Well, I would say last Sunday was a HUGE break for us, given all the wins that went out way. I feel like, in all my 41 years of fandom, I've never seen a Sunday landslide like that: Chiefs, Fish, Jets, Tennessee, all falling... That's a huge break!
You seriously want MY reaction when Allen fumbled in his own EZ against SKOL?
Me: "This is the NFL narrative, playing out as big money wants it to... The Buffalo Bills MUST be stopped at ALL COSTS..."
Sorry if I blinded you with the glare off my tin-foil hat... I've only worn it through all four SB losses...
This, precisely! We all know this regime values competition, and tries to make every role a battle to win. If Saffold is down to take a hometown discount, and we bring in a lower-round draft pick to learn and battle for a spot, that's optimal.
We absolutely required a tuddy, there. I know the D is rested, and playing well, but I never count out NE. This is the kind of team you need to grind into oblivion, to beat. They won't give up.
