  1. Someone is bound to turn this into a racial discussion, just wait and see. Regardless, KW is a team leader and he is respected, for that he does have value beyond just play on the field. Also Marcel was the 3rd pick in the draft, got a stupid large second contract, more is expected and more should be demanded from his play. Third, Marcell has gotten into trouble a few times, missed a team bus etc., KW to my knowledge has been a model citizen. Finally, at this point KW is old, again expectations are lower. MD should be in the prime of his career.
  2. Years ago, more than a decade ago I had a few of the best flights in my life in 747-400s, used to fly back from Europe in business or first, cant even remember but a couple times spent nearly the entire time in the bar, i really had some great times up there, nice people, if the stewardesses were "cool" it real made it enjoyable. I would think they have it configured all first class. Half those players could barely fit in if it wasnt.
  3. Are those Buffalo Bills jerseys team USA us wearing?
  4. I agree 100%...i think his biggest asset in college were has hands. After that Carolina "drop" in game 2 I think his confidence took a nosedive, he certainly talked as if he lost the game which I think was noble and the right thing to say but not true. That was a very difficult catch, either he was not at the right spot at the right time or TT was inaccurate with the throw. I cant blame his hands for dropping that one.
  5. Maybe. I will go longer term than and include Yolo, Gunner, Badlands Meanie and Shaw66, and way back from the BBMB most best poster was Bumbles...when he or she wrote something it was correct 955 of the time..
  6. How can anyone with a straight face not admit Zay Jones dropped way too many balls he should have caught. And no I dont even blame him for the alleged drop at the end of the Carolina game, that was a tough catch (not his fault that is assuming Jones was in the right place at the right time)
  7. Best poster, Dunkirk Don and I do realize he/she maybe fabricating everything but it is entertaining and provoked good discussion regardless.
  8. To some fans, yes..to the organization/team/players...squat. To me, nah. Memories of all those years of Miami dominance make me realize that even the Pats dominance wlil someday come to an end.
  9. So Gettleman got let go by Jerry Richardson and doesn't take long to find another job. Wonder if Gentleman "had the goods" on Ricahrdsaon and that is why he was fired..also have to wonder how much if anything McD and Beane know about some of the issues surrounding Richardson's quasi-forced departure.
  10. Yes Tomlin mumbled a la Belichek about what is best for the team right now, from what I could tell no acknowledgement of all Harrison had done for the Steelers through the years...then again some players voicing issues of Harrison recent work ethic and behavior. Not a happy divorce at all.
  11. Very logical and who in the right mind could blame him. Evidence right now shows he made the right decision. So he wasn't a "nice guy" in Buffalo and had a screaming match with Whaley, who cares. They guy produced here with our first winning season in 9 years and he is doing pretty darn well in Jax of all places. Took over a 3 win team and now won his division handily. Might be coach of the year material. What was the egregious insult I "hurled", was it "time to grow up, its a business"...if that has you so outraged i beg your forgiveness for my incredibly insensitive insult. Sorry that was too sarcastic, really not trying to insult anyone here pick fights, just talk football so my sincere apology.
  12. Relax a little. I stand by my comments, Marrone doesnt owe any Bills fan any explanation or apology. Most Bills fans are so sensitive, acting like a jilted lover, it is a business.
  13. Marrone "owes" no one any explanation or forgiveness, it is a business, time to grow up. Want evidence, look at Harrison signing with the Pats. Marrone had a smart agent, contractually he got $4 million for doing nothing, didnt like the GM and knew his current QB EJ , was a disaster. Now he is on a team headed to the playoffs, congrats Doug.
  14. Texans set an NFL record with the number of injuries/different players they were forced to play this year. No way McNair is going to fire Obrien and he is not quitting so no Vrabel at Houston. And I would be thrilled if Patricia went to the Redskins.
  15. Good for Terry, he is spot on correct.
  16. We could be a 5th seed if the Bengals & Jags win and we would play Kansas city.
  17. No,not really but any given Sunday always applies, even with the Pats/Bills. Almost everything had to work our way and after the KB TD call back i had zero hope and I think the team knew it.
  18. No they would not have overturned it. Wasnt irrefutable enough evidence.
  19. Yes because it was a demonstrably bad call. You want anecdotal proof in support of my argument, Ironically enough, BOTH the Pittsburgh TD and KBs td were the right calls on the Field. It was only after the replays got involved that they were overturned with the wrong calls.
  20. Your phone technology analogy to football is ridiculous, the actual game of football really hasnt changed that much, we all "know" what a catch is when we see it but not in today's NFL.
  21. True but it doesnt change the fact that this system is an abject failure and it seems to only be getting worse, they more they try to "fid it" the worse it gets. Tim Graham sums it up perfectly, "Common sense has evaporated from the replays process, wiping out compelling plays." The system is broken, there are no tweeks to salvage it, the more they try to define what a catch is the worse it gets. Letting the officials in NY has failed as well yesterday. Give it up, go back to officials on the field the first time and a thing called common sense.
  22. Yes I can totally imagine it because i recall the game BEFORE all this replay/challenge non-sense...the game was quicker, fairer and fans complained less.
  23. Old AFL Guy has it right, go back to what the system was 30 years ago, let the refs call it on the field and it stands, just like an ump calling balls and strikes in baseball. Everyone "knows" what a catch is at every level, everyone knows Kelvin B caught a TD pass, everyone knows the Pitt TE caught the game winner last week but both were called back due to micro-minutia decisions by instant replay. The NFL is in serious decline in populatory for multiple reasons, this idiocy about what is a catch is just irritating, frustrating and is ruining any intergrity this game has left.
