that espn story about the split between kraft and BB over garappolo sure seemed legit. But otoh garappolo isn't all that either, even his team didn't trust him with time on the clock in last year's super bowl. Maybe BB really isn't that great a judge of talent ...great coach no doubt. Great GM? Its questionable. Its already been pointed out their weak drafts. I agree. His GM hat isn't all that great. That said, he picks players that, might not be great individually but fit the mold of his structure he wants his team to be. And he squeezes every drip out of them. He molded Brady to become what he became. The underdog who fights for everything and is determined to win even after Sunday. Belichick is the master of tbe hoard/spray and pray method of drafting Hoard as many future picks as possible,trade back occasionally,get more picks He has an average of 10 picks a year . He hits on 50% that's 5 hits 7 picks and its 3 picks hit.... Big difference

Gotta say Booger is so much better as a studio analyst than a side line commentator. Like night and day better. When you are better in the studio than in the booth They generally move you into the studio Back to you Joe well yeah of course. Just pointing out the polar opposite of the job he is doing

He doesn't need Trevor. He might as well trade for Garappolo back. Or draft a QB like Wilson or Trask and go from there. Set up his son to take over. Bills look like they might be a problem for a while though. As long as Allen stays healthy. that espn story about the split between kraft and BB over garappolo sure seemed legit. But otoh garappolo isn't all that either, even his team didn't trust him with time on the clock in last year's super bowl. Maybe BB really isn't that great a judge of talent ...great coach no doubt. Great GM? Its questionable. Its already been pointed out their weak drafts. Agree with the exception of having an eye for the "chip on the shoulder" types, the ones that will die on the field for themselves, team mates, fans, and family for 10 yrs. He also has proven to have a masterful "eye" for when to jettison players either for cost to benefit reasons or dwindling effort/skills.

Just watched a replay of that Dolphins / Raiders game. Fitzpatrick came in for the struggling rookie, and once again looked like the best backup ever. He's definitely not known as a clutch starter in big spots at the end of seasons, and has been jerked around his whole career - but what performance in that last quarter.

One of the smartest men to ever don an NFL uniform. Has the highest recorded wonderlic test score by an NFL prospect and has amassed a fortune in his long career despite usually being a backup or stand in placeholder. Has never thrown a team mate or coaching staff under the bus.

How is Tua, and also many other teammates, not on protocol - especially after the crazy celebration with that last seconds win?

I've never cared for the Dolphins, likely because years ago it was common to see NYers wearing their apparel and boasting how "their" team got the best of the Jets once again - only local NY Cowboy fans are worse than them. I was actually rooting for the Raiders, until Fitz came in and delivered pass after pass perfectly. I do wonder where he might end up next, and if the perceived QB shortage makes him a starter once again.

This corresponded to their great run in the early 70's. They have always been my second team.

But since you've always proved to be the better man here, I'll let you enjoy your Squish.

What other team has ever done this method - and using the all time blown save record holder, no less?

That's wild, the 2 biggest performances that I've seen lately with playoffs on the line, were Kamara's 6 TDs and Fitz' passing clinic - and now they're both out with this.
