  1. Belichick jettisons players before they hit their peak. The one exception is Brady. Brady is past his peak and his still around. Why? The great Garoppolo was standing in the wings ready to go.

     

    I believe Brady is still around because Kraft made him untouchable. I believe Belichick was ready to move on from the Brady era and into the Garoppolo era last season. But Kraft stepped in and made Brady untouchable which forced Belichick into a trade with SFO.

     

    Some reports from the period painted Brady as very insecure about Garoppolo---and suggest that Brady lobbied Kraft to get Garoppolo traded. Believable.

     

    Yes. The Patsies do have a Tom Brady problem, and it's their own fault.

    Agreed, there are throws a big guy just makes easier.  Allen did miss a lot of guys with a halfstep open downfield  On the flip side way too many drops again today.  Teams will continue to defend the Bills like this till he starts hitting some of those balls.  Wish they give Duke a chance 

    Ya.. I'd like to see more of the Duke. He's a big fella.

     

    Apparently the strike against Duke is he's not versatile. In other words, he can't contribute to special teams. Cusp players break into the roster by being able to make a special teams contribution.

  3. Reminds me a of a story... A December game against the Fish. My young daughter didn't dress appropriately (my fault for not supervising). It was snowing heavily and very cold.

     

    She starts crying, I think she's getting frostbite. It's time to leave or else I'll get prosecuted for bad parenting. I ended up carrying her on my back to the car, which by the grace of God I found right away.

     

    We ended up watching the game at a nearby Dickies Donuts. We slaughtered the Fish.

     

    Moral of the story: over-dress the kiddos. Or you may miss an epic game.

    Someone dunk on me if I'm way off base, but is anyone getting the sense that he treats the first opponent drive of the game a little differently? Not that he want the opponent to score, but is he purposely not dialing up his best stuff as he gathers information?

    I heard that same sentiment on the WGR post game show.

    Dont the Bills have a basic analytics guy to advise them?

    I think their analytics is done during the week and focuses on bigger questions than forth and goal. I suspect there  is not a game day analytics operation that works on a down by down basis.

     

    Nice work on the analysis. I didn't know Minitab was still a thing. I thought everybody moved to R. I used Minitab decades ago in a quality assurance application.
