Oh Bill absolutely loved everything about that game.  He is as old school as it gets in the modern NFL and he was probably licking his chops when he read the weather report earlier in the day.  The question I find myself asking is, if it weren't for the crazy snowy/windy weather they had, would the Patriots still have won the game? I think it's fair to ask.  Personally I still think the Bills are better, call me crazy.

Yeah you certainly make some very good points. I’m not sure I fully agree but well said. I still think quarterbacks dictate most teams and the Bills QB is far better than the Patriots. I believe they play each other again coming up here in a couple weeks, so this should be a fun rematch! It’s just too bad that the bills don’t have a decent RB. That’s killing them !

The problem with the Bills is the running game on both sides of the ball, they could not stop the run even when they knew the Patriots were going to run all game and it is no like the Patriots have any star RB, and if to this we add they cannot run the ball either then they have problems winning the time of possession, which is a huge disadvantage at the end of the game.

Now the weather was extreme and it benefited the Patriots so the next game should be closer, but that is not their problem right now, the Bills are facing The Bucs this week and if they lose then they will be 7-6 and out of the playoffs with four weeks remaining, so they will have no other option but to win at NE, and the pressure to play well under those circumstances can be enough to reduce their performance just enough for Belichick to pull another win over them.

I dislocated my shoulder, put it back in and went to bed at about 7pm ( I usually crashed at midnight at that time) and woke up the next morning yawned and stretched and it fell out of the socket again! I didn't need coffee to wake up that morning I'll tell you! I put it back in and went to work (Marine at the time).

Finally 3 years later of getting sick of it falling out of the socket I had a putty platt done on it. Never missed a day from it except for the surgery recovery time.

As long as the harness keeps the shoulder from moving out of the socket the arm should be fine. Tendons shrink back extremely fast. My socket was damaged and thats why it kept falling out and had to have surgery.

I had a big toes that was dislocated that the doc told me was only fractured and I told him it was dislocated I know exactly what that feels like and he ignored me and splinted it and told me to come back in a month. I walked on a dislocated toe for a month and went back and told him it was still dislocated and that time he  x-rayed it from the side instead off just the top and said "damn your right" and tried to pop it back in but by then the tendons had shrink so much he and 2 other guys could not pull it back into place. I learned the hard way not to trust the VA doctors and that tendons shrink fast in that one episode and have a screw in my big toe to this day because of that.



I benched Matheson.

Was hoping to have him this game without cook. It would have been huge for my team.

Ouch!  Glad you got that sorted, it makes me sick those hacks are protected by the industry.


Sum bitch!

Steelers have no clue how to protect the run.

Some really sad new today, woke up checking the daily sports news (and seeing that I lost money by foolishly betting on Pittsburg lol) and saw that Demaryius Thomas has passed away at the age of 33. First Vincent Jackson now Thomas, two guys in their 30’s..just super sad.  Especially being that both were very good people.  Did a lot for their communities/charity etc.  RIP to them both.

You would have to win by 18 points or more, otherwise Taco owns the total points tiebreaker.

No, has absolutely nothing to do with vaccines (and on a side note that sounds like a load of bs with the enlarged heart deal). Vincent Jackson died of a combo of alcoholism and CTE. The brain damage from football really messed him up, made him do very odd things (passed in a hotel few miles from home). Thomas is believed to have passed due to seizure/epilepsy issues he had been having. The question there is if CTE had anything to do with it, which I believe is very possible. That’s the sad thing when it comes to football is how awful it is for your brain. Having played a bit and as a running back I used to take countless blows to the head. Got my “bell rung” (black out and see what looks like a lightning bolt shooting across the blackness) many times. In my opinion tackle football should be banned for kids and possibly even through high school. A lot of my good buddies played 4 years of college ball and a little pro, and they’ve told me recently they know they have CTE (mood swings, forgetfulness etc). I really worry about them.  The other things is too that the NFL keeps allowing players who have clear signs of CTE/mental health issues like Everson Griffen to keep playing which is just heartbreaking  ( https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.marca.com/en/nfl/minnesota-vikings/2021/11/24/619e6ad3e2704e877a8b4595.html ).

Debo ended up having a quite (for him) afternoon. What a nail-biter win for the 9ers, though.  I called at the end of the third quarter that they were going to blow that lead.  I have texts to a buddy to prove it. 

Shanahan is a great play caller, but he sux at clock management.  He starts thinking about it way too late in the game.  Nice TD by Aiyuk to end it.

It appears the Bills made a show of it and forced OT.
