Dr.Sack

He’s a guy who routinely throws for under 200 yards a game and has the throw moon shots to get the ball down the field. I’d pass if I was the GMen.

I liked Donald Jones. He was more relatable to this brother.

If they can’t make payroll paying guys $80k Kaepernick was smart to ask for $20m. $50 this league folds in 2 years.

League should be 7vs7.

Allen still needs 2019 as a learning year. Can fans wait?

Buffalo > Wyoming > Firebaugh Cali

Nothing to do with short dink and dunk passes and run heavy fronts early tiring out the defense?

McCoy isn’t good at consistently gaining yards. His big play ability has diminished. I’d trade him, over bring him back to be a 3rd down back.

How does NE do it so well?

The NFL was going to lose bad in the court of public opinion. Their base fan base is mostly young millennials who consume the game & are interested in the men behind the masks. They are the ones who drive the league’s growth both digitally, internationally, and on selling apparel. These fans follow their favorite players Instagram & twitter accounts. Kaepernick is iconic because he came of age at a time when the game was changing & our country was trending towards political polarization. Here was the next Randall Cunningham level athlete who was trying to be fit into a box by people who said he couldn’t throw from the pocket, mostly the same people who opposed his image. Somehow this kid worked well inside of the offense of one of the strictest coaches in the NFL. Harbough designed an offense where he could destroy teams with RPOs seen in college, but the general public were told couldn’t work in the pro game. Inevitably came the injuries on defense and the FO failure to reload the pool of talent that New England seems to only replenish thanks to a genius FO of Belichick & Ernie Adams. Kaepernick lost teammates and coaches. By 2016 Kaepernick had realized his time in the NFL would be short. He was approaching 29 & with limited time to get to a winner given his style of play, he was faced with a choice. Rather than bow out sight unseen like Vontae Davis he decided to shed light on an issue near his heart. He chose to use his celebrity and status to start a national conversation about police brutality and racism. The NFL was always going to lose the Trump fans who need to be told how to think and feel. Fans who could be triggered with one tweet or sound bite. What the NFL couldn’t afford to lose was their new fan base as loyal to individual players than they are to teams. Fans who could empathize with Kaepernick and respect his activism.

Tom Brady will have to be knocked out of the league. Teams should send all out blitzes and hit him on every pass on time or after its out. Watching the mic’d up of the Super Bowl it was apparent the zebras didn’t like Donald tossing Brady to the ground which was a routine play. Probably only got away with it because of his own star power. That said remember back in the day defenders were allowed to drive the QB into the ground and land on them? Oh how I miss the good ole days.

Someone who is 6’3” 220 runs a 4.4 great hands vertical quickness, good route runner, courageous, leader, intelligent.

I count 3 missed tackles.

Thurman Thomas was awesome in this game. If Meggett aka Welker/Amendola/Edelman didn’t convert that 3rd and 17 we likely win.

Hence why teams need to do the same thing back to them. Remember how upset Belichick was when TJ Ward took out Gronk’s knee in 2013? The only time Belichick gets emotional is when one of his stars goes down. In 2010 he blamed the field conditions for Welker’s injury. He’s such a control freak and those kind of injuries destroy so much of his in game planning. When Welker destroyed Akim Talib in the AFC Championship game concussing him Belichick said afterward “it was one of the worst plays I’ve ever seen”. Really Bill?

Maybe we can draft some guys on defense who like to hurt people like “Patriot Killer” Bernard Pollard or TJ Ward? Safeties who played the game the old school Ronnie Lott way. I like Poyer and Hyde, but they don’t have the body type or playing style of hard hitting safeties that scare the hell of opposing teams receivers.

Belichick has a entire dept dedicated to intelligence gathering led by Ernie Adams & now being assisted by Sean Harrington an MIT programmer who turned down jobs at Google & Amazon. https://slate.com/culture/2019/01/ernie-adams-berj-najarian-sean-harrington-nick-caserio-patriots.html Meanwhile it seems the Bills have guys crunching numbers on abacuses. If you say Belichick, whose father was a 30 year scout for the Naval Academy and wrote a infamous book on it, doesn’t treat this as war you’re missing the point. Belichick’s entire operation is based on studying the opponent & out prepping them. The only way you beat a superior coached team is knowing they are already know your every hand. You have to play different & must hit them unconventionally. Installing gadget plays is nice, but so to is declaring war on his best players & hitting them late after the pass has left their hand. Brady never gets hit, so why not crush him 3 seconds after it’s out? Why not grab Brady and body slam his head into the field turf? Why not accidentally ‘trip’ and take a shot at his unguarded right knee? Why not have two guys hold up Edelman & have another guy take out his surgically repaired knee? To beat Belichick you need to have a long game approach & also an asymmetrical approach. Hindering his plans by taking out his best soliders is a good plan. Everything must be different because if you give this guy two weeks to prepare and you run the same stuff you are dead.

It’s up to Josh Allen to read the defense & get the ball out on time and accurately. The WR needs separation ability, intelligence, courage and good hands.

Brady seems good enough to survive another season and add a 7th ring presuming Gronk & Edelman return. Also NE has the beginnings of a stud RB & elite defense. Their OLine improved & their coaching is superior. Expect a dominant NE until someone finds a way to hurt Brady.

If you get to the Super Bowl 9 times with the same coach chances are play for an elite organization. Belichick even found a way to get to 11 wins with Matt Cassel.

It needs to be implemented. Penalties are non-reviewable which makes them much more important then current plays that can be reviewed. I want the ability to challenge 1 play per drive.

Rams deserves to lose, but this is why challenging penalties or non-penalties must be done. There’s too much riding on the line. I’m willing to lose a few plays per game & perhaps the playclock should be wound down to 35 seconds from 40 to offset.

If I’m Brady I go for ring #7. Now it’s on the Bills to get #1.

Rams 30 Cheats 17

Really a non story. Buffalo might have crappy weather but it’s not about the weather for the 99.9% of players who just want to compete for a roster spot. That being said, the better question is do we retain our elite players? How good are we at lifers? Guys like Kyle Williams. I thought Stephon Gilmore didn’t mind Buffalo, but he took more $ to go to a winner. I’ll this forever, no one cares about the weather as long as you’re winning.
