MNF Game Thread Pats-Bills (1 Viewer)

[Hot Sauce Guy]

White hasn't sucked.  I am old enough to remember when Lawrence Maroney wasn't too bad either though, so ...

Corey Dilon was a delight to have rostered.

 

[Arodin]

If we're going that far back, Kevin Faulk was James White before there was James White...

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Tbey need to get it to McCoy in space.

 

[GroveDiesel]

Kelvin Benjamin is downright awful. Flat out lazy. Slow, undisciplined, lazy, and terrible hands.

 

[oddsbodkins]

How many 3rd downs will Anderson pass at least 5 yards short of the sticks tonight?

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

If we're going that far back, Kevin Faulk was James White before there was James White...

I had him on a few teams - my first PPR league, in fact. He was money. 

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Kelvin Benjamin is downright awful. Flat out lazy. Slow, undisciplined, lazy, and terrible hands.

He had that ball. He’s got size and range over Gillmore - and Gillmore has his back to the ball. I’m stunned he doesn’t make that catch. Just got bullied by a smaller dude. 

 

[Grigs Allmoon]

Gimmicks, and initial emotional boost are over. This is about to get ugly.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Barner looks like he’s running underwater. 

 

[ShamrockPride]

Crazy how a guy like Alexander can be irrelevant for a decade then just come out of nowhere like he has in his twilight.

 

[baymen]

Good night for Gostkowski owners.

 

[kyoun1e]

Having a hard time understanding how the Colts completely dismantled Buffalo, but NE having a very difficult time with this defense.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Thermos Thomas is the man. 

 

[GroveDiesel]

He had that ball. He’s got size and range over Gillmore - and Gillmore has his back to the ball. I’m stunned he doesn’t make that catch. Just got bullied by a smaller dude. 

Benjamin is just there to cash a paycheck. He clearly doesn't give a crap about football. He runs lazy terrible routes. He makes no effort to fight for the ball. He does nothing to help out his QB. He's just awful. If the Bills can't trade him, they should just cut him. He's worse than useless out there, he's a downright negative. 

 

[BoltNlava]

Thermos Thomas is the man. 

It's Thermostat Thomas ...duh

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

A 3rd down conversion?!? What wizardry is this??? 

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

It's Thermostat Thomas ...duh

Dammit autocorrect. I even corrected “thermos” the first time.  

 

[ShamrockPride]

So why wasn't that DPI?

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

2nd time he’s thrown behind Jones. 

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

So why wasn't that DPI?

Looked like it to me too. 

 

[GroveDiesel]

So why wasn't that DPI?

Was wondering the same thing. Receiver was clearly contacted while ball was in the air, even if the receiver clearly had no idea the ball was coming.

 

[SengerCJ]

Patriots missing a running game

 

[Hilts]

I want to see a spin-off series of these NFL cgi guys having a lovely day out on the water. 

 

[SengerCJ]

Who is Bush? Reggie Bush? Bush HW? Busch light? Busch ice?

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Buffalo should call a fake. 

 

[ShamrockPride]

OMFG how many times it has to be said, FGs DON'T BEAT THE PATRIOTS. The fact a division opponent doesn't get this yet is a fireable offense.

 

[GroveDiesel]

Jason Witten has taken too many hits to the head.

 

[GroveDiesel]

OMFG how many times it has to be said, FGs DON'T BEAT THE PATRIOTS. The fact a division opponent doesn't get this yet is a fireable offense.

Agreed.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Words escape me as to how much I loathe that 3rd down run. 

 

[pbandy1]

i miss the Texans Dolphins game

 

[Steeler]

I say this every week, but this announcing crew is the worst I have ever heard, just terrible.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

OMFG how many times it has to be said, FGs DON'T BEAT THE PATRIOTS. The fact a division opponent doesn't get this yet is a fireable offense.

Careful....you’re saying the same thing as Witten.  

 

[Cowboysfan8]

My streaming of the Patriots def isn't working out so good

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

i miss the Texans Dolphins game

 

 

[-X-]

Who is Bush? Reggie Bush? Bush HW? Busch light? Busch ice?

Everything Zen.  Everything Zen.  I don’t think so.

 

[Steeler]

Julian Edmunds... lol.

 

[pbandy1]

I say this every week, but this announcing crew is the worst I have ever heard, just terrible.

Witten seems to be disagreeing with Booger way more often

 

[ShamrockPride]

Eww. Chris Berman worship by ESPN. BRB changing the channel real quick.

 

[Max Power]

I say this every week, but this announcing crew is the worst I have ever heard, just terrible.

Boog called that spike though

 

[GroveDiesel]

Good thing the Bills kicked that FG!

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

He missed! 

 

[Rodrigo Duterte]

Jason Witten has taken too many hits to the head.

Funny you say that, I was coming in to say essentially the same thing.  I told myself to give it time but it's been half a season now and he's no better than when he started.  Still too uptight, babbling and nonsensical.  This crew is like a Triple A ball club.

 

[sho nuff]

I’m not a fan of Patterson at RB. 

Everyone who started Barner probably none too pleased with it neither.  

As a Michel owner...pretty happy with how little they are running the ball or trusting other backs.

Makes me feel good about his role when he returns.

 

[Steeler]

See you guys after halftime - haven't watched one of these MNF halftime shows all year... it's been great!

 

[tkrull]

Jason Witten has taken too many hits to the head.

Yeah, good for him that he got out and got paid, but he's horrible at this.

 

[Mr. Brownstone]

MNF with all the relevant halftime acts this year...

 

[the rover]

Guess Bush was available since the summer fair circuit ended.

 

[tkrull]

Eww. Chris Berman worship by ESPN. BRB changing the channel real quick.

Family Guy, TBS, you're welcome.

 

[Mr. Brownstone]

Guess Bush was available since the summer fair circuit ended.

Only because Seven Mary Three was unavailable.

 

[Mr. Irrelevant]

Funny you say that, I was coming in to say essentially the same thing.  I told myself to give it time but it's been half a season now and he's no better than when he started.  Still too uptight, babbling and nonsensical.  This crew is like a Triple A ball club.

That may be too generous.

If I’m reading right, ESPN’s current MNF contract is costing them $1.9 billion a year through 2021. 

Add in production and related costs and it’s a cool $2B, at least. 

Two BILLION dollars a YEAR, and this is the broadcast crew they’ve chosen to show off that asset. 

That’s like buying a McLaren P1 and taking it to Maaco for a paint job.
