Lindell can hit a 51 yarder. If you cant you dont belong in the NFL
Ding Ding Ding.....methinks he shouldnt belong in the NFL.

AHHH MY EARSWHO IS DOING THE GAME? -
I dont know whether to agree or not...
On one hand, they have a good team, and went to the superbowl a year ago, and didnt lose much. So one might suspect they could do the same again if healthy and added a #1....However...
I dont think Delhomme is the QB to do this. They signed him to a monster deal, and I think he is just a marginal quarterback, maybe in the top half of the league. Also, injuries are often not just a one time thing. with the huge number of injuries suffered this year, i think it is possible some will linger into next season.
It should be interesting to watch them though. Just goes to show the great parity in the NFL. Now if only the NFL can ground new england...

First time i have ever seen a game decided with a safety in ot.

with the Jets, Ravens, Broncos, Chargers, Indy and Jags....
we NEED to be 11-5 to have a chance for the playoffs. The good thing is we can do it. Lets take it one game at a time though, starting today against NE.
Well, the jets without pennington are not a playoff team. I see them falling a bit. Jacksonville is also overrated (though even I predicted playoffs for them), They are 6-3, but they are barely winning most of thier games, and the I suspect the luck will run out eventually. Their PF/PA is 151-163!! Not usually indicitive of a 6-3 record.
Either the broncos or the chargers will win the west, leaving the other to fight for a WC.
As I see it.
EAST: New England
NORTH: Pittsburgh
SOUTH: Indianapolis
WEST: Denver
Wildcard: Jets/Jags/Chargers/Ravens
I made my case against NYJ and Jax above, now lets look at SD's schedule
Kansas city Twice. Indianapolis and Denver. Ouch.
And the ravens? Dallas, New England, Giants, Indy and Pittsburgh.
Point is, it wont be an easy road for ANY wildcard team. I think 9-7 gets you in.
Right now, pittsburgh is our friend. If they keep rolling and win out (except for week 17 when they rest their starters....hopefully), they will have beaten Baltimore, Jets, and Jacksonville, and greatly help our cause, especially if we can beat them.
This will be my last post on the playoff issue until after the game tonight, because it is EXTREMELY Premature until we beat NE.
-
We are 3-5. We have 4 VERY winnable games (SF, Cle, Cin and Mia). Assuming we win all 4 of those games we need 2 more wins to have a chance at the wildcard at 9-7.
The remaining 4 games are New England, St. Louis, Pittsburgh and Seattle. Not a cakewalk by any means.
With a win tonight, 9-7 is NOT a stretch. We would have then won 4 of our last 5 games, with momentum on our side heading into two tough games against st.louis and seattle. But we really need to win tonight, because taking 2 of 3 from St. Louis/Pittsbutgh and Seattle is a tough road to hoe. Though, with the way pittsburgh is playing, we may get lucky playing them in the last week of the season, as they might have home field advantage (another reason we need to win tonight, to help pittsburgh rest their starters in week 17).
But like i said...ALL this goes out the window if we lose tonight. BRING IT BOYS!

The only thing I want is Jennings Franchised. We are trading Henry and can get a good high 2nd rounder for him. We have the cap room, let someone pay us something for Jennings. If it is another 2nd I can live with 3 2nd round picks this offseason.
The problem is Jennings IS NOT a franchise tackle. This worked with peerless because we created the impression we would be willing to keep him and pay him franchise money. Nobody would think we would be willing to pay jennings money, and thus at some point, have to drop the tag and get nothing in return. Its a big game, one which probably isnt worth playing (and the same reason we didnt tag winfield last year)

48% I ignored the south and fugged up Ohio. Can I re-take the test?
No. No you cant Mr. Kerry.
-
Colorado state #1...that is rough. 18 mil off in 299 sec
-
I voted for bledsoe!
Now wouldnt that be funny lol
-
They should trade it to us for henry!
In todays NFL, sure it looks like thye need alot, but really anything can happen (look at SD!).
If they go out and get brees for a 2nd round pick, ricky comes back, boston returns to form and they sure up a few other spots around their team, this team could be good again EVEN WITHOUT a #1 producing. (not to mention the piloli/weis combo being talked about)
I would not be suprised intodays NFL.

the bills 2000 draft makes me want to vomit
Me too, except a quick glance at the 2nd round shows little talent.
Dennis northcutt, todd pinkston and Jerry Porter are the only real notable names (maybe some OL i havent heard of as well)
The 3rd round brought us the likes of erron kenney and dez white. Ruben drogns and Lavernus coles also came from the 3rd.
Point is, this draft was VERY VERY weak all around. Sure we had a bad draft, a VERY bad draft, but unless you are baltimore or Seattle (Jamal Lewis and Shaun Alexander respectively), I think you are dissapointd as well.
Note: Tom Brady, Tim Rattay and many other solid role guys are late in this draft, but the first 3 rounds produced IMO VERY little talent.

