2020 Our Year For Sure

How do the Pats* look when they don't know 75% of their opponent's defensive calls?

Well done

Yes, sir. http://www.stadiumwall.com/index.php?s=&am...t&p=1099077 Now, squirm your way out of this one.

Yep. James should be cut, so Youboty gets the job to start with based on experience. McKelvin has alot to prove.

You didn't hear? Trent sacrificed his powers for the good of mankind, seeing in Peters a being even more noble than he. Trent is a mere mortal now, and can't even SURVIVE without the new Holy One protecting his blind side.

oh gimme a hell yeah

Its good to see that he put up over 1400 yards and 8 TDs last year, amidst all the "overrated" talk.

Good thing you're not Ralph.

I don't know if the AFC will be as tough as its been in recent years. Pittsburgh's pass rush is all but gone, and their D is weak now, so they've become vastly overrated. In Indy, Manning is banged up and Starvin' Marvin has very little left in the tank. Brady's banged up, and you've got to wonder how long the old guys can get it done in New England*. Not only that, but they now have to play on a level field, as opposed to knowing 75% of the opponent's plays before lining up. And without Merriman (as they will be at some point, more likely than not), San Deigo's D goes from dominant to merely good, and with Gates banged up and no alternative to Tomlinson on offense, who knows. The traditionally dominant teams in the AFC have more issues than usual this year, and the door is open for teams like Buffalo and Houston to step up and stake a claim. EDIT: On topic, yeah, I'd be thrilled with any playoff appearance. I'd certainly be devastated for a couple weeks after the playoff loss, but later on when I reflect over the season, I'd be happy and encouraged.

Very funny show. Lot of pop culture satires and what not...Seth Green's a clever guy.

He's convinced Peters will demand a trade at the end of the year. Don't ask me why.

They haven't heard from Peters, its just some guy in the front office throwing some speculation out there. We should still be prepared for life without the Holy One.

Yeah. Thats exactly what I was saying. I can see you understand my point.

What principle? Again, if Peters makes this season an exact replica of his play last season, the Bills will pay him over the offseason. They just want to see more than a year of Pro Bowl-calibre play before making him one of the highest-paid players in the league. 1) We don't know what kind of shape he's in. The injury probably effected his conditioning early in the offseason, so getting into camp could have helped him get back in game shape. 2) He also has to learn a new offense, and he's put himself way behind the learning curve. Eleven days from the opener, and he hasn't as much as opened a playbook or spoken to his offensive coordinator. 3) The usual process of working off rust and getting used to the speed of the game, which every player goes through in training camp and preseason, hasn't even started yet for Peters. I'm not saying he can't have a great season. I'm just saying the odds of Peters duplicating last year (and therefore getting the contract he wants) have just gone down. That means the statement, "Peters hasn't yet been hurt by this," which was what Mickey said, is completely false in my opinion. He's lowered the chances that he gets what he wants.

I don't think Dockery will get cut.

If Peters can make this season a replica of last season, he will get paid over the offseason. This holdout has lessened the odds that he does that. Therefore, he's less likely to get the monster deal he's after.

I did the same thing. Edwards could have ran on that play if he made that block!

If we're 6-1, I'm fairly certain Walker will indeed be playing some good ball.

Its my understanding the team can go after the signing bonus once a player misses a regular season game.

Thats a tough pill to swallow. I really hope that isn't the case. Lets hope the guy can get his head on straight, recognize he can get the money he wants from THIS franchise if he gets in here and repeats last year...and goes about making it happen. When a franchise catches a break like they did with Peters, you obviously want to take advantage of it.

:handshake:

They should both take blame. Fairchild shouldn't have called the play, and Edwards should understand that taking care of the ball is priority numero uno in that situation. Bad play all around.

So you don't believe Schefter's report?

And Rod Woodson

I'd like to keep both, but I also want to keep 5 CBs, 5 WRs, 5 safeties and 4 TE/FBs, so I don't know if there's room. I'd keep Wright on the roster and put XO on the practice squad.
