“He saw something in Jordan that nobody else saw and pulled the trigger knowing that it was going to upset Aaron Rodgers.”

What did Brian Gutekunst know was inside Jordan Love?

"Are we trying to be great or do we want be average? We want to be the best that’s ever done it and we want to win a Super Bowl."

Always love chatting with the man who knows #Packers QB Jordan Love best.

Jordan Love is in the MVP conversation. Where specifically has his game taken a jump in Year 3 as the starter? What drives him? We chat again with the coach who knows him best.

Watching the Philadelphia Eagles offense is somehow more painful than it was before. This point, you’ve gotta go full 2005 Ellicottville Eagles and run Saquon/Hurts 50x like it’s a high school game. Don’t get asking a QB to do stuff he’s obv struggling with right now.

Sean McDermott stayed aggressive.

It paid off.

Here’s our column on the state of the AFC, with a closer look at the #Bills and #Texans. Both clubs took Super Bowl hopefuls out to pasture. www.golongtd.com/p/the-afc-is...
The AFC is WIDE OPEN: Choose your fighter...
Ding, dong. The king is dead... at least in 2025. Week 14 brings clarity on who just may seize this opportunity.

Ding dong, the king is dead. At least in 2025, the AFC is WIDE OPEN. So... who'll seize this opportunity? Week 14 brought some clarity. Josh Allen went psycho mode (again) and the #Texans hellacious defense kicked ass.

Choose your fighter.

These are great. As an addition, I'll offer at least one sports example and say that if you're an NFL fan who's not subscribing to @tydunne.bsky.social and Go Long, get on that today. www.golongtd.com

Jordan Love -> Christian Watson. TD. No need to overthink the whole "Does Green Bay have a No. 1?" anymore. He's been chewing up 1 on 1's and spitting them out.

Hey, it’s time for the latest rendition of #Packers-#Bears.

Value of Jackson Hawes right there, too. Brings such unpredictability as the third tight end. Bills can run. Bills can pass. Leaks free for the score.

He's a wild man.

License to Kill: Jackson Hawes infusing Buffalo Bills (and the NFL) with a 'Full Send Mindset'
The great offensive innovation of 2025 is a man who loves cliff jumping off the field and pile-driving defenders on it. Meet the Buffalo Bills rookie tight end.

Fourth and goal and Sean McDermott goes for the kill.

What a metamorphosis these last couple years. Always the smart thing to do with the best quarterback in the game. Bills taking these 2025 Bengals out to pasture.
December 7, 2025 at 8:55 PM
And now, it's alllll coming up Brandon Beane.

Jordan Phillips — on his 78th tour through Orchard Park — deflects a pass for *another* interception. What about that Bills defense?
December 7, 2025 at 8:46 PM
Holy hell.

What an individual effort by Christian Benford. Worth every penny.

Loved chatting with him back in t-camp: www.golongtd.com/p/i-need-thi...
'I need this:' Christian Benford's star turn is here
He escaped West Baltimore, had a son, made an NFL roster, earned a massive contract extension. And yet? The Buffalo Bills' No. 1 corner is doing everything in his power to stay in the same mind frame.

Joe Burrow's accuracy in this snow is absurd. He's back, and he's destroying just about everything in his path.

Why “reveal” on a CFP “reveal,” when your crew can bloviate for a while?

There’s gotta be like seven Kirk Herbstreits.

Somehow, they’ve gotten worse.

I really miss the days of Frank Caliendo offending people.
Holy crap NFL pregame shows are terrible.

"People want to say that’s ‘cocky.’ and that’s fine. It is! But you know what? The good ones are cocky. You don’t think Dan Marino was cocky? You don’t think John Elway was cocky? You don’t think Tom Brady was cocky?"

Always love talking Baker with Scot McCloughan: www.golongtd.com/p/baker-mayf...
Baker Mayfield is America's Quarterback
Nobody in the NFL is like him. "Bake" represents the sport at its purest, from talking shit to holding grudges to going full Favre in the fourth quarter. And, oh, what happened in Cleveland anyway?
