2010 NFL Off-Season Thread

[Fallon]

True on the Homer routine

BUT
they talked at length about how he was going to proudly shake hands and they were following him the whole time and he knew it. . He should have sought him out and made it happen to avoid homers like me calling a spade a spade.

Kyle Orton is now 5-0. That defies logic...

Kyle Orton is now 5-0. That defies logic...

nobody wants to believe in Neckbeard, but every bit of evidence points to him being an above average QB. He stepped in his rookie year and won a ton of games for the Bears. Everyone wants to put that on the defense, but what QB wins a lot of games WITHOUT an above average defense?

I'm not Cutler bashing here, but while you might lose a game because Orton isn't the gunslinging type in the last 2 minutes, won't you conversely lose a few because the gunslinger throws you right out of the game ie. the season opening Packer game?

[RhinoinMN]

Randall Cunningham in 1998.

I do agree though. It is very difficult to win games without a decent defense.

[King Hippos Bandaid]

I say we drop the Rams Raiders Chiefs and Browns

and merge the UFL Teams

they also can go 1-15 or 0-16

They might have won the opening game with Orton, but then very likely lose the next three with Orton.

Let me put it this way: The Broncos would still be good with Cutler. The Bears would be terrible with Orton. The Broncos clearly have a better overall team than the Bears at this point and as such you can plug in an average quarterback like Neckbeard and win. The Bears aren't as good and therefore needed an above average quarterback.

How does this make ME a dickhead?
Someone should have alerted CBS to this and not have the roving camera following him and discussing the post game handshake like it was a MidEast peace conference.

Wrong is relative. If we were held to the need to be right when posting their would be very few posts.

[foodcourtdruide]

Ray Lewis's hit on Ochocinco was extremely dirty. He not only led with his helmet, but left his feet. The NFL is so annoying. You get 15 yard penalties if you breath on a quarterback the wrong way, and a linebacker can nearly decapitate a WR and gets the same penalty? Why not throw guys out of games?

I wouldn't undo the trade. I like Cutler, and it was time for a change of scenery for Orton. Plus, Cutler is undeniably an upgrade.

But so much of this is perception. Favre is the resurrected genius up in Minny, but don't they have better talent than Denver does? Wasn't their schedule weaker? He had to complete a desperation heave in the last seconds to beat San Fran, who just got WAXED at home by ATL, and he's the 4th Quarter Savior!

Meanwhile, Neckbeard goes 35/48 with 2 TDs and a meaningless pick against the PATS, and he's lucky? I know he's not Cutler, he's not Favre.

But I'd take him over Romo. How about that?

(and don't give me "the Broncos have better talent. He's got Marshall.)

[Fallon]

How does this make ME a dickhead?
You care about the handshake too much. This isn't little league, if someone wants to get off the field after a win or a loss who cares?

It's not like other sports anyways where it's convenient to do so. It seems like it's a pain in the ass, EVERYONE is on the field afterward, players, media, staff. Who wants to go search out a guy who's dressed like every other guy from his teams sidelines?

[TheMojoPin]

(and don't give me "the Broncos have better talent. He's got Marshall.)

Hey, Marshall's the guy doing the most to make him look so good.

I dropped Johnny Knox from my fantasy teem, just to be safe.

[Ritalin]

Alright, thinking about it, I still don't think it's going to happen, BUT:

If TO is in his contract year, it might not be so bad. We could use a guy like him, but will he stfu and play ball? For 3/4 of the season?

Shit, I don't know.

I know right now that we're not favorites to get out of the NFC to the Super Bowl, so you have to ask yourself, what could we do/get to make us better?

[TheMojoPin]

Fuck yeah, get T.O.. If he throws a tantrum his contract is up after this season. It's a contract year and the guy still has talent and he wants to win. If it was a multi-year deal I'd be wary, but for 11 games? Do it yesterday.

he has average talent at best now and he doesnt care about winning, he cares about T.O. looking good. He's the Sidney Dean of football, he'd rather look good and lose than look bad and win.

He's a spaz but he's not an idiot. He knows that this is his last shot at a big payday, plus it's pretty fucking hard for a receiver to "look good" and not giving his team a good chance at winning the football game. How the fuck would a WR "look good" and help cause the team to lose?

[TripleSkeet]

If Chicago has a chance, theyd be stupid not to grab TO. And this is coming from an Eagles fan.

looking good doesnt help cause a team to lose, i never said that. i said he'd rather look good by say putting up an 8 catches, 120 yard and a TD game and lose the game 35-28, then look bad by going for zero catches and winning 9-6.

