Johnny Football comes across as a guy who never thinks things through and lets his massive ego get in the way of life decisions. A full season in the CFL would have shown what he could still do and especially would have been a showcase for what we know he is good at: scrambling, throwing on the run and adlibbing. I think this is a bad decision borne out of impatience and entitlement.

LOL this might be my favorite thread of the entire season/year/decade!! I'm glad to see that other people's lives are so mundane/empty that they too have been driven to rage by these cheeseball jingles on WGR like me! Sometimes I picture that WGR's ad dept is run by a 97 year old man who was a guru of commercials in the 1950's. Because it is truly a timewarp to another era. There also seems to be a link to the male singer and the female singer(s) because they appear in multiple spots but always are awful. Some of my other favourites not listed above include: Buffalo people know how to eat and Buffalo KNOW how to have a good time!! (cant remember the bar) Paddock chev Golf dome (where golf dreams are made) Lenko Lumber Riverfront auto.....WOW Any of the Indian Smoke shop. Jeremy White selling his soul to tout duct cleaning My wife patently refuses to listen to WGR for any reason in the car but esp after she heard the Puccilo ad!!

Anyone remember Billy Smith, the NY Islanders goalie from their dynasty in the early 80s?? One of the best goalies of the era and also a total dbag. He never shook hands after a game at the end of the series when they won those cups. I don't ever remember anyone else ever doing that before or since. As for Brady, he was probably still pissed at getting the ball slapped out of his hands on that fumble. He looked like he was blaming someone on the sideline right after. Even though it was entirely his fault for not sensing the pressure. In any case a pretty classless move not shaking hands with Foles. Maybe he was jealous that Foles can catch?

Yes I get your point esp about the players other than Hobert on that list but I was joking about them and they didn't scam anyone, they just sucked. But Hobert quite literally WAS a fraud in every sense of the word. He signed a contract to be a QB with this team in 1997 and probably thought that he wouldn't play. He ended up playing against the Patriots and the performance was godawful. Like they took some guy from the crowd and put him in the game. After the loss he admitted to reporters that he didn't know the Bills playbook and was subsequently cut immediately. So basically he was getting paid and faking that he was he was NFL QB. For sure I could see this translate into crime in the real world but it was actually Shane Matthews who is the guy going to jail, who if I remember was a decently hardworking journeyman QB. Not who I expected at all.

Foles is obviously capable of brilliance. These Philly playoff games were some of the best played games by any QB ever. The problem is inconsistency. Foles has never shown the ability to sustain this brilliance over the course of a season or more than one season in a row. That's always been his problem. Can he win another SB? Can he ever do this again? It will be interesting to see. At the same time Foles is an amazing example of coaches working with the talent they had and the limitations and producing an offensive plan that worked perfectly. It just seems so obvious looking at what Reich and Pedersen did with Foles, tailor your offense to what he does well and play to his strengths. Yet over and over again we see these boneheaded, stubborn coaches who want their players to fit their scheme and wont accommodate anything. Dennison was probably one of the worst coaches I have ever seen who didn't bother to adjust his scheme for a QB and was terrified to trust his QB to execute any complex play. Now TT may have derailed him by being overly cautious but I get the impression that Dennison was too full of himself to change anything for his QB. I think that as the NFL has expanded over the past 25 years the talent pool and the concentration of quality intelligent coaches has plummeted to an all time low. I can only hope we might get a return to common sense coaching in the future to compensate!

I thought for sure this would be Hobert. He committed one of the biggest frauds in Bills history when he got paid and had no idea of the playbook in 1997. Rob Johnson was another fraud who took the Bills for millions with nothing in return. There's a whole bunch of Bills (non QBS) who should be charged for fraud and have to pay back the fans. Mike Williams, Aaron Maybin to name a few.

Its very fitting that Frank Reich gets his SB ring by using a backup QB in a big game. I think Reich and Pedersen deserve an enormous amount of credit for thinking on their feet and perfectly adjusting their offense to Foles. Smart coaching results in success who would have thought. Reich will always be a legend for the comeback vs the Oilers but I always felt bad for Reich that he had to step into that terrible situation in the first Bills SB vs Dallas when Kelly went down. The game got out of hand and there was no comeback miracles that day. I remember Reich just being humble and matter of fact after the game about the epic beat down they received. It must have felt great after all these years to become a champion!!

Sadly I must agree with the GOAT analysis for Brady. However his record in SBs should be 3-5. Pedersen didnt blink last night and stayed aggressive, didn't do full brain cramp/choke like the Carroll and Quinn did. Had those teams gone for the throat or not given away their advantages the Pats would have lost both games handily and Brady would have been forever tainted. That didn't happen and instead Brady got a lifeline and was able to prove that he was the GOAT.

Just try it, just try anything innovative, cool. Dennison was so afraid to do anything complex.

Could TT have caught it? Yes to your question, not sure on mine!

Hell yeah!!

I have been screaming for the Bills to do plays like this for years even before TT, EJ and all the other recent dreck at QB. The Marchibroda offenses did stuff like this all the time. All I have ever heard from the purists on here is "oh that's a gadget play, not real football" or "Our QB's aren't good enough to run it" etc. Well an almost career backup just executed it perfectly.

Make no mistake, there was huge blowback after the Steelers Pats game. The NFL finally woke up to the fact that they need to respect their fan's intelligences and stop with stupidity surrounding a catch. It went on too long and there has been way too many games ruined by it. That just turns people away from the product.

I agree I used to like him a lot because he used to be unafraid to criticize the refs and stupid calls, but tonight he was abysmal. Stupid whining about the first controversial Eagles TD was bad enough but his idiocy on the winning TD where he actually seems to want it overturned based on the NFL's idiotic nebulous catch rule was too much. That was a catch and a run and a TD. All day and up until recently for decades. yet he picks that play to play devils advocate or act stupid. I really hope they are all fired at NBC, Al Michaels should retire and Collinsworth should be out the door as well. I thought they did a really crap job in the game coverage overall.
