In Reich we trust.

Eh, not for me. Loved him in PHL for the Super Bowl, but he’s AFC now and thereby the enemy. Just like the rest of ‘em 

 

 

It’s an indictment of the OL watching these other teams running screens. Even the Browns can gash NE with this once in awhile. Bills are the worst looking screen team out there, and not just today.

I'll give you that one.   By the same token,  so is Watson who I loved coming out of Clemson.  I knew he'd be a good pro QB.

As to Reich,  I give him the nod over O'Brien.

Oh he is, but I believe in him as a QB. I see it as the deciding factor in that division , so I’m pulling for HOU. A long way to go in this season of course.

I actually really hate games in the elements. Sure, a snow game is a cool look on TV.  Watching this Oakland vs. Houston game, I just like the thought of team vs. team. Man vs. man. Best team wins. No rain, snow, or wind preventing you from being who you really are or what you want to do that day. Yes, both teams play in it. Yes, the coaches should factor weather into their game plans, but call me crazy for wanting to see a good clean game free from the elements.

You may be right about it coming down to the QB.  I just wish I could truly enjoy the season without the inevitability of the Pats being the AFC champs.  I know anything can happen, but I'm not counting on it.

My God I wish Deshaun Watson was our Quarterback. 

Big mistake passing him up. Doesn't matter how great Tre White is. QB changes everything. I’ll give them Mahomes because there were legit questions, but Watson is a winner. And this is coming from someone who likes Allen. Bills been overthinking things for years, including today’s offensive game plan.

51-13 final 49 ers over Panthers.

Im a believer in the 49 ers. 
Crazy good on both sides of the ball.

Pegulas reportedly didn’t like Shanahan’s personality when they interviewed him. Bills will probably never hit 51 under McD. Not saying I don’t want him as coach. Only saying how it’s interesting how things turn out one way or another.

This is true. They really did not like him at all. But then they hired Rex.... soooooo....

Nah Rex was on Terry. 

Oh I don’t disagree. His team all the way, so it’s all on him. But I do recall a certain someone telling Terry to “not let him leave the building”.

That was AFTER Terry had decided Rex was the guy. It is so often misquoted. They decided Rex was the guy and Russ said "if he is your guy don't let him out of the building."

Seriously, why are people still pretending like Russ forced Rex on Pegula?

Maybe so. I wasn’t in the room. But I think we can both agree that there is enough for both of us to b$&@ about today without Russ and Rex. ?

Texans on our heels.  We better improve. Fast!!

 

Houston got some real home cooking on some penalty calls in the 4th Qtr and non-calls that should've gone against them!   The Raiders should have won that game on their final drive.  Dumb refs.

The script was obvious. Texans win.

No one is saying Russ forced him on Terry. Terry is a wealthy and powerful businessman who is no dummy. It’s his team and the buck stops with him. But it’s well documented he leaned heavily on Russ and other more established owners during his first few years as he learned the ropes.

I believe that the Texans will ultimately win their division.

DeShaun Watson is something else. And they've done a good job of maintaining a good team around him even if they have a few flaws he is good enough to take care of the rest.

 

He's also the only young QB i've seen absolutely gash Beli's defense to the point Beli knows not to ever draw up the Cover 0 blitz he uses so much on the likes of Sam Darnold the other night and Pat Mahomes last year. Will throw it deep, audible max protection, and hits his guy.
