The ironic thing here is that I once paid a woman 5k to do that very thing to me.

I bet on the Pats in the last SB. For sort of the same reason. I was so dreading them winning another one that I wanted to get something out of it. It was the best money I ever lost.

I think it makes perfect sense to bet against the Bills this season. Maybe not 5k (unless you're rich) but putting a few dollars against the Bills at least gives you a little something on Monday when part of you is feeling pissed about the team getting beat again. And if they win the game and you lose your money? At least you still feel good about them winning a game.

I get that we're supposed to hope everyone fails except the Bills (especially AFC East teams) but don't you all think it would be cool if Mayfield, Rosen, Allen and Darnold all joined Mahomes and turned out to be great franchise QBs? Now that the likes of Brady, Brees, Rogers and Big Ben are on the edge of retirement I want to see some great new blood in the league and all the rivalries that come with that. I loved Kelly's twice yearly duels with Marino - the fact that they were trying to outdo one another probably raised their games. Look forward to more of it with Allen and Darnold each season.

My take on some of the guys who have run it is: Donahoe - flashy guy but, as Paulie once said of Tommy, "he's a cowboy, he's got too much to prove". He got us Spikes and Milloy etc. but also drafted JP and McGahee. It was like he was always trying to show how smart he was. Marv - love him but from my memory (all the **** through the drought sort of fades together in the end) he was pitiful in the front office. Certainly no Coughlin. Marv drafted Donte Whitner when EVERYONE, even people like me whose knowledge of college football could be written on the back of a "How to inspire teammates - by Vontae Davis" pamphlet, were yelling for them to pick Haloti Ngata. Russ Brandon - erm, wasn't he responsible for drafting Maybin?

Are you a feeder?

ha, that brings back memories. I remember everyone hated him and Tim 'Tiny' Anderson

Vikes 38 - Bills 9 I see Allen having what will turn out to be his worst game of the whole year with 4 picks and afterwards everyone will be calling him a massive bust.

Whatever he's allowed to have, I'd cut the check in half and see how he likes it

I'm sure Kraft gets someone in his team to release these rumours, just so the Pats can do their usual pulling together and fighting against adversity act. It's annoying because it always works. Until Belichick does a Buddy Ryan and punches Brady in the face I don't believe a word of it Their success is 50/50 as far as I'm concerned. They're both led by the need for perfection and the almost sociopathic need to dominate. I have to say, as far as Belichick is concerned, on the one hand I hate him, but then I see him talking on episodes of A Football Life or 30 for 30 and I think he isn't so bad really. He seems to have a lot more personality when he's talking about former players or coaches that he admires, and his knowledge of the game is obviously second to none. It wouldn't surprise me if he went into the media in some capacity when he retires, at least for a few years until he gets bored, and I think if he does he'll surprise some people and they'll actually start to quite like him.

I haven't watched a halftime show since Michael Jackson, which was doubly depressing considering the score. I'd prefer something different to music, like a juggling act or a really bad magic show

Man, that's like replacing your broken down motorbike with a tricycle

It's getting old but I ain't retiring just yet

I think Vontae should do the halftime show, way more entertaining

Somewhere in America Rex Ryan just got hard for no apparent reason. Probably weird for him

Well at the very least I get to hear Romo talking about how Allen is doing with his reads and progressions etc. Love hearing Romo doing his analysis.

Coach asked Peterman to retire at halftime but he refused. I guess he'll have to get rid of him the boring way.

Is Davis' wife hot? If so I'm going to approach her and recite Mr T's speech from Rocky 3. "hey woman, don't you wish you had a real man? I bet you lay awake every night wishing you had a real man. Bring your pretty little self over to my apartment tonight and I'll show you a real man".

Agreed. He made mistakes but seemed to shrug them off, blame himself and then move on. That's what the good/great QBs do and that is what gives me hope. I also agree he has great stature back there and didn't look panicked, even when they were knocking hell out of him.

I think he means 'juncture'. He must be a rookie.

Mills is worthless. I wouldn't use him to fertilize my garden

Come on Josh, give us a 99 yard TD pass. And NOT a safety

The defense suddenly has a heartbeat

Shame we couldn't get more momentum there

Haha, Allen getting his defense fired up. Awesome
