For sure. Playing in the AFC East was a huge advantage for them. They never won a Super Bowl in a year they didnt have a first round bye in the playoffs. Having to win 2 games to get to the Super Bowl rather than 3 is big for any team, and it played a huge part in them being a dynasty. Helped that their dynasty was during the time the NFL had both the 1 and 2 seed have 1st round byes. Another reason I am not sure we will ever see another dynasty. It is a drag the Jets and Dolphins both have hope in their corner now. The good news is I dont see Rogers playing as long as Brady. Miami will have to figure out a way to pay everyone, and from the looks of it the team runs through Tyreek more than it runs through Tua. Can only hope they pay Tua. Brady was incredible to watch. Just an absolute surgeon. His arm seemed to get stronger as the years went on as well.

Reid may even pass him for all time wins when its all said and done. I've said it for awhile now, I think Belichick is a fine coach, but he was a fine coach on his way to being fired for a second time when Bledsoe got hurt and ushered in the Brady era. Once Brady went to Tampa Bay and won another title without Belichick, I think it more than sealed the deal, Brady made Belichick. I am not sure anyone will ever match what the Patriots did during that era, but it was a perfect storm of things coming together. Playing in the AFC East with three other teams who virtually wasted decades of time with bad coaching hires, and roster management helped a great deal. Belichick also plays a part in it, but if we are being honest there are a few coaches who have a better win percentage all time than Belichick without great QBs. John Madden, George Allen, George Halas, and Paul Brown all come to mind. I think its a fairly easy argument to say their legacies in football are a fair bit more revolutionary than Belichick's as well. He may be the best coach lately, but he is not the best coach of all time.

Levy's win percentage is .418. Belichick's win percentage without Brady is something like .457. Pretty sure Bill Walsh never coached without Montana as a starter so that point is moot. Love Jim Kelly but he is far from Tom Brady. Point remains, if you're going to call someone the best coach to ever coach he probably shouldn't be a failure without a great Quarterback, otherwise he was just an average coach who got lucky to have a great quarterback.

He's incredible. But to call out "Allen Haters" when the really negative Allen comments come during the game day threads, based solely on immediate reactions is a bit much. Should you "show yourself the door" for starting threads on McDermott when the guy is 30 wins over .500, has made the playoffs 6 of 7 years, and outcoached the "genius" last night? No, you should keep posting because thats what this board is for. To have discussion with fellow Bills' fans, to calm one another down, and to have community. I think when the dust settles pretty much everyone on this board would choose Allen over every other QB in the league. I've routinely said he is the 2nd best QB in the league, very arguable he has become the best, and clearly the most important to his team. Everyone should continue to have their own opinions, but I think we can all agree GO BILLS!

It wasn't good and it's no longer surprising.

Dear Josh Allen, I am an idiot. I'll probably be an idiot again. Thank you.

About time the special teams showed up

Let's goooo

I.never want to hear again the "narrative" about Allen being a turnover machine isn't true. Bills don't have a coach problem they have a QB problem.

Should have went play action there.

Holds.

Bills need to find a real OC in the offseason. Can't keep trying to win games 21 to 14.

He's nowhere close to Brett Favre.

This is awesome.

Well, that was something.

What the Bills could have done is just take care of the business during the year so we don't have upset fans making these posts.

Ravens QBs play NFL football like its Madden. 10 step drop. Move out of pocket to the right. Launch it to open guy.

This game is awful.

Remember last year when the Bengals were starting second string guards vs the Bills and the entire oline was banged up? Dont put too much stock into injury reports. Even the backups are NFL players.

Where does he play in the NFL CB or Safety?

If beer and football were an acceptable answer I think we'd be all set.

My wife asked me why I've been so distant this week......

MY LORD!!!!! Is it Sunday yet! Need Bills Football!

Major snubs for Oliver and Douglas. You could probably consider Josh a snub, kind of odd the guy who leads the league in total touchdowns isnt a pro bowler, but Lamar is the darling of the NFL right now. NFL needs to do away with the Pro Bowl and just do the All Pro List.