BIIIIIIIIIIIIG mistake for the cable companies. They are already losing out to a superior product and they refuse to get in the game here. I switched to DirecTV, but wouldnt have if cable offered the package. Now that I have switched, i cant imagine going back
-
Yeah, I picked up a-train, my mistake. Chapman is not available. Thanks for your input, I think thats what I will do.
-
The bye week bug has bitten hard, and my normal 2 RB starters are on bye. I was fortunate enough to pick up Thomas Jones, but the other RB position is suspect.
I still have henry on my roster, but I know he is a bad play this week. Also on my roster is Dorsey Levens, but he isnt suposed to start. Verron Hayes of Pit is available, since staley is out, but bettis is supposed to be the #1 back.
Right now im leaning toward levens and hoping westbrook cant go long, anyone got any suggestions?
-
With drew throwing the ball, I believe we need someone on offense to start batting down some of his throws.
-
Well, lets examine this 7-2 possibility
Should Lose:
NE, Pit,
Could Win:
Jets, Sea and StL
Should Win:
Miami, Cleveland, Cincinnati, San Fran
For the sake of argument, say we beat Mia, Cle, Cin and SF, and we beat the Jets tomorrow. Lets rack up the loss at NE. We are now 7-6, with Pit, Sea and StL left. Its entirely possible pit will be resting some starters that last week of the season.
If we play like we are capable of (big stretch i know, but im the eternal optimist), we can beat StL and probably Seattle.
7-2 is a stretch, no doubt, but not as impossible as one would think, but WE have to come out and win those games. Hopefully we can pull it off.

Okay, let's throw away the 2000 election. It was a mess, and nobody will agree what happened.
Let me ask you this, about the 2004 election. Just say Kerry had won Ohio (he only lost by 130,000 votes, or so, last I heard). He would have then won the election, even though Bush still would have finished with 3million more popular votes. I think some of you on the board would be singing a different tune. Many on the right would be clamoring for an investigation.
I also wouldnt me. Okay, perhaps I would be frustrated, but lets look at this objectively.
Bush really doesnt have national appeal. The entire northeast and west coast voted strongly against him, while the entire middle of the country voted strongly for him. The EC is in place to require a candidate to have national appeal. Bush is very borderline in his "national appeal". Its just the way it is.

"Those who do not know history are bound to repeat it."
The electoral college is a good and necessary evil in our society. The election in 2000 proved once again, how valuable a commodity the electoral college is. Opponents to the college point to Florida as a reason to abolish the EC. The exact opposite is true.
The first thing that is important to remember, is that it is extremely unlikely that there will be a split in the EC and PV when the margin of victory in the Popular vote is wide. Therefore it stands to reason, that the only time we are in this position is when the popular vote is very close.
When the popular vote is very close, the framers of our constitution gave us a clear and decisive way to decide the election...the Electoral College.
Remeber Florida 2000. Remember the never ending chaos? Remember hanging chads and lawyers around every corner? The endless recounts and press conferences. Now imagine if we had no electoral college, that scene would play out in every polling place in every county and city in the entire united states. It is precicely BECAUSE of the electoral college that our focus was in FL and FL alone.
In 1888 there was a presidential election between grover clevelend and Bengimin Harrison. Grover cleveland ran on a message of reducing tarrifs, an issue extremely important to southern states. As a result, southern states voted him as their presidential choice with an overwhelming 2/3 majority. The problem was, these few states provided a large chunk of the popular vote, but the majority of states did not benefit from the tarrif reduction, and voted for Harrison. As a result, the electoral college did EXACTLY what is was intended to do, it prevented a candidate from winning the white house on the basis of one regions support, at the expense of the rest of the country.
This could still happen (and almost did happen this week) today. President Bush has a Huge support in the center of this country. The purpose of the electoral college is to ensure broad support across the country.
Two more quick things to remember.
1) The EC is not inherently unfair. It is not unfair that tiny Vermont has as many senators as Huge California. Its not unfair that the winner of the world series is the one to win 4 games, not the one who scores the most runs. Such is the system we have, and it is in place for a very good reason.
2) The EC is here to stay. Debate it all you want, it takes 2/3 of the states to ratify a constitutional ammendment, and Small states like vermont and Rhode Island will not vote in favor, since it basically takes them out of the entire electoral process.
One bit of reform that does make sense however, is to do away with the "physical" electoral college. As it stands today, many states do not require their electors to vote for the candidate chosen by their state. There have been a few faithless electors in the past, and the day will arrive where a faithless elector will decide an election, and that is just wrong. Either eliminate the actual elector process, or require them to vote for the candidate chosen by their state.

Thanks for keeping the debate civil.

US Constitution (Article III, Section 3): Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort...
There is a fine line between a dissenting opinion and treason, I fully understand this distinction. However, once free speech goes so far as to give "Aid and comfort" to our enemies it is BY DEFINITION OF OUR CONSTITUTION, treason.
Acts depicted in many of these photos are sedition at best and treason at worst, and might I say, the reason the democratic party is a national party no more.
-
My point is not to limit free speech. Free speech is an important part of our fabric in this country. However, once free speech crosses the line and becomes treason it should be proscecuted as such. Where to draw the line is fuzzy and I understand that. But people like this have no place in a civilized society.
BTW I want to say that it is very refreshing to be able to have a conversation such as this without resorting to petty insults. If only we could get more debate in our society maybe we will actually become that one america john edwards was talking about.

if she runs i'm a REPUBLICAN
Which is EXACTLY why she wont run. No republican will vote for her, and the reasonable portion of the democratic party wont vote for her. She gets 30% of the vote. Tops.
Look at that Red/Blue map. Now consider she won just 55% of all votes in NEW YORK. She has no chance in any of the states bush won, and would even lose many states kerry won (WI, IA, NH).
