The Fredonia Curse

Ignoring his constant clock management mistakes, challenge success rates and overall football IQ. Yea he was pretty good.

You guys do realize that Rex hasn't been "rolled" by the Patriots in over 5 years? Every game he's coached since he became HC with the Jets has been close. This is going to be a nail biter. That's why the spread is so low. If Rex knows anything it's how to beat Brady. His team just has to show up.

Thanks. What is a reverse trap and how would that work in this instance? He plays the Patriots better than any other HC in the NFL (not counting 2007 and 2012 Coughlin). He lives for these games and his schemes usually do well against Brady. He's very good at drawing up exotic blitzes up the middle to prevent Brady from stepping up. If he puts the team in the position to win tomorrow he deserves a lot of credit.

The line opened at 4 and got pushed all the way to 7 offshore and 6.5 in Vegas. The books are absolutely terrified of a Pats cover. This is almost identical to the Steelers-Dolphins game 2 weeks ago. Low closing line that everyone thought was easy money. If it seems to good to be true....it always is. I'm hoping to snag Bills ML at +240 tomorrow morning. It's +225 at MGM and +220 everywhere else. You living in Vegas by any chance?

Fun facts for you guys from a Vegas analytics Bills fan Rex has kept the Patriots within 8 points in all of his last 7 games dating back to his Jets days. The most popular bet this week at all Vegas books and offshore sites is Patriots -6.5 by far. About 95% of the money is on the Pats covering. Books around the world are set to lose ~50 million if the Pats cover. Expect a very close game with some weird illegal contact, holds, roughing the passer type penalties that go the Bills way. Don't be surprised if the Bills win outright. You heard it here first.

4) before the half? I thought he played it perfect. We were playing for a field goal knowing we got the ball to start the 3rd. 6) Fisher made 2 awful calls at the end of the game. Coaches have lost their jobs over less. 8) Dude is an absolute baller. Very few mistakes. Fred Jackson is smiling. 9) Gilmore has become one of the most inconsistent DBs I've ever watched. He flashes some serious recovery speed and ball skills.

What's our record at the end of the season? Just win baby.

Great point. Thank you.

I live in Vegas and watch everything. Where do you rank Tyrod overall compared to the other 31 starting QBs? I've seen some pretty terrible interceptions, believe it or not.

Not sure how you define a game manager, but it usually leads to 8 in the box. Tyrod isn't that.

So Tyrod stops winning and we go 7-9. We should snag our franchise QB at #16 right?

You do realize that McCoy puts up 20 carries 40 yards with a low price "game manager". Watch the games man.

Take a look at the way his contract is structured. He won't be a 20m backup.

So we cut him next year right? You guys are out of your mind. Would Tyrod have won the SB last year as the Broncos starting QB? Yes. Play D, force turnovers, don't turn the ball over, put enough points up to win games ON THE ROAD.

Just curious, how many QBs throw that TD pass to Justin Hunter? Maybe 5? I know you gave him his props on his 1st quarter, but if we don't put up 6 there, I think we lose this game.

Fire Rex and promote the marketing team. Somehow they got us to buy season tickets. Geniuses.

Did anyone notice that first play from scrimmage was an OPI as the dolphins wide out set a pick about 3 yards up the field. Was some great foreshadowing on how the rest of the game would go.

I take the losses extremely tough, I was fuming at the Gilmore PI call last night and actually punched the wall. Took a lot of deep breaths to not throw my phone at the TV.

Damn right

That was wonderful.

I give a ton of credit to Marrone for throwing Carpenter out there for the 58 yarder. It was an easy call to make but I feel like some of the last few coaches (jauron, gailey) would've sent the punt team out and played for OT... I loved every second of it. Great game all around. I just moved to a new city and spent $80 on shots for all the people around me at the Bills bar when that kick went through. Gonna regret that tomorrow. Huge game next week but I'm extremely confident. Go bills!!!!

I chuckled. Well done.

Come on now. His talents were just being misused.

Mike Vanderjagt reference? Now that guy could drink.

I saw TJ Graham got thrown into the discussion. He actually very well could be one of the worst all around football players this team has ever seen. I cringed every time I saw him catch a ball with his body. The guy had absolutely no natural pass catching ability. He had no place on even the worst of collegiate football program's WR corps. How he even made it into the NFL is beyond me. Dude should've got his degree and started coaching girls middle school track and field. Or maybe head over to Enterprise like all the rest of us.
