Oakland is 1 spot below at 31. And who coached Oakland's special teams this year ? Bobby April.

We need to try out all the Jimmy Johnson assistants from the Cowboys glory days.

Why not ? He did lead the Jets to two consecutive AFC championships ...

Some of my favorite posters due to the high quality discussions they elicited: Merle Haggard Dr Zauis (I forget if he was related to Merle) Joe W (the "beacon of clarity") Paintmyhouse

An offseason of more rehab might allow someone to be able to run better . But isn't the main problem the fact that the read option has now gone the way of the wildcat? Can Griffin be an effective pocket passer? I don't think he can.

Did Leodis muff the kickoff ? Or did he foolishly try to run it back past the 20 and then subsequently fumble the ball?

Ah ok. I had recalled reading somewhere that they had it. Now I see its actually the Texans. Wow. From being a Super Bowl contender to dead last. Yikes.

Can a new coach build a team around RG3? Or is he a flawed QB that was not worth trading away your future for? The Rams are getting the first overall pick in the 2014 draft now thanks to the trade. Ouch.

How well did Joe Gibbs do when he came back for a second stint after an extended absence from coaching? Not so hot. Cowher was not as a accomplished or innovative coach as Gibbs . So no thanks.

It's interesting how a whole bunch of people thought that things were looking up for Shanahan last season because he had found a "franchise " Qb. Now , by all accounts , he is not going to be back in Washington next season after finishing at 3-13 (projected ).

He has put up big numbers with a revolving door qb situation. That's pretty impressive.

Yes. If you watch the film, you should see that Fitz was getting rid of the ball pretty quickly because the protection wasn't that good.

I find it quite interesting how a number folks like to make these excuses for their QB of the month / year. Yet, when the same problems plague other QBs (e.g., Fitz) ,they just go out and say "he sucks. lets get rid of him" . I'm not a Fitz fan mind you. But seems like we have some double standards.

What was good about his rookie year??? His completion rate was less than 60% . A TD to INT ratio that is below 1. And his QB Rating was only in the 70s. Thats pretty mediocre. GP CMP ATT CMP% YDS AVG TD LNG INT FUM QBR RAT 16 282 484 58.3 3,294 6.81 12 80 13 5 50.4 76.1

All I know is that we need to get rid of Fred based on that other thread someone started ...

Its really simple. Its good because of EJ's big hands.

Kaepernick's mind blowing stats for 2013 are below. He is averaging a 57.8 % completion rate and 192.7 yards/game. San Fran is not really winning games because of his awesome play. The defense keeps them competitive.

Isn't Trent really tough to stop in Madden?

Yup. OL is a big problem on Indy right now. Even Luck is running for his life at times.

Mike Vick as a QB is nowhere near the elite level talent that Barry was as an RB.

I watched the game and saw that . It does look like he stood there intentionally...

The Advanced NFL Stats site did a study on this. They said that in about 30% of all overtime losses in their sample , the losing team never got to touch the ball. That is a lot. http://www.advancednflstats.com/2008/10/how-important-is-coin-flip-in-ot.html

Matt Flynn : 10 of 20 139 yards 1 int. 'nough said .

It's not a good sign though that this is already the second time he has been released by the QB needy Raiders.

I agree . The new rules are pretty straightforward. Not sure why there are a lot of folks out there complaining about them. Its a lot fairer than having a team win based on winning the coin toss and then kicking a FG.
