Who spent $160 Mil plus on the Defense? https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/32167432/will-new-england-patriots-see-results-spending-163-million-free-agency?platform=amp The Patriots guaranteed $163 million in unrestricted free agency, which owner Robert Kraft has acknowledged is risky business Well he is going to have to spend a lot more this off season. He's got $27M as of now. Free Agents he needs to sign and/or replace. JC Jackson - Big money and may want to move on. Devin McCourty Dont'a Hightower Ted Karras Jacobi Meyers ....to name a few. I keep saying he will want to go all in with money and picks next year. He may leave New England a "scorched earth" when he is done. Quote

Can’t believe it took him that long to get locked in like he did, bc his post game conferences after losses till then were very mopey The wind game is also the game where BB told the world he didn't trust his quarterback. Yeah they won that game, but how'd it go after that? 1 Quote

Maybe now it’s clear the rabbit has the gun he might be a little more reluctant to give McD time. Yea. I am willing to give him the benefit of the doubt and say he was just cold, upset and wanted to get in last night. Last year he definitely took the team in Gillette to embrace and congratulate McDermott. He did make a point in his perfunctory presser of saying the Bills were "very well coached" 1 1 Quote

RalphWilson'sNewWar Posted January 16, 2022 Posted January 16, 2022 Yeah, there was nothing to see here on the egregious side of things. Plenty of coaches thru plenty of decades have met for less time at mid field after a game. This is also … just a pony show anyway. You have players and coaches who meet after the game away from the media in private to. Quote
bigduke6 Posted January 16, 2022 Posted January 16, 2022 (edited) i dont really care for Belichick, is he a great coach or did he cheat his way there through the rough times and eventually put together a well oiled machine that didnt need the "extra" help? where theres smoke, theres usually fire, and much more that hasnt been uncovered imo. he was crap b4 Brady, hasnt been much better post Brady. my take away from watching Bill not really want to talk to McD is, hey gratz u won, u lucked into a generational talent, i had one, owned your current team for 2 decades, now i dont, and i dont know if i have enough time to groom this current guy into a servicable winner before i decide to retire. GG i guess. gl with Mahomes. nobody likes to lose, and the guys who rarely lose, hate it even more. lets face facts here, Bill wouldnt need to be meeting McD as the loser if Brady hadnt left, and our Bills were still trotting out guys like Tyrod, or Nate, or, etc etc. We are very fortunate that Josh has worked out, nobody really knew what we were getting on draft day, u never truly know. Bill definitely respects Josh's talent tho, hes shown it, and actually verbally acknowledged it on more than one occasion. the thing is tho, Josh is a player, McD, is a peer as a coach, people treat others differently depending on their job titles. i imagine that Bill is cordial enough with most people post season, including McD. not during the season tho, and especially not after a loss that crushing.

Add to that, that he knows how the pats owned us for 20 straight years. So Ya, he probably wants to hand them their a$$ any time he can Absolutely love the way McD has handled the situation. Even his first year you could tell he wasn't about the "kiss the rings", but unlike Rex he kept that fire internal and externally said the right boring things. The exception being the way-overblown comment after the hurricane game where he wasnt about to call Bellicheat a genius just because the Bills didn't capitalize on so many chances to put the game away. There's never been fear or worship - i like to believe he feels like a lot of us do about Bellicheat - F him - his time is done. Edited January 16, 2022 by stevewin Quote

LABILLBACKER Posted January 17, 2022 Posted January 17, 2022 Last I checked Belicheat showed us no quarter for 20 years. He ran the score up constantly. I also know Sean is well aware of that history. I don't feel an ounce of sympathy for Navy boy. He's got enough semi legitimate rings to keep him warm. Your AFCE dominance is over for good. 1 Quote

Hoodie should also do the right thing and walk away. https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/199512300buf.htm Bernie Kosar had a 100% completion percentage in that game. Quote

That late endzone shot to Knox off playaction on the first play of the drive followed immediately by the tackle eligible TD was a pretty serious FU. I was in a group text with some friends from high school and said the same thing. Quote
Sherlock Holmes Posted January 17, 2022 Posted January 17, 2022 (edited) McD should've slapped the Bildo into Belicheat's hand during post game handshakes...🤣 Edited January 17, 2022 by Sherlock Holmes 2 Quote

Richard Noggin Posted January 17, 2022 Posted January 17, 2022 (edited) 16 hours ago, wjag said: I think NFL coaches end of game persona should not be judged in the moment. Coaches hate losing. Coaches hate being embarrassed. But they are in a small fraternity with a very short shelf life for many. I think they respect each other. They know how much time and effort is expended each week to put that product on the field. We fans can't begin to appreciate the time, effort and stress they are under. And it's a billion times worse now with the internet and electronic media that is out there now judging your every facial expression. I strongly disagree with the bolded. Belichick (and Brady, because eff him) have shown to be both sore losers AND sore winners (used to run up the score relentlessly back in the day, plus their post-game lack of sportsmanship is well-documented). How the LEADER of a multi-billion dollar sports franchise conducts himself following wins AND losses matters tremendously to the culture surrounding the NFL. You just know their "alleged" legacy of subversion and "competitive advantage" has merit when they reveal themselves incapable of handling defeats with any modicum of class or maturity. They truly don't believe they should ever lose, based in part on their pervasive campaigns of finding every possible competitive edge, rules be damned. Toxic competitiveness is a thing. Which is why rules and regulations, and enforcement, are so essential. I should also stress: I think Belichick is the best defensive mind in NFL history, and truly does respect the sport on a macro-level. I generally find his curmudgeonly act to be amusing. But make no mistake, he's a ruthless doosh whose hatred for losing can rob the sport of its joy. Edited January 17, 2022 by Richard Noggin Quote
Chandler#81 Posted January 17, 2022 Posted January 17, 2022 12 hours ago, Nextmanup said: YES. I wrote about that in detail somewhere on this board last night, not sure where. BB totally minimized the loss best he could in his post game PC; Sean McDermott totally minimized the win "no big deal, just 1 game, more to do" in his PC... And their post-game "hand shake moment" was a virtual flyby in which BB MAYBE said "Congratulations" and keep walking...he never really stopped walking...and he looked away quickly. I would go so far to say THEY HATE EACH OTHER. GOOD! This is the stuff of rivalries. Well, yeah.. but what the camera didn’t show was Sean pissing on Bills’ leg as he walked past. So… 1 Quote
