  1. No way Harvin is looking for a huge deal and I don't think the Vikings want any thing less than a second rounder.
  2. Bring him in for camp not a bad guy to take a chance on.
  3. Harvin was a MVP candidate till he got hurt, Would be a very interesting deal come the off-season.
  4. Could be a flex DT/DE. Can play DT in 4-3 and be flanked out at DE in heavier 3-4 formations. I don't think he will make the team but its at least possible, good move for the Bills to IR him, give him proper recovery time and a chance at least.
  5. Why did we let this guy go again? Bills really do need to overhaul their strength and conditioning or at least do something to find a way to turn around the injury bug that has plagued this team for years. The NFL is such a battle of attrition and its hard to win when you aren't healthy. Its been a big reason why the Bills haven't had success in recent years.
  6. Still not a bad position to be in, you got to figure if Fitz restructures that frees up anywhere from 5-10 million if they cut him that still has to free some space. I also think they could have some cuts on the roster that could free up more space like Kelsay or B.Smith. Overall I don't think the Bills are going to be big spenders but resigning Levitre and Byrd would help a lot.
  7. David Nelson is a great security blanket kind of like a great tightend in the slot. Was a big loss last year, he bails Fitz out a lot.
  8. Smart move, I think they are going to get some cap room (5-7 million) and have some competition at QB either a draft choice or vet. I like Fitz I think that he was hung out to dry by Chan's schemes and a horrendous defense. Blame Fitz for some of the loses but we lost multiple close games (Titans and 2nd Pats* game come to mind) when the offense put up over 30 points. Had the defense taken the step up we thought it would I think we would have seen a much better record. Yeah Fitz stunk at times and we need another QB for the future but I think Fitz could be a good mentor to a young guy or be better than a trade or free agent type (Or at least provide competition)
  9. My point is its a 10 minute drive from Hoboken to Metlife. Hoboken is right across the river from NYC with path access 24/7 and there is public transportation all over the area. Northern NJ is basically built around getting people in and out of NYC. There are plenty of options near by the arena. I am sorry but if you are rich enough to afford a hotel and tickets to the Super Bowl I am pretty sure you could afford a car to travel through Northern NJ or navigate the vast public transportation options. In Detroit a few years ago people had to transport themselves to the city's central area with the stadium and it wasn't a big deal.
  10. I live in NJ about 5 minutes outside of Giants/Meadowlands Stadium and while I wasn't obviously outside the whole time I was watching the game but what little snow fell was barely flurries, it wouldn't have effected the game. As for the weather it was cold but not unbearable just a very crisp cold. But it was also 50+ degrees and very nice earlier in that week. But it could also snow a foot, its going to be interesting but if the weather is the same as it was yesterday I would say that the game would be just fine. Without traffic its 10 minutes from the Stadium to downtown Manhattan and with traffic its like 40 minutes going from Jersey to Manhattan or 30 minutes from NY to NJ. I make that drive all the dam time. I don't know how much closer you want to get NYC. Its actually a good place being that you have two teams practice facilities so each team has their own place to go to. Also if you count the county the Stadium is located in you would have a city bigger than New Orleans. Its not going to be a disaster at all. The Meadowlands has held two games in one week without a hitch. NYC can handle the corporate events while NJ takes the football related stuff. NJ handles two teams a year every year, I really don't see why the Super Bowl over the course of two weeks split between NJ and NY would be so hard.
  11. Next years Super Bowl will be in New Jersey in the beginning of February, and its possible we could see freezing temps, snow, and all sorts of elements that could impact the game. What is everyone's thoughts on next years game being in cold weather and the possibility of playing the game in cold weather cities out doors? Could/should Chicago, Philly, and other places be in the running for the Super Bowl? I am sure at least Chicago would have the city that could handle all sorts of extra events that could go with the Super Bowl. So should Super Bowls be played in outdoor cold weather cities? I for one am for it being in a cold weather city every 5 years or so. I think that if its OK for playoff games to be played in the snow and cold then its OK for the Super Bowl too. I also think that playoff football and December football is usually in cold weather so its something that has a big game feel.
