that yet you in the biggest games your minds on one on -- celebratory moment not even ready to go back and watch. I can't get in that. But I say this we got a point out seven agents. Lead their respective positions in pro bowl voting voting right now I think wanted to obviously Tom Brady -- anymore I mean would you put on the team for the pro there's only candidate. I think noticed Logan Mankins might leader out of all the guys on the LA that's all that's got to get a lot of recognition it's it's tough because you have to really -- line played -- how good but he is it is respected position. In the trenches that beat me it's played real well this year. -- is obvious Tom Brady's an obvious. Larry is on special teams one of the funny. Leaders is Chris Hansen opponent. I -- brilliant -- what the game and high as anybody know how good Chris -- now do you want to be a punter and a great team terrible team you up their punted the ball 783 times you -- putting you might want to punt for only the bills. Yet because -- part of a club -- there is no better monitor in the league and non mormons -- a good point. There isn't about a guy you know the right sort. All of how much weight as a number of mobile all the players like that you -- has it been about the -- for example play 15 good years the NFL. Doesn't anymore -- Berlin April holes because as a rating meaning Palmer that are playing in the is he too. The -- and they all they resonate. I think -- those in -- to much more the united way of global order that you -- the purpose of naming all -- it does to the guilty idiot homer and a well fans cross country because of elections -- love. These things if -- Keep the -- going and make it more relevant -- our backs you make in the invitation to the players means something. Is the -- more money. Money April when it -- to I don't know. Dedicated -- all team I think the sportswriters go to all they they don't have spoke guys not be fooled by pro bowl voting if if if Dan from Charlottesville. Can email -- lose. That's not indicative of being the best player and I think the portraits of volatile they would know that -- to a -- that haven't been years where guys haven't gone because of injury and we're down to have a getting back in AF yeah I mean that badly wanted to that what you're you're done you'll feel the want to Ohman just relax it by the bullet. Think factory. Who got called last elect ten minutes before the girl you can come play in the game yeah I'm going to make it put advance on the field. -- 50 is you know on the roster. As back to great idea that is it yet not that I. I don't know what I appreciate email from Tampa don't get to that I seep out of hopefuls are all our games I don't edit it counts -- ball home field line off until they do that with a probable I don't really care yen -- leaders I didn't like it. It is -- correct me the job I didn't mean it. I'm Paul obviously about a hundred times and shows just get this this beyond disputed those here. Again email address web radio that patriots dot com the phone number is 5 wait 5437 or eight to -- Let me ask you this go to buffalo this weekend Marshall is obviously going to be big factor the key would you say to Buffalo's offense"

Play from 11:43[11:43]" because anytime you're about to run the ball it brings a -- back is up gives you more of that chance to run the play action at the plays downfield. Whenever a guy like Lee Evans who get over the top yeah it may be Cornish cheating in look at into the backfield in the you allow the speed of Evans to get by you. Six points and -- been an -- he'd have a really good chemistry and it was a dive right in most. To get Edwards -- and get lost him back is when he was healthy it would. Deck and that you know they don't have a ton of yards not a ton. Of numbers to work with there but they do have that camp -- you give him a few big plays and a chance to win the game. And you always do that is the running game a guy can't play action early chance in the passing game. They're not going to lineup and throw in and took him deep post -- this is not the kind of often do that. Not against the fence I was on the early show what direction the going to going to have a little glitches that are 82 Asian peers is that a lot of pub or Minnesota rightfully so I think lives -- pretty impressed -- his own right probably not getting as much attention playing in buffalo. He also hasn't run for 296 yards against the chargers into the idea I was an unbelievable you know Peter has had an unbelievable game that I get a ya gotta put him one but I mean listen one day. Answers those rookie quarterback and a shot you're shot I don't think that hurts the do that I mean you don't give. Give high marks the ball players -- an opposite conference's. Probably going to be there office of rookie of the years their respective conference angry and I -- when Italian a I was talking before this I think the bills are big time. Team on the rise to watch -- four. I think did the team that threaten the patriots over the next three or four years. Well certainly before Miami. Yet deeper into it in public before the -- that as a that are available here. The jets Iran he saw last and they were pie in the -- taken off the Sunnis arm -- they bottomed out at themselves and a schedule -- to an in the cornerback situation -- then I'd have to look at the you know look at the AFC east -- the quarterback. In this division but he. It is time rating it's everybody else and that's why this seems I don't know but -- competitive -- interpret what Gary predict he will be back here around eight playbook."

