  1. To be honest I didn't know Marv was pulling the GM/Coach combination bullshit. That alone gives him a lot more credit in my book. You're right, he's survived two eras and had some quality talent on his squads throughout the years. Seems like Marv the GM is more effective than Marv the coach.

    Burfict is definitely the one of the dirtiest players of all-time, but he's very talented, too. I'd argue he's a top 8 all-around LB... not to mention, he's 27. It seems like the dude has been in the league at least 8 years 

  2. I appreciate the knowledge you provide on the Marv front. However, I will always see him as a joke, and there really isn't any changing that. Sure, while he isn't solely responsible for his "perfect" playoff record, Marv-led teams are among the most undisciplined in the league and simply cannot handle adversity. I have no idea what that man has done to keep his job for so long (also, I find it hard to give him a point for "not fucking up a defense with generational talent")

  3. To clarify my earlier comments, I think the call was correct as far as the rule goes. I disagree with the rules and believe it should've been a catch, but then again I thought Dez Caught It, which he allegedly didn't, so clearly I know nothing. 

    A victory is a victory, though, and going from the #3 seed to the #1 seed was huge. The Patriots are remarkably banged up this year, and missing that bye week in the playoffs would be a massive blow to their Super Bowl chances.

    That being said, I don't think next week's game against Buffalo is a gimme. Our defense has looked like hot garbage with Van Noy out so it could see Tyrod/McCoy carving up the front 7 with ease

  4. I had my doubts about this matchup before I realized how injured the Patriots were. Missing 3 key starters in the front 7 is going to hurt big time, especially when attempting to stop LeVeon Bell. I think the Patriots will devote most of the defensive attention to Antonio Brown and let Bell run wild between the 20's. He might pile up 200 yards but I expect more of the same boring defense that prevents the big play and aims to allow field goals only.

    Of course, the Steelers have the talent to rip off many big plays. We shall see

     

  5. Nah, I wish they played in Boston. Would make getting to games a hell of a lot easier for me. They play in Foxboro, Mass. 

    recently the patriots haven't been unbeatable at home. They lost their first 2 out of their first 3 home games (and should've lost all 3) the crowd certainly isn't competing for world records, but it isn't really a factor, either.