Who the fuck cares? Any player out there wants a big game that makes them look good. His "per game ego" isn't going to trump his desire to get one more big contract. He's not going to fuck that up.

i dont care, you were the one that said he wants to win. im telling you he doesnt care about winning, he cares about how he looks. and whoever gives him that one more big contract, and thats a big if in my mind anyway, is a complete idiot. can i get an aging WR with a deminished skill set and an absolute cancer? awesome, sign me up.

He wants to win because being on a winning team automatically makes him look better. Is that really that difficult to comprehend? The dude wants to be on a winning team in his contract year. And I'm not saying I want the Bears to give him a big contract: they'd be trading for him for this season only.

Yeah, that's the thing. He has every incentive to play nice and play hard. I hate to say it, but the idea is growing on me.

Cutler is just the kind of QB to play with him. He doesn't take any shit from any one.

And, I'm remembering a couple of games ago when his consecutive streak ended, he would not take the press bait and make an outlandish comment. I was semi-impressed with that.

He might not be top 5 top 10 in the league right now, but he's better than what we've got. Shit, TO, Greg Olsen, Knox and Hester, with Forte out of the backfield?

Ok.

Wrong..wrong...wrong...wrong...WRONG.

The Eagles were a good team that desperately needed a GOOD wide receiver. He was the best out there, so they signed him. Owens is the reason they dominated the NFC that year, and hes the reason they went to the Super Bowl. AND he came back early from a broken leg and was the best Eagle player on the field that day. If the Eagles win that game, hes the MVP easily.

His greedy fucking agent is what made him look like an asshole. The fans LOVED him here. And alot of us still do. His biggest mistake was listening to that fuckhead agent of his instead of just coming back and playing. His agent had him convinced the Eagles were gonna cut him before his 3rd year, but the way he was playing there was no way they would have because the fans wouldve went apeshit.

If the Bears want a legit shot at beating a team like the Vikings they would get whatever weapons they can, and even with diminished skills hes one of the Top 10 receivers in the league. I repeat, if they can get him theyd be FUCKING RETARDED not to.

[TheMojoPin]

the Eagles were good without him, they lost like what? 3 straight NFC title games. they didnt need him to get where they went. they won that last NFC title game without him then lost the Super Bowl with him.

dont give me the a lot of you Eagles fans still love him. I spent four years at college in the Philly area right around the time the eagles had him and the second he was gone I literally saw news clips of people BURNING T.O. jerseys. i'm sure there are still a few fans that do dig him, but you arent the majority.

now, his agent made him look like an asshole? ok, i can kind of see that. i think its a little bit of a cop out to say that T.O. has no decision making power of his own over his own life so he just listens to everything Rosenhaus says and like a robot obeys it all. at the end of the day from what i remember was he was demanding more money, then the Eagles sent him home to do sit ups in his driveway. he looked like an asshole.

Youre not going to win an Eagles argument with me, I can tell you that now.

First, before he got there the Eagles were the typical good but not great NFL team that could win games by grinding it out. Yet inexplicably, they ran a pass oriented offense with Kmart brand wide receivers. That last NFC title game where they made Ricky Manning Jr. look like Ronnie Lott was enough. Fans had enough. They wanted a wide receiver and that was it.

TO MADE that team into a great team. Just like Pete Rose in 1979-80 helped make a really good Phillies team into a great team. He brought swagger and confidence to a team that hardly showed any. And the fucking fans loved him. And without him, they never wrap up the NFC the way they did, and probably dont get home field advantage in the playoffs. And without that home field, they DO NOT make that Super Bowl.

As far as the douchebags burning his jersey, well the news loves to show the stupid fuck Eagles fans on tv that make the real fans like myself look bad. The kind of jerkoffs that do E-A-G-L-E-S chants and Phillies games and get into fistfights with themselves. The only things those dickheads know about football is what the organization tells them. Like we dont need a middle linebacker when Trotter left. Or that our wideouts were good enough with Mitchell, Lewis and Pinckston.

And Im not saying TO isnt to blame for looking stupid. He shares plenty of blame. But if you are going to blame someone for him looking bad you dont blame the Eagles, you blame Drew Rosenhaus.

[KnoxHarrington]

I'm looking at this week's schedule, and damn is it bad. The only really quality game I see is the Giants/Saints game, and it's a 1PM game, which strikes me as odd. I guess that the schedule makers didn't anticipate it being such a big game when the TV times were handed out, but I'm surprised they didn't shift the game over to 4PM. I'll get the Bengals/Texans game here, which I'll probably at least monitor, because I want to see if the Bengals can finally dominate a game. I'd love them to have a game wrapped up before the last minute.