Play from 13:47[13:47]" He's been a three time champions and Super Bowl MVP and kicked off 2000. -- record pace. He has the patriots may -- your helmet and get 140 -- constantly from the New England Patriots this authentic helmet comes completely -- face mask and Tom Brady autograph. Report every patriot.

Number TSE proven patriots sit mostly from the patriots logos -- property. New England Patriots a 32007 thank America corporation all."

Play from 15:47[15:47]" teams -- well at that time of year again we're Sunday means you're doing something football. Whether -- tailgating in the parking lot throwing the -- get around just hang in in in watching the game on the tube is all about football. When you're not watching footballer playing football well I think we both know you're thinking football and all that can make you a little Hungary. That's why there's that tasty snack rap from McDonald's neck -- now come in your choice of three Lakers -- to pull to barbecue honey mustard and ranch and they're available with grilled crispy chicken. Delicious and easy to eat it a perfect game time neck grab one today. When you do if you're looking at that you can collectively kind of remind you of -- quarterback in the middle of the pocket and now he's surrounded by interject G rated R and let us. Well BP you're thinking just a little too much about football macdonell I'm -- it."

Play from 16:42[16:42]" Lineman -- hunger. Authentic taste of Gillette stadium if you're guilty already home. Tackle that appetite what patriots gridiron guerrillas tried to. His fourth down francs of patriots brought in a wide variety of flavors. I you drillers are all you need for the perfectly -- go home barbecue check out all the patriots gridiron. The jets patriots. Patriots rebellion drillers. Roche brothers look very far show all things. Growers when you just can't wait for Sunday."

Play from 17:43[17:43]" You know try to make it happy welcome back the -- it's. I'm Mike -- if -- about today and riding shotgun. But he all of the US TO seven -- it is or in Providence but he. That you agitated -- that -- today. I haven't had it today but I -- Friday he struck -- Erica they do it. Yet rather gonna get there they first debut -- as he was all big bag of all he's he's -- are fantastic to -- in my freezer. -- we'll ever know that I hate to put an -- them. Barbecue season is kinda ended. If you haven't noticed -- frost out there this morning and was pretty cool so what to do what barbecuing but it will be used in those with the next time I'll have to grow. -- physical up of their respective violent against that but anyway buddy. I was thinking about this again. On Monday who can knock the team off on a quest for a perfect he's not here. -- on Monday it was not -- find anybody but look at the schedule -- gave it to seven games remaining. In buffalo this week 8:15 PM next Sunday in Philadelphia 8:15 PM battle to back on prime time -- on. And Monday -- more 8:30 PM back to back to back prime time games does that play any fact though."

Play from 19:00[19:00]" I don't because. It's the exact same playoff it's not like that on Monday to Sunday. You know Monday night game traveling on the road and come back to play home Sunday or even going on the road Sunday when they could -- like the colts that but after that. But the following Monday December 3 I don't view that -- from the two teams I look at the bills yet in the Pittsburgh Steelers that it -- that I look at."

