Cleveland could have run the ball once. Just once. This is some questionable coaching.

Cleveland scored too fast.

Agreed in principle, but watching him go to pieces because he can't take a quarter of what he dishes out is good for a laugh. He reminded me of Will Farrell's "I'm John Rocker!" sketch.

Nick's decided antagonizing people is the best way to get attention in the social media driven, Click!Like!Subscribe! world of sports punditry. How sad

I thought he would make his plays and we'd still win. Holding him to jack squat is amazing.

Motivating your guys is one thing and it's critical, but then you've got to take care of the Xs and Os or else you're just jerking off. I don't see McD having to whip our guys into a frenzy to get their heads in the right place for this game.

He reminds me off all the guys in Hammer's trying open the portajohn door with their foreheads.

My guess is Daboll ran this by the analytics guys who told him it's better overall to just let them make their plays, then let the TJ Watts/Joey Bosas of the NFL dictate to your offensive game plan.

Your opinion is more tempered than mine. After 18 years of bragging, cheating, hometown spots, eye-rolling ref favoritism, getting the rules changed simply because their quarterback got hurt on a fluke play...not to mention the general *****ery like their totally-not-spy-assistant coaches turning up everywhere, running up the score because why not, and seeding every NFL broadcast team in the business with ex-Pats from the burned spygate tapes era...they haven't even started to get what's coming to them.

Dammit.

Why would the vets and opt outs come.back? There's no reason to take BB's ass chewing film sessions and Patriot Way BS if they aren't a contender. And they are not a contender let alone a dynasty anymore. Retire, or go somewhere else and get paid what the market will bear.

I predict a dramatic decrease in the number of "Brady" and "Bruschi" jerseys at the Ralph, and a dramatic increase in the number "Allen" and "Diggs" jerseys at Foxboro. Remember, this is the fan base that would walk out of Foxboro before halftime if B&B were down two scores.

Man, remember three months ago when Stidham was just a clone of Tawmy that would plug right in as if nothing had happened?

Maybe, just maybe, there's a dynasty starting here. A real one with multiple Lombardis.

Agreed. Josh still has some work to do on eating sacks and living to fight another day.

Watt is going to make his plays, just like Bosa did. As long as they aren't turnovers, we should be alright. A sack is just a TFL, and this offense has no trouble producing chunk plays.

Great take by the fan, and who is this guy Ronbo? He's better than about 90% of the hacks and windbags in sports commentary. I wish Bills social media types did an uncensored call-in show.

Why would Daboll want to leave? How freaking good are him and Josh? I know coordinators are supposed to become head coaches, but why not stay here with a franchise QB and build a dynasty?

The GMFB crew we're raving about him, so we're the NBC sports guys, and Shannon Sharpe was in awe of some of what he did. Nick Wright just needs a hug and some clicks. He's got nothing but to troll.

I love how Dabolls game plan targeted the strength of the 9ers defense. Their whole scheme fell apart once the learned they couldn't hold up against the pass. Didn't matter if they played man or zone or mix, Saleh was exposed last night.

Hey now, Tom Brady would have 7 rings and the Pats would own a 19-0 season if Dean Pees didn't call an all out blitz and decide to cover Plaxico Burress man to man on a fade.

I've got the feeling that the D we're seeing now is what McD and Frazier would have installed in a normal off-season. Shortened training time and Covid crap meant they had to water things down and rehash last year's schemes.

Credit to the excellence of the training/medical staff and Pegs investment in the facilities. The teams discipline too; look at Baltimore's Covid gutted roster, and we're damn close to a full bill of health entering the post season.

Ha! Sure, but I'd be alright with the bills being the worst 11-0 team ever.
