I don't need to read some speculative off-season article to decide that trading for Christian McCaffrey is a really bad idea. His best football is already behind him and you don't trade for that paycheck, no matter what That says it all about another brilliant off-season idea

Yes, let's trade for an often injured running back making 15M+ to play slot receiver. That'll put us over the top I love the off-season

You mean a coach that holds players accountable for performance without being a total a-hole? Yeah those coaches never succeed in this league and nobody wants to play for those teams Tin foil hats are definitely in season during the off season

Week 1 - @ CIN Monday night Week 2 - Home opener Minnesota @ Rams will be a Sun 4 PM national game @ KC will be a Sun night game @ Detroit will be Thanksgiving H NE on a Monday night Week 18 @ Miami

I met Jim Kelly last weekend at a bar here in Harrisburg PA. Happened to be wearing my Bills gear, went up to him, said "cheers" and walked away. Later, as he was leaving, he bought my table a round of drinks. Class act all the way, and the highlight of my year!

This comment is not about the pending discrimination lawsuit But why does it seem like Brian Flores has a problem with just keeping his mouth shut? Why as a coach would you ever say that to your franchise QB?

I mean the owner basically called them out at the end of the year for not making the playoffs. Betting that this is pretty much a mandate from the top to find a better QB no matter what the sunk costs are.

I always viewed Pat Shurmur as Jauron 2.0 so I'm hoping that his son has a little bit more of a pulse

In other news, water is still wet

Did I miss the part of the discussion where we scored 483 points this year (3rd in the league)? I don't really care how we get to the end zone, just how many times we get there

We can't lose a home game in a year when we will already have 9 road games. I think that happened to one of the NFC teams last year (maybe Atlanta?) and would be a real competitive disadvantage for us

There's only one position that you make a massive trade up for, and it isn't DE I recognize that the current regime didn't make this move, but I would hope we've learned the Sammy Watkins lesson

He's like the proverbial turd that just won't stay flushed

Levi Wallace has this one chance in his life to get a multi-year contract. He's proven beyond a doubt, that despite his draft standing and limited athleticism, that he is worth one He's going to get that contract for way more than he's ever made in a year We won't be the ones giving it to him

I pulled the trigger at halftime of the Bengals game Yes, the prices suck, but it's hard to see them getting cheaper. I'd regret the crap out of not being there next week if I hadn't done it

I always wanted his meltdown to be a little more like this

There's no way that the NFL is determining specific weeks for matchups at this early juncture. Anyone who's watched features on the NFL schedule in past years knows that there's a huge amount of coordination that goes on with teams, venues, networks, etc, and thousands of permutations etc that get thrown into their computers. They're not done yet, and they're likely not done for another couple of months, so anything now is just conjecture. At the very least, there's not determining weekly schedules until after the Super Bowl is played

This example just illustrates the problems when ownership meddles or over-involves themselves in player personnel decisions. It's played out countless times across many organizations over the years (including our own far too many times) Let the experts do their jobs - and go count your money and your play toys in the corner somewhere else

Great post as always Virgil, and I echo your sentiments about the pre-game feeling. I was way more worried about being in the cold for 4-5 hours than anything the Pats were going to do. I can't recall being that confident going into any of the 90's era playoff games that I attended, so it was definitely a different, but calming feeling of confidence pre-game

A very very poor man's Allen

My buddies and I (we were 18 at the time) nearly pummeled an Oilers fan sitting behind us at the Comeback game. He was trash talking us the entire first half "just like last week boys" but mysteriously clammed up during the second half... We settled for the more mature response of giving him a double barreled salute after Christie's kick went through in OT Any opposing fan who dares to shoot his mouth off in our stadium pretty much deserves what he gets. And he should never ever ever start sh*t in the bathrooms either...

Time for AJ Epenesa to step the frig up

I'm not terribly convinced that Daboll is leaving, but it would be a monumental upset for his successor to not be Ken Dorsey

The whole freaking team better be aware that Belichick is gunning for a punt block this week. He's the alpha shark smelling blood in the water and Haack + cold = Chum
