May Day 10

The only way it is possible, is there is some sort of weird irreconcilable rift between brady and kraft and/or belichick I dont see it happening, as kraft holds a strange god-like worship of brady.... and kraft is brady's sugar daddy post-career for getting tb12 off the ground.

No way he plays for anyone else. Not in a million years. He wouldnt dare leave belichick world and diminish his legacy when he suddenly looks like a 43 year old playing for a run of the mill organization

Darnold is peterman level bad this game

Im shocked the jets look this poor

Im not sure how the rest was, but I recall the last 6 games-ish of the 2004 schedule broke to be this easy. Right in a row, they played like 4 of the worst 5 teams in the league, followed by the Steelers with 3rd stringers. I believe Miami was really bad that season too.

to be honest... this result could have been the best thing for this team. 1. In the future, if they encounter a game where they can "roll the ball out there and win", they won't believe that and will take every opponent seriously. Not saying they didnt take Miami seriously, but Im sure there was some degree of overconfidence for some % of the roster. 2. I think I like next week better that the Bills come off a close win where they were forced to execute and sweat it out. A blowout win, and we would be hearing even more hype about the Bills. A young team can talk all they want about keeping that all noise out, but human nature its impossible. This could have been their let-down game and the Philly game could be their 'rebound'.

the play action counter to the weak side with a completed pass on the left side on Levi Wallace was a cheat code.

Yes, thanks. Not implying that this is the beginning of 2 decades of dominance and a dozen Superbowls. But in a vacuum, that 2001 team (I meant 2001, said 2000) was a tough fundamentally sound team, not glamorous, whose defense (and ST) would find a way to turn games into wins. Tom Brady was not all that impressive, but always seemed to do just enough to win the games.

The Bills kind of do remind me of the 2000 Patriots a bit.

If the bills win, they will have a guaranteed 2.5 game cushion for the wild card

Drop 2 regular season games. Add 2 preseason

Extra bye week. Less preseason. Larger playoff field.

Wow. Glad we didnt draft him

It isnt pampering. Go to the arena in buffalo, then go to its contemporaries in toronto, montreal, boston, and philly. Those are a much better place to watch a game and feel like a "hockey barn". The pitch on the seats in our arena is very gradual, putting you far away. Tons of bad seats even in the 100s. In the corners, in the 300s it feels like a different zip code. Then the bubble roof with the giant blue wall/ductwork. Sucks all the ambience and nouse right out.

We don't know that they are necessarily looking to put the 'best' game(s) on NFL network on Saturday, right? CBS and Fox probably have some pull, and they might want to keep at least 1 of the potentially good match-ups on Sunday you would think.

Im not entirely sure what is possible for the arena. It was a poorly designed arena built on the cheap for the most part, but it is still very useful. I hate the bubble roof (with the giant blue wall) and the gradual pitch of the seats the most, but those are major structural punch list items. Concourses get jammed up bad. Aesthetically from the outside it looks like trash. Cheap materials used for seats. My guess is we will see some sort of moderate-level renovation of the arena. Something above just a few coats of paint and a new store. With the costs, harbor center attached and canalside, I would give almost zero chance of a new/moved facility. Speaking as far as the known possible locations, as far as the stadium goes, based on my knowledge of construction, infrastructure, fan experience, and money, IMO the stadium dollars would go the furthest building adjacent to the current stadium in OP. A major reno would probably rival a new stadium in cost, and provide much less options. Downtown, lots of land acquisition and infrastructure costs, traffic, and boondoggle that we have been over 2000 times. If it were me, I would really be exploring around the "elbow" of the 190 and 90 by the Ogden Street exit areas. There is room there and people would fly in and out of there efficiently. That layout reminds me a bit of the highway situation where Philadelphia's stadiums are located.

Cyrus Kouandjio is a second round pick of the "Guardians" whoever they are

If the patriots start to trip up, this season could go over the top with excitement. We could be talking about home field throughout.

I would think the jets would have a real good chance... But the extra prep time from thursday to the following monday is a lot of time to come up with ways to cheat

I cant even imagine the Cowboys firing Garrett. He is teflon for some reason

It seems like a weird season. Teams look unbeatable and fall to earth hard (Dal, Ten). Other teams look like they are out of it, then somehow look good (Pit, Den, Min). Might have some shakeup for the playoffs this season with some new entrants and teams advancing.

two major threats are the Browns and Chargers. The longer they are down, the better. The Jets are going to make a run due to their schedule, but are starting from a hole and have little margin for error.

Cowboys and Eagles looked more vulnerable... But the Steelers and Broncos might not be as easy as I once thought

At least they got that field goal
