Can I get out of the Pegula’s bushes now?

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_NFL_players_by_games_played This is most games played, four QBs are from this era, Farve, Manning, Brady and Brees. After that is Tarkenton of all people who I believe played 14 game seasons. Next are Marino and Elway. I think that the fact that four are from an era where the rules are designed to protect the QB has to be considered. Farve was an animal, he had nineteen injuries and played through eighteen of them. I know at least early in his career he had some pharmaceutical help. Brady by comparison has had five played through four. I agree with you that conditioning, lifestyle, probably medical care have a good deal to do with longevity. By the way I once caught a pass from Tarkenton.

Brady’s longevity is due to what? There isn’t that many choices, performance enhancing drugs, rules protect today’s QBs thus prolonging career or generically superior unaffected by age. Is there other options I’m missing? Or are you going to try and contribute it to kale cocktails and clean living?

Should I go over to Boca Executive airport and hide in the bushes again?

Obscure reference to a 50 year old commercial, nice.

I don’t understand your point, are you saying that Brady is just a genetically superior human being? And that is the reason for his longevity? Not that NFL rules have changed? I think Unitas could be hit in the head and below the waist. Do your stats take into consideration that Fitzpatrick would take off and run and not always slide? It is obvious to anyone who has ever watched any NFL games that Boady gets call other QBs do not and furthermore it has become obvious that calls and non-calls help them more than other teams, 29 scoring drives extended by penalties most in the league.

I think that the longevity of both Brady and Brees has more to do with the era they play in. QBs are more protected than ever, that along with healthier lifestyles contribute. I don’t watch the Saints as much as I watch Patriots. It is obvious to me that the officials protect Brady more tha any QB in the league and I believe opponents know that. Tyrod Taylor took a beating last week, had his head intentionally slammed into the ground with no call. I’ve seen Brady pushed by one hand on his shoulder result in a penalty. Last night’s game was just a microcosm of the issue. It was just so blatant and in your face. Then add to that the fact that Ron Torbert is an executive with company that was Gillette Stadium project manager, it just doesn’t smell right.

The phantom offensive pass interference and the reversal of the call on fourth down are what happens in every Patriots game.

How could you not believe it? The Patriots had 29 scoring drives extended by penalties by far the most in the NFL.

Can the NFL be sued for claiming to be a sport? Didn’t wrestling have to declare they were not a sport?

Told you

There will be a penalty that will extend a drive for the Patriots, they lead the league on those calls.

Always the drive stopping call to help Patriots.

So you’re saying there is a chance we could get Scarlett Johansson.

I’m optimistic, the coaching staff got more out of this squad than most expected. The Bills have a bunch of draft picks, cap space and owners willing to spend money. The hardest piece is obvious, QB, need to draft one and get a vet. Since the QB is more than likely not currently on the team a change at offensive coordinator is not that big a deal. If you can upgrade do it. QB aside the offense needs WR upgrade a healthy Benjamin will help. I don’t know what to make of Mathews, liked him in college and wanted Bills to draft him. He had some good years with Eagles in a bad situation. O line needs to get younger. All the RB should go but McCoy. Need to get a pass rush. I think in today’s NFL and based on the fact that Bills success goes through Brady, interior D lineman are the key. They need linebackers the only guy I keep is Milano. If they accomplish 60% of this I think they could be good.

Tom Donahoe is a HOF jerk. I would have fired him when he blamed the fans for his mistake in hiring Gregg Williams resulting in having to fire him. History has demonstrated what a bad hire that was. You forgot Lee Evans and trading up for Losman. You’re right Marv was not a good GM. Ralph panicked and went to his comfort zone. The one constant for fifty plus years was Ralph Wilson. Mularkey new that when he took the job, as did Lou Saban, twice, Chuck Knox and Marv Levy, the only Bills coaches that accomplished anything. Mularkey left because he knew Losman was not an NFL QB.

This is conjecture, but I think what happened was Mularkey realized that he had made a mistake by going all in on Losman. That is why he bailed.

You said it was a rumor, which means unsubstantiated. What we know is Marv said Mularkey would be retained and Mularkey guit. Those are the facts.

Mularkey named Losman as the starting QBs for 2005. Bleadsoe then demanded his release. Try using Google to check facts.

Ralph fired Donahoe, who had hired both Williams and Mularkey when they were on no one else’s radar. I always felt Donahoe did so because he lost a power struggle with Cower in Pittsburgh. He hired them as HC so they owed him. When Marv was named GM he told Mularkey he would be retained, Mularkey then quit. Why? Was Marv so inferior to Donahoe? Which one os in the HOF?

Okay, fair enough, it also means he quit on the players, his team, which would apparently make him the polar opposite of McDermott.

Andy Reid should be fired.

He quit on the Bills, f*#k him.

Last week the Titans beat the Jags, were the Jags playing for anything?or were they just going through the motions? Titans are not good.

Obviously Bruce obviously
