  1. Shannahan, Holmgren, Cowher, and Schottenheimer are on the market and we have Dick freaking Jauron. Go 2012
  2. Josh Heupel says hello. I know Bradford is going higher than that, but I haven't heard anyone respectable say him or anyone else coming out other than the Georgia kid has a decent shot to be an nfl qb.
  3. None of these road teams are big favorites, so it wouldn't be a shock if any of them lost. FWIW Pat Williams is out though, which is obv. a huge reason they've been so tough to run against the last 3 years.
  4. Has definitely never happened, but I guess it was bound to sometime since they went to 4 divisions....it was a lot less likely to happen when there were 3 divisions and the top wildcard got a home game.
  5. I don't read Lombardi's stuff but I like him on Bill Simmons' podcast (among other interesting points I hadn't heard from anyone else are that the Steelers' slop field actually hurts them, and CB's who play in a dome are usually overrated). One time they weren't even talking about the Bills but about Hester/Chicago, and he went out of his way to mention that Roscoe Parrish was one of the most underutilized (or mis-used) players in the league.
  6. As if the SB players play anyway? If that's the biggest negative then it's a great idea.
  7. Is this serious or are you Crayonz' other account? Brady no trade value
  8. I guess. Hard to find a coach more confident than Gregg Williams... The bottom line is getting somebody smart. A Del Rio type who doesn't out-think himself but takes good risks, and can install some mental toughness would be super.
  9. Very true, that bonehead move would go down in the "Morninwhig taking the wind in OT @Chicago" category if Elam doesn't make that play.
  10. Exactly. Nitpicking that quote amounts to a more useless thread than Pete Carroll.
  11. Agreed, taking a center that high cause our center sucks I think is how the term "reach" originated.
  12. It was tempting to hate on a safety pick when I thought Whitner was average. Now that I'm coming around the idea that he sucks, I might warm up to a safety that can make a play.
  13. Oh they're up already. Atl is -1, B'more -3, Philly -3. Indy will be -3 I'm guessing. Plz get this backdoor cover Cutler...haven't had many luckbox covers other than the Browns in week 2. Nevermind I close the season worse than the Jets. Week 17: 1-2 2008: 29-25
  14. [ ] He might consider it [ ] Good NFL coach [x] Epic fail
  15. Andre Johnson, Calvin Johnson. Both awesome all year including week 15 and week 17, but not 16. Gahhh
  16. Another good post. The stingy philosophy w/ coaches has never made any sense to me either. Even from an economic standpoint, an extra couple million seems like a relatively cheap investment in the grand scheme of things, and/or significantly less coin than what Ralph says is chump change when he's questioned on why he doesn't sell the stadium's naming rights
  17. Why do I feel like this missed PAT is going to kill me in the Denver game. Anyway, I predict an unprecedented 4 road favorites on wildcard weekend. Postseason betting is too hard to actually do it IRL IMO but I'll probably post picks anyway just for kicks. If anyone else wants to chime in that's cool too.
  18. I like this post too. You're totally right that the inability to separate the Bills from self-esteem is easy to ridicule on a message board, but can actually be an issue, at least with me. I wouldn't go so far to say that I dread going into work (well I do but that's off-topic) but the envious "hey your team that isn't the least bit fashionable to root for is pretty good this year" comments is one of the things I miss about 5-1.
  19. I would guess slightly less than 38%.
  20. Even the job he did in Dallas is underrated becuase their fans have a ridiculous Yankee-like mentality that they're entitled to win it all every year. Everyone forgets they were a garbage team with a backfield of Quincy Carter & Troy Hambrick coming off three straight 5-11 seasons when he got there.
  21. According to Football Outsiders, we both finished about where we should've finished. You're probably overestimating the gap in QB play.
  22. Miss a lot of games this year?
  23. What I dislike the most is that everything Mike Schope (TBD's favorite whipping boy) has said since the Dallas game last year is unfortunately correct. It's fine to not be emotional, not call plays, be a player's coach, and be a CEO. What's not fine is that when you bring that little to the table elsewhere you have to be good in the detailed areas like clock and game management. Since he's not that essentially makes him Herm Edwards, who I don't think is the worst coach ever, but certainly not someone who can compete with Bellichick in the division. The next guy they bring in will most likely get owned by BB just as hard and maybe worse, but when the alternative "continuity" involves a ceiling of 7-9, that's a risk I'm willing to take.
  24. They would've been the #2 seed if Carolina lost.
