But I think, you know, you burn as many bridges as he did throughout the NFL with the way he treated people for so long. I think he had a lot of people that were like, I would do anything not to have Bill Belichick in my building. And I think you saw all that kind of come to a pinnacle here. Interesting.
I think I'm more surprised that he took this job, right? I knew the NFL wasn't interested in Bill, but I guess I still thought there might be one team that would go, let's do it, right? That makes sense, whatever, blah, blah, blah. And I thought maybe Tampa would be that team with Jason Light being there who also worked in New England at one point.
And there was some tangible things I heard behind the scenes to think that there was some talk there. But Todd Bowles comes out. I mean, he says he's not retiring. Do that. Things obviously change on that front. But, yeah, I'm I think all in all surprised with the college thing. Again, here's my thing. The recruiting. Right. Talking. Having to be personable to kids and family. Right.
I think he's like, is he going to recruit? Again, he better recruit. You better not wait on other people. This is the NIL era, right? And you're North Carolina. You're a basketball school. So you can't just go, oh, I hope Mike Lombardi and other people in my staff will recruit. No.
Johnny, who's thinking about Ohio State, LSU, and North Carolina, at some point, he's going to want to talk to Bill Belichick and hear about it and hear him because he's going to go, wait, wait. Ohio State's offering me $3 million. The stadium's way cooler. It's a football school. I'm going to win the national championship. All that, blah, blah, blah. Yeah, I know Bill Belichick.
I heard of him when I was growing up, but what? Like what? So he's going to have to do that stuff, let alone the coaching hours, Stugatz. The brilliance of Belichick is his ability to grind film and come up with these creative game plans. In college football, he's going to have to be elementary for his standards.
He won't even get to show you his great wisdom because he's not going to have enough time to implement this with some of these kids on the college level.
You're safe. You're safe. Shula's safe. Shula can rest easy, who is also one that doesn't sound like he's the biggest fan of Bill Belichick.
most efficient yeah i'm not gonna say it's the best i feel like you know those early first year and a half with mike mcdaniel were pretty damn special and and the fact of the big plays the way they were executing the offense and all of that now not all that falls on two of course because people have caught up to the offense and all that and you know what we've said the last few weeks i think they've changed their philosophy a little bit into hey he's our franchise we're
We're paying them and we'll add more plays where we get the ball out of our hands quicker. They're a pain in the ass the way they play that way, right? A ball control pass offense, they can chew clock up. If you play zone, they will absolutely pick you apart. There's no doubt about that. And of course, then if you start to play man-to-man because you're worried about that,
They can still find ways to beat you down the field and find creative ways to get Tyreek and Waddle on the run. So it's damn good. That's for sure. The Dolphins are, you know, it's unfortunate he got hurt because you're a playoff caliber football team that's fighting for their life now just because of that situation.
I know you're going to say Bill's Lions, but Eagle Steelers is also pretty big. That's all I'm saying.
Yeah. Yeah. This just in. OK.
He's like, was that a question? Like Josh Allen is one of the greatest we've ever seen. Right. I mean, he's one of the greatest. Josh Allen is a first ballot Hall of Famer for for my money. I know he needs the hardware to go along with that. But Josh Allen's one of the best quarterbacks I've ever seen in my life. He's John Elway 30 years later.
And unfortunately, so far, the start of his career is the John Elway story where they just can't win the big game. And it's not because of John Elway. It's because of the rest of the team. And like so many times, John Elway went to the Super Bowl and lost it. Oh, John Elway can't win the Super Bowl.
And then the point was, it was like nobody could have brought those teams to the Super Bowl other than John Elway. That was it. That's where sometimes people drop the ball in the big picture of what's going on there. Allen's crazy, is insane. I wish we got that game too. The flexing stuff, Billy, has become very complicated. I don't really understand all of it.
They can protect certain games, CBS and Fox. So I don't know. I'm not complaining. Ours is pretty damn good. I'll take it. But yeah, that Bill's Lions game, I think it'll be a lot like you saw the Bills and the Rams last week. It's going to be a high-scoring game. I picked it to be 41-38, I believe. Neither one of these defenses will be able to stop the other.
The Bills' defense is not good, and they're definitely not good when McDermott gets put in the bind of you have to stop an equally good run game and pass game. See, he can come up with game plans to stop like, oh, if the team is like, let's say Miami, they're really good at throwing the football. I know they're creative running the football, but it's not like they maul you, right?
They're not going to maul you. They do it with creativity. So he can hedge on, okay, yeah, they might get a few good runs or blah, blah, blah, but we're going to play to stop the pass because we don't feel like they're just going to blow us off the ball game and the run game, right? The Rams can do that. The Lions can do that and the Bills can't play man to man.
So when teams start to run the ball, they try to play man to man and everybody runs by them. So they're in a tough bind. They're going to give up a lot of points this weekend. But with the injuries on the Lions and their defense and no big pass rushers on the edge, This is the kind of games Josh Allen can take over. So I expect this one to be awesome, Billy, to your point.
