The only pleasure I have this game is getting to see him pout on the national stage in epic proportions. He's been like this his whole career. Somehow the world projected him as the prototypical stoic excellent sport HOF Quarterback. He's a whiny baby HOF Quarterback. And a miserable sport. Watching him and young Jay Cutler go at it in the AFCW long ago was excruciating. Edited January 13, 2019 by BarkleyForGOATBackupPT5P

I missed the start of this conversation. Did someone suggest Brady is cheating with performance enhancing drugs and what not? It's kind of a back handed compliment, but I can totally see Brady as doing that stuff, because he is such a fierce competitor and wants to win at all costs. That is the common thread in guys like that, including Lance Armstrong. Also, when you see highly unusually better than normal athletic performance, at advanced ages, you should immediately think "cheating with drugs." Barry Bonds comes to mind.

Unlike Romo, as an example, who seems genuine, a good guy, and you feel like you know him. *EDIT: That's just my take, of course. Nantz calls more than football though. College Basketball & Golf too. Just look at his announcing as a whole, is why I think he is very good.

Belichick said himself he prayed that we didn't run on them from the start because it would have been bad. Thurman Thomas had only 15 carries and ran for like 140 yards. If the Bills weren't stubborn and ran the ball more like they should have then we may have a Super Bowl trophy in Buffalo Should have run the ball more, but if they did a 2 man line would be laughed at. Not a great coaching move, just a desperate one. Bills outsmarted themselves. A few more running plays and B.B. would have scrapped that look anyway and died a slow death rather than a fast one.

It should definitely be a concern when these games are scheduled. I mean, why not? I think the time zone shift accounts for about .8% of what we have seen today, but that doesn't mean it isn't a concern to be addressed. Games should be as even as they can be in terms of things like this. Thanks bud.

I'm talking more in terms of his character and persona. Schopp and the Bulldog spent some time once talking about how Nantz revealed in an interview that he has to have his toast prepared a certain way, at breakfast, when he's on the road. He went on about how it is so often screwed up, he has come to take a photograph of perfectly prepared toast, and keeps it with him when on the road. When he orders his toast, he stresses how it has to be prepared and shows the waiter/waitress the photograph. The point was that he is a totally self-consumed douchebag, which may or may not be true.

John in Jax Posted January 13, 2019 Posted January 13, 2019 OK, I just nearly puked up my homemade chili after that shot of Kraft and Bon Jovi!
Mark Vader Posted January 13, 2019 Posted January 13, 2019 Bon Jovi! Oh if there wasn't more of a reason to want the Patriots* to lose. 1
Buffalo03 Posted January 13, 2019 Posted January 13, 2019 Favorite classic Geico commercial? I have to go with Maxwell the pig saying "weeeeeeeee". Or the Moose hump day commercial. Those are my two faves. Both were on today. I also love the "Bob Weadababyeetsaboy" one as well lol

Had nothing to do with BBs side of the ball. Bills scored almost a point per minute of possession, but the D let them down that day. The d was an issue, no doubt. We did score 1.6 points per minute in the 2 previous playoff games leading to the SB that year. Giants d held us to more than 1/2 point per minute. Maybe we were frustrated offensively with sitting on the sideline so much, but I still think Bill was key to holding us to 19 points. Still something to behold how good he is.

Re NO, they have basically taken the last 3 weeks off. Lot of time to prep and get healthy. Yes, they’ll be rested. Sometimes a team is better keeping on playing. I’m not going to put itvpast Foles, though it seems like a tall order. 2

You can argue it's hindsight, but the story of XXV was not ramming the ball down the Giants' throat with our run game, which was outstanding. That would have forced them to change what they were doing, and THEN we could have gone back to the air. The thing is, Levy and the coaches were paid big bucks to figure that out during the game, not with the benefit of hindsight.
