Yeah, the Bills defense has played the Pats quite well recently. Much of the Pats scoring has come from the incompetence of the Bills offense in recent meetings. I’m more concerned with the Pats D than their offense. BB is really good at making young QB’s look terrible, and this offense still needs a real identity. That’s what frightens me the most.

I truly understand why you feel that way about Reid. Mahomes is just historically unstoppable right now. If Dee Ford lines up on side, Reid is in the Super Bowl last year. Peyton definitely had more to do with offense, but that also means Reid is responsible for much of the elite Chiefs offense. That should be a testament to Reid’s ability. Only Bill Belichick really stands in his way. Most of the NFL can say the same.

The Manning comparison is perfect. A title just seems inevitable if a QB can play at a historically elite level over a long career, regardless of the coaching staff.

They automatically get better once Brady retires. I hear you about paying Mahomes, but elite QB’s win titles these days. Other positions can be managed on a budget with a decent front office.

If Mahomes continues a full career playing how he has, Andy Reid will eventually take the Lombardi home.

Wentz is insanely overrated. Hasn’t done enough to prove he belongs in the category so many place him in.

Mayfield’s career will start to get interesting if he faces any continuous struggles. His entire football career has been about talking trash while delivering results.

A pumpkin would do just as well calling plays that get the ball into the hands of your playmakers.

I wouldn’t be shocked if Kitchens gets canned before the year is through.

Wow, that’s all I can say about that fourth down attempt.

Exactly, without that final drive it’s the same team we’ve been watching for years. Most NFL games are close, and not much separates good teams from bad teams. Winning these type of games is what separates teams.

I’ll take all the prime time Browns that I can get. I look forward to the first Mayfield/OBJ/Landry meltdowns.

No one, because I don’t want the interception to be revoked as penalty for touching Brady.

Sammy has a few really good games a year where he actually looks like a top 10 draft choice WR. Production wise he has never been the best receiver on any team he has been with in the pros. Over the course of three games with the Chiefs (even with Hill out) he hasn’t been the best receiver on that team for 2 of the 3 games, aside from his stellar opening game. A guy with his hype coming out of college should always be unquestioned as the best receiver on the roster.

Our D talks a big game, time to prove it.

Hate this game, such a drought era vibe to it. Pull out the victory, and it’s all good though.

Those are the type of plays that carve up defenses these days. The Bills sometimes seem adverse to running them.

Not calling anything to take advantage of that either.

I’m not ready to say that. If Allen really is “the one”, these are the times when future franchise QB’s lead their team to victory.

Yeah, really need to call some quick passes with short routes to settle things down a bit. That’s exactly what Beasley is here for

Let’s hope he doesn’t become the new Tolbert.

Very true, it’s hard to believe Bama had all those rough years.

“History” is the key word at this point.

Yeah, lots of people followed ND who lived in areas with no major college team. NYC and Boston used to be filled with ND fans. Take into account the predominance of Catholicism in those areas, and you have a fan base. I grew in a mostly Italian neighborhood far away from South Bend, and everyone had Fightin’ Irish apparel. Yeah, I’ve known a few old timers who viewed ND as the “clean cut” guys. I never understood how anyone who went to Catholic school themselves could view them as the “clean cut” ones though (I joke with much truth).

I think this is just one case where I’ll have to agree to disagree with you. In my mind it’s completely plausible that Brown would have no interest in coming to Buffalo. He’s a diva who wanted a big market. All the money in the world wouldn’t have mattered imo. It’s not like he’s known for his wise decision making.