The only 4PM game that looks interesting at all is the Seahawks/Cardinals game. It's obvious they were setting the New England/Tennessee game up to be the showcase game of this week, but that game will probably suck too.

The Sunday night game is Bears/Falcons, which might be pretty good.

The Monday night game is Denver/San Diego, so I'll probably go for the ALCS instead.

This is the third week I get NY team first game. I'm nowhere near NY.
And there was no other game on the other network.
Giants team 3 weeks now.

Ill try to explain this one more time:
You have your div teams that you play twice (6 games)
Then you play a preset NFC division (4 games)
Then you play a preset AFC division (4 games)

Thats 14. Then the last 2 games are scheduled based on how you finished last season

Yeah, the NFL schedule is far more locked in than people think it is.

And, by the way, yes, the Saints are for real.

Exactly.

The Giants play the the AFC West and NFC South this year.

The 2 unaccounted for games that Snoogans mentioned are against the teams that finished first in the NFC Central and the NFC West, because they finished first in their division.

The 3rd place team in the NFC East will play the 3rd place team from last year in the NFC Central and NFC West, etc.

I'll get the Bengals/Texans game here, which I'll probably at least monitor, because I want to see if the Bengals can finally dominate a game. I'd love them to have a game wrapped up before the last minute.

Nope.

[Ritalin]

Just turned on the Jints game.

Whoa.

....and Bears 31, Falcons 17

I hate Reggie Bush. Cheated at SC, then

Drew Brees' numbers at the half: 17/20, 247 yds, 3 TD, 0 INT.

That's a 157.7 QB rating, just shy of perfect.

This is the third week I get NY team first game. I'm nowhere near NY.
And there was no other game on the other network.

Wow, KC v. Was so bad it broke the TV signal. At least they switched to a good game (Min v. Bal).

Come on Baltimore

Drew Brees' numbers at the half: 17/20, 247 yds, 3 TD, 0 INT.

That's a 157.7 QB rating, just shy of perfect.

Don't forget no sacks, no hit and only a few hurries.

That 3rd incompletion wasn'y until about 2 minutes left in the half.

One of today's Jets team captains is... Danny Woodhead?

Holy shit, JaMarcus Russell just completed a 86 yard bomb for a touchdown.

I think that pretty much doubles his passing yardage for the season.

[ihaveabadmonkey]

note to self - never leave Brees on the bench again. stupid me for thinking the Giants D would hold him down a little

[JimBeam]

note to self - never leave Brees on the bench again. stupid me for thinking the Giants D would hold him down a little

Have you had him all season ?

He gave you nothing in his last 2 games so it was only a matter of time that he'd get back on track.

[KnoxHarrington]

I am actually embarassed for the Titans in this game.

Damn, is this an assbeating.

[TjM]

I'm so sorry Luke you will find our Brady is fully operational!

[disneyspy]

I am actually embarassed for the Titans in this game.

Damn, is this an assbeating.

and getting more embarassed,44 points in the first half,this is getting epic

Cheering for the Patriots at this point is like cheering on the gang rape of a retarded girl.

In other words, hilarious.

[epo]

The Tennessee Titans are now on the clock...

And Brady is back out for the 2nd half.

Keepin' it classy, Belichick.

i hate that its cool for other teams to do it but when the Pats do this everyone yells at Bill. you're a fucking NFL program, if you cant stop another team thats your problem. you deserved to be embarrassed. nobody should have pity taken on them at this level of competition.

[JimBeam]

And Brady is back out for the 2nd half.

I see your point but I also hope the refs allow the game to be a little more physical and don't allow the Brady Vagina rule to stay in play while he's out there in a blowout.

[TheGameHHH]

Let's hope for a few big hits on Brady.

exactly, and thats fair. if theyre going to go out there and run up the score then they should be able to live with the consequences of one of their big time players getting hurt.

[ScottFromGA]

oh.

Go Bears.

Again WTF is "Run up the score" It's fucking pro football. Also they took him out. Honestly if you thing running up the score is bad don't fucing watch sports

[hanso]

Earl is going to walk away with the Ron and Fez fantasy football title just by having Brees alone.

Lol I saw the replay it wa a TE up the middle with Eagles falling around him.

[KnoxHarrington]

Lol I saw the replay it wa a TE up the middle with Eagles falling around him.

Yeah, when I saw the replay the TD scored because the Eagles had basically no one in the backfield.

And why would you put anyone out there against the Raiders anyway? I'm not even going to rip them for that.

[TheGameHHH]

Again WTF is "Run up the score" It's fucking pro football. Also they took him out. Honestly if you thing running up the score is bad don't fucing watch sports

when did i say it was bad?

