  1. Off the top of my head, the Tuck Rule, the AFCCG vs the Colts that led to a new rule emphasis the following year, the 2007 Monday nighter against the Ravens where several suspect calls late in the 4th gave them the game (several Ravens got fined after that one for speaking their minds), a game around the same time vs Houston when Tommy Boy heaved a game ending pick, only to see a late flag even the announcers didn’t understand wipe it out,  the Saints game 2-3 years ago they won on a last play TD throw in which Solder was clearly holding the Saints pass rusher, and on and on, not ev3n counting our games against them.

     

    i do recall them losing to the Panthers on a late iffy call 5-6 years ago, but not many others.....

    true----but losing teams dont make the big plays. winners do--and overcome officials mistakes-which are always gonna happen.NE has a few bad calls against them-and they still win the game because they make plays.

    New England* has historically won many, many, many more close games in which bad officiating appeared to help them than they have lost that way over the years, probably by a factor approaching 5 to 1.....

  3. Don’t know too much about McNair and his record on race relations, but do know that he sold a minority interest in the team to a friend of a college buddy of mine, who happens to be  Hispanic and very rich—self-made rich, too (he set up and ran an energy trading company after playing football at Columbia and is a nice guy as best I know from my buddy and from meeting him a few times).

    I thinks it’s actually closer to 60 million...I believe it was around 80-90 million before this years offseason signings.

    No, it’s $90m as per Spotrac.  We’re 3rd in the League, but there are few good FA’s at positions of need.  The draft remains our best bet, which means 2-3 more years of a rebuild.....

    Whose got the free agent list by position for next year

    OTC also has that on some other tabs there.

     

    interesting to see that we can potentially be over $100m with a few cuts.  Also interesting to see that the Pats* only have $21m next year and are losing a bunch of starters to FA next year.  Of course, they have 6 picks in the top 105 or so (although 3 of those are likely in the 92-105 range). Miami oddly also looks to be in cap hell next year.

     

     2019 is definitely the year McBean has circled on their calendar.

    The Bills don’t have a QB to keep aAllen in the bench. I originally thought that he’d need a red shirt year. That’s wrong. He’s a lot tougher mentally and further along physically than I thought. Hand him the keys and don’t look back. 

    Yup—totally agree.  His play has earned the chance.  He also seems to have the intangibles, too—you can see how guys reacts positively to him and he always seems to be bucking up his teammates.  Leadership counts at the QB position and he seems to have potential there.
