Most importantly when it comes to the discussion of how much to spend on an RB, this is a viable alternative to finding a great QB. Outstanding defense + outstanding run game + average QB can win games.
And an RB like that is a lot cheaper than a star QB.
-
The reason I even started this thread is not only how well Murray did this season, but the type of back he is. That's the type of back you want if you're going to run a ground & pound offense. We currently don't have anyone on the roster that we can feed the ball to that much. And while Gore is(or was) that type of back he's 5 years older than Murray and doesn't have nearly as much left in the tank.
Cuz we all know that Spiller, Bryce Brown, or Boobie will never bee RBs that can carry the ball over 20 times a game for 16 straight games.

They probably did want to sweep it under the rug, but someone leaked it to that reporter. Too late for that now.

Do I think this whole thing with the pressure of the balls is hugely important? No. The Patriots would have undoubtedly won regardless. It's the Patriots' consistent willingness to bend or break the rules to gain an advantage that I have a problem with. For a team that already has one of the longest and most dominant franchises in NFL history, with the greatest QB of all time and the greatest Head Coach of all time, why the hell should other teams have to put up with them cheating? Isn't it hard enough to beat them as it is?
They're cocky, condescending, annoying, AND they cheat. The NFL needs to do more to stop them. -
He just saved a bunch of money on his car insurance by switching to Geico?

The problem with only upgrading the line is that we're not magically going to become a line that just any RB can run for 1800 yards like Murray just did.
-
Looks like he'll be out of Dallas this year. With no really good QBs available to the Bills this FA, Rex's defense+ground£ philosophy, and the rest of the Bills roster already well-fitted to that philosophy would Murray be the final major piece to turn us into a Seattle-like team? Throw in an upgrade or two at OG and an average vet QB and the 2015 Bills become an instant Superbowl contender imo. Maybe not a favorite to make it, but definitely a playoff team and in the conversation.

a homer former indy newspaper man makes an accusation.
league acknowledges they are checking it out (god forbid they ignore this conspiracy)
haters immediately reach guilty verdict
nevermind that it all started because on the first offensive play from scrimmage in the third quarter, following a kick return, referee Walt Anderson briefly stopped play to replace a football which could have been related to this issue. although retired ref Mike Carey — serving as an analyst for CBS — suggested officials were customarily swapping one used for the kickoff with another designated for game action.
Why are you acting like the Patriots haven't been caught by the league for cheating before? "Haters immediately reach guilty verdict?" If someone had been caught robbing houses and then a house got robbed on his street a couple years later, who do you think the cops are going to question first???

Oh, and to those that think Belichick won't win without Brady are forgetting that Brady missed an entire season after getting knocked out in the opener in 2008. Patriots backup QB Matt Cassel hadn't started a single college game, and hadn't started on since high school. The Patriots went 10-5 with a scrub at QB.
They also had one of the best rosters they've ever had that year.
-
Sorry, just scrolled back down my facebook news feed and I was wrong. Victim of tricky social media headlines. UPROXX posted a video link earlier that said Patriots were being investigated for deflating balls and the picture was someone bent over on the sidelines doing something, but when you click on the link it just plays the video of when the refs stopped the game to switch the balls.
-
Apparently there's a footage of some lackey on the Patriots' sideline intentionally deflating a ball that started this whole investigation.
-
I'm sure he'll do wonders for their offensive line.
-
I know what you mean. I hate Tom Brady to the point that I would stop watching the Bills if we somehow traded for him or signed him. This is all hypothetical anyway. We're not lucky enough for him to retire even if he wins his 4th ring.
-
-Bill Bellichick files an antitrust lawsuit against the Jets to free him from his contract so he can join the Patriots
-Patriots get caught cheating in Spygate and fined in 2007
-Raiders accuse Patriots of tampering with Randy Moss in 2008
-Former Patriots accuse Patriots of cheating on injury reports in 2013
-Patriots investigated for deflating balls in the AFC Championship game in 2014
Real stand-up team they got there.

Oh Jesus Christ, they won by 38 points. They could have been using a marshmallow and this wouldn't have mattered.
This is getting old and makes us look like jealous idiots.
And for theove of God, enough with the asterisks askter the name Pats. It's childish, but more importantly MAKES NO SENSE. You're not questioning their name. If you want to use it after one of the Titles (should you mention one of those), it's still childish, but at lease it makes sense - if that's what you're going after.
Cheating is cheating. The cheating doesn't have to be the direct reason for your win to make it wrong/illegal.
-
For the same reason that the Seahawks are expected to let him walk: He's a tool and a huge distraction.
-
Damn...you almost convinced me to cheer for the Pats...but nahhhhh.
All I'm saying is that IF he was guaranteed to retire if they won the bowl this year I'd happily root for them to get him out of the league and end his reign of terror. Nobody is going to remember the 15 year playoff drought of the Bills(except us). They're going to remember Tom Brady. Nobody is going to look back and have expected the Bills to do well when Tom Brady was in their division. People don't talk about how crappy the goalies were that Wayne Gretzky scored on or how bad the pitchers were that were pitching to Babe Ruth. Our 15(+?) years of failure will all be summed up in one lump category of "the time when Tom Brady dominated the AFC" and we won't get out of that shadow until he retires.

Just bought my tickets! Section 142 row 20.

If it meant Brady retired I'd root for them in a heartbeat. I don't care what anyone says about "wanting to beat them with Brady so it's more honorable or meaningful" or whatever. People seem to get lost and unaware when we're watching it happen before our eyes, but people looking back will grasp the situation much better; it's simply unfair that the Bills have had to have Brady in their division for 15 years. We're not talking about a good or great QB. We're talking about someone who will probably go down as the best QB in the history of the sport. That's like being a professional boxer and having to fight Muhhamod Ali twice a year for 15 years straight or playing baseball and pitching to Babe Ruth or Mickey Mantle every game for a decade and a half. When people talk about the first decade in the NFL of the 21st century 30 YEARS FROM NOW Tom Brady will be a legend and the Bills will be a tragic footnote, only worth mentioning because we contributed to all of his records.
The next evolutionary step for the Bills and every other AFCE team simply cannot begin until Brady is gone, regardless of how much we want to romanticize about finally toppling the giant through our own roster's talent and cunning. And unfortunately that's probably still 3-4 years away.
So yeah, I'd root for the Pats if it meant he'd retire. I'd get his number tattooed on my ass if it meant he'd retire after this season.
-
The two teams I dislike the most playing for the championship? Yeah not thrilled. The only thing I'm looking forward to is a 3rd consecutive Pats superbowl loss to crush the souls of Pats fans everywhere.
-
Every RB the Pats trot out onto the field looks great. It's been like that for years. Know why? Because of their offensive line and Brady. Blount isn't some amazing diamond in the rough we missed. When there's great blocking and a QB you have to respect in the passing game, my grandmother could run for a few TDs.
-
Holy **** wow.

The onside kick didn't lose it for GB, it was the play-to-not-lose offense at the end.
GB hasn't lost yet my friend!
ANYONE ELSE HAVE SYMPATHY FOR HACKETT?

I think it was crappy for Marrone to leave him out to dry like that, especially after making our offensive troubles in 2014 look like Hackett's fault.
