  1. I think a lot of people in here are too young to remember the Pats without Brady. There is this weird assumption that New England has always been a great franchise and their unparallelled success (in any sport at any time) is just part of normal reality. The fact is that we have been witness to a team that has had an absolutely freakish run of achievement, where every possible star has aligned (including the star of cheating), seems to have been missed. I can forgive Bills fans (they are the victims of 20 years of psychological trauma). But there is no excuse however for the lack of perspective from a lot of NFL journalists. Why these guys (a lot who are 50 plus) seem mystified at the Pats demise is bizarre. The Pats success was never going to last forever, dynasties come and dynasties go and normally QBs have 10 good years and fall off a cliff. Now that Brady is gone, a lot of these morons now cant figure out that it was literally all him? Belichick was just riding on his coattails the entire time.
  2. Wow , I recorded the end of the Miami game right after Aghalor scored his TD. Just watched it now. That was one of the more comically entertaining last 5 minutes of football I have seen in a long time. Gruden should be firing himself and the Raiders just epically choked their playoff chances away. Fitz is literally a QB out of a movie. Just a money finish by him yet again. I'm not sure that I have ever seen a player in football who can play so brilliantly and then poorly. A guy who can be so clutch and yet blow it at the worst moment. I cannot think of any of other QB like him ever.
  3. Like this pass that Mariota did to himself? I could see Josh being able to do this!
  4. It almost feels like I got new reading glasses! Things look much better! LOL Old age does suck though!
  5. See Duke Williams rule from playoffs last year.
  6. I was a young man in 1995 and its hard to believe that 25 years have elapsed since we won the division. A good life lesson here about never taking things for granted!
  7. Great Bills win but the injuries are very concerning. I think Beasley is also hurting if not injured after that hit he took in the mid section on the high throw by Allen in the first half.
  8. Two INT pick 6s dropped today that most fans would have caught!
  9. Of all the sports I watch, the NFL has to be the only league where the officials never ever have the good sense to chill out and put their whistles and flags away and let them play. Hockey and even soccer have officials who sometimes ignore minor offenses if they have no impact on the play. But not the NFL. All flags all the time, all fouls real or imagined are to be called all the time.
  10. This has to be a new Bills record for the amount of TDs scored and then nullified by penalties!
  11. Can these officials just F'off with these ticky tack and phantom penalties!!
  12. Why was there no directly overhead replay on that 4th down play by the Bills. Instead we have crap angles? How can they possibly make a fair decision without that?
  13. That was a great win, but the adjustments made by the coaches were the most impressive part of this! And they were against a great defense! Having sat through too many games in the McD era where no adjustments were made to the game plan and we got killed, this was a welcome change!
  14. The NFL needs to extend the Goalposts another 3 ft up. Im not kidding!
  15. Can we ever have a game where we are up 28 pts in the 4th quarter?
  16. This is f'ing ridiculous. Both teams look like utter crap
  17. This game is rivalling the Rams Pats SB as one of the most boring games ive ever seen
  18. Awful game so far. Both teams are playing like its Jets vs Jags
  19. I always remember as a kid, the 1980 Raiders winning the SB as a wildcard with Jim Plunkett (who was supposed to be an also ran) at QB. They were a team that just peaked at the perfect time. There's been a few other teams who have come out of nowhere since then to win it all like the Ravens in 2001 or those Giants teams who upended the Pats. I think we are better than any of those teams that won. You just have to ride the momentum!
  20. Seriously who is responsible for the in game defensive calls? Is it Frazier or McD?. what the hell is the strategy on this drive?
