The NE machine is firing on all cylinders today, as per the norm. Oh, he won’t get injured though I’d love it. I haven’t seen anything since it was 21 -7 , but I’m assuming he’s been untouched with all the holding I saw earlier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a bad matchup for Philly. It might be, but NO didn’t look the same to me since the Dallas game. Sometimes these things don’t go with the logic. Lots of folks had the Colts, but on the prediction thread I had KC by 11. We’ll see, but I think at least the game will be called evenly , not sure which Ref has it though.

Buffalo03 Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 14 minutes ago, Boatdrinks said: Poor clock management in the final 2:00 and terrible tackling vs Giants offense lost that SB. Had nothing to do with BBs side of the ball. Bills scored almost a point per minute of possession, but the D let them down that day. How about the Giants D daring us to run at them since the first play of the game by playing with only 2 Dlineman and the Bills just doing nothing but passing the ball constantly? Belichick said himself he prayed that we didn't run on them from the start because it would have been bad. Thurman Thomas had only 15 carries and ran for like 140 yards. If the Bills weren't stubborn and ran the ball more like they should have then we may have a Super Bowl trophy in Buffalo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should definitely be a concern when these games are scheduled. I mean, why not? I think the time zone shift accounts for about .8% of what we have seen today, but that doesn't mean it isn't a concern to be addressed.

I missed the start of this conversation. Did someone suggest Brady is cheating with performance enhancing drugs and what not? It's kind of a back handed compliment, but I can totally see Brady as doing that stuff, because he is such a fierce competitor and wants to win at all costs. That is the common thread in guys like that, including Lance Armstrong. Also, when you see highly unusually better than normal athletic performance, at advanced ages, you should immediately think "cheating with drugs." Barry Bonds comes to mind.

Not a great coaching move, just a desperate one. Bills outsmarted themselves. A few more running plays and B.B. would have scrapped that look anyway and died a slow death rather than a fast one.

Just look at his announcing as a whole, is why I think he is very good. Oh, I think he's technically a very good sports announcer. My comments here have nothing to do with how well he does his job. I'm talking more in terms of his character and persona. Schopp and the Bulldog spent some time once talking about how Nantz revealed in an interview that he has to have his toast prepared a certain way, at breakfast, when he's on the road. He went on about how it is so often screwed up, he has come to take a photograph of perfectly prepared toast, and keeps it with him when on the road. When he orders his toast, he stresses how it has to be prepared and shows the waiter/waitress the photograph. The point was that he is a totally self-consumed douchebag, which may or may not be true.

We did score 1.6 points per minute in the 2 previous playoff games leading to the SB that year. Giants d held us to more than 1/2 point per minute. Maybe we were frustrated offensively with sitting on the sideline so much, but I still think Bill was key to holding us to 19 points. Still something to behold how good he is.

You can argue it's hindsight, but the story of XXV was not ramming the ball down the Giants' throat with our run game, which was outstanding. That would have forced them to change what they were doing, and THEN we could have gone back to the air. The thing is, Levy and the coaches were paid big bucks to figure that out during the game, not with the benefit of hindsight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
