Edmunds!

Josh will settle down and be fine

Bad weather never stopped NE .. No dome.

Football is an outdoor game meant to be played in the weather No dome.

Allen is way off so far

As for Brady's voice, sometimes you can sound like that when you're just plain exhausted. I'm sure he's putting in extra hours this week, knowing that Belichick is cooking up something special to welcome him home.

Was Belichick spotted lurking around any avocado groves lately? As far as Brady sounding awful, I am convinced he's on some sort of performance enhancer. He just has to be. You don't get a stronger arm and become better and better in your early to mid 40's in such a violent and physical game. If it were Favre I would accept it, because he looked and moved like an athlete. Brady is a skinny little twerp who can't move and looks like a good hit would crush his bones. Yet here he is, going on and on and on and on and actually getting BETTER in his 40's while all the other greats look ready for a retirement home by age 39-40. Brady's career from age 37 on is undeniably better than his career from age 22-37. That alone makes no sense.

6 rings, 9 Super Bowls and yet everything about that team is miserable.

Urban Meyer not enjoying NFL football

Burrow looks good

Did Jaguars switch back to their old helmets? Fun game between 2 young QBs

Both QBs making some great throws Never seen so many picked up flags

WTF are the Bengals doing? Zach Taylor is a joke as a HC. Could be an attractive opening with Burrow

Nice stand by Bengals defense. Still like the call to go for it there by Jax.

So much for the Bengals being for real

Houston turned down some insane offers

Oddly, I'm really enjoying this game

Yup. I wish this game could live up to its hype, but Brady and the Bucs are going to outscore NE's popgun offense, and it won't be close.

If it goes into the offseason a lot of teams will be interested and have capital.

Urban Meyer is about to have a flare up of "health issues" that resolve just in time for the winter recruiting trips in his new job at USC. I think a lot of the legendary college coaches benefit from having completely stacked teams that overmatch most opponents. Win a big game or two and you're undefeated for the year. Do that for a decade and you're a legend. In the NFL, doesn't work so easily... Doesn't mean you're not a good coach. But maybe many of these guys are just good, not legendarily amazing.

Plus the Eagles and Dolphins could each send a former Alabama QB to Houston in the deal. I'm not sure who I'd rather have... Maybe Hurts?

I am so locked in for this game you can't even imagine, although some of you probably remember my incoherent weekly meltdowns about the Patriots when Brady was there so it might not come as a surprise. The Patriots were the sound in the middle of the night, the monster under the bed, the unknown terror lurking around every corner, the wet blanket on fun up and coming players and teams. Anything great anyone did never mattered, because Brady would throw 368 passes a game to Edelman, who would be wide open every time, and they would go 17 plays in 12:30 to score a TD. Rinse and repeat. Plus, NE cheated a lot and Belichick was always miserable. Put simply: For me, Brady and NE made football a lot less fun for a long time. Life was easy back then: NE=bad. But here we are... Evil vs Evil. Villian vs. Villian. Nightmare v Nightmare. And really, it's 100% a fair fight. Belichick made the choice to let Brady go almost 2 years ago now. Belichick has had 2 entire offseasons to retool the team to his liking. So, there is really no way to say "well, the Patriots aren't really up to the task" without that being 100% totally on Belichick. Thus, if Brady comes in and embarrasses NE in blowout fashion then it would be 100% proof that Brady > Belichick. After all, this is truly Bill's team. This is his vision vs. the QB he didn't want 2 years ago. No excuses. Who will I root for? I honestly couldn't tell you. I won't actually know until I see the game. But my gut tells me that I would enjoy seeing Brady humiliated by Belichick's defense more than I would enjoy seeing Brady and Gronk run up the score in Ne and all of their "fans" cheering for Tampa over NE.

Makes sense, thank you!

More and more the NFL is becoming a product for TV I want open air because it looks amazing on my 72 inch TV while I'm sitting on my couch in my Bills gear sipping good beer and munching on good food with a front row seat. Except for places like Sofi, domes look like the game is being played in a basement. It's awful. Nothing worse than a beautiful blue sky fall day in Orchard Park and the game looks like someone put down that cheap green outdoor carpet from Lowes inside of an airplane hangar and invited 2 NFL teams over.

Bills were smart... The price only goes up
