BRH

I still remember the game in November '93 against the Colts when Jimbo got absolutely flattened right at the two-minute warning before halftime. I'm pretty sure there was no flag. He weaved unsteadily off the field, then came back out and on his first play back double-pumped and hit Billy Brooks in the end zone for a 23-yard TD. After the game when the reporters asked him about the sequence, he admitted that he couldn't feel the entire right half of his body during the play - and that was the half that threw the pass. This was like a regular thing for him. Quarterbacks just don't get hit like that anymore, and if they do (a) it's a 15-yard penalty and (b) they aren't even allowed back in the game. And I'm not saying that like it's a bad thing -- it's good for the league to keep quarterbacks healthy. But the fact that we have to go all the way back 20+ years to think of a similar hit on Brady tells you all you need to know about how tough Kelly was.

He was told to report at a certain weight. He came back weighing more than what he weighed when he was told to lose weight. Then when he was called on it, he argued with the coach and GM about the weight he was told to report at. He should have had that conversation with the team when he was first told to report at 251 instead of just blowing it off and assuming that Gettleman would have his back when he showed up heavier.

I was sixteen years old when we drafted Bruce Smith, so I saw a little bit of football before then and a lot afterward. Bruce Smith is the best defensive end I have ever seen. If he had played in a 4-3 like Reggie White did with guys like Clyde Simmons and Jerome Brown next to him? The sack total race wouldn't even be close. And about the money. I used to get ticked when he sat out, like everyone else. Then he'd make some great clutch play in his first game back that no one else in the league could make, and I'd look at my dad and go "he's worth it." With apologies to Thurman, OJ, et al, Bruce Smith is really the one Buffalo Bill that we can claim is the very best ever at his position and know that while other teams' fans might argue, deep down they know we're right. I just wish he wasn't afraid of the damn flu shot, that's all. Aaron Donald would be wishing he got Bruce Smith money.

"Dennison, 63, worked with Gary Kubiak for more than three decades in Denver (1995-2009, 2015-16), Houston (2010-13) and Baltimore (2014). Before joining the Vikings in 2019, Dennison served as offensive line coach/run game coordinator for the New York Jets in 2018." It's like 2017 didn't even happen.

And come away with an extra $500K or so? Sign me up. Big Baller Beane indeed.

Yeah that's why we hung 50 on them. 🙄

I never in my life thought I would root for a Brady-led team to win a preseason game, much less a Super Bowl. But the behavior of Chiefs fans these last couple of weeks (and that of some of their players during the AFCCG) wore on me so much that, just before game time, I realized that my rooting energies were far more conflicted than I expected. By the middle of the first quarter, I found myself actively rooting for the Bucs. I’m not ashamed.

If they win it will be in spite of Brady, not because of him.

And then after the pick comes the patented Marino/Brady dejected look and no effort at all to make a tackle.

Seriously? That pass sucked.

Terrible pass.

The GOAT throws two second-half picks on ducks. Aikman will probably say it should have been caught. 🤣

Perhaps now we can hold off on the Brady ballwash festival for a little while. At least here.

Well The Greatest Ever just threw two straight balls that should have been picked and one of them finally was.

He cheated. Multiple times. Period.

Down 18, let’s run twice.

MVP

In the Super Bowl? Shocking.

A legacy of last year’s game vs the Texans when they just decided not to give us the TD.

Thank god.

Finally.

Get off the field now. Sigh.

In fairness, GB has shown less than nothing so far.

Horrific defense.

Terry Bradshaw knows whereof he speaks when he talks about 50% completion passers.
