    I was ready to call him an idiot for misspelling "forum."

     

     

    You're a ***** idiot.  Go away.

    That would have been hilarious if you made fun of me for mispelling forum. It's even funnier that the tough guy routine was your second option. Hey guess what?? Not everyone is going to to agree with you on this "FORM" bucko.

    Either you really think he hasn't figured out what type of board it is that he has frequented for 10 years to the tune of 28,000 posts or you're a douche who thinks they are the arbiter of which topics we are allowed to discuss.  No matter where the truth lies, you should consult @DC Tom for a quick IQ test.

    So I am a douche because I think a guy on here that posted a lot for 10 years is a miserable ass that apparently needs his groupies to stick up for him? Does he throw you a signed drumstick every once in awhile?

    Nope. Just one the best--top 5 for instance.

     

    They did have other dominant seasons.  The '90 D (13 ppg) was even better than  the '86 D (  14.7 per game).

     

    With regard to Taylor, how did that make him unique amongst so many of his peers?  Anyone who cites that as THE reason for giving high props to that D either wasn't alive at that time or didn't/doesn't understand how pro sports worked at that time.  You can put an asterisk next to his career if you want, but you can't put it on the D--or logically use it in any argument against them. 

     

    Teams were filled with guys on PEDs and coke, yet few dominated.  They did.

     

     

     

    Nah, I don't have talent for it.  I just goof on the serially redundant threads.

     

    But I'm sure the mods could use a guy with your zeal. 

    Thanks for the glowing review but unfortunately the best position I can offer you is my assistant in an unofficial capacity. A job like this might make you a happier person, ya never know.

    Of the respondents, yes.

     

    As for your never ending patrol for thread topic purity "on a Bills board", I don't need to inform you that, at this very moment, there are active threads about CJ Anderson, Ravens "in trouble", Ray Guy, Big Ben (done with football??),  Adam Gase, Beastmode signing, Jalen Ramsey and at least 4 different patriots threads.

     

    Get back to work!!

    You're hired, it looks like I might have just found my assistant. I will not be paying anything but, the respect you will earn will be invaluable.

    Taylor wrote a book about his cocaine addiction---it was published in 1987.  So your statement doesn't make much sense.

     

    Why single out LT?  That's the point.

     

     

    Sure I did.  Drug use was pervasive.  Yet only a few Defenses dominated throughout that time.  So claiming that the Giants success (or one player) in particular was due to "drug use"  isn't credible. 

    I think after this discussion on a Bills board it is pretty clear your opinion is not shared with most.

     

    The Giants D was good but the only top ten list they should be near the top of is the "top in franchise history."

    We really can't identify opponents in the playoffs. They are the 4 divisional winners and all of them are good to great teams.  They all pose a unique match up problem that needs to be countered. And all 3 phase of the game has to shine as otherwise we will be beat.   The QBs in the AFC side in the playoffs are:

      - Tom Brady

      - Lamar Jackson

     -  Watson

     -  Mahomes 

     

    If Josh Allen makes mistakes, these four QBs will make you pay.

    Brady and lamar really made us pay when they played us lol.

    We did Allen was good that game. He had a high completion percentage and higher than normal yards throwing. Right now he’s had two weeks of crap completion percentage and under 150 yards throwing. That’s not good enough I don’t know where anyone who’s not a bills fan would say that’s good enough. 

    So you consider barely 50% completion percentage and under 159 yards passing great? And a recipe for a super bowl? I don’t. Glad you do though. Keep it up. You’re clever. 

    Damn your fantasy team must have taken a big hit, sorry for your loss.

     

    You should start watching the actual games though, you might pick up on some things that you don't by just looking at the box score.

    Always an excuse.....  They've played conservative all year long.  Sunday was a new low.  

     

    This Development excuse is cr$p.....  He is 25 games in & they have yet to give him the keys to the car.  

     

    Allen is their future.  He has shown the ability to win in the 4trh quarter. Time to see what he can do for 60 minutes.

    Sorry, Football is about winning real games not your Fantasy League.

     

    Josh and the rest of the team have 10 wins and 4 losses, pretty straight forward I think.

    Those were not random games--they were the Dolphins last two opponents. 

     

    Your sub needs a new CO2 scrubber...

    The Dolphins Beat the Jets in their first meeting and why would the dolphins be pumped up to play the equally bad record Giants?

     

    If you missed it, the Poster talks about the the Patriots beating and running up the score at their house in the beginning of the year.

     

    What he is trying to explain, that you seem to have missed, is that being embarrassed at home is some great motivation for a team with nothing to lose in their final game and this should be easy for Flores to sell. 

     

    I'm not sure why you are trying to prove the guy wrong? 

     

    And great joke.

    Don't forget he use to use that language in the Hood because it was part of his culture. Yeah so did I in my "hood", it doesn't make it right in the public's perception.

     

    Just say sorry and move on, he's dumb.

    Mystery solved: 22 of those turnovers came against the Jets, Bills, Dolphins, Giants and Browns Offenses......

    Yea they got a ton of turnovers from the Bills and their tied for 5th least turnovers this year, even when a third of them came from that game. 

    1/3 of the Jets turnovers also came from the Pats.

     

    Statistically improbable+Proof of Prior incidents of cheating = nothing to see here? hmm... lol

    From the accounts I have read - the Bengals security videotaped them taping the sideline.  They were doing it in plain view and not hiding it.  The security team then told them it was against the rules and that was when they stated “could we delete the film”.

     

    It sounds to me like someone getting caught doing something wrong and trying to get out of trouble.  

