[@sardella19]

he went from most hated coach to most loved analyst. so crazy

@ most hated coach by who? You do realize he’s arguably the greatest coach of all time right? You think his players hated his strict management more than they loved winning?

[@sardella19]

@@AlexJones4Prez by the rest of the league/fans? maybe hate is a strong word..yes a lot of players have come out and said playing for the Patriots was not 'fun' and alot of them aside from the core were in and out to win a ship

I don't like the NFL taking control of a game, while in biz with gambling partners. You can't have our trust.

[@JohnSmith-tk7nt]

It is what it is at this point. The nfl is no different than the WWE now. Just enjoy the show and don't take it too seriously. I agree with you, I think it kills the game I loved but like I said it is what it is now

[@usaid1234]

@@JohnSmith-tk7nt I completely disagree. One is purposely scripted and has live actors, the other is a sport that is not scripted and anyone has a chance to win the championship. Both are made to entertain but in completely different ways. Everyone knows the outcome of WWE is already written down, with NFL teams its not. So i agree with the OP that NFL shouldn't be in business with gambling partners.

[@dallassoukup5199]

question for Bill - on 4th and mid from midfield, why will teams take a timeout instead of the delay of game penalty if they're just going to punt?

[@stephanea5364]

The most important problem is bad football, lack of discipline, lack of understanding, stupid mistakes over and over and it's almost every team that malke bonehead decisions. That's why you have two or three really great teams and the rest is hit or miss

[@VisionGod4Life]

I love coach but I hated the Patriots lol Especilly getting Moss. That was literally cheating but letting us get D Henry is the same. Hopefully we get this ring tho

[@WordsMatter1982]

That was "the Raiders were trash and league was too slow to realize that Randy was sandbagging on the Raiders due to them being trash."

[@Ryan-ys2bq]

problem was the Pats didn't get the ring with Moss

[@sintier]

Another thing I think they should find a compromise on the size of the football between college and pro. Make the college ball slightly larger and the pro ball slightly smaller. Anything that helps ease the transition between college an pro will lead to a better and more entertaining product on the field.

[@joewestfall9682]

Players shouldn't be getting ejected at this level of the game for playing ball. 15 yard penalty sure ,fined maybe, not ejection.

[@rasik7000]

Imagine Bill coaching this ravens team..

[@Tom-V]

He should not have been ejected.

[@tiggetty]

It's a clear cut case of headhunting. Not ejecting him for that hit would not have been consistent with the league's rule changes in teh last decade.

[@swiiishgin1515]

​@@tiggetty we used to watch highlight vhs tapes of those hits before we went out to play on Friday nights. thats football baby, they arent forcing anybody to be out there against their will

[@patrousseau1828]

lions fan, I think there might be a little bit of "prior" with the call here. teams tee it up to the ref's as well. with the NFL chiming in immediately after the play with the quick hook, it tells me Branch may have been "targeted" himself.

[@WillyPDX94]

Belichick totally misses the real point. It's not that the rules are inconsistent. It's that the officials are totally inconsistent. Changing the rules won't change the problems with inconsistent calls by officials. THAT'S where the focus should be.

[@georgepap8512]

You are the one that misses the point. Inconsistent rules leads to inconsistent calls plain and simple. Every single year a rule gets some minor adjustment that completely changes how a game has to be called. The roughing the passer has been a shitshow. 10 years ago going low was an automatic flag then after a couple of years the started tweaking the rule. 3 years ago landed on the QB or even coming near him was an automatic flag now you have minor adjustments.

[@surfingkansas]

[@guarro54]

Reply definitely needs to go to the college way.

[@snow3017]

The "youngest team in the league" is such a BS stat. The avg age of teams is under 2 years difference between the youngest and the oldest. Packers are the youngest (32nd) at 25y7m old; Tenn is at #19 in the list and exactly 1 year older. Carolina is second oldest, cle is 4th. In fact, the youngest 16 teams are far better than the oldest 16 teams as a group. It seems like one of those stats people want to point to for excuses for regular stupid plays by a team more than anything.

With all do respect, I fear the idea of making a unified ruleset for NFL/College football targeting. I do not want these NFL refs being able to eject players, they can barely call a game consistently as it is, I don't want them getting even more power to impact a game.

[@florida1289]

Removing the road teams best player is never a good thing. Luckily for Detroit they're so loaded they have at a minimum 5 best players on defense. And that game was a blowout. Love is starting to become the biggest garbage time stat padder in the NFL...Jordan Love is the new Derek Carr in that regard.

[@CrocodileWhispers]

Branch deserved the ejection. He put his hands down and put his helmet into the players helmet. He didn't wrap up and that technique choice was a deliberate action with malice.

Targeting is the dumbest rule. Gives refs too much power.

Instead of New York how about the opposing coach making the ejection call. If it really wasn't a target, call the unsportsmanlike, the league can fine but if the other coach feels it was football, move on.

The opposing coach will always want the player ejected since it gives his team a better chance at winning. That's a bad idea
