Bleeding Bills Blue Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Rooting for the patriots for a few reasons. 1 - My wife is from Central Mass. 2 - I hate that the team moved to LA because they were unwilling to essentially pay to keep their team. 3 - LA fans aren't real football fans so its annoying that they get a super bowl 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They might be overwhelmed at first, but it wont be a blowout. It will go down to the wire like the other 8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe St. Louis has other problems and doesn't want to pay hundreds of millions of dollars for a football team. There's like no proven ROI other than that the owners probably make more money off of the fans. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So easily could be us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I've written in other threads on this board that the NFL's chasing of the stadium dollar as an increasing revenue source is a fools errand, especially in a place like Buffalo and most importantly because I believe more than any other sport the NFL is best watched on TV (although maybe that is just me). Tap hard other revenue sources but these football cathedrals whose sole purpose is to charge the fans more are going to end at some point...honestly, I believe they will.

They all share revenue anyway, he's cash rich and can loan other owners money for projects etc. We're not buying these absurd rams PSLs so don't even bother trying to sell them to us.

He was so often the safety valve on PA plays designed to go deep. Goff is not a guy who tries to fit a ball into tight coverage. Really odd considering his accuracy and arm strength. Concur that Gurley would have to have a huge game for the Rams to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm rooting for the Pats in the SB. And the irrational animosity directed toward Sullivan was silly. Complaining about a columnist while continuing to read his work is like hating Italian food and continuing to go to Italian restaurants. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuSeYiN_NYC Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Im for the Rams ONLY if Brady is planning on coming back next year. BUT, if in his mind, he's thinking about retiring after just one more ring, I want the Pats to win so he can get the hell up out of the AFC East... Every year I want to beat Brady fair and square and it doesn't happen. I've had enough. I've accepted the fact that he OWNS us. I've thrown in the towel. The same towel the refs use against us whenever we play them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same towel the refs use against us whenever we play them. We should all hope Tom Brady comes back because he's on the verge of collapse. If he wins and retires, that smirk in the lockerroom will be the lasting image of Tom Brady's career. I want to see the Bills beat TB and that is finally within reach. I was previously leaning toward his competitive fire prompting him to keep it pushing until he can't push anymore. Now I'm starting to think he knows his limitations are catching up with him and he will bow out the champ(assuming they win). I will say this; if he retires, win or lose, it's because he knows he doesn't have another run in him. He would love to get number 7. Whether it be money or rings, there's never enough.

He does not have the arm strength to beat you deep but neither SD nor KC seemed to get the memo. That will change when team's finally catch on. Take away the middle of the field and he's toast. Sure, he'll occasionally chuck up a jumpball to Gronk or someone else, but it's not sustainable. I'd like to say Wade has some tricks up his sleeve, but the Rams have some really stupid DB's/LB'ers. Not sure they'll be able to execute the plan. Edited January 22, 2019 by LSHMEAB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure they'll be able to execute the plan. Very true but for some reason teams play scared against Brady. or maybe they just don't have the personal to execute the game plan. I couldn't believe the way SD played & the game plan they had for Brady. They might as well just of forfeit the game & save the airfare. Lynne made -0- adjustments either. My friend at works his dad is good friends with Gronk's dad, & he told him last week Gronk is done after this year. Patriots have a bunch of guys up for Free Agency I believe, not sure how hard it will be for them to reload, it hasn't seem to matter the past 10 years or so with Brady being so good. I have felt for the past decade their roster is vulnerable & not that good, but somehow they always end up in the super bowl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