     

    Whether they knew or not depends solely on what lens you want to look through.  If you assume it was nefarious and they knew - it is a terrible look and signals guilt.  If you assume they are just some random guys hired to film a part of a series - then it is an accident and oh crud - how can I quickly make s right- I don’t need this - can I just get rid of it and we move on.

     

    Either way - the Pats need to be punished.  The difference is the level of involvement- does it hit Belichek or not.

    It obviously it should hit Belicheat, they did this before during Spygate. Literally almost the exact same thing except this time it might be a real documentary being used as cover.

    The film crew asked to delete the footage not the scout.  
     

    If you were told that you took photos of something inappropriate- what would you suggest?  My party was in Vegas years ago and they were taking pictures of some lovely ladies on the strip being very inappropriate and their “manager” stopped them and basically said you can’t take photos and as being aggressive.  The first though was of crap - can I get rid of the photos and not get in an further trouble here.

     

    It is a perfectly valid response in both an innocent situation and if they were doing something completely illegal.  The response is the same - I still goes to the reason why it was done and if it was a one time or many time thing.

     

     

    So you agree they knew it was against the rules even though they were a "third party production crew?" 

  13. 4 minutes ago, Rochesterfan said:


     

    I would agree 100% if it was Pats video crews doing the taping, but like many of these produced documentaries- it is typically outsourced to independent film crews.  
     

    I have no idea what they have been told or not, but it was already stated on previous videos - this crew was allowed to tape activities on the Pats sideline of coaches and players for other segments of the documentary.  My guess would be a true independent crew would not see the difference in taping the Pats sideline for earlier pieces and taping the Bengals sideline to roll under the advanced scout job function.

     

    Look - I totally agree that it looks really bad looking through the lens of the Pats history, but I can totally buy where this type of thing could happen by a crew that doing what they consider to be their job in filming this segment.

     

    Things like this happen all the time where something is done and posted or filmed and you do not realize the impact because you are looking at it from one perspective and not another.  The Sam Darnold seeing ghosts comment - never should have aired live that night - it was a bad look by a production team that makes for good TV, but is not something they would allow to go out.  
     

    I totally agree that that the screw up in an of itself deserves punishment and I stated as much.  What I can not say is whether I believe his was done deliberately and the entire organization deserves punishment - or if this was a true accidental move - where they deserve punishment, but not at an individual coaching/owner level.

     

    I could easily see something like this happening with the Bills production crew - doing video of draft work or front office management and caching something on tape that is inappropriate or against the rules and it being a rue accident.  I also understand the Pats have already used up their credit with the previous cheating and you are free o assume the worst - I have no issue with that - that is totally your prerogative and right - I just am waiting to find out if this is the only situation or not because there is no reason to be filming the Bengals - that would be a stupid team to get caught against.

    Again..... why would they ask to delete the film then?

    My problem is this: what possible reason could the film crew have to shoot the Bengals' sideline for 8 full minutes of game time?

     

    Well, that's one of my problems. There's also the matter of why only the visiting team was informed, and how it's possible that an organization as detailed and as publicly notorious for unsavory action as NE****** could not make absolutely, 100% certain that anyone associated with them follows procedure to a tee.

     

    Then there's the whole massive coincidence that this occurs the very week prior to them playing the team whose sideline they filmed.

     

    Not to mention that the spygate article specifically mentions having built-in excuses in place such as "shooting a team documentary" and wearing non-team apparel. Oh, and the crew was shooting from a location in the box where they didn't belong.

     

    For good measure, they also asked if they could just delete the footage and forget about it.

     

    It absolutely stinks.

    It's obvious to the objective observer that they took their built-in excuses a step further to cover their ass, they needed a real back story. So you need to also have a real documentary, instead of fake press credentials.

    I will not absolve the Pats of Cheating or whatever they did in this issue, but there are a few massive issues with your take.

     

    First - the Browns were the home team and they were informed of the crew being on site and doing the filming.  The NFL and the Bengals should have been informed, but if the true intent was to get info about how advanced scouting works - they really only needed to get permission of the home team to have a camera in the booth.

     

    Second - what does an advance scout do - he records plays, signals, situations, anything that is going on that can prepare the team for the upcoming game.  Again not to believe the Pats, but if you are doing a discussion on all of that and you want to run video under the discussion- it would make perfect sense to film what he is looking at.  He is watching the Bengals sideline - that is what I would want running underneath so as he talks about his job - you can show what he is doing.

     

    The conspiracy that it just happens to be their upcoming opponent in the Bengals makes sense because that is where the advanced scout would be.  The advanced scout is not being sent to a team they are not playing - he is going to their next opponent to begin gather advanced intel - so that makes complete sense that it would occur at that game.

     

    Look - none of that is to say that this is not 100% a bull pucky lie to film upcoming opponents- I would not put that past the Pats, but it could also be 100% a true innocent mistake.  The issue is that NE does not - nor should they - get any benefit of the doubt because they have already done this and because this follows the exact pattern given in the past about how to handle this situation.

     

    The problem is I really do not know which it is and I am not sure how you could ever tell.  There is enough plausible deniability that this could go 100% either way.  The admission by the Pats was an acknowledgement that the film crew was wrong, but not that the football side did anything wrong.  The fact that this film crew - has been given permission previously to film the Pats sideline as they previewed other jobs blurs the line even more as they did not have an issue doing that - why is this different.

     

    I think in the end - the NFL should definitely punish the team - fairly heftily- but unless there is something connecting it to the football side - I do not punish Belichick.  A fine and loss of another pick - highest 1st rounder - as a start because ultimately they are responsible for the functionality of their crew, but if you find anything that shows knowledge of this and understanding from the football side - they should burn it down. 

    Except the Advance scout asked to delete the footage, why would he do that if it was an "innocent mistake"?
