ToGoGo Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 26 minutes ago, WhitewalkerInPhilly said: Hot Take Alert: Thad Brown is a tool I agree with you on Cover 1. They do really good breakdowns, and actually know how to give relevant stat info without being drowned in numbers by offering context. Are they everyone's cup of tea? No But look, it's 2022. They are doing nothing other than commenting on what is open to the general public while most practice and meetings is behind closed doors. Cover 1 even offers the disclaimer that they are making guesses based off of trends. It just bothers Brown because he's a shill. It's definitely not everyone's cup of tea. Lots of football fans out there that fall asleep when hearing about Xs and Os. Also they're really aiming for the younger generation Bills Mafia kind of vibe. But it's smart, and that's more than can be said for tools like Thad Brown. That's not a hot take, that's exactly what he is. Football coverage for squares. Personally I think Eric is fantastic and the other guy he had on for the QB breakdowns in 2020 was excellent, I think he's on WGR still. Since then there's just too many guys and I have no clue who they are. But the vibe on Cover 1 is fresh and not tired and skeptical like Schopp and the like. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cover 1 doesn't need press credentials to get far superior content out there compared to what Thad Brown, a serious Bills sycophant, produces. lol...

StHustle Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Mannnnn…I’m starting to feel like the Mafia should run Thad Brown out of town! We should troll him non stop and heckle him when any Mafian sees him in public. My dislike for that guy is starting to turn into pure hatred 😡 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coffeesforclosers Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Thad provides the sort of sports coverage thats great for killing time during the weekend or on a break. I'm sure he's got a ton of insider knowledge, he just cant share it with us or he'll lose his access. Cover 1 is great for explaining how the game of football works from the Bills PoV. Some of the guys in their podcast network are lame, but that's what the next button is for. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JESSEFEFFER Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 I think Thad is jealous that Cover1 does a better job of team coverage than him. Maybe other beat reporters feel that way too. Greg knows salary cap management better than most any NFL full time professional reporter/host/writer. Eric can break down film better than most of them too. The comment about it being a fan site seems to be an attempt to belittle their content. 4 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah well people also play it for money and it’s their livelihood. Like many die hards, I take my Bills seriously. I like good ol fun trash talk between fans…but this Jets fan is getting paid to cover our team and is clearly very methodical in his approach to trolling. Now he is attempting to snitch on our best fan run media team, as if the Bills don’t already know about them and what they do. Thad Brown is a true grade A douchebag, and well yeah, I hate douchebags. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is only here to cover our team…not like I’m talking about running off a guy is who has roots here or any other reason for being around. And I’m not talking about harassing with threats or anything…just us constantly letting him know he is a douchebag, his coverage sucks and we dont like him here. Makes sense from the most die hard fanbase in sports! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Hindsight Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Every single playbook in the NFL is the same plays. They have some variance and different terminologies, but the Pats* arent learning anything by watching cover one breakdowns that Belicheat hasnt seen over a 50 year coaching career. Teams put that out because they want to control the narrative. See: Tua, Miami Thad is mad he can't get an interview with Mitch Morse breaking down film 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they're a good mix of the extremely dry Circling the Herd and what our good friend Shaw66 does at Rockpile Report. I know I'm in the target demo of a millennial who likes analytics as one tools of many but I've read probably hundreds of fluff pieces that come out at this time of year through the drought. We know when we are being put on and when someone is trying to actually offer some insight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
