welllllll last years OC got a bigger and better opportunity sooooo, wasnt really a decision

yea scoring D is a great and usually translates to wins...but the conversation is about a QB "crapping their pants" facing a D...lol...patriots arent scary

TT isnt a good QB so bad example. As a fan I think you give your defense a little too much credit haha. There isnt even one playmaker on that defense that would strike fear into an opposing QB. Middle of the road or worse in almost all defensive categories, especially weak against the pass. If I was an opposing QB I would be excited to play that D in the playoffs (Belecheat or not). As far as scoring defense ranking, well duh, they play the putrid AFC East 6 times!!!! haha

why would NE defense make any QB crap themselves?

If Fournette is healthy for the playoffs, yes they can compete with any team. Nasty defense, Bortles actually looking like a QB AND a healthy Fournette....they could feast They could also lose in the first round, its the playoffs

this is a stupid thread and I am stupid for posting in it

ohhhhh nooooooooo, what if we look bad???? OR, it makes us look like we are sticking up for our teammates finally, and that you cant just bully us around like usual anymore

great...dream scenario. barf

right!!?? I don't get what world these whiny politically correct people live in. "He got his one game suspension, it has been dealt with, move on"...seriously??????

probably just 1 game, the NFL has shown they don't care about stopping/punishing/regulating cheap shots but, who cares if its longer? worth it...

couldnt it just be they dont want anyone else having complete access to their players health/treatments except for their training staff anymore? IF you have some type of health issue and go to a doctor, and you seek a second opinion, its quite possible the doctors may disagree on the path of treatment you should follow...could just be as simple as the Pats trainers are tired of having their players devalue their opinions and going to double check with this guy all the time It seems if he was doing something illegal and the Pats found out about it, they wouldnt continue to let golden boy Tommy see him and receive the illegal treatment, even if they are cheaters that just seems dumb

I dont care about the "bad press" the table jumpers cause, maybe it will distract the NFL fans from laughing at the terrible product thats been put on the field for 20 years

you are, without intending to, agreeing with my argument...our prisons ARE full because we take no real preventative measures to stop criminals before they become full fledged criminals. Get to them young, teach them young in hopes of stopping them from committing real crimes that need prison time. However I am done with this line of discussion because it is not what the thread was intended for... .

lol yup, the 1 game was equivalent to a child criminal being given community service they never have to complete...does nothing, you think Gronk learned from that one game suspension? He showed no remorse, he blamed the freaking refs!!!!!! give me a break easy to see why we are soft as a society

Thank you!!! some of us just want to see accountability for peoples actions...its part of whats wrong with society today, many are not held accountable for their actions, so they never learn. Common with criminals...schools let kids get away with things out of fear from parents, kids dont learn their actions have consequences, they commit crimes on the streets, court system slaps them on the wrist with a petty probation or puts them on PINS in youthful offender status, again they dont learn from their mistakes (look at me, Im hard, the schools and courts cant touch me!!)...and then they commit real crimes because they never learned their lessons... this Gronk situation is merely a microcosm of whats wrong with society...therefore I am in favor of dealing out justice, and maybe the Gronk will learn him something...and if not, itll hurt the Pat's...DILLY DILLY!

yup, we can disagree, thats OK. I would love a nice cheap shot...helmet to his back or knee that ends his F'ing career. Let the suspensions and fines fly. Ends the Pats super bowl chances, (maybe even taking him out of the game real early allows us even a snowballs chance in hell at winning this game haha) and I will drink and be merry on Christmas! edit: I should add, if we can legally hit him and end his career at the same time, then I am all for that!

great point, but only one way to find out also you are right, if we were winning some fans might not be as disgusted...but personally what Gronk did is as low as low can be in the game of football, and since the NFL didn't do any justice, vigilante justice should be on the table...

but we arent the bengals and steelers, that is a two team dirty rivalry...we are a whipping boy, and revenge can help end that. Enough is enough. I am tired of watching a bunch of pansy asses get walked all over in every aspect. I know our team will take the "smart" route and not retaliate, I am just answering the OPs question about what I THINK we should do

cavemen, its a cavemen sport hurt him as revenge. hurt him so he knows he cant do it to the bills again. hurt him so other players know you cant cheap shot the bills and get away with it (like they have been doing for years to us). hurt him to draw a line in the sand....but alas, no sack bills wont do anything.

then why do you watch/come to a football teams message board?

I have zero faith in Dennison being able to adapt a passing offense to fit the skills of his QB...he didn't do it with TT (or with our running game for the first half of the year either) so why would we with Mayfield/Jackson?

our players did nothing in the game last year when A Will got his cheap shot our players did nothing in the dolphins game after that game either our players did nothing to Gronk immediately after his cheap shot on White our players will do nothing in retaliation, we are comprised of kitty cats

what makes you so sure? Plenty of QBs have played into their 40s...its the least physically demanding position, you are not hit on every play, you dont run much, its just a shoulder motion. I believe truly taking care of your body can extend his playing life without being on PEDS I am not saying he is def NOT taking them, I just dont see how you can be so positive

not bad really...two big drops, one big over throw and the score is likely 31-6 deep into the fourth quarter (or better). Yes he dialed up run plays, duh we are a run first team, but if the players executed then Dennison's "going into a shell" doesn't look so bad...relax (And I do not like Dennison, just calling a spade a spade)

so did the Falcons in the Super Bowl with Matt Ryan... the point is, sometimes going for the jugular wins, sometimes it loses... Players need to execute. If the Bills o-line executed on their blocking assignments all second half against the dolphins, or if Zay Jones makes a contested catch in the second half, or if TT makes a better throw to Clay in the second half, our second half offensive performance is MUCH MUCH different and the outcome of the game would have been as lopsided as it was in the second half More on players for not executing than on coaches for bad play calling or "taking their foot off the pedal" IMO