[JimBeam]

I mean Brady is comin back rom an injury of course the first game he seems on they trot him out. They want to keep his mojo goin

That's fine but then don't complain when he takes a hit that hurts him.

An " It's Pro Football " line coming from a Patriots/Brady fan ?

That's funny. I'd think it was co-ed touch football anytime somebody gets near Brady in the backfield.

[JimBeam]

The Bills/Jets are exchanging interceptions.

Correction, the Jets' one was called back.

[TjM]

That's fine but then don't complain when he takes a hit that hurts him.

Fuckt that.

It's they sucked for a fucking month and ther first good game asshole fucking cunts are bitching. Thats where Im coming from.

[JimBeam]

Hey I wanted the Saints to put more points on the board against the Jets because they were doing a lot of chirping.

I wanted more points today because I thought that roughing the QB call on Manning was a little lame.

I'm all for lots of points but I do know they can come with consequences.

[TjM]

I think Dave will keep Brady

[IMSlacker]

Lol I saw the replay it wa a TE up the middle with Eagles falling around him.

The prick I'm playing in fantasy football picked up Zach Miller this morning because both of his TE's had a bye week.

139 yards and a TD.

Bastard.

[JimBeam]

The worst thing about the Patriots being up 59-0 is that Welker has 2 TDs and 100+ yards.

If your team gives up 1 TD, nevermind 2, to Welker you should get the 1st 5 picks in the draft.

[KnoxHarrington]

Holy shit, the Raiders won.

I'm very scared.

[foodcourtdruide]

Holy shit, the Raiders won.

I'm very scared.

Go Raiders.

[hanso]

Go Bills

Ugh wide right


Its OT

[JimBeam]

Delhomme had another great day.

9 of 17 for 65 yards with 1 TD and 2 INTs.

A fantastic 42.2 QB rating.

[KnoxHarrington]

The Jets don't want to win this game, do they?

[Ritalin]

This game should end on a safety

[JimBeam]

I flipped channels.

What did they do on that 1st possesion in OT ?

[epo]

The Jets don't want to win this game, do they?

Nobody does.

This might be football hell.

[KnoxHarrington]

Nobody does.

This might be football hell.

I don't want to hear shit about how great Sanchez is the rest of the season.

[JimBeam]

6 INTs.

Wow.

[KnoxHarrington]

I flipped channels.

What did they do on that 1st possesion in OT ?

The Jets won the toss, and drove down to what looked like FG range, but then they tried a fake FG -- probably not called, a result of a fucked-up snap -- and the Bills picked it off.

And that's the start of the hilarity of this OT. They should just turn off the announcers and just play "Yakety Sax" over this shit.

[epo]

I don't want to hear shit about how great Sanchez is the rest of the season.

5 INTS...against the Bills.

Uggh.

[Ritalin]

Catch

[KnoxHarrington]

Catch

Hmmm, I dunno...they usually do reverse if the ball is moving in the receiver's hands.

[Kevin]

Maybe the next time the Jets trade picks and players for QB.... They should make sure he has been out in the cold once in this life.

[JimBeam]

5 INTS...against the Bills.

Uggh.

6

[epo]

6

5. The field goal holder Weatherford has the other INT.

Either way, Sanchez's QB rating for the season is now 56.7.

[KnoxHarrington]

6

Yeah, 5 on Sanchez, and one on the kicker in that fucked-up fake FG they did earlier.

This game's gonna end in a tie.

[TheGameHHH]

I'm gonna personally kick Lindell in the vag if she misses this field goal

[Kevin]

5.
Either way, Sanchez's QB rating for the season is now 56.7.

Jamarcaus Russel is still jelouse.

[KnoxHarrington]

Good. Both teams deserved to lose that mess of a game, but I think the Bills deserved it a little less.

[Mitch&Murray]

Same
Old

[Ritalin]

Go Bears

[JohnCharles]

Should I celebrate the Bills win or just assume a loss next game?

[underdog]

The worst thing about the Patriots being up 59-0 is that Welker has 2 TDs and 100+ yards.

If your team gives up 1 TD, nevermind 2, to Welker you should get the 1st 5 picks in the draft.

What?

[JimBeam]

I despise Wes Welker.

[underdog]

I despise Wes Welker.

That's fine, but to act like he's some shitty WR is ridiculous.

[epo]

What?

He wants Dallas, Miami and the NY Jets to all get the first 5 picks in the draft.

[JimBeam]

He's not great by any means.

He had 100+ catches last year with 2 TDs.

There were WRs that had half as many catches as him and still had more yards.

