Bill Not Talking

Coach Belichick refused to get into any detail over the importance of Sunday's game with the Chiefs during his press conference today.

He is well aware of the uphill battle the team will face if they lose and hope to host the AFC Championship game, if they even get to that point.

There are 11 games left in the season. The next three weeks will tell a great deal.

The Bill & Andy Show

The Pats and Chiefs game on Sunday night will feature a great matchup between head coaches.

Bill Belichick holds a 5-2 lead over Andy Reid, but four of those wins were from his days with the Eagles.

While coaching the Chiefs, Andy leads 2-1, including two recent blowouts.

Belichick does not want this on his record.

Odell Gets The Headlines

Giants WR Odell Beckham Jr is grabbing the headlines on the back page of the New York Post, but for all the wrong reasons.

His comments from an interview with ESPN seem to imply an issue he had with the coach's play calling and QB Eli Manning.

Their season is unraveling as they prepare to play the Eagle tomorrow night. A loss will leave them at 1-5 and little hope for the rest of the season.

Every Game Is Big Now

The Pats and Chiefs should be a great game on Sunday night. It will feature Tom Brady against Patrick MaHome who is piling up big offensive numbers.

The 5-0 Chiefs are playing very well. The 3-2 Pats need this game very badly. Their defense needs to step it up. If they get behind early, it could be a long night.

Fake Records

I find college football records and rankings to be very artificial. Teams are not as good as their record shows.

Every program schedules easy wins to pad their record. It happens at all levels of the NCAA and NAIA.

Football is a business at every school. People are concerned about how much it costs to field a competitive team at whatever level.

They want a winning team. There is no guaranteed that it might happen.

Odell's Style of Leadership

When the Giants overpaid WR Odell Beckham Jr they thought he would show leadership.

Apparently he thinks his comments to ESPN showed leadership. Most agree that it was wrong for him to air his issues in public.

The Giants lost again today in the final seconds to the Panthers, lowering their record to 1-4. Beckham has backed off some of his comments, but his words are out there.

He had a great game with 8 catches for 131 yards and one TD. He also threw a 57 yard TD pass to Shaquon Barkley.

Maybe he should be playing quarterback. He just hasn't mentioned it yet.

The Giants need to go 8-3 the rest of the way to finish 9-7 and have a remote chance at the playoffs.

Almost The Worst

When the offense scores 42 points, it's usually good enough to win. It wasn't for UMass today as they gave up 58 to South Florida and fell to 2-5.

The season is slowly slipping away as UMass just can't play four quarters of defensive football. The second half told the story of the game. They were outmatched by South Florida who increased their record to 5-0.

UMass continues to rank among the worst defenses of the 129 Division 1 schools.

Students Don't Support Their Team

The University of Alabama keeps winning college football championships, but now student fans are getting bored and not showing up to games.

Coach Nick Saban called them out for their lack of support. Former NFL QB Tim Tebow agreed with Saban on social media.

Alabama's problem is not unique. UMass has historically had poor support from students at games. Nothing ever changes.

Cheer For Adam

Colts kicker Adam Vinatieri spent ten years with the Pats before left in free agency to the Colts. The team didn't make much of an effort to keep him here.

He is now in his 13th season with Indianapolis where he continues to excel. He has made so many big kicks for both teams.

it will be a shame if he hears one boo tonight at Gillette Stadium. Anyone who does that has no clue of what he did here.

Fans can do whatever they want, but they would be ignorant if they don't applaud him.

Gronk's Costly Injury

Pats TE Rob Gronkowski is questionable for tomorrow night's game with an ankle injury. He played against the Dolphins with an issue and left in the second half.

There is no doubt he will be a last minute decision. The last thing he wants to do is to miss a game.

Any absences will impact his ability to earn the incentives in his contract.

Jets and Giants Going Down

Fans of the Jets and Giants must be wondering which team will have the worse record by the end of the season.

They are both off to a 1-3 start and need to get on a roll if they have any playoff hopes.

Can they make it at 9-7? To do that, they both need to go 8-4 the rest of the way. That might be too lofty of a goal at this time.

Just Another Frank Day

Pats fans saw Dolphins RB Frank Gore get 41 yards on 11 carries in his team's loss in Foxborough. It was just another day in his 15 season career.

He is the 4th all-time NFL rusher. Will he make it to the Hall of Fame?

He has longevity and durability on his side. Will that be held against him in the voting?
