Does anyone feel a lot more relaxed during the build-up to this draft? Last year I was obsessed with the idea of them getting a QB. Now that we've got that piece out of the way (if you believe, like me, that Allen is a good'un) I feel like this one will be more fun

I saw him being interviewed a couple of months ago and hadn't seen him since his surgery. I was actually relieved that he looked so well. I was thinking that maybe his face would be messed up from all the surgeries but to be honest he didn't look (or sound) too different to how he always did. I'd ***** love it if the Bills won the SB and Allen handed the trophy to Jim during the victory parade. Maybe in a couple of years when it's the 30th anniversary of SB XXV His life journey is pretty amazing actually. When you see the footage of him when he was a cocky kid, saying all the stuff about "would you rather be in Houston or Buffalo", then see the way he is now, how much he loves the city he once cried about getting drafted by, and how he's come through all the adversity thrown at him. That young guy playing in the USFL and having fun with the ladies can't possibly have imagined how it would all turn out

So how do you explain his improvements since Anderson got on board? He's the epitome of marginal. Quite often the marginal guys make the best teachers because they were longtime backups and spent more time working on film or imitating the opposing QB in practice

It's true that EJ put in a lot of off season work, so did JP, but the point is that off season work on its own isn't a cure all. However, when you combine it with the right attitude on the field, mental toughness etc. (which I believe Allen has and those other guys did not) then it can only help him.

We should file one for having to sit through all those years of Jauron ball.

I'm going to throw a light sabre in the direction of his neck during the Super Bowl

Actually, even though every atom of my being want NE to get annihilated next week, it's actually Brady I hate the most. In a weird way I don't mind Belichick as much. When he appears on things like A Football Life and talks about players from history etc. he is very interesting and isn't as much of a grump. He's obviously very passionate about the sport and is happy to talk about people other than himself.

Last year I saw a guy walking down my street who looked a lot like Tom Brady. He's now locked in my basement and receives electric 'therapy' every time New England wins. Despite not even being a football fan he ironically now hates the Patriots more than I do.

Don't worry, we'll beat them in the AFC championship. Also, I get some consolation from the fact that the Pats lost last year and aren't looking at the threepeat. At least that's one record the pats won't get

I'll be watching my video of SB 25 that's edited to have the alternative Norwood kick that they did for the 30 for 30 documentary. Just to fully brainwash myself that it's all happening live I'll spend the morning watching early 90s programming on YouTube, as well as archived footage of the Gulf War.

Been looking at a Saints forum, some fans have started a petition to get a rematch next week. Over 25k signatures so far. I suspect they may be waisting their time. If it was fixed wouldn't they have wanted a KC Rams rematch? I bet a hell of a lot of people won't even watch another SB with the Pats. Me included.

I am so glad we passed on Mahomes!

oh man this is awful. I'm going to try something... I REALLY HOPE THE PATS WIN THIS. I'D LOVE THEM TO WIN. COME ON BRADY!

think this is over

Another OT today. Just hope KC win the toss because you know the Pats will score a TD

bet he misses it

Pathetic

When that flag wiped out the INT you knew it was over

TAKE A TIMEOUT KC!!

How many times does the ref have to look at it?!!

Def not a catch

Just looks easy for them

I need a tipped pass and INT here, okay God?

I wonder if Kraft has time to sacrifice a child before the clock runs out

WONDERFUL. But they've left too much time for Satan
