  1. I disagree. Yeah the GMFB crew gives the occasional shoutout to Bills mafia and whatever, but they’re just throwing a bone to the faithful.They quickly move on. Their obsession with the Patriots et al is undeniable to anyone watching for more than about 15 minutes.
  2. Again, the list is silly NFLN hype. I’d say most are aware it’s a player vote, ( so is the pro bowl, in part) but that often becomes a popularity contest. Players vote for their friends, those in contract years etc. The Bills are an afterthought on that network, and around the league in many ways. Bottom line, the list doesn’t mean much.
  3. Just silly NFLN hype. The Bills are afterthought in every aspect with their coverage. Doesn’t mean a thing.
  4. I think the Bills believe they know what they have in Nsekhe, as he has a lot of experience. They might want to get a good look at what Ford can do, especially early on. While Nsekhe has obvious value as a backup/ swing player , I wouldn’t close the book on him emerging as one of the starting 5 OL at all.
  5. Showing up in that Oscar Meyer “ weinermobile” would have been more appropriate for that guy.
  6. Iirc, he had a few disagreements with some high profile posters at the time and it escalated from there. Not sure of the specifics
  7. What nonsense. Where did I state that Clinton did not get more votes ? Massive Russian interference ? How many Russians voted in the election ? How many votes were changed by Russians? Oh that’s right, zero. Face it , the election was a referendum on Clinton and caused by disdain for her and the lefts policies.
  8. So pretty much Hillary slayed it in California, not so much anywhere else. That fact speaks volumes, yet the libs go on with their drivel about the electoral college.... And that’s exactly what the Dems want. Lawlessness and violence.. neuter the Cops and let the crims out of jail , do away with bail,while you’re at it. “ restorative justice “ scary stuff. Just awful...
  9. I don’t care if he never wins father of the year. As long as he doesn’t win any more playoff games or Superbowls.
  10. Likewise. The greater point of my analysis was not to discredit, but rather to state that the matchup between the NYG offense and the Bills defense had a much greater impact on the outcome of the game. Far more than the much ballyhooed B.B. led defense vs the Bills offense. In fact, the Bills offense produced exactly the same amount of points that it did in their victory over the Giants in NY several weeks prior. The defense, however was a different story. It was telling that Parcells stated “ power football wins” and cited the soft middle of the Bills D line when exalting in the win immediately after the game.
  11. That would include NYG and Belichick fans.
  12. Hmmm. The Trump thing is one of the few I actually like about Brady.
  13. Children are expensive. There’s probably a lot of folks for whom children are a fiscally irresponsible proposition. They have them anyway. Of course , the liberal view will be that they need / deserve help from the tax dollars of others.
  14. Hey, I can’t make the question any better than it is.
  15. Years of media driven conditioning to believe in the mystical powers of Belichick, rather than just believing what your eyes see. It’s overridden common sense at this point. The closest parallel in the modern passing era is the 49ers. Their success continued under a lesser HC due to the QB and an incredibly good immediate replacement. That Brady has done it without anything close to a Jerry Rice at WR is even more astounding. He’s the most consistent performer I’ve ever seen at QB. His few bad outings are the only time they lose. Other than that it takes a truly superior performance by the opposing QB , such as Foles in the SB vs Eagles. .
  16. I don’t know if Merriman is to blame, but I think he’s had a checkered past. Knowledge is power, and while we should have that expectation it al depends on who else is at that party. Obviously the perp is far more to blame than the victim in any case.
  17. He can, but the odds are probably against it.
  18. Not victim blaming, that’s a liberal catchphrase and it’s far too broad. There is something to be said for not putting oneself in harm’s way in exchange for cheap rewards. That’s just a factual statement and the truth isn’t always PC enough to satisfy libs. I don’t know the whole story here but the conversation is more in general Fair point, and it’s just as foolish.
