    Based on the number of Brady jerseys you see around, hard to believe anywhere near 75% hatred  if you exclude the fan base of other AFC East teams.  I think alot of the NE hatred is due to them winning so much and more due to BB but then becomes projected on Brady.  Yes he's had a few bad looks, but nothing off the field.

     

    Read an article awhile back and talked about how you don't see Brady doing a bunch of commercials, movies and other off the field things. All he's focused on is winning and keeping his body in tip top shape.

     

    A lot of people have noticeably come around to Brady in recent years. He definitely isn't as hated as he used to be. Not sure how some people aren't seeing this.

    I think they win, and the Bills have 11 days to get their act together for the home stretch. 

     

    If they lose, they can still pull it together, win the division and so make the playoffs, but the self-analysis will need to deeper, and it will come amidst intense media and fan criticism. It wouldn't be a pleasant 11 days for them or us. 

     

    Nope. This is absolutely a must win in a tight AFC. New England has outscored their opponents 175-50 in their last five games. If we don't start winning immediately then they will run away with the division. They will likely split with us and then they have Jacksonville and Miami to close the year. I'd also heavily favor them against a team with as many injuries as Tennessee. You have to assume they're winning 11 games MINIMUM when you look at their schedule.

    So, they should blow it all up and rebuild or what? 

     

    A few weeks ago the Pats and Chiefs were two of the worst teams in football and now they look like they are on a crash course for the AFC Championship game.  Things can change quickly in the NFL.  McDermott has earned the benefit of the doubt from me for now.  Today was almost entirely self inflicted and things we can (hopefully) clean up.   Let's see how we bounce back on Thursday and against the Pats.  I'm not about to wave the white flag at 6-4 in a season where there are no dominant teams from week to week 


    Two of the worst teams in football? What kind of hyperbole is this? The Patriots and Chiefs were never actually two of the worst teams in football. The Pats had a bad loss to Miami and then lost a couple of one score games to contenders. Chiefs early season was similar.

    Patriots could be a problem...

     

    They're a fringe playoff team at best but they're better than most people give them credit for. They'll give us a fight and might even steal a game if the Bills don't come to play. They've played everyone close except for the Saints.

    I think Mac Jones might legitimately be terrible. He does not have an NFL arm. Way too easy to defend that kind of QB.

     

    Terrible is probably a bit much. He's just your typical low ceiling QB who can start for short stretches. He could probably take a good team to the playoffs. The Patriots have bigger problems than Mac Jones. Their entire team is trash. No receivers, no running back, terrible o-line, disappointing defense, etc. That team is going to be bad for at least another five years. I do however think it'd be in their best interest to move on from him as soon as possible.

  6. The Saints-Bucs game confirmed what most people already knew. Anyone who watched a Patriots game last year knew that Brady was washed up. Belichick didn't let him go for no reason. Even in their Super Bowl win against the Rams he was mediocre and was hard carried by an elite defense. I maintain that Cam is a huge upgrade for them over current Brady if he remains healthy (BIG IF).

    I think it's possible that Cam is competent. But I watched his last several games in a Panthers uniform and I would not use that word to describe what I saw, even with shoulder issues. He was awful. He still may be bad, even if hes healed (and it's tough to assume hell remain healthy at this point)

     

    It wasn't just his shoulder. He had a pretty bad foot injury too from what I remember.

  8. Their dynasty is finished but someone like Dalton is not an immediate downgrade over a 43 year old Brady. Did everyone forget how bad this guy sucked last year? If Brady was still good Belichick would have paid him. If they DO suck massively next year then that puts them in the running to draft Trevor Lawrence which is...yea... Everyone knows what Belichick is all about. He is absolutely the kind of guy who is sleazy enough to throw the season to get a franchise QB. If he plans to keep coaching he absolutely isn't going to want to do it with Andy Dalton as his guy. McDaniels would do the same thing. I'm rooting for them to suck but not so much that it ends up giving them another potential dynasty.
