Surely tomorrows game at Foxboro will be at least 50% Bills fans correct?

Worst thing we can do is win at this point. I bet BB asks to be fired before he passes Reeves and Fisher for the all time loss record.

I think Harbaugh is the perfect guy to give the keys with the #1 overall pick. The franchise is branded around being the villains. Just too perfect. Hes getting suspended for half the season next year the very minimum. The last time we had a nice guy coach it was a disaster and Carroll could be headed for Canton as well as Belichick.

Ya, the NCAA is all over Jim Harbaugh. I wonder if he's had enough. The Bears would seem to make sense for him too.

Harbaugh was my 2nd favorite player as a kid after Bledsoe.

The 95 Colts were a fun team.

We're gonna win tomorrow and it's gonna be mindblowing.

Watch.

It's gonna happen.

It just feels like *that* type of game.

Tank talk on 98.5 and the narrative is that they’re not making the playoffs anyway, so Sunday’s win against Buffalo hurts more than it helps in terms of draft position.

As bad as it looked against Dallas and New Orleans, I don’t think it was ever realistic to expect one or two wins. They’re bound to win some games as the schedule softens against teams like the Colts, Giants, Commanders, and Broncos.

There are a lot of flawed teams, and if they somehow beat Miami, the “path talk” is back on. Miami is favored by 9.5 coming off a loss.

If they lose and you’re looking at 2-6, that’s a deep hole to climb out of.

Aside from the Zolak & Bertrand show, I f***ing hate that station.

There are definitely some bad teams on the Patriots’ schedule. They could win them all, lose them all, or who knows…

I’m certainly not expecting a playoff appearance from this team. And even if they get there - then what?

The entire front office needs to be reshuffled and retooled. My only question is does Kraft have the huevos to do what needs to be done and take player-personnel duties away from Belichick? That will be more important than anything that happens on the field this season.

Am I the only one left from the Bruins Board in the Survivor Pool?

If so, I'll start posting my picks for your feedback/recommendations.

Still clean through 7 weeks, although I lucked out on that Browns pick this week....

Chase Winovich lives on planet zippy but is a fun interview. Not surprising at all he's pulling the plug on football.

If they had a dedicated gm who knew what he was doing, they'd probably make some moves. Bill is too busy coaching. He'll make a call or 2 after practice to see if any DBs are available.

It's embarrassing. f***ing embarrassing. If they picked up Young and pair him with Judon next year? That would of been a Starr of a good defensive foundation.

Instead? Crickets.