  12. Williams showed flashes in his rookie year. Then Wanny installed a defense that was just so vanilla and based off the idea that our D-line would produce pressure, it didn't and it hung out DB's all out to dry pretty much none of them really looked good last year. I think you have to give him at least one more year to show some progress before you dump him. I don't get the massive hate on this guy for both what he has produced on the field (I understand why you are disappointed with the guy so far but to the point of cutting him is just silly) and from a personal level.
  13. The Superbowl hasn't been played yet so I am not worried, you know they are going to tag one of those guys but I hope they can lock up both, you have to try and keep what talent you have.
  14. I would take a chance on this guy in the 4th or later. Lots of talent and pot isn't a drug worth black balling someone nor should it be illegal.
  15. Do you honestly think the Redskins weren't amped to play that game, that they needed more motivation? That winning the Super Bowl wasn't enough? I never buy that, if its some random non-conference game that stuff might help but the playoffs and big games players are already pretty motivated.
  16. Pour out some money to Fred Davis and a top tier WR. I know its wishful thinking but I think we can go defense in this draft and then trade for a QB and sign some targets. David Nelson will come back and be solid in the slot, Stevie is a stud, but we need someone else. Also I like Chandler at TE but I think we could use some depth there and a receiving threat. Davis coming off an injury should be relatively cheap.
  17. Moss is a serviceable player but I don't see him wanting to come here nor do I think he would have been the right guy. Moss is not the Randy Moss of old. He is decent down field but he is far from what he use to be at age 35-36
  18. The outrage is laughable, people are mad Lewis isn't going to get punished for it. But how can you punish a guy who is retiring and using the appeals process to keep it from keeping him out of the super bowl? Its his last game you can't keep him out of it unless you have full proof evidence and it complies with the appeals process.
  19. Suan Alexander was one of the best running backs in the NFL for half a decade. He was a two time All-Pro. Urlacher and John Abraham were probably the only other players who had really successful NFL careers. But that draft was pretty meh outside of Brady being a late rounder. 2002 was probably one of the most ****ty drafts as well.
  20. Maybe its the environment Kaepernick was put into as opposed to Kaepernick? They had him sit a year behind Alex Smith, get comfortable with the system and have him take some snaps here and there. As this season went along they inserted him more and more. Then they put him in and he had success behind a great D, great coach, and a really good supporting offensive cast. They signed Moss and Manningham and already had guys like Crabtree, Gore, and Davis. They had a great O-line and a great defense. The way you groom a QB is just as important as who the QB is. Its astonishing how some people don't get this.
  21. The new coaching may actually help Alex. The Jets ran a lot of complex fronts and they put guys in positions to get mismatches. And the guys most helped by their defense were usually bigger guys with quickness and versatility. I think Carrington will be helped, it helps that he played in both 3-4 and 4-3 alignments.
  22. Its going to depend on how Flacco plays in the Super Bowl. Flacco puts up big numbers and the Ravens win I think he has a case for a big deal. He stinks up the joint or plays so so then all he did was get the Ravens one game father then he got them in the past. Its a sticky situation for the Ravens. You have a team that's going to lose a lot of defensive and supporting talent or lose their QB who took them to a Super Bowl and they had success with (I know Baltimore is going to franchise Flacco but if they don't come to a conclusive deal could they trade him) Overall its tough I would think the Ravens don't mind giving him a deal north of 15 million but 20 per would be hard for a team already up against the cap.
  23. Funny, I thought this was about the idea of drafting Johnny Football 8th overall even though he wasn't in the draft. Kind of like what the Celtics did with Larry Bird. Which if possible isn't the worst idea but that's completely against the NFL drafts rules.
  24. 2008 Pollard was the guy that blew out Brady's knee that ended their chance to follow up their perfect regular season 2009 he was the guy that tore Welkers ACL that killed their chances in the playoffs 2011 he hurt Gronks ankle which was a key factor for the Giants upset in that Super Bowl 2012 he injures Ridley and causes a fumble that ended their chances for a fumble Pollard has a knack for injuring Pats* and is a pretty good player. If the Ravens are in a lot of cap hell and are willing to trade him I wouldn't be opposed to it. But I don't think Pollard's contract is unreasonable so I doubt the Ravens are looking to trade him.
  25. kick the tires leave no stone unturned I guess.
