  1. It would probably be better for the Bills if the Chiefs won but I can’t bring myself to root for them. Plus I think the Texans win this one fairly easily. I see their defense destroying the chiefs offense.
  2. I really don’t understand why so many seem to want to clutch defeat from the jaws of victory. Will Brady adapt if teams go full in against the run? I think so. The truly horrible game Brady had this year was the Texans game. One hopes he learned from that. Once Kincaid is back you’ll have him, Cooks, Shakir, Palmer, and 3 RBs that can all catch the ball. So yeah Ivthink he can piece something together.
  3. Lombardi’s Packers ran the power sweep all game and dared teams to stop it. They never could. Not saying what we did Sunday is Packeresque, but if you find something that works as well as that play did you run it till the opposition proves they can stop it. And they couldn’t.
  4. Come on Mafia, we’re better than this. If you took it give it back.
  5. Define a complete game. Yesterday the defense completely shut down the Steelers. The offense dominated and held the ball for 42 minutes, dominating a Steelers defense prone to the run. The only thing that wasn’t complete was the one missed extra point. Or does a complete game mean you have to throw a ball X number of times even if you are killing the other team running the ball. Let’s switch it around and say you have the same kind of defensive performance, but the offense throws all day because the opposing defense has a weak back 7. Would that be a complete victory, or would we have had to run more. You play to win the game. This time of year do what you have to, run, pass, both. Doesn’t matter to me.
  6. Point # 5 is just silly IMHO. Brady has not done well the past couple games but he was spot on yesterday. He found a weakness in that the Steelers couldn’t handle the run and exploited it.
  7. We have to cut out the dumb mistakes. Even yesterday the 2 turnovers, the false starts, and Epenesa’s idiotic penalty could have cost us. Play solid football and we should impose our will against them.
  8. Good God, just stop will you? Can’t you enjoy a victory for even 24 hours without getting your panties in a bunch? I have been critical of Brady the last several weeks and when they threw that idiot screen thing to Shakir early I was screaming at the TV. But give credit for yesterday: he knew we had backup tackles in, he saw the Steelers were vulnerable to the run, and he exploited it. It doesn’t mean they have to run for 250 yards a game to win. Get over yourself. We have a week to week season now. Cincy’s defense hasn’t played well, let’s see how he schemes for that. They have Cooks now, they have Gabe who has always had good rapport with Josh, get Palmer back, Shakir of course. He’ll even Coleman caught a TD pass yesterday. Kincaid should be back, and they have 3 RB that can be effective in the pass game. Sure Brady sucked against Houston. But he was pretty damn smart yesterday. And it’s OK to enjoy that.
  9. Both. Beane brings them in, Kromer coaches them up.
  10. Possible but unlikely.
  11. They chipped guys with TEs so that helped. But let’s give credit where credit is due. Brady saw a weakness to exploit on their run D and did so.
  12. Jones seems to be regressing to the mean
  13. Broncos #22 just showed what’s wrong with defense these days. Just throw a shoulder at the guy, no attempt to actually tackle, and the result is a TD
  14. Brady did well today. He found something the Steelers could not stop and hammered them with it. I swear some here would rather they had tried to throw the ball all day and lose.