  19. It’s also sad that some women will choose to hang around creeps who happen to have money. Their lust for a piece of that life is too much to overcome. No one deserves to die over sex, but let’s be honest here. There are often blatant warning signs in these types of relationships, yet they continue to hang around. You’re correct that we don’t know if Merriman had anything to do with this, but someone did. It does still take two to tango, and there’s only so much one can do if someone wants to hang around a sleazy element because they lack a backbone.
  20. So they will continue to dominate by running the ball ? Why would they try to do this? Oh , because : no Brady. There’s your answer right there. You appear to be shell shocked by the Pats beyond all logic. This isn’t 1975, no team is going to dominate with a ground game in this era. Anyway, I think B.B. doesn’t risk tarnishing his legacy and exits around the same time as Brady.
  21. Again, I’ll disagree. I could see Brady winning those Superbowls , perhaps even on two different teams. I cannot see the Head Coach pulling that off, though. I think Belichick could win a couple, but Brady would win more. The Superbowls they lost were the ones where the opposing QB was just a bit better that day than Brady. Two of the wins would almost certainly have been losses if not for the opposition choking / self destructing with terrible decisions.Those were on SEA and ATL , not Brady or B.B. I’d have to go back to the first SB win vs Rams to find one where I think B.B. gave them the deciding edge. I’m actually surprised at the results of this poll, as the Bills have needed a QB since Kelly retired. Yet the HC gets all the credit here.
  22. But are they as good ? Even removing the divisional advantage that Brady has enjoyed throughout the run ( no other good QBs in the East) , stats and talent alone don’t = winning football. I can’t stand Brady, but I know what I see. The guy just rarely has a bad day, makes very few mistakes and almost never makes more mistakes than the QB across from him. He does this more consistently than any QB I’ve seen. So, I’m not sure your theory holds water. Who says those QBs are as good as Brady, game in and game out ? Certainly the New England offensive staff/ system deserves some credit. Their system has arguably been the best and most consistent in the last dozen years or so. That’s not Belichick’s side of the ball ( let me guess , you’ll give him credit for the offense as well). The greater point though, is stats and media accolades don’t mean those QBs are interchangeable with Brady.
  23. No , I haven’t been napping through the 18 years of football torture. It’s been all too real. However, the dynasty is due to Brady. While I didn’t say that’s all Belichick is , none of what the Pats are thought of as today happens without Brady. Some could say that about the Coach, but they’d be wrong. It’s the QB, then anything else.
  24. Not many , if any of those teams managed to become a dynasty though. That’s where the great QB comes in. B.B. is an excellent defensive coach, but that doesn’t get you what it used to in the NFL. A QB that makes very few mistakes, and rarely makes more errors than the opposing QB is paramount. The Pats may have stumbled into a SB win , but the dynasty doesn’t happen without Brady. Bill Walsh was considered the best Coach of his time , and was called “ the genius”. He was an offensive guru in an era when defense still mattered a lot. The forty niners dynasty continued without him, winning Superbowls under George Seifert. The key was they had Joe Montana, then Steve Young took over.
  25. I’m sure the Bills coaches noticed , as they watched the game film. Kelly definitely called too many passing plays, though. It’s always tougher to beat a team twice in a season, regardless of who their D coordinator is. The Bills offense scored the same amount of points in both games vs the Giants though, 17. The defense chipped in 2 points with a safety. After the game, the Giants Head Coach, Bill Parcells made some telling comments. Keep in mind that Parcells was a defensive minded Coach. He said the Bills “ are a little soft up the middle if you run right at ‘em “ and declared “ power football wins”. Yes, the Bills defense cost them a Super Bowl title that night. The slow, plodding Giants with a backup QB should have been held under 14 points. They had an elite defense, but 17- 20 points was totally realistic against them and enough for a win if the defense made a few key tackles. Belichick didn’t have a huge impact on SB XXV; the Bills D and Kelly’s playcalling had a greater role in the outcome.
