Blank Stare

All due respect, those guys have all been thrown on the trash heap by their respective teams prior to and/or including the cheats. Those are not super stars, contrary to what ESPN might have you think. Belichick elevates their game.

You are absolutely right. However, you know well enough by now that it isn’t that easy when trying to understand and characterize their success. They are the kings until someone steps up and throws their a&@ off the mountain. So far...hasn’t happened.

Agreed. Give it up to their corners for holding up just long enough for those zero blitzes and disguises to get home. Let’s be honest, they aren’t the only team to use a zero blitz, but as usual they do it better than everyone else. How many more games before teams adjust to it? Playing the cheats is becoming more like what playing in a playoff game at yankee stadium used to be. You lose it before you ever step foot on the field because the moment is too big and they are in your head.

Obviously, Belichick’s evil genius preparation helps, but it’s amazing to me what he’s doing with mostly a bunch of nobodies. Yes, you’ve got Gilmore, Hightower, and the good McCourty brother, but most everyone else seems like just a name. No dominant pass rusher. Purely, cohesion and out preparing their opponents. It’s impressive, but incredibly frustrating we didn’t take that first game.

Sadly, an improvement over the game.

What world class performance will be treated to at this weeks halftime?

I’ve heard that narrative before, but I think only part of that statement is true (the money). Coming from TheProcess, Gilmore is all “process”. I’m not just saying that. The dude prepared and worked as hard as anyone while he was here. We let him walk as he was entering his prime. Granted the belichick coaching and always having a lead has elevated his game, but McD is a DB guru. Hard to think he wouldn’t be playing comparably.

Who can we get to help us slay the cheats (besides a QB like some of you wise guys are thinking out there)? In all seriousness, what helps us most toward that goal? I’m thinking pass rusher.

Only thing worse than watching the cheats roll is listening to them heap praise on Gilmore. For whatever reason McD let him walk. Rare time we hit on a first rounder. I know we had cap issues then, but you don’t let guys like that walk out the door for nothing.

2-6, 6 yards, 2 Picks and 1 fumble lost.

Tuned in late. This is going well. This isn’t even the most talented cheats team I’ve ever seen. Refuse to believe they will go undefeated. But looking more likely our “but at least we’ve been to 4 Super Bowls in a row, no one will ever do that again” argument may die. Especially in a watered down AFC. Man I hate these tools. Big gulps huh guys?! Whelp...see ya later!

Talk about a mammoth human being. Look at Tyron Smith. Guy is a mountain.

Chase McLaughlin sighting. Nailed a long FG for the bolts. I know we are rooting for the titans, but Good for the former Bill.

Yep, I acknowledged that in a later post. I still take the points, but that’s me. Mainly due to if he drops down short of the end zone and we have a fumbled snap or something and they are driving for the win. Definitely remote, but possible. I take the points and make them drive for two scores in a minute left and no timeouts. Bills have invented new ways to lose over the last 20 years. But I definitely get the drop and kneel out the clock too. If that goes well, no question you take the win. Fortunately we got it anyway. My point still stands that this team is too conservative at times, and I think that’s McD’s mentality. Our possession before the last Miami TD is my point. You get a first down there and there isn’t much time for Fitz to do any of what he did. Instead we go three straight runs. Yes, they burned their TOs, but we still could have gotten them to do that with more aggressive play selection or (better yet) won the game with another drive.

Yep, that’s probably it and a good point. I can see the value there. I think I would have done what Hyde did and taken the points and made them drive for two scores with a minute left and no timeouts. But that’s the fan side of me. I’ll certainly concede maybe my example of this team being too conservative wasn’t the greatest.

I guess that’s true and a good point. Hadn’t considered that. But my mentality is to take the points there when clinging to a 3 pt lead. All it takes is a fumbled snap or something and they are driving for the win. We’ve seen it all before as Bills fans. Team has basically invented new ways to lose. Going to take more than a 5-1 start to shake 20 years of what we’ve endured. Lol.

Eric Wood was saying the same thing on the broadcast as he was running it in. That “aww shucks good guy conservative crap” has got to stop. You step on their throats just as Belichick would. Get so sick of having to be great sports. Miami wasn’t stopping. Why should we?

That Metcalf mouth guard is ridiculous.

Hey there we go! Posted something similar in the second half thread! Glad I wasn’t mistaken. Had to hit the recall button on that one.

I think Henry Jones did something like that years ago. Maybe against the Cardinals in prime time? Memory may be deceiving me.

Wow! The balls on Hyde. He misses that ball, dolphins recover.

I wish McD was a more aggressive coach. We pick up a first down that last series, there isn’t much time left for this stuff. Frustrating.

Getting ridiculous.

Get Deone Bucannon of the phone.

I don’t think McD will allow it if it is a grind it out type score. He’s too much of a nice guy. He can’t stop it if it is a quick hitter though.
