Brady says he will be playing in next years Super Bowl
TheFunPolice replied to ALLEN1QB's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
It's so strange.... it seems so obvious to everyone except the HOF possibly GOAT head coach/GM -
I think Kraft is betting that nobody else will open the checkbook for Brady OR Bill WANTS Brady to walk but the Patriots want to look like they did everything they could to keep him WITHOUT making it seem like Brady turned his back on the team and fans. Over the years the Jets and Dolphins have beaten NE here and there, whereas for the Bills it seems impossible. 2 reasons: 1) Our offenses never score enough points. We try to beat NE 15-12, which means all Brady needs is one drive for a TD or one timely flag, whereas out defense has to be 100% perfect all game to win that type of game. 2) Our defense is back loaded, with secondary playmakers. To beat NE you need a pass rush without blitzing.

Bleacher Report predicts Funchess to Bills
TheFunPolice replied to BillsMafi$'s topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Beane tried to trade for Antonio Brown last March I think he's aiming for some impact players on offense -
Suddenly everyone who works for the Browns having their decisions vetted by Depodesta doesn't seem so crazy Sorry Baker, analytics ran the numbers and this affair goes badly for you in 99.7% of simulations....

“I stand back and look at it from a distance. Maybe he doesn’t want to teach a new guy, who has just a little more ability, the ins and outs of his system. It’s my job to press him on that if I think there are players who make us better in the draft or free agency.” Both of those quotes were interesting to me... I've noticed that Beane has been letting people know lately that he is the guy making personnel decisions, not the coach. I would normally have read that as referring to the offense, since the defense seems stacked but the phrase "his system" would seemingly refer to the defense. Beane must know that we need weapons for the offense and cannot hope to win games by playing ultra conservative.

I think Terry was always and now is much more interested in being an NFL owner than NHL. I know I would be much more into the Bills than the Sabres, even if both teams were good. Who can blame him? Football is much more relevant, much more fun regardless of record, makes more money, and provides much greater chances for glory. A 4-12 Bills season is still more fun than watching these recent Sabres teams. There are still some ups and downs. Still some drama. The country cares on some level. It feels like it matters. The NFL product is 100X better than most NHL games, which feel like a scrimmage in a half empty arena where you could hear a pin drop. Part of it is that there are only 16 NFL games vs 82 in hockey. These Sabres seasons feel 250 games long, though. It feels like they play (and lose) every single day. They were talking about the Sabres on WGR and asked a good question recently: "What ARE they good at?" Awful at PR and fan experience (see the article above for numerous examples) which is something that should be easy to nail.

McShay - Bills pass on WR and take RB Swift in 1st.
TheFunPolice replied to PIZ's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Drafting a RB in the first round is completely insane. It borders on incompetence. Totally indefensible. The league is filled with very good RBs that were drafted in rounds 2,3,4. We have one on our own team in Singletary! Henry was a 2nd round pick. I could go on and on. There is no position other than punter that I would be more upset to waste a 1st round pick on. -

He will be 43 next season. I'm so glad that hubris will keep him playing! -
New CBA to be voted on will include 17 weeks
TheFunPolice replied to CorkScrewHill's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
What about 49ers vs Raiders at Penn State's field, for example? Obviously Steelers game there would essentially be a home game. -
I think Jerry Hughes is held on every single play. At least it looks like that to me. Either way, the refs were consistent. I don't think a single holding call was made all game, and as a fan, I loved it. Nothing sucks more than seeing huge plays negated by stupid holding penalties. Half the time you can't celebrate right away because every time something exciting happens there is a flag to ruin it. This SB is exactly how every game should be called IMO.

TheFunPolice replied to CorkScrewHill's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
If you're on a great team like NE or KC that goes deep in the playoffs every year, you eventually play entire extra seasons worth of games at 100% full speed and effort that guys on bad teams never play, just speaking in terms of wear and tear on the body A 17 week season with 1 neutral site game for every team per year could lend itself to some pretty cool venues. Not only international. Legendary college stadiums hosting a game here or there would be neat to see as well. -
That is going to be amazing if it happens!
