If Golden State Warriors T-Shirts the Pats get another win, they clinch the division. If the Bills pull off a victory, the division will be decided in Week 17.Ahead of the matchup, Pats coach Bill Belichick sat down to talk about what he's seen from the Bills in the time since their last battle, and what type of challenges they Nathaniel Thurmond Jersey pose for his team. BB sits down with to talk the challenges the Bills present heading into tomorrow's game. New England Patriots (@Patriots) "The Bills are a great football team," Belichick said. "They've had a really solid year. They're very good in all three phases of the game. They present a lot of problems. They're obviously very good defensively and they have a lot of good skill players and they're good in the kicking game. So, it's gonna be a challenge for us. It'll be a good test."That's pretty standard coach-speak, but luckily, Belichick actually elaborated on that a bit. "They're so much of a game-plan team offensively," he said. "It's hard Alen Smailagic Jersey to put a pin in it. One week they could be one way, or for a couple weeks they could be a particular way, and then last week against Pittsburgh they kind of went away from what the offensive philosophy had been Jason Richardson Jersey the previous few weeks, which they'd been succe sful with. So I think this is very much a game-plan team."If that type of philosophy sounds familiar, that's because it's exactly what the Patriots themselves do. One week, they might come out and throw 50 times and the next week they might run 50 times. They attack whatever the opponent that week's particular weakne s is, shapeshifting from one type of team Baron Davis Jersey to another depending on the week.

"So, its a hard group to prepare for." Indeed it is, and if the way this season has gone is any indication, this Saturday's game should be another defensive battle.
