It's a 6:00am kickoff for me.

Yeah, that's always been where I draw the line too.

Title error: 8/29

Incomprehensible.

So do I. It doesn't really have a point to it. I mean, if you are putting in 100% effort and you are not getting good results....what ya gonna do? The opposite would have some point to it..."Don't confuse results with effort.", as this would be saying that even if you are getting good results you could perhaps be trying harder. It also seems to go against the old saying of "Put in the effort and the results will follow." A confusing saying from a confused man.

Those 6 women were very very busy.

I don't think that the ideas that you put forward are a problem. I do however think that your insistance that those ideas are definitively correct, and that anybody with an opposing idea is definitively incorrect is one though.

Our HC trolling the media! The media trolling the fans! Everything is upside down!

ESPN call it "Total QBR". http://espn.go.com/nfl/qbr They would have simply called it "QBR" if there was no preceding standard for that term. You asked me to google it. This is the first thing to come up: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_Quarterback_Rating Wiki also states that passer rating is: "also known as quarterback rating, QB rating". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passer_rating There are also websites like this: http://www.footballguys.com/qbrating.htm I admit this is not a big issue, but it is a bugbear of mine. For many years the only football information I(and my friends) could get was from magazines(mainly ProFootballWeekly). We didn't invent QBR as the standard term used. It was in fact the standard term used. When I was first posting here there was no confusion on the issue. Everybody understood exactly what QBR means. It has only been since ESPN's Total QBR has taken root that confusion has started....and other media outlets have changed their terminologies to avoid the confusion. I have always used the term QBR to mean QuarterBack Rating(or Passer Rating). I will not change simply because one media outlet decides to invent something new....particularly since they do not provide the mathematical formula for it.

I'm a football fan and I interpret that when someone says QBR they mean QuarterBack Rating.....just like the previous bunch of decades. Lets not allow one specific media outlet with an unfathomable new system change how we talk about things. Giving them credit though, they don't call their system QBR....they maintain it as ESPN's Total QBR. Maybe fans should learn to do the same to stop the confusion.

Passer Rating is QBR.....and has been for decades. ESPN's Total QBR(probably trademarked) is what many people are now referring to as simply QBR.

Smoke screen?

People talk about the culture of a club often enough, but perhaps this video shows that there is a culture to the NFL as a whole that needs addressing. That video actually makes me think about the Pats and Brady running with the same culture of "it's OK to do bad things as long as you don't get caught". Who knows? Perhaps how the NFL has handled deflategate is showing that they are finally wanting this culture to change.

I don't follow that logic. Either something was told in confidence, in which case you shouldn't be divulging the source(and possibly the information) to anybody.....or it wasn't told in confidence, in which case you can tell whomever you want. Telling a hanful of strangers from an internet forum the information is not maintaining any form of confidentiality.

So if the totally unexpected happens and the coaches start EJ, does that mean you will then think it is the best decision?

I think it isn't necessarily must get killed.....but is very likely will get killed at some point. And not because they are a QB....but because they run. At the moment, our first 5 RBs are out with injury. RBs are regularly getting injured. It just stands to reason that if your QB takes off and runs like a RB regularly, then missing time due to injury is inevitable.....unless they have that rare ability(luck?) that some of the great RBs have had in avoiding injuries through their careers.

Assuming the figures quoted are correct(6 new years, $90M), this is a $15M/year offer. Considering that Suh's contract is over $19M/year, I can see why Dareus is vocally upset.

Yep.

He definitely can read....it just takes him longer than most, what with his slow eyes and all.

He could try deflating the balls a bit.

Will be interesting to see what Watkins, Woods and Harvin would do with those balls.

Wow!

Maybe Tasker needs glasses. First commentator whom I have actually been embarrassed for.
