The QB class is weak this year... why I can see some team being stupid and trading to much for either a broken down old QB (like Roman) or a QB who showed ability to excel in limited action (like Jimmy G. Or the Steelers backup Landry Jones) my gutt says at least one crazy trade for a backup happens during or just before the draft.

lol I expect nothing less I will still be there cheering my cold white butt off for a win. But no matter what I am gonna enjoy the ride as it is getting close to the end.

Got love the media.. run with any stupid story. Although I am shocked Chef (Tomlin) threw him under the bus like he did.

He can make every throw, he is a good QB. I am not sure if he is a special WB but he will probably be an average QB with a good HC. ( the one in ND sucks!)

In all seriousness if they want the refs be better and speed up the game is a simple fix. Make the refs FULL TIME employees so they can learn all the rules and be trained how the NFL wants. This way you will get consistency and a lot less head scratching. I think it is vastly unreasonable to expect a part time employee (who has a full time job) to learn and INDERSTAND every rule the NFL has as well as UNDERSTAND what the intent was behind the rule.

Ahh my bad then. Totally missed it

Which is why he probably stays there or retires.

Per Pete Carroll, Sherman was playing with an ACL injury most of the year.. just an FYI

Assessing a penalty for a player complaining about a call or non call is beyond idiotic. These are human beings out there who are emotionally vested. (I hope) they should be allowed to display and argue a bad call/non call.. If you want to speed up the game is simple.. Allow them to play football without having so many ticky tacky rules to enforce.

As the SF owner said "you may want fire the owner but that just isn't how it works, your stuck with me!" With that little smirk on his face makes ya want to slap him.. but the owner wanted Osweiler.

1996 was the beginning of the wait list for Patriot season tickets. Had a lot to do with Parcells being here.

sorry to hear about your grandma, but sit back and just enjoy the game . Both games this weekend should be an offensive clinic going on. (Now that i said that watch it be 2 defensive show downs lol) I see Atlanta v GB being whoever has the ball last wins type game. While the Pats V Steelers game I expect the Ds to play better than expected and stop eachother a few times, but I could see both Brady and Ben being clutch as well and winning the game on the last drive. (And seem a lot of Bills fans hate Whaley)

I expect stopping Bell will be Priority one.

Bell is a mismatch advantage for the Steelers vs Anyone. Man is IMO the best RB in the NFL.

Pump the breaks he is light years better than "pick 6" Eli. Also seemed for a long time it was literally Brady, Manning then Big Ben then Back to Brady....

Same is true for Lewis on Pitt LBers. (Read I think on bleacher report where McCoy actually said Lewis was the most talented RB he ever saw maybe even more talented than him. Was said during training camp w the eagles. ) Both these Os are scary good and should be a fun game I just see Big Ben throwing a couple of picks as he has not been as careful this year with the football. (He killed me in fantasy this year.) be interesting to see for sure. The Pats Run D has been very good this year. I thought the biggest miss match were the young Pitt corners on Edelman and Amondola and Hogan.

The NFL loves the Pats going deep into the A playoffs and wee hoping for a Pats V Cowboys SB. The two teams whose prime time games actually exceeded last years. It is easy you to see why though. Everyone HATES the Pats out of NE so they watch to cheer for the other team, and the Cowboys had 2 exciting rookies to watch.

Since 2003 with but 1 exception. (Flacco and Ravens SB) It has been Brady,Peyton, Big Ben every year.

I agree, I just don't see Brady having another Bad game for two reasons. One, the Steelers S front is not half as scary as the Texans D front and their secondary is young. The second reason is it is beyond rare for Brady have 2 bad games in a row. Also a big difference this year is Big Ben has had more than one game where he has been bad, the reason they win isn't him but rather Bell. IMO you stop Bell you stop the Steelers.

Yup was the Cowboys and 49ers before is with that fan base. I am hopeful this long run has increased our fan base from before 1996.

THIS YEAR insay all 4 are easily in top 5. Over their careers I say Big Ben has a solid argument to be in there and Matty Ice is probably 7-8... still damn impressive list for the final 4.

Did you see that grab by Cook!? One of the best catches I have ever seen. (Keeping his feet in and making that grab was more WOW for me than OBJ one handed grabs)

Maybe he feels if the Pats win it proves why it is so hard for Buffalo to make the Playoffs. If your in the divisionnwhere the AFC SB Rep comes from 50% of the time it makes your division the toughest in the AFC. OR more likely he feels if Brady wins another ring maybe he gets bored and retires so the Bills have a better chance.

Loo Evans made the scape GOAT but I seem remember a FG kicker BADLY shanking the game tying FG. The football goads were with the Pats that day. Also the Pats D (outside of when we had Revis) was always inferior and unable hold leads. I don't know about this years version yet but we will see on Sunday.

That we do, but we also bhave a lot of young fans who have never seen a bad year. They were losing their collective minds when KC crushed NE a few years ago...
