In my eyes, it was a scheme issue. The Bills should have kept more blockers in to protect or design super quick patterns. I’m no football coach, but I think the problem is that the Bills can’t make you pay “fast” when seven are coming. Needed, big fast slot guy. I wanted Duke Williams. I would’ve loved Duke on that last play. All due respect to John Brown. Maybe I over value Duke. 5 hours ago, nfreeman said: I love this guy. Kid’s fun.

Set up some screens or quick slants or anything other than letting him drop back and get harassed Know what else you do? Run the ball! They march down the field running the ball on one series, get to the red zone, then start passing again. Never went back to the heavy run offense again. I was thinking, here we go, they're just going to run all day, and it's a great idea because the Ravens couldn't stop it, but then heavy pass the rest of the game which wasn't working at all. 1

When they are simply just a slight ballsy move that is moderately controversial only to meek feelings.

According to The Athletic, the eight-minute video shows a "direct view" of the Bengals sideline and keeps its focus there the entire time, which seems to contradict what the Patriots said in their statement. Although New England admitted that the team's video crew "inappropriately filmed the field from the press box," the Patriots also added that "the sole purpose of the filming was to provide an illustration of an advance scout at work on the road." If that was the sole purpose of the video, it's hard to imagine why they would need eight straight minutes of film from the Bengals sideline. If they were making a documentary like they said, they could have simply asked the Bengals to shoot the footage for them. Instead, they kept both the Bengals AND the NFL out of the loop when they made the decision to shoot the video.
Doohicksie Posted December 10, 2019 Report Posted December 10, 2019 The Pats simply need to be deemed ineligible for postseason play for a year or two, like they do in the NCAA.
Drunkard Posted December 10, 2019 Report Posted December 10, 2019 Belichick should be banned from the NFL for life or at least for a full season the way Sean Payton did. It will never happen though because the NFL doesn't want to tarnish the last 20 years of tainted game/season results. I'm just glad I no longer spend money on their product. How many times can they get caught before the league stops letting them get away with it?

SwampD Posted December 11, 2019 Report Posted December 11, 2019 Wasn’t there a story about the Bills not letting a film crew watch their pregame earlier this year? I guess they were justified.

There's not even a close second. Fair deuce. The story that's since emerged makes it sound pretty shady. I did enjoy the take of contrarian media types who theorized that this was concocted by Belichick to motivate his team ("us against the world!"). I think that this is overblown. I mean, I hate that team -- and that dynamic duo -- as much as I can. But they are the best of all time. I like it! I also enjoyed how HEATED he got when ... the Ravens? ... had too many players in the huddle but were allowed to avoid the penalty by calling a timeout (something that is not supposed to happen).
