Once in a great while I've heard Jeremy White on in the afternoon, or Brad Ritter comes back. Its a better show when they are out of their comfort zone. I don't think Sal counts, cause he is on the show so much already. I listen to their show almost all the time, but it would be something fresh if they split them up. Maybe put Jeremy in the afternoon, and put Chris in the morning. Just to shake up the chemistry. Either way, the 5 hours of programming on that show from 10am-3pm is some of the most boring radio. The commercial for instigators reminds me of how bad the show is every day. And John Murphy saying that the bills might be able to beat New England, shows how much I cant take anything he says seriously.

Sal isn't bad, but he's on the station all day long. I liked it when Chris Brown hosted the show a few times. Even as a company guy, he seems more on the level of most fans. Not ridiculously optimistic like John is. I wish John would step down. I only listen to his show during training camp, or days when big news happens.

Just now, TheTruthHurts said:
The Matt Ryan fumble returned for a TD which IMO was a forward pass. We lose that game.
That's the other call I was forgetting. I knew there was one more that was really questionable. I remember saying after that touchdown, I don't understand it, but OK!

Lol, I'm getting tired of defending NE, but these people are so annoying.
The guy that made the video needs to watch more football. Those plays are common. You could do this for every team.
You are right. We probably don't beat Denver if Von Miller doesn't get flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct for not helping Tyrod up on his feet. And we lose to Indianapolis if we don't get a offensive pass interference call in our favor 2 or 3 minutes after Indy took a 8-7 lead. I'm sure we had other calls we forget about too.

As much as people don't like them. I guess Joe Buck and Troy Aikman may finally call a bills game.

I had to pull over for the Tampa Bay and Oakland motorcades on the way home from those games. I thought it was pretty cool. Especially since we beat both of those teams. Sounds really annoying, they put a picture of the 5 trophies on the tail fin. No way I could live that close to Patriots territory. I give you props for that one.

People hated the Bills by 1994. There wasnt an internet for you guys to see it, but it existed. Fortunately the salary cap killed that budding dynasty.
So how do we kill your 17 year dynasty that doesn't make any realistic sense.

Hopefully Tom Brady will go there so he can say he dominated two different leagues. There you can play with whatever kind of football you want, even a Nerf football.

To me, the entire history of the New England Patriots run has been suspect from the start.
Bill Belichick had losing records in 5 out of his 6 first years as head coach. Tom Brady was a 6th Round draft pick, who really wasn't that great in college. To this day, even after 15+ years of absolute dominance, you probably can't name even ONE long-term player on those Patriots teams (outside of Brady and probably Rob Gronkowski) who will be a lock for the Hall of Fame. You would be hard pressed to find any long-term Patriots who even have a chance. Maybe Randy Moss, who was there for 3 seasons. Probably Darrell Revis, who was there for 1 season.
Front office people find success in New England, then go elsewhere and fail. Coordinators and coaches find success in New England, then go elsewhere and fail. Players find success in New England, then go elsewhere and fail. What is it about the Patriots culture/system that is so impossible to duplicate? Every other successful dynasty in the history of the NFL has yielded copycats. Every successful dynasty has also eventually been figured out, or fallen victim to players retiring, leaving or getting older. The Packers, Steelers, 49ers, Cowboys lasted literally half this time on top. But nothing has stopped the Patriots from rolling. Not even having a 40 Year Old Quarterback.
What we are witnessing is unlike anything that has EVER occurred in NFL history. It's not just an underdog beating the odds, or the natural process of records being broken. It's completely obliterating every standard and limit that has existed since the NFL was created in 1920. People try comparing Brady to Michael Jordan. But basketball has always been a sport that could be dominated by a single individual. Football has always been an ultimate team sport. But the Patriots are consistently unstoppable with a bunch of no-names poached from other teams. It's ridiculous.
The first comparison that comes to my mind is when baseball saw Roger Maris' home run record stand for DECADES, only to be suddenly destroyed in 3 straight years by Mark McGwire, Sammy Sosa and Barry Bonds. It was logical that someone would eventually break the record. But when it suddenly became easy, you knew something was off. You knew something was wrong. And sure enough, those players were all using steroids.
Even before Spygate and Deflategate, there were tons of rumors about the Patriots CHEATING. There have been questionable calls from the refs coming in their favor since that first season and the Tuck Rule. I think part of the reason people HATE the Patriots is because they know (even if it hasn't all been found and uncovered) that something is NOT RIGHT about what we are witnessing...
You can find it all over this message board. You can find it all over Twitter. You even hear players and announcers utter it sometimes. Someday we are going to learn the truth about the "New England Dynasty." It might not be pretty.
This is the most perfect response to this. Unfortunately nobody in the league has come to care yet that something is weird going on here. Maybe when Brady is 50 and playing better than he did at 40 they will question it. I wonder what the Vegas numbers are, when it comes to what year the Patriots will have a losing season again....

I think what did happen vs. what didn't happen matters. Peyton Manning's struggles to win in the playoffs early on in his career, were what made his story so intriguing. We knew it wasn't crazy for him to finally win a Super Bowl, but it also wasn't going to be come easy. And he only had 1 Super Bowl win before he played his last game, and we all knew he deserved to win at least 2. I also feel, Manning's personality helps too. Brady and Belichick are much too business like. Manning looked like he was having fun on the field.
-
No, because the Cinderella stories are always the bigger deal. The red sox and cubs winning the world series finally. The Cavaliers winning an NBA title. The Giants spoiling the Patriots perfect season. If anything when a dynasty ends, and the new champions start to emerge, the league gets better. At least in the short term.

If its true that Bon Jovi didn't want to move the team. I still feel that he would have kept the bills in Toronto series. Probably would have expanded it to more then just 1 game a year too.

You can sometimes find a QB in the 2nd or 3rd round worth starting in their rookie year. They have to take at least 1 QB in the first round, but maybe get another guy in the 2nd or 3rd round. They have other holes they need to fill. I feel we should stay put and not trade up, because its such a scratch off lottery ticket type deal.
-
If my memory serves, him and Dan Dierdorf called the Bills vs. Patriots 31-0 game. Great announcer, RIP Dick
-
This is the third time we have been 8-6 this century. But i feel every time they say "trust the process" it sounds like, "Don't hate me right away if we suck, we will be good eventually." Hopefully they get to the playoffs this year, and come up with a better slogan for next year.
-
I feel the solution is to try two bye weeks again. It failed last time because it messed with the team's weekly routine. Thursday night football does that by itself now. Just give every team playing on Thursday a bye before hand.

The one thing I am afraid of in the draft...

I don't want them trading their 1st from next year. Trade anything else if there is a QB worth moving up for. I still would find it shocking if 5 QB's are taken before 21. It'll be very interesting.
