Success Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 I'm completely focused on the playoffs, and nothing matters (really) until we win the Super Bowl. But I can chew gum & walk at the same time. I can still love that we just ended the Pats season for the 2nd year in a row, and won 6 out of the last 7, with the only loss being in hurricane-force winds. I can love their salty online comments about how "the Bills will just choke to KC again." I can love that they're stuck in the purgatory we had for years - not bad enough to get a high draft pick, not good enough to do anything meaningful. I love, love, love that we have flipped the script w/ that team. And I expect it to continue for a long time. He who laughs last, and all of that.... 4 2 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SageAgainstTheMachine Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 I wanted the Dolphins and Steelers to lose so that we could beat them while they got into the playoffs through the backdoor, knowing they'd lose to us again. 2 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John from Riverside Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 I’m wondering if Belichick made another trip over to the bills locker room to congratulate Josh Allen? He seems to be a definite fan of him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the emergence of the petulant dolphins and the media making them out to be the greatest team of all time, I’ve kinda gone stale on my hate of NE. I only have so much hate and right now it’s been focused on Miami pretty much all season. now that’s not to say I don’t like beating NE, especially to end their season. But beating Miami would be so much sweeter…right now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammy Watkins' Rib Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 The Patriots have a serious problem. The problem being the number of good vet QB’s that are on the market for the Jets and Dolphins to pick up this off-season. Once that happens the Pats will be relegated to the AFC East basement for years to come. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But beating Miami would be so much sweeter…right now. I get that. Miami is the OLD nemesis, for me. I started watching the Bills in the '80s, and they were the hated team. But the Pats really took their place, and I'd be surprised if that changed for me. I never imagined anything like the run they had against the Bills when I started being a sports fan. It gives me incredible satisfaction to keep beating that team, especially w/ Belichick at the helm. He's the greatest coach in history, and he can't do a thing to stop JA and this team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn’t he say for the media to pump the breaks on him being a pro bowler back in 20 and then when he got blown out a reporter asked him about his comments and he got defensive?

I guess part of it is I expect to best NE. We are clearly the better team over the last 7 matchups. Only thing that can equalize both teams is a crazy wind game. Dolphins are actually competitive and can play us tough. That’s what makes me nervous. And I’m in my thirties. I didn’t have to deal with the dolphins of old as I was too young or not born yet.

clayboy54 Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 I don’t know about Belichick being the greatest coach of all-time. He absolutely is the greatest NFL football historian of all-time. A lot can be learned from history, especially when you have the GOAT as your QB. His respect for the game is enormous but his lack of any social skills have hurt his stature. Belichick had his run in the limelight but maybe it’s time to hang up the cleats. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just want Lamar to go to Carolina or something, would rather not see him on the field with Hill and Waddle. Baker, Garoppolo, even Brady and Rodgers can go wherever they want, they aren't scary.

But say you are correct and they bring back Brady or something crazy, they still are far behind the Jets and Dolphins in terms of overall talent on the roster . That is my thinking. As long as the Jets and Dolphins make an upgrade at QB it won’t matter what upgrade the Patriots make. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
