Damn. Eat ****, Pats***.

8 points = 1 score (with 2-point conversion)

No kidding. The Pats*** offense is clearly frustrated and out of sync, but they're only one score down. The thing I hate about them is that they always seem to generate mistakes by the other team at the worst time, and need only one chance to pounce.

Anyone watching the new series "The Expanse" on SyFy? Based on the novels, though I haven't read them, supposed to be good. Wife and I have watched the first four or five episodes and I'm pretty impressed. I think they do a really good job with the characters and the atmosphere, and the plot has us hooked pretty good.

Unreal. That was seriously unreal. I don't even know what to say.

Ridiculous. I can't believe the ineptitude that I've seen today. First KC, then this? That has got to be the most insane drive to end the game with no timeouts that I've ever seen. 4th and 20, then the hail mary? You've got to be kidding me. Arizona, you suck ****.

That was quite possibly the worst clock management at the end of any game that I have seen. And this was a playoff game. That's just embarrassing.

I hate Brady so much I can't even fathom it.

I am so sick and tired of seeing teams self-destruct when they get to NE in the playoffs.

Not unless Dougie is willing to part with some draft picks. Which, I would hope, he wouldn't.

You must have consulted my wife!

Interesting...same last name, no relation. I thought for a moment you were talking about me!

And here I thought it was going to be another boring Monday.

Just not the winning point.

He didn't...really?

Oh I see, I thought you were referring to just having the ball straight up and down, not slanted to one side or the other. I was just saying kickers often like it slanted, I wasn't referring to a slant in one direction or another.

Yep, I know. That's what I meant.

Lots of kickers don't want the ball straight up. They often tilt it a bit. We can blame the holder, of course, but I'd be willing to bet he was coached not to play around trying to rotate the ball, given how cold and slippery it was. Especially since the kicker did fine with the laces earlier.

I remember some announcer using it for one of the NFL games this year, but I can't remember the context. Probably one of the overtime games.

Anything containing the phrase, "struggled mightily." God, I hate that.

I actually think it was kind of clever. Sorry, eball, I didn't mean to bring this back up so everyone could take a shot at you.

Tyrod isn't even Top 3 for Bills QBs over the past 16-year playoff drought. At least, according to our favorite, Sully: 1. Ryan Fitzpatrick; 2. Drew Bledsoe; 3. J.P. Losman; 4. Tyrod Taylor; 5. Trent Edwards; 6. Rob Johnson; 7. Kyle Orton; 8. EJ Manuel. He still has Losman as better than Tyrod. "To me, Taylor is a more talented and efficient Losman, but needs another year to prove it." Click if you dare, but really, I wouldn't do it if I were you

Kind of funny in retrospect. Not funny "ha ha", though.

Not unless he's totally cool with blocking most of the game. You never know!
