John Beck as a starter? That only means Shanahan dares Redskins fans to watch the game.
-
I feel the Washington game is important. Losing going into the bye, you don't want to come out flat and lose the first game after it. This team rides on intensity and emotion, and I think it would take a big hit with a loss in Toronto.
Washington with Beck at QB is a very winnable game, and we need all those we can get, regardless if it's in the conference or not.
-
He has an acute allergy to tackling football players.
Did you see what the Eagles want in return?
-
I wonder who the Raiders are going to cut to squeeze that new salary in under the cap.
-
I know a previous poster said he thinks the Giants game will cost us the playoffs. I think it may be a loss against Washington. That's a must have win after the bye. If we can't beat up John Beck...
-
Mangold is their MVP.
Without him, they lose that game last night.
The Jets are very beatable.

Seems like a moot point, the trade deadline is tomorrow. Gonna be tough to get someone in camp, evaluate them, have them pass a physical and sign a contract by the end of tomorrow. If we are talking for next year, I think it makes more sense to wait for free agency/the draft to see who we can get without having to pay/compensate another team.
...and that's why you might address the problem from another direction. You bring in Pat Williams, a free agent, can play either 3/4 or the 4/3 and he'll take up the linemen to give Williams and Dareus room to operate and create some holes for a linebacker on the blitz.
Quicker, doable fix than a trade, and you aren't asking Williams at 38, to contribute for an entire season.
-
Nobody is going to take on Freeney's contract.
-
My big problem with last night's episode is that in an emporium of *lightly used* rides, they stick with that busted 70s Winny.
An interesting thing I caught last night was that I had first believed that once you were dead, regardless of how, you were reanimated unless you were shot in the head.
I believed that is what Jenner told Rick in the season finale.
That doesn't appear to be the case with some of the dead people on the highway staying dead and not reanimating. (the hatchet man in the F-150)
The helicopters in the season preview also caught my eye.
-
How about Pat Williams? He himself won't rush the passer, but he'll create opportunities for the other guys.
-
I don't know why the Rams did this with the season effectively in the tank. Bizarre trade.
-
I'd support a change. I'm sure DW has input into the plan, but it's likely between ego and respect for the coaching hierarchy, that Edwards makes the decisions.
I'm not sure how that change in coaching would benefit on the field, but I'd be interested in seeing what would happen.
-
In the world of extreme possibilities, the only one on that list that would go anywhere would be Mathis.
The problem is that you'd pay out the nose to get a 30 year old lineman and then have to sign him to a big contract.
Mathis is productive, but how much of that productivity is due to teams having to worry about Freeney on the other side?
-
I don't think teams are planning for Chandler. I think the coaches saw a weakness in that KC game that they could exploit, and well they did.
And haven't since.
Outside of Week 1, he hasn't caught many passes. Nine for a handful of yards with no TDs.
-
Agreed. For whatever reason, the Bills coaches refuse to do what works two games in a row.
-
I'd be ecstatic at 5-1 but I'm excited at 4-2.
4-2 at the bye? Beyond my wildest expectations. Good job team.
-
Spiller finally puts it together as a receiver this game, and Gailey, once again, looks like a genius.
-
More interesting question is who do you take between Lloyd and Wayne if both are available for the same price?
-
haven't read all the posts, so apologize if already stated.
one of the reasons Lloyd is on the trading block is that he publicly stated that "he preferred to play with Kyle Orton over Tebow".

That would make sense and good find. He's only ever been productive with Orton at QB.
-
I think it's too early to rule the 2009 draft a *total* bust.
Yes, Maybin is surely one. He's never performed. Some of those other guys have underperformed so far.
I think Curry will end up proving us wrong. Seattle was playing him at the wrong position, so it never surprised me he wasn't as dominant in the NFL as he was at Wake Forest. Hopefully the Raiders put him at middle linebacker where he's' supposed to be.
-
I don't buy it yet but I can see why the Colts might be open to doing it.
Regardless if it's Luck or Manning back there, it's evident they have to overhaul that old team from top to bottom to stay competitive. Even with a healthy Manning, the sun is setting on the Colts fast with the combination of injuries, age, and busted draft picks.
They will need lots of new draft picks to do it. IF you can parlay your aging wide receiver into a big, talented linebacker in next year's draft, it's enticing.
-
All about the price for me. He had a great year in Denver, but otherwise with stops in SF, Chicago and Washington, eh and seemed to be only productive when Kyle Orton was QB. Further, if he had trouble with the old school Joe Gibbs, not sure how he'd manage with Gailey.
Lots of questions. I'd be ok with swapping the 4th from the Evans trade, but nothing higher. I don't think the Bill absolutely need to do this move. The Bills seem to grow capable receivers on trees and I'd be happy seeing what Roosevelt and Aiken can do.
-
Outside of the injury game of who has more healthy players as the season wears on, IMO the game that scares me the most is Washington right after the bye. It's a combination of bad memories of 2008 and a fear of the team coming out flat against a better than average Redskins defense.
Overall, every game on that schedule is realistically winnable this year. No game strikes me as a "oh wow, yeah the Bills are going to get blown out in that one, no chance."
-
Please,
Our WR and TE names outside of Chandler, Spiller and Roosevelt may have been pulled from the witness relocation handbook.
I screw them up sometimes.
Donald Johnson.
Fred Nelson.
Steve Jackson
David Jones.
Whatever just keep winning.
I read your post and my brain instantly popped in the Miami Vice theme song.
John Beck named starter for Redskins

John Beck could not beat out Cleo Lemon in 2007 on that horrible 1-15 Dolphins squad, whom we swept.
Beck was the backup to Lemon that season and the Bills did not face him. Until last Sunday, he hadn't played in a game since 2007.
I have no idea what Shanahan was thinking with the QBs this year. Going into a season with Grossman and Beck as your solutions seems like a desperation move to get yourself fired. I'm surprised he didn't go out and find Jeff Smoker or Chad Hutchinson or Ken Dorsey.
