The noise has already started, but things will get much louder Sunday in Buffalo.
The upstart Bills are riding high after a convincing Week 1 win over the Indianapolis Colts and they’ll welcome the New England Patriots to Orchard Park on Sunday. As far as early-season games go, this one is big for the Bills and new head coach Rex Ryan. In fact, they’ve already started talking a little smack ahead of the AFC East showdown.
Meanwhile, the Patriots are quietly going about their business while preparing for an environment that figures to be anything but quiet Sunday afternoon in western New York.
“We always expect crowd noise on the road,” Belichick said Tuesday on a conference call. “That’s something we’re ready for every week if we play away games. I’m sure it will be loud there. It’s loud everywhere. So, it’ll be a lot louder when you’re not doing well. If you’re moving the ball, getting first downs, and gaining yards, that tends to quiet it, when you’re ahead, that quiets it, too.
“It’ll be as loud as we allow it to be.”
It didn’t take long for that to get back to the Bills, as the team’s official Twitter account pushed out this Tuesday afternoon.
