How many awards threads do we need?

That's a bunch of garbage.

We'll win the Superbowl and fans will complain that the defense gave up a 3rd and 12. It's pretty annoying.

I didn't even think it was ugly. It was a good game. Both teams came to play. The Pats were desperate to save their season and we shut them down.

More classy than some of the bums we have around here. Crapping on the team after a good win.

Hard fought win. Both teams played hard.

What specifically was bad about the coaching? I don't get it...

My thoughts exactly. If Goff settles down, that is.

Strange to see Belichick so conservative on these drives. He clearly doesn't trust Newton to throw down the field.

Looking good today.

I think he caught one earlier in the season.

Guess I'll release him from my fantasy team.

Well he certainly can't hurt anything.

Avoiding all tasty things usually ends up in a binge. Most dietitians usually agree that having anything in moderation is fine. Plus, he's a dlineman...

Epenesa is still pretty raw, isn't he?

That's interesting since he hasn't been with the team for three years.

That's a big leap of logic, if you ask me. There's nothing to indicate it has anything at all to do with Spain.

Walker looks really bad. Luckily they have Bridgewater back who is at least average.

I feel like we had fairly close games with the Pats the last couple of years even WITH Brady and Edelman and Gronk in the mix. That being said, I don't think we will blow them out.

Bills - 28 Pats - 24 I see a higher scoring, closer game than others seem to think. A Cam Newton pick in the final minutes seals the victory. I think both QB's turn the ball over a couple times, but Allen gets over it while Cam continues to mope on the sidelines with a towel over his head.

Edelman has been a shell of himself. He's slow and gimpy. He should retire.

All games are almost equally important, with divisional games and conference games just slightly more so. And yes, non-conference games are also very important. It is a sport with only 16 games. Nobody can claim one game isn't important unless you have already clinched a 1st round bye in the playoffs or can't possibly improve your playoff standing. I don't get it. The Bills DID beat Brady a few times. Or are you saying specifically McDermott's Bills?

Great coaches also lose games sometimes, even to bad teams (like the Patriots losing to Miami multiple times over the past few years). And yeah, great coaches also put their injured players on the injury report ... because that's the rule...

The link says Cowboys are number one and Patriots are number two. Then Bills at three. I don't get them saying that Josh Allen complains, or even Cam Newton. Newton sulks on the sidelines but I don't see him actively complain. Tom Brady is the biggest complainer in the league, so they are right about that. Then they say Harbaugh, McDermott, and Belichick complain the most as coaches? That's just strange. Do they interpret clapping as complaining? And Belichick just stands there like a Sith warlord.

Exactly. There actually isn't much of a correlation between penalties and winning.
