Sal knew he was talking crazy, and really called him out on it. I really disagree that trading up in drafts is wrong all the time. Especially if you can do it without trading away next year's 1st round pick. These are generally my thoughts, too. I think Sal's a OBD lackey now, but he wasn't wrong here. As for trades, I'm not a huge fan of trading up unless its for a QB. I think this was Mike's point (at least on Twitter earlier in the day).

Of course there are many other variables, but to ignore it is back to "hoping" the team is good, which is totally useless. The Patriots always have a HUGE point differential because they run up the score How did that fare in the 13 - 3 SB win in February ?? 3-0 at halftime. so IMO they can take that 189 PD and file it in the How to cheat book Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because other teams take their starters out. Why risk injury to a star player when the other team just might be out to inflict pain. aka head hunt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirkwoodus13 Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 We didn't have to trade for QB. Watson and Mahomes fell right to us. We kill WhAley for trading up for Sammy. Lets see how the fans reacts next year if Josh is playing the same way. Right now he is a bigger Tyrod without the deep ball. This team is a decent veteran QB away from contending. Will Coach make the right call if he has too. Josh might need some veteran competition next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THEY WON THE SUPER BOWL. They went from the high scoring playoff games the 2 weeks prior, to winning a defensive struggle in the Super Bowl. His running up the score over the years, has given him plenty of experience in knowing how to make plays in any situation without costing his team. They don't win the super bowl every year, but they are in the top 4 every year. Really good teams, are able to win games, and have a positive point differential at the end of the year. This goes into the people who say "I don't care how we win, just win." I'm sorry in the long term, how you win matters too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m offended AND angry for sports fans from my beloved WNY. They’re the Only thing you have and it’s just so goddam bad. It’s like a daily competition from show to show to see who can be most amateur, unenlightened and unlistenable. Yet, they act like they’re Top 5 nationwide and absolute authorities on sports.. Sal & Schelp are just 2 of the dummies masquerading as sports announcers. It’s just so embarrassing. I bleed for you all.? I understand there are some really good Bills podcasts out there. Not sure about Sabres.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
May Day 10 Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Schopp produces very strong reactions and discussion like no other in our market. That means he is masterfully doing his job. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blacklabel Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Schopp's playing a character. It's his job to elicit responses from people. I think the best way he's found to get those responses is to have unpopular opinions that he doesn't waver on. If he gets you riled up then he's done his job. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winning by 1 or winning by 40 only matters in rankings for tie breakers. Its the fans who have HUGE issues with it. Might I suggest you stop listening to those clowns for a few weeks?

You don't have to have played football to be a part of the radio coverage for a team, but it would help. Mike lives in the world of symbols (stats), the actual real thing doesn't matter as much. Like previously mentioned there is no stat for culture so it's not real or relevant to his super-smart brain. Also team culture is the most important thing, IMO. If you look at that picture closely, Bellichick is cheating a little to the left. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then, why do any teams bother with running up the score? You know, the teams that are usually in the playoffs year after year. Apparently the fans of the team that never makes the playoffs, know what's more important than the coaches and players of the teams that are in the playoffs almost all the time.....
