Not liking the shift in momentum of reports... Get this done Jags!

Browns roster is stacked. They just need a QB!

Gotta be more buttoned up than that, because we'll be right back in the playoffs next year and it's going to be time to kick that door down. Learn from this, have a plan for this next time that makes sense.

Hill returning that kick would be best case scenario. It increases the chance that he tries to be a hero, running around doing Tyreek things. Running sideways, juking, twisting and turning. Meanwhile, 7-8 seconds or more burns off the clock. Say he gets all the way to the 40. There's probably time for one hail mary at that point and that's it. Of course he could break one. But you trust your coverage team there.

I think pulled a Michael Scott as Florio suggested. Everyone thinks Friday is his last day and he leaves Thursday to avoid the hoopla around him. Man in the Arena aired this year. He's suddenly talking about retiring when last year there was no doubt after the SB win. His TB12 social media feeding the buzz. Giselle's social media posts about "enjoying things one last time" Brady saying that his family will be a major part of the decision (what, to keep playing when Giselle has tried to get him to retire for years now?) The NE ESPN guy put it out there first, along with a former Pats teammate of Brady. It was "speculation" from the same guy who called Brady to Tampa when that seemed very unlikely. Most of all, Brady said multiple times, including on his podcast Monday, that he does not want a "farewell tour" like Jeter had. So maybe he said 45 so nobody would suspect this was his last year. Maybe even more important than all of the above, he almost had one more "magical moment" but showed he can still play. That could easily not be the case come middle of next season, and he knows his body better than anyone. Eventually it all adds up, and he does not want to be mired in mid October with a nagging injury and playing like crap, and going out like that. That is WAY more likely than a repeat of his performance this season. Tampa's schedule was a joke this year, but next year it's freaking brutal.

In all the mayhem something got messed up. These coaches are too smart and too good for what we saw to have been the plan. It was a joke. I'm more angry now than I was Sunday just thinking about it and watching it back. It's like being up 3 in basketball and just collapsing your D back to the net and allowing the other team a wide open 3 point shot to tie and not even challenging them, just to avoid the 3+1 if you foul. Poyer and Hyde? Best safeties in the league? Let's put you guys 40 yards downfield so you can watch the play and have zero chance to win the game for us. It's so freaking stupid it's incredible.

Poyer and Hyde.. our best 2 defenders, were taken out of position to have any effect on the last 2 plays. They basically watched from 40 yards away. We also took 4 D linemen out of the play by having them do close to nothing. The game was decided on that 1st and 10 with 13 seconds. You cause issues there and they have half the time on the next play and not much to show for it. Now it's desperation heave time. Here's what I would do: ball is snapped and all 4 DL run backwards 10-15 yards. Nobody rushes at all. Normally a bad idea, but there are no super deep routes. What does Mahomes do? Does he run? tick..tick..tick 13, 12, 11, 10... Fine! go ahead. 9, 8, 7 ,6,5 and we tackle you at the 35-40. Meanwhile, what do the OL do? They can't run downfield or he cannot pass. So they stand there doing nothing, not sure what to do. Probably someone goes go downfield. It totally throws the offense off. That's not supposed to happen. It's also a non-hail mary play so the WR aren't running super deep routes, so there's really no danger of letting Mahomes just stand there for 5 seconds or 6 seconds to find the open man. The more time it takes, the better.

Well, something went wrong. On the kick, on the defense. NO WAY in the world did McD say "let's just let Hill and Kelce catch the ball and run 20 yards then tackle them guys!" There is just no way. He's too good a coach. Kicking it deep isn't totally crazy, because you trust your D and they have to go 40 yards in 13 seconds. But a squib or a pooch put pressure on KC to decide.. do I try to be a hero and run this thing back, or just go down way back here? We put ZERO pressure on them at any point in those 13 seconds. Everything was easy. Touchback: no pressure 1st and 10: no defenders anywhere in sight and nobody covering their best player. 2nd play: repeat of the first. NO WAY that was the plan.

I think Brady is retiring either way. But it will be cool to see what type of staff he assembles there and I hope the Jags do well. They have dozens and dozens of fans who deserve to see some success!

which part of the video talks about this? I don't want to listen to all 13 hours of this

This is a really cool story! Former player, tough, fun to watch, played with heart and passion for the Jags. Now returns as HC. He's a great person, and I hope he does well there!

Exactly! There was basically ZERO pressure or resistance. We let them complete 2 passes without even challenging them.

Chris Jones, Frank Clark and Melvin Ingram are all better than anyone we have on the DL. They actually get sacks and affect the QB in ways you can see without a spreadsheet, calculator, and fancy "advanced stats"

As a lifelong resident of this state it's depressing and heartbreaking to see so many once thriving and vibrant communities totally hollowed out and crumbling. That's all over NY too, not just WNY. I've been in every part of the state, and most of it is abandoned factories, closed businesses, crappy roads... It's like a cliche scene from a movie where a guy goes back to his hometown and you see his memories of ice cream stands open, people walking around, and life, and then it flashes to the present and the Scoop and Sprinkle is closed down, windows boarded up and garbage blowing around on the busted up sidewalk. BUT NY has some amazing communities and so many advantages... If gov't in Albany could get its act together things could be different

"I'm sorry guys, there appears to be some sort of seismic tremor, or earthquake going on here..." (sigh of relief) "Nevermind, that's just the new Bills DT (fill in name of enormous angry man here)" I want a huge, mean spirited, ultra competitive DT. Preferably one who can't stand Brady. Why Brady? Makes the next part easier. Make him watch Man in the Arena episodes prior to big games.

