    Wr will be a big need next year. Sanders and Beasley may both be gone. Gabe looks good but sometimes isn't focused every week. Josh will need more targets.

    I really think Davis will make the "3rd season jump" that Knox has made this years. Still I think adding another WR in FA is a need. Maybe even drafting one in the middle rounds if the value is there.

    Surely something has to be done by the league to combat this weaponization of the injury report. It's been going on for so long and I could be wrong, but I don't know if any other team does this. A questionable designation is supposed to mean that a player's status is 50/50, but I'd bet 80% or more of the Patriots questionable players wind up playing and starting the games. Fully expect all but one of these guys to be ready to go on Saturday (Wynn if I had to guess). 

     

    Typical Patriots move (aside from the actual scandals over the years)...it's not technically illegal but it is against the spirit of the rules. 

    I mean, every team tinkers with the injury reports. You really think all the Bills are 100% healthy and injury free right now because ours is clear? 

     

    Adding players that end up playing really isn't much different that not having guys on there that are injured, missing practice time to "vet rest" "Illness-non COVID" or such.

    Because attendance is very important in a small market city. The League looks very closely at season attendance numbers

     

    Just saying

    Is attendance important or ticket sales? With the percentage of season tickets sold the NFL has made their money. Throw in the ratings boost when Buffalo is a national game and I believe the league is pretty satisfied with this small market city. 

     

    If the NFL was worried about fans coming and being at the game...perhaps they would have the foresight to take weather into account when they scheduled this weekends games and made it a daytime game so there is still some sunlight out. 🤷🏻‍♂️

    No way he gets that record in 4 years.  He may very well never get there.

     

     

    Looks like it's only 38 to tie 39 wins to get the record... I don't think it's outside the realm of possibility for them to average 10 wins a season... Especially with an extra (17th) game a season in there.

    Thank you!

    I think as the Pats are currently constituted you are talking 5 years minimum and more like 7. Coaching in the NFL these days aged 76? Not sure I see that.

    I see it as long as he's healthy. He reminds me of the kind of guy that works his whole life and passes away 3 months after retiring. Just nothing else left. As long as he can, I believe he will

    Interesting fact: there have been 511 head coaches in the NFL, all time.

     

    THREE (3) of them have coached into their 70s.

     

    1) George Hallas

    2) Marv Levy

    3) Pete Carroll

     

    Pete has only done it for one year, as he turned 70 this season.

     

    Hallas and Levy are the only 2 guys IN NFL HISTORY to coach for multiple years into their 70s.

     

    Bill Belichick is 69 and turns 70 in April.

     

    The data suggests that the grind of being an NFL head coach catches up to you in your late 60s and these guys just can't do it much past that.

     

    What do you think?

     

    He's 38 wins away from topping Shula as the all time winningest coach. He's HUGE on the history of the NFL. Even if it would seem he wouldn't care less I believe he stays until he breaks that mark.

     

    EDIT: Corrected Number of wins needed. Had said around 50...turns out it's 38

  7. I actually thought this would happen from the get go. Culley seems like a good guy and a likeable person, was just a terrible situation. However, a year later and seeing a coach be 1 and done with that roster....gonna be difficult to get a good coach to come on board. 

     

    Though I will say I kinda liked Davis Mills the back half of the season. Kid is pretty decent.

    I can tell you that Muki had/has personal relationships with former and current Bills players. Shaq is one of them. If he’s telling you that Shaq wants to be back in Buffalo, it’s real talk. Maybe contract negotiations are holding up the move?

    I could have told you the same thing. Gee, wonder if a guy would rather sit at home or collect a paycheck with his old team in a locker room filled with a bunch of his friends and chase a possible Super Bowl.

     

    No disrespect intended to you or "Muki". However this is really nothing more than throwing stuff against ths wall and if it sticks it looks great for you. If it doesn't there's always "They just went another way".

    Fans should always have faith their team will win.  That said if we had Brady back there and had lost 3 of the last 4.. I’d still expect to crush any team we faced! That said we don’t have Brady, we have a rookie who is supposedly playing threw numerous injuries and still an unknown asset for the long term.  Meanwhile the Bills have an established QB who no matter whose list is too 7 in the league with a D that is pretty good. 
     

    In all honesty the Pats are like what Big Ben said of the Steelers. “ we suck and they are great so we just need go out there and have fun.” Aka all the pressure is on the Bills..

    Pats are paying with house money at this point, I agree. However, going out there and having fun kinda flies in the face of the "Patriot Way" a bit. 

     

    I think there is a LOT of pressure on the Pats...Bill Belichick is their coach. Everyone kisses the rings. Media has fawned over Jones all season. He's the "New Brady" according to some. And to some...these are the same 'ol Bills that will choke in the bright light despite what they have shown for the last few years. Being we have taken 3 of the last 4, pressure is on the Pats to step up. 

     

    Serious question: Has anyone never taken 3 out of 4 from a BB coached Pats team? Or 4 out of 5?

    So, Beane is grinding the tape and helping implement the game plan? Or, and hear me out...this is a BS Tweet that is kinda assuming that multiple people can't be working multiple things at OBD.

     

    This guy backed Massare with the "breaking news" and seems he is doubling down. These clowns have no real info.

  11. Depends on who they could get. If they were to hire a Leslie Frazier type (and nothing against Frazier here) then they may as well stay with RIch Bisaccia. Same steady influence that could bridge the team to the next phase.

     

    If they could get Harbaugh yo leave Michigan or some other guy that is a no brainer upgrade then you make the change. 

     

    I think in this case a well you take the time to ask the vets on the team what they would think about keeping Bisaccia and factor that in as well.

  12. Looking more and more that Massare floated this out after McD's presser yesterday as a "connect the dots" "reading tea leaves" kinda thing.

     

    No sources, he's "unpinned" the big scoop off his Twitter (but hasn't deleted). This way if Lawson does sign he can look credible. FWIW, I've heard he has done this in the past, but don't follow him so I don't know.
