Isn't the Buffalo TV market the 9th largest in the league? Didn't they pull some of the highest shares in the NFL even last year, at 6-10? Perhaps i'm wrong, but I seem to remember this being tweeted more than a few times last season.

NE's D has been below average long before Spikes got there. What statistical argument can be made for their HC being among the best in the biz defensively, particularly since the league became a passing league, as you correctly point out? Is there any evidence that Belichick is among the best in the biz defensively over, say, the last decade?

Agreed. What the Bills had at LB in 2013 wasn't too shabby. They have certainly made a concerted effort to upgrade from that in 2014. We'll see how it pans out. Agreed on the Jets but the Pats? Where do you see their strengths in the front 7? Wilfork off an Achilles and Mayo off a missed year can't be on your list. Hightower was exposed last year to the point of losing reps. Spikes is here now. Chandler Jones isn't bad, and the white dude with the beard can get to the passer sometimes, but otherwise there is nothing formidable there, unless perhaps I am forgetting someone?

Love how this guy uses his hands. Every catch you see him make is away from his body and all hands. Larry Fitz?

This is the greatest reply of all time.

Geographically and demographically it makes perfect sense.

It's Preston Brown

Preston Brown

Wow

That helps us!

Good to see, but IMO this should be the expected behavior, not a newsworthy item. I fully expect any player on the team I root for to work year round. Not ripping on any of these guys, just saying that this should not even be worth news. Some guys spent some time trying to get better at their job. Happens every day across the country. Ho hum.

Just like Byrd.

I feel bad for you. Good call TBC.

I'm embarrassed for you.

Yeah, no chance the Pats wll pick up the year 2 option on Revis. I'm not worried about SJ's head being in the game. I just want him to post his career averages vs Revis. If he does that, advantage Bills.

Not too shabby so far. Feels similar to Theo's (but not quite as robust) moves pre 2003.

It will be fun to see SJ vs Revis x2 again, Stevie ha a tough year last year. Posting his career averages vs Revis in '14 might go a long way toward restoring some of his credibility around this here board.

Agreed. I expect them to challenge for the division, and at worst a wild card spot. Anything less will be a failure. There is a lot of talent and finally depth on this team.

I understand your point, but to build a team around a playoff matchup that may or may not happen sure seems flimsy. It's a long season, attrition leaves it's mark on every club. Think he'll have the personnel to not get gutted up the middle? Think he'll have the personnel to not get gutted up the middle?

Sked's not out yet, but it would be funny if they hosted the Donks in weeks 1-4, wouldn't it?

Is it time to break out the TBD reliability meter?

You know there is no place for watching a player yourself and formulating your own opinion on him on this board!

Did you see George Siefert there as well? Was he flown in on Ralph's biplane?

Buffalo has a far superior line to Chicago.

Good read and an interesting perspective. Good for him.