Because it wasn't true. #1 and #4 were the ones. That fumble in #4 in the second half was the killer.

Allen is at least equal to Mahomes, and I think McDermott is a very good coach. A very good coach with a superstar QB is eventually going to win it all.

Yeah, Manning "couldn't get past Brady" except he beat Brady in the AFC Title game 3 out of 4 times and went to 4 Super Bowls, winning 2. If you are great (and Allen is great) you're going to win a Super Bowl eventually.

Since I've got your attention Mr. Beane, draft a fat DT and some super fast RB/WR please!

For those criticizing McDermott, I say a little perspective is needed. He's a great young coach, who has created a strong culture here. AND if you get to a lot of playoff games, you'll have a lot of chances. Good coaches and good players are going to win eventually. Andy Reid, the loveable guy who "just couldn't win the big games" has a look at this: Coaching in his 4th Super Bowl, with 1 title already Coaching in his 3rd Super Bowl in a row, something only Schula, Levy and Belichick have done Moving from #5 to #4 in all-time HC wins in the next 1.5 seasons Moving from #4 to #3 in all-time HC wins if he coaches another 6-7 years (he's only 63 now) Possibly even move to #2 all-time behind only Belichick or Schula, depending on how long Bill coaches If Bill retires in a year or two, there is a decent chance that Reid ends up with more wins all-time as a HC. What does this have to do with McDermott? People were saying the exact same things some are saying now about McD: he can only take you so far, etc. No. You find a very good coach (and McD is a very good coach IMO) and you keep him. There are so many bad HC in the NFL. Keep building the program, and a guy who takes you to the playoffs year after year is eventually going to bust through. Unless it's Aaron Rodgers (sorry I couldn't resist)

Not even close. Let's not forget... EVERY huge comeback requires the other team to screw up immensely. Rams/Tampa game: 27-3. Rams fumble 4 times and missed a FG. One fumble was at the 1 yard line. Worst case scenario that's 3 points. Make the FG you missed and that's 3 more points. Even with the 3 other fumbles and other assorted *****ery all staying the same Tampa never has a chance no matter what they do. For Tom Brady (and it was ALL BRADY!) to tie that game when it was 27-3, these things had to ALL happen: Akers fumbles at the 1 right before half so the lead isn't bigger Kupp fumbles in 2nd half to set Tampa right up to score Akers fumbles in 2nd half to set Tampa right up to score Center snaps the ball 20 feet over Stafford's head THE PLAY AFTER Brady is strip sacked to set the Rams right up in scoring position to ice the game. If ANY 1 of those things does not happen the Rams win by 7+ and probably 10+ It took 4 incredibly self-destructive plays by the Rams to set Brady (AND IT WAS ALL BRADY MAGIC!) up to tie the game. Either way, they made the play at the end to seal it. Let's not forget: SO DID THE FALCONS! Brady gets to within 8 late in the Super Bowl and Matty Ice hits a strike to Julio Jones who makes a huge catch all the way down to the NE 20 (ish). You're inside of 3 minutes, around the NE 20, with an already 8 point lead. THE GAME WAS OVER. Only (ONLY) a tremendously dumb and unlikely series of events by the Falcons botched that. They pass (dumb) and it's incomplete. HOLDING CALL on a run (ehh, refs were going to do their part so I'm not going to go crazy there) SACK (absolutely box full of rocks STUPID to take that sack or even call a pass there). And they don't get to try the FG, which would have given the Falcons an 11 point lead with 2 minutes to go. EVERY "Magic" comeback requires the other team helping by being dumb.

New England fans would've done it after the Falcons SB but $283 is a bit steep I guess $28.30 would have worked.

How cool is it that fans get digs in by supporting other cities' charitable foundations with certain dollar amounts? Hey, I'm going to rub our win in a bit by buying your grandmother a new lawnmower! A rider! Then I'm getting your kid a new bike. TAKE THAT! I think this stuff is great... it's all in good fun, and it helps people in the end.

McDermott is an excellent coach. Frazier is OK. Daboll (IMO) is very, very good. When it comes to Dorsey, the last thing he would want I would think is to be the next Bienemy, where so much effort is put into "KC is really Eric's offense, Andy Reid is just the guy who decides when to call timeouts." Please. Just please. Like Ne England isn't Belichick's defense either...

Chances are almost 100% that Chiefs are going to try to get into FG range, not a TD. So you play normal defense there. Maybe 1 safety way back. The big play is really the first one with 13 seconds left. They are going to try to get around 20 yards. Even if they want to throw a hail mary the next play, they are going to want 20-25 yards the first play to set it up. They aren't going deep on play #1. Way too risky and then they're basically screwed if it doesn't work being 75 yards away with like 7 seconds left. So you play it like it's 4th and 20. Don't let them get an easy one there. If they go over the top and somehow beat you then they beat you. It's way, way, high risk for them. Like I said, one thing goes wrong for them there and it's 2nd and 10 at their own 25 with 6-7 seconds left. Then what? You stop them on 1st down with 13 seconds and you win the game. We played like it was 4th and 20 and we were fine with them picking it up.
