Wasn't that the marketing slogan for EJ's first season
How did that turn out
Most of this thread is a marketing slogan. If you don't think the Pats are going to come out to prove a point on Sunday after we shut them out at home vs. the JV I want some of the happy drugs you take. This is going to be a beatdown of epic proportions and they absolutely will run up the score until the final gun.

When you have 16 games on Sunday, people can only watch 2-3 on Sunday at most. If you spread it out, you can get people to watch games during the week. They would do one each day of the week if they could get away with it.
Except they aren't.

why...
frankly how could you tell the difference?

****ty owners beget ****ty teams
We would be the authorities on this matter.

Can we please just do away with TNF as a whole?
only if they take MNF with it.

This is how the networks (not the NFL) pay for the huge TV contracts that: A) bring us free football all season, B) cover the entire cost of roster salaries for every owner in the league. The networks make NFL football free for everyone--from fan to owner.
None of this is new, or news. None of this explains the current drop-off in ratings. TD/commercial/PAT/commercial/kickoff/commercial has been the routine for years. The broadcast has to get 10 commercial breaks per half. That's the deal the networks paid for years ago.
People are losing their minds over this, yet the don't understand that this is how it works and has been this way for years. The disdain for the NFL gets increasingly more misplaced and bizarre.
They over-saturated the marketplace at the same time that they were messing with the essence of the core product with rule changes. People are bored with it.
Another thought is that they alienated a big chunk of middle America when they left St. Louis for LA. If LA didn't net any NEW viewers and only cannibalized their existing audience while people who actually liked St. Louis turned off the game that would get you your sudden lost viewer base. I haven't seen anyone reporting what ratings are in St. Louis and LA are compared to previous years.

um, what? You hope the Bills lose?
Yeah they can pretty much burn in hell at this point.

There's football on tonight?

I hope he is and that he beats the fool they hired.

Thursday ruined fantasy football for me. It made something that was fun and basically once a week way too much maintenance and work and not fun. That killed my interest in other teams.
I'm tired of the team I want to root for sucking constantly and that is what killed the rest. Sunday afternoon is now naptime after I get home from the rink and before I go back to the rink with my kids.

is there a shorter answer I can give than no?

...I mean seriously. A full strength Pats*** roster against our depleted WR corps, gimpy Shady, probably no AW?
Good god -- I'm going to go out tailgating at 8:30 and get blitzed so I just won't care.
My only questions are whether Brady will throw for 400 or 500 yards and whether the Pats will keep the margin under 50.
I'm watching. To hell with the wuss talk. Hope the Bills kick the snot out of NE so we put this garbage talk to bed.
Said I like 10 years ago. Brady's playing and the game matters? I learned my lesson.

I have Allen Robinson and Sammy on two of my fantasy football teams and was expecting big things from them. They are killing my team. I don't know what the problem with Allen and the Jags is this year
Never...draft...Bills...

complete with the big play highlights...
I can still see that game in my mind...Reed breaking away for a 72 yard TD, Metcalf going 90 yards for a big return TD right after we scored to take the lead...and of course Harmon dropping a perfectly thrown pas while he was wide open and the subsequent Clay Matthews INT to end it...
what a great game...and I agree, it was one of the greatest games nobody ever talks about...

It's fun to go back in these old games and count up how many penalties would be called today. Hint. It's tons. And the NFL wonders why ratings are down...

Sounds a lot like last week's game plan...
It should sound like every week's gameplan

Seems to have a much better pulse of the game and the team. Not needing to call a specific defense on 4th and 1 - reminding them to get the safety in. All good stuff.
Letting go of that control of the defense may be the best thing that ever happened to him if he's able to focus in the big picture better than before. I'd assume he trusts his brother implicitly and if he's tasked Rob with working with Thurman to execute the gameplan on gameday that'd be a smart move. He can actually look at what the offense is doing and, as we saw in previous weeks, help out the offensive staff with adjusting to the opposing defense. That sort of insight can be invaluable and an underrated benefit of having an experienced coordinator as your head coach. Not only do they help the area of expertise but they can advise the other side of the ball as well. Hoody is a defensive coach but his offenses excel at breaking down your defense methodically and often with surgical precision. This ability has transcended multiple coordinators and I'm sure Hoody has a lot to do with it.

the nflpa could really make them uncomfortable here if they want.
The NFLPA doesn't have a choice but to represent the rights of the player just like any other union member, whether they want to or not. If they don't they open themselves up to litigation from Brown.

Honestly it depends, but if you're already looking at 3rd and long just take the penalty (unless you're on the cusp of FG range)
I don't even mind using a timeout on third and long. IF you actually try to get a first down. But to use a timeout, then throw a two yard pass is what gets me.
Or call a timeout to then line up in an illegal formation.

I had no problems with Shady and thought he did well for what he was given.
I'm also not willing to sell-out Tyrod after one game. He didn't audible much meaning that they ran the called plays. The called plays were poor. There weren't guys running around free or deep. Never saw Clay run down the seam once
And repeatedly slow coming in.

How the hell do you fail the physical at this point in the year?
Not that I'm saying this happened, but if I'm an NFL team and I'm going to bother having physicals guys are peeing in a cup for me. If I claim a fringe guy on waivers and he's got a hot urine during my physical it seems to me he just failed his physical.

Don't any of you get tired of eating your own words? Ever? When's the last time the Bills HAVEN'T let you down? Doesn't running your mouth like an idiot beforehand just make that worse?
If you've been paying any attention at all for the last decade and a half your response to this weekend should be to keep your mouth shut and pray heavily.
