Jarrett Stidham is my company's owner's son. Got offered if I want to go Sunday ... would consider it if it was in NE but I'm not flying cross country on a whim.
Besides, we're playing poker Saturday night.

Stidham FWIW was considered a bum as a Patriot backup a few years ago. Poor work ethic, more focused on keeping his spoiled and overdramatic wife happy with her Mary Kaye and multilevel marketing schemes. Kind of guy who was late for team stuff because of his personal life. Maybe he has matured since? Hasn’t thrown an NFL pass in two years in any case.

IIRC his father in law was the Houston Rockets' CEO and owns the company that operates a bunch of NBA-level arenas, so he's set for life.
Guess we'll see Sunday. I'm not at all excited about seeing the Pats back in the SB. I know two N'Winglin guys who legit feed off each other who are like, "What, it's what we do ... clearly Maye is the MVP ... we were an elite team the last 2 years just didn't get elite results ..."

When the patriots went 14-3 against the worst schedule ever, everybody was entitled to question them (though their huge point differential might have been taken as sign of things to come.)

Now, after Drake Maye fumbled 6 times in two playoff games and they still won both games by double digits, maybe it’s time to believe that this is actually a very good team.
Let’s goooo!
 
And speaking of the AFC East, can we stop the hand wringing over Mcdermott? I was shocked when I heard that Josh Allen is 0-7 in overtime games. But that means Mcdermott is also 0-7. That seems like a big deal to me. There's no questioning Allen's talent, so after squandering the first half of his career, I think you have to make a change.

The problem to me isn't them firing McDermott. McDermott is not responsible for the 53 man roster assembled for him. That roster 1 to 53 was not a playoff caliber roster, and yet the man responsible for that roster keeps his job and looks for the new head coach. That's a problem

Vrabel ostensibly has a quasi-GM above him, but there is no one who believes the coach wasn’t in charge of this year’s draft, free agency, etc.

In his first year.

Why didn’t McDermott have that same clout after 9 years?

I suspect he shared responsibility for Buffalo’s bad drafts and trades with Beane. At minimum, he should’ve been forcefully arguing for different moves if he didn’t like what they were doing.

We aren't saying you couldn't hold McDermott responsible, we are saying the rot started with Brandon Beane. How did he keep his job?

I’ll confess, I’ve never paid much attention to the buffalo front office. But after seeing that press conference today (and especially the comment about Keon Coleman) it seems this owner may be a knob. Beane too.
 
Long time bills fan and calling Terry Pegula "a knob" I enjoyed. When the Pegula's first bought the Bills we saw and heard from his wife Kim just as much if not more than from Terry. Once the bills got good Terry started taking center stage over Kim. Neither of them seem to know much about the game but IMO Kim seemed more invested than Terry in the beginning. I like Brandon Beane and like McDermott sad either of them got fired. That 17 year playoff drought before them was worse than losing in the playoffs. I still think Keon Colman has more potential than Xavier Worthy, still need a better deep threat. Maybe one who wont get the ball ripped out of his hands.

Terry Pegula​

 
Recent history Bill hater... I think the narrative that Beane hasn't surrounded Allen with enough talent is a bit overblown -- not completely false, but definitely overblown. I also think Allen is getting let off the hook for the loss at lot more than he should be.
 
Terry Pegula is a bumbling twat, he should never speak. Every time he talks people get pissed because of the stupidity that comes out of his face hole. Write the checks and get the fuck out of everyone's way.
 
Everyone in this town knows Allen played like balls, not sure who's letting him off the hook, it certainly isn't us.

10 teams are out at this point, mostly because their QBs played like balls in that one.
Allen was the damn Supernovaman hero of the Jags game for you guys.
These January games are are just plain fuckin' hard to win.

Was talking more national sports media, at least what I heard. Small sample size though.

One thing I'll give Pegula credit for is not making the new stadium a dome, unlike dipshit nepo baby Clark Hunt.
 
The whole world except north east is rooting for Denver.

Patriots get a cakewalk to the SB, they literally would’ve lost to any other playoff team last week.

Maye was so bad last week, law of averages says he can’t be as bad this game.
 
And don’t give me point differential @buffalojim.

Almost all of it comes from 2-3 blowouts. I won’t take away all their close wins away, because it’s hard to win that many close games.

But they aren’t remotely good as their record. Will be scary though if they hold this dfs together while maye grows.

I'll take your word for it dude, I barely like football. I watch the Bills, sometimes.

There’s like 15 pairs of users I mix up sometimes.

I think you two are just 2 of the most common posters from the region, so someone often thinks of one of you when thinking northeast/New England.

Edit - I don’t actually confuse y’all, but I could see it.

You should google the Broncos strength of schedule as well. I’ll wait here.

Oh, it’s pretty weak, just like that excuse that the patriots are a good team this year.

Was talking about the patriots and their path to SB, but ummmmm, okay?

If you simply use win % (not the greatest SoS indicator), patriots had the easiest, Denver 2nd easiest. That’s pretty misleading though. As Denver is within .010 of the next team, .070 from the average schedule. Patriots were .051 from the next team (Denver). Meaning the patriots were in a literal league of their own with SoS.

Advanced SoS stats show Denver as 3rd easiest, 8th easiest, 17th easiest, etc. dependent on how you use it. Patriots? The easiest schedule in every single possible category.

Edit - took a second look. Pro football reference advanced stats shows NE as having a historically easy schedule. Literally every team ever with a schedule as easy made playoffs (I think almost every one of them was a top seed too). Denver’s didn’t stand out in anyway. Not a Denver fan at all btw, just facts.
