Ravens were bad on defense but what can you expect with all of their injuries? The life of a coordinator is fascinating. Martindale went from being a top candidate for a HC job to the unemployment line in the span of 5 months. Every opportunity to interview for a HC spot is huge

Hiring David Culley was almost as bad of a move. But this hire seems to be legit

Daboll is a logical connection…but what if Schoen hires Brian Flores and tries to trade their #1 picks to bring DeShaun Watson to NY? WOW

McKenzie should play Tyreek Hill on the regular Bills offense! Not NE. If they spend significant money on a WR, it will for a WR1. McKenzie has untapped potential but I don’t think that’s his ceiling. Ironically his hometown team Miami was interested last season and offered him a deal close to what Buffalo did, which is why he re-signed. I can see them making him a big offer

It’s funny how so many Chiefs fans are trying to convince themselves that the Bills defense isn’t good. Seems to me that they are pretty concerned and looking for a reason to rationalize why the Bills aren’t as good as they really are: To his point…there’s an element of truth there. The Bills were fortunate to play some bad QB’s but they dominated them.

It’s a misdemeanor. I don’t think this will have any impact on the game Sunday. He’ll go from the jailhouse to the field house in a few short hours

This right here. I remember listening to the Go Long podcast and Jim Monos said after the Pegulas hired McDermott Belichick called them unsolicited to congratulate them on making a good choice. Also last year when Josh destroyed the Patriot defense in Foxboro, Belichick spent a few extra moments talking to Josh which he rarely does. As you can tell by his press conferences he’s not the more jovial coach who would spend time/energy blowing smoke up your arse, so I’m thinking this was legit admiration

Not going but I heard plan tickets are ridiculous

I agree. The only thing separating Josh from the absolute top top tiers of QB’s (#1-4) is that he needs to be elite on a consistent basis starting this week in the playoffs. While overall his lows are a lot higher in most cases, he’s often been a little inconsistent week-to-week. They said he couldn’t have a better game against Belichick the second time around and he did. Now let’s see him string together 3 more excellent games!

Most of the PFF’s were forced into admitting they were incorrect on evaluating Josh’s potential. Funny how Josh proved just about everything negative they said about him to be untrue

As an adult no! LOL But as a kid in elementary/middle school during the Super Bowl runs yes! There always were a handful of kids who just wanted to go against the grain so they cheered against Buffalo. They usually we’re fans of Miami/San Fran/NYG and then of course they jumped on the Washington/Dallas bandwagon. Anyway you’d always hear from them after a bad loss. Fortunately, there were mostly successful throughout the mid-to-late 80’s through the late 90’s. But these kids were relentless after a Super Bowl. To make matters worse, most of us fans wore a lot of Bills gear including a Starter winter jacket. So it was inescapable in school, on the bus, at the mall etc We got into a few scraps back in the day - usually at recess or gym class, which was mostly yelling that escalated into shoving and/or wrestling. Schools were cool back then. No suspensions or even detention. I don’t even think they told parents. The teacher or principal explained how stupid we were for fighting over football, made us shake hands, and then it was over….until next football season anyway 🤣🤣🤣🤣 in retrospect it’s kind of funny Getting ripped on after the Super Bowl losses was always the worst

Excellent imagination

Yes on the site it says he was mic’d up but for some reason they used hardly at of his audio

The only similarity I can find between the two is that they were lopsided victories in the playoffs

A lot of positive feedback. Thank you to everyone that has enjoyed my “mind-numbing, incessant thread starts”

LOL it was a stupid bet to make and he probably knew he’d lose. Must be nice to throw $50,000 on a long shot.

Hardly any audio from Oliver. He either said nothing or said too many profanities LOL

IDK I think Lamar was hurt pretty badly and probably should have been put on IR. The way they handled his injury was pretty odd. It was reported as though he could start the next week after being carted off, but he did not. Then the footage from practice came out and he was walking with a bad limp. He probably shouldn’t have even practice - which speaks again to the severity of the injury. I’m not sure they didn’t just shut him down. But if he was able to play in Week 17 or 18, it wouldn’t surprise me for Baltimore err on the side of caution since they were basically out of the playoffs The other strange injury designation was the game he missed to due to a sickness. No idea what that was about

My guess is that the final edit has to be approved by the team and the coaching staff. So a lot of the trash talking probably doesn’t make it in

Belichick’s dad was a football coach and Bill’s sons hope to follow in his footsteps. There’s no doubt in my mind that Bill would like to step down and hand down the HC reigns to his son(s). The problem is that Steve seems to be a bit of an odd duck… He’s probably not HC coaching and I’ve never heard anyone in NE talk about his contributions. We’ve heard them talk about Jerrod Mayo but not Stevie Belichick. I think if he was at a point where his son was in line to take over, he would step aside.

Yeah, it was certainly underwhelming. I think it happened so fast that Murph was confused. From his vantage point in the press box, it probably looked like Agholor made the catch and then he saw Hyde pop up with the ball. Agree with you about the defense and the team in general. They seem to be playing very loose and confident His QB is Max Jones….there’s nothing he can do about it

If you didn’t love this Bills team already…. Buffalo Bills released an 11 minute video on their website featuring Jordan Poyer and Isaiah McKenzie getting mic’d up. Some awesome moments captured on the field, including Poyer saying he was sick of New England’s cockiness: “We gotta hit these guys in the mouth. You see how cocky these guys are? Man, f--- them, man. I’m tired of these (expletive). It’s an end of an era for them tonight. An end of a f------ era. Let’s go!” It’s an awesome video: https://www.buffalobills.com/video/mic-d-up-wild-card-vs-the-patriots

They definitely overpaid last season. All of those contracts are a little high though Henry and Bourne were good contributors. Smith and Agholor are bad contracts and they are stuck with them for atleast 1 year. It’s funny because Patriots fans things the team just needs a #1 WR. Pretty sure the problem is a QB who can’t push the ball downfield

I won’t be man to man - I don’t see one player assigned to Kelce

I wonder if this guy gets harassed by a certain moderator through PM for starting this topic
