  1. Well if you look at 2013 to now, it doesn't look great for Whaley. It doesn't look downright awful either, even if we bottom out this season. But I'd be hard-pressed to call his regime a resounding success and definitely worthy of more time.

     

    No one is calling it a resounding success, but he's done pretty well, all things considered. I doubt no one is shocked that you'd be hard pressed to say he deserves more time, what with the crusade and all...

  2. This is a key insight. Along the lines of 'all battles are won or lost before they begin". Preparation is the key to victory. So a logicial defense might be to "show" Brady something that isn't what it appears to be, essentially utilizing deception and disguise. You need to confuse his pre-snap reads like if the WR goes in motion and nobody follows him you might read zone coverage and moments before the snap the defense needs to adjust to a man-to-man press scheme for example. This goes for the offense too. After you watch a team play every game you see tendencies and I seem to know what the Bills are going to do on most plays. If I can figure it out then certainly the professionals are way ahead of me. Bottom line, be unpredicable because predicability leads to negative outcomes.

     

    The Giants had success in 2 SB's by deploying their DE's inside over the Guards to put pressure on the interior of the offensive line that was not geared to defend speed but rather the size and strength of the typical DT. When they brought in the heavy offensive package the defense shifted to the standard set. And certainly playing 10 yards off their receivers is unacceptable. You need to play press coverage and physical every single down.

     

    The other unconventional thing I would employ is hiring a security firm to make sure nobody was stealing my signals, or playbooks, bugging my communications or locker room. Maybe its paranoia but why take a chance? The Patriots seem to know what you're going to do on offense and defense almost every single play. Is their coaching that good or is there more to it? I say, eliminate the "more to it" possiblity. I might even go as far as having three different coaches signal in the play to the team and if they are stealing my signals let them try and figure out which one is real and which two are fake on every down. Create confusion and uncertainty.

     

    The other problem is New England provides a unique challenge with their personnel. And if you play a team once or twice a year and maybe not at all, are you going to set up you team to beat that one opponent as opposed to setting your lineup and team for the other 14+ games?

    I like the security idea. What say we all chip in to bribe the new Pats*** equipment guy to get us the frequency for Brady's secret helmet broadcast. Then blast the Shout song as soon as the line gets set.
  3. Real hate from 'fans', real angry response from Sammy, fake outrage, fake talking to, fake public apology, mouth breathers appeased, the world continues to turn on its MICROSOFT access.

    Fixed. We're all mouth breathers some days, Fire Chan, even me.

  4. Of course Sammy did nothing wrong. That's why he retracted his statement, got a "talking to" by his HC, and put out a public apology. Those are the classic signs of doing nothing wrong.

    Real hate from 'fans', real angry response from Sammy, fake outrage, fake talking to, fake public apology, mouth breathers appeased, the world continues to turn on its access.

  5. We are literally doomed as a fan base because there is not a single player, coach or GM perfect enough to satisfy us. The second anything goes wrong we want everyone gone and start over.

    Totes McGotes.

     

    But remember, we have the best fans in the NFL and deserve a championship.

    We actually manage to have both the die-hard best and the mouth-breathing pitchfork-carrying worst.

  6. Outside of Cam Newton (who is 6'6 and 260#) a team needs a pocket passing QB. Tyrod may become that but it's worrisome that he's hurt and it happened on a long scramble. It's difficult to succeed in this league playing your backup 4 games every season.

     

    The Bills may be 3-4 and "all this woe" but they're certainly trending down after a debilitating loss in London. The defense is a mess, the starting QB is injured as is their 2014 top pick WR, and internal strife between the GM and HC. 3-4 is extremely underwhelming and doesn't tell the story of where they are at their bye week.

    What strife are you referring to?
  7.  

    Yeah, but at some point don't people get sick of looking for something to be outraged by? A comment someone makes in a reply on their own personal account is the modern equivalent of an overheard comment in a bar and doesn't merit much of a reaction. I can't be the only one sick of seeing people combing through other people's online activity to hold them up to public shaming.

    This. Its like with the advent ov social media any yahoo with a chrome book can play amatuer "gotcha journalism".