Play from 19:24[19:24]" But I can limit though he's 815 games late night. The couple that later on Monday morning I feel like you kind of start a little bit behind the eight ball on Monday. Then -- added that Monday have a bad Wednesday at bat you know signed a theory if it is they don't carry over effect it could be a snowball effect. Again we're probably reaching here and that's what we do we do that we reached. I think the buffalo game a -- so that Philadelphia people they know. At -- not at all or their mastery and he reads and that is his kids are running drug emporium I don't know how he can focus on football but given credit for the comeback against Washington. But again this is a team has not won back to back games all season. -- you can for the states that -- I'll scratch our Baltimore. Much of a tough place play we know what -- can do it it'll Campbell the ball they have absolutely no offense Willis McGahee is provided. Nothing on the list of things they expected on him he's he's he's until about two with a any chocolate. -- checked off to yet to practice with a uniform 40 yard touchdown run. 80 yard game and that was -- for the for the ravens this year Pittsburgh we both agree can be tough game even -- here. Steelers number one in deep and a lot of categories on this is I'm not saying these teams are going to come in here and win. What I'm saying of these of the teams that could. Give them top talent to maybe pull off the upset the Steelers. I think if you can protect against the only you can pick that secondary all I agree on -- it follows a great player but you outlook in the Ryan Clark ideal plan -- meant that it saddens him Ike Taylor's of the world you you can throw on those guys they time. Yeah our next game that would talk about the -- 16. The New York Jets that is a model to Foxborough and it brings -- interesting point one of our email us to tennis and -- remain. There's an article in the associate let him go over talking about point Brittany. Not that -- gamble. I don't condone that -- but he. You can notice of the year I've -- that. It is a great quote from the -- Vegas he'll in -- decor he he says what we're going to he would NATO -- it might beat a high points but it is she in the NFL. -- analyzed any real points but that game seriously or it's going to be more than that charges 49ers Super -- Which at one at a high what was that -- that was like 22 would open early yet it was very very high can you imagine a three touchdown points -- In a superbowl at least I gave your -- to the world it's -- evenly -- right today I was not they have a Pittsburgh in the first three minutes I think everybody in the world as a -- about Selig wrote the charges that night game thing you know -- the money. Calm yeah and he -- means mom a that was about it is that agree Jersey -- with his numbers and it's like he donates -- I know. A jets game that's an -- against me. Reasons if you're at the lines in the by it not often in Eric Mangini by his appearance of the soprano. The -- and read it it was although that. Kind of in that that is yet to bury that -- we know there. But you are -- do -- again can he come here -- again with a perfect game plan. And knock off the -- he did last year I'll be in the regular season came back in the playoff loss. Of one of the competitive game I have one -- now okay. The -- you know I I generally agree with you I don't think the jets are coming into much I don't think. Kellen Clemens is going to do much -- in. The last three games. -- Miami coming here. I mean -- that went to Miami in October at -- that tough game. Not that they get out of the way for the united when he I don't know what to literally becoming totally packed up by then they talk about baseball teams who pack in August underestimated on to plan. As the same way with a Miami Dolphins trying to played for the number one pick and then we go to last week of Italy to have its way ninth at least the base. The giants 815 on the NFL network by the way. If you live in Providence New Hampshire Vermont -- if so did you and don't live in in order -- or you don't have. The directv you're in trouble. You better call your cable provider now and I bet that order there because if you make a little ball -- New York he get a local TV. I guess there's some packages that are -- I really don't know let you know without getting into that too much about it expanding -- doing games -- seasons -- and it's painful -- historic games do they -- do you imagine this game being the one -- 15 you know split in New -- and -- NFL network and half of -- thinking -- that happened -- into the game."

Play from 24:06[24:06]" Well -- is going to be a tough Stanley's holes in christmas parties on December 29 cars overturned the -- lately where they can watch it in. It is to not be able to see this -- always is unreal now that's another story for another day that thing I think about the giants' secondary is horrible. But there one of the few teams. They can hurt the patriots with pressure with the front four and cover wood seven and if they could do that with a little better person on the secondary. I'd say they have a shot a little a little better pro no I know your big R. W. McQuarters guy."
