  1. Kyle Orton was never going to retire, even his old boss knew that was complete nonsense. Jerry Jones: Kyle Orton doesn't plan to retire from NFL
  2. I can't say for certain what the design was, was mostly commenting on the execution. And unless they were attempting to set up screen passes all half, the execution was poor. The middle was blown up on long yardage plays, and this is without BJ Raji playing.
  3. Yeah, I was just focusing on the 1st half for the time being. Trying to figure out how we can get the ball 7 times and only come away with 3 points. I'm not trying to absolve Orton -- he needs to play better, but it's a lot more than "just the QB." The entire offense was a train wreck, from blocking schemes to route running.
  4. I didn't see that in the first half. Woods dropped a ball that hit him in the hands on 1st and 10, then the next play was an INT.
  5. I agree. I just re-watched the first half of the game. Our offense was given the ball 7 times (not counting the Thigpen runback) and totaled 3 points. Orton was probably directly responsible for 1 of those drives ending -- the one with the INT. Every other drive was stymied with the run getting completely stuffed, penalties, receivers slipping and falling down, dropped passes, or missed blocks resulting in sacks/pressure. There was an ugly 5 yd incompletion to Freddie, but that was on a 3rd and 18 and it didn't look like he was going to get the 1st even if he caught it.
  6. He played a full game for Dallas in December 2013. The posters on this board even watched that footage before the Detroit game!
  7. Semantics???
  8. Bursts onto the scene? Getting tape on him? He's been playing since 2005!
  9. Last week winning out gave us like a ~38% chance to get in. Now down to only 27% if we win out
  10. Great win yesterday but unfortunately we didn't get any help.
  11. Yeah, Montoya has zero lateral movement. Enroth looked average.
  12. Now we're starting to outshoot teams.
  13. Barring a Dallas-Philadelphia tie, the Cards will be guaranteed a wildcard this weekend.
  14. "The Sabres have won eight of 11. They’re 9-7-1 in their last 17 games and that’s no small sample size. It’s more than 20 percent of the season." I don't think we've outshot a team all season, but these teams have to stop playing their backup goalies against us. That goaltender for Calgary was brutal.
  15. According to Harrington, probably Stewart and Stafford, and I wouldn't complain. If they trade Myers I'll be upset, and if they trade Enroth now it would look really bad. "Murray knows what Terry Pegula wants and shares the owner’s lust for Connor McDavid (or Jack Eichel). But he can’t make it overly obvious what his intentions might be. Trading Enroth now would be horrendous optics, about the tankiest thing ever."
  16. I believe that's wishful thinking from a fan. A 5yr contract with $12M-$15M guaranteed? There's a team out there willing to give him more than that. I think the guaranteed money ($11M) is spot on, but there's little chance he will sign a 2yr deal (it's amazing Avril did). Project Avril's guaranteed cash over 5 yrs and you get $27.5M, and that sounds just about right.
  17. I think a good guide would be to use Tamba Hali's contract, which was 5yr $57M with $35M guaranteed. I think Hughes will be similar with less guaranteed (doesn't have as long a track record) say $25M.
  18. Quiz time! Question: Brian Schottenheimer has been an OC for the past 9 years. He has never fielded a top-10 offense, and in 7 of those 9 years his offense was never ranked higher than 20th. Why is he still coaching in the NFL? Answer:
  19. Enroth with 42 saves in the win vs. some scrub backup goalie that was horrendous. Edmonton is going to be tough to catch -- 1 win in their last 10 games.
  20. Is it your goal to make every single thread on this forum about EJ Manuel?
  21. The JFF effect
  22. I didn't believe this could possibly be true so I looked it up. Gruden's contract worth over $20 million guaranteed That's unconscionable.
  23. Pretty good crowd vibe, not what I would call a rowdy sports bar, but the crowd got more engaged than I imagined. Incredible TVs and decor. Didn't get any entrees, but we ordered finger-foods like stuffed banana peppers and poutine (!) and they were excellent. Was $4.50 for most bottled beer and I think $4.00 for a 16oz draft. Right now parking in the ramp is free, which is really nice because you can quickly enter the bar from the 2nd level of the ramp -- but you may want to call about that because the bartender told me they are going to start charging for parking "sometime soon."