I just don't think he's as good as many people seem to think.

Catching the underneath passes that are usually thrown to RBs doesn't make you good.

It just means the secondary isn't much paying attention to you.

[Fallon]

And Brady is back out for the 2nd half.

Keepin' it classy, Belichick.

It's not his fault the Titans fucking suck.

Brady's still trying to get his timing down, this was perfect practice.

[Fallon]

He's not great by any means.

He had 100+ catches last year with 2 TDs.

There were WRs that had half as many catches as him and still had more yards.

I just don't think he's as good as many people seem to think.

Catching the underneath passes that are usually thrown to RBs doesn't make you good.

It just means the secondary isn't much paying attention to you.

Welker had 111 receptions for 1,165 yards last season, 9th in the league. 112 receptions in 2007 for 1,175 yards, 2nd in the league.

Touchdowns aren't everything, he's doing that as the #2 receiver on a team that passes to more players than any other team.

[JimBeam]

Exactly.

I don't think a just over 10 yards per catch average is that great for an NFL WR regardless of whether he's the #1 or #4 guy.

And the fact that #2, #3 and #4 WRs on other teams have more TDs and yards than him, with fewer receptions, is telling.

He's not getting open and making these catches in traffic. He's being ignored amd taking advantage which is whyat he's supposed to do.

But don't think he's elite in any way just because he catches 100+ passes.

[Fallon]

[JimBeam]

Touchdowns aren't everything, he's doing that as the #2 receiver on a team that passes to more players than any other team.

That's just simply not true.

Last year the Saints through to 16 players, with 11 of them catching 10+ passes.

The Patriots threw to 11 players with only 6 of them catching 10 + passes.

The Saints had 11 players catch a TD and the Patriots only had 5.

And take your pick as to who the Saints' #2 WR is they had more TDs and a better Yards Per Reception Average then Welker while again catching less than half as many balls.

[Ritalin]

Wes Welker is Wayne Crebet is Tom Waddle.

[hanso]

Does he leave the light on for folks?


“We'll leave the light on for you.”®

[JimBeam]

Those guys never bothered me.

I think I saw some footage of Welker one time talking a lot of smack and chirping and it really really bothered me, seeing as much as he sucks.

[GregoryJoseph]

6-6 so far in my picks.

The past few weeks have been brutal.

[JimBeam]

I sat out the weekly pool at my job for this week due to my last 2 awful weeks.

I went from a Delhomme INT of winning it 4 weeks ago to maybe getting 10 right combined the 2 weeks prior to this one.

That pigeon had better kick coverage than the Saints today.

today you are gonna rip the Saints? Really?

[JimBeam]

It's the one thing they did poorly.

Giving up those kinda big yards could hurt them down the line.

Its also what makes that final score look less dominating than it was.

[JimBeam]

Interesting stat :

As it is, the Redskins are the first team in NFL history to face six consecutive winless opponents, but they haven't managed to take advantage.

[Ritalin]

Damn

He was ripping Wes Welker today, too.

I can't wait for his diatribe against the Phillies and their play today.

[Freitag]

I am so, so, so glad I didn't drink the Jets kool-aid earlier this season. Sanchez isn't that good and his stats prove that. He's a rookie QB in the league, and people were pumping him up like he was throwing 300/3 TD a game.

I was excited about the defense, but after the showing in Miami, still cautious.

This team needs a rebuild. They've got the parts to win - just need better strategy.

AND STOP THROWING TO DUSTIN KELLER, SANCHEZ.

I couldn't understand that at all. Edwards was catching stuff right and left, and Sanchez still threw at Keller, who was dropping all day.

Tis true about Sanchez but even after 5 ints they were still one bobbled hold away from winning the game with a kick.

They aren't a playoff team, but the arrow points up. The question is, can Sanchez mature before his line gets old on him?

[King Hippos Bandaid]

maybe the Jets should have gone the Carson Palmer route and picked up Garcia or someone to QB this year while Sanchez waited in the wings.....


thanks Philly, that cesspool of a city has f'ed me over , I am kicked out of all 3 knockout pools

Im sure all of your O Line woes will be fixed just in time to play the Gians

[JimBeam]

Yea Welker, Tom Brady, Moss, they were all shit today

Yeah because that makes sense.

I do remember saying something about Brady and Moss.

Oh wait no I didn't.

You comment on every single minute detail of Rutgers football in the college football thread and yet I can't complain about the 1 thing that I feel my team did poorly in a game ?

My comments on Welker were about his career and not one game.

Sorry that he can't do as much on the other side of possibly the #1 WR in football as some guys do on the other side of less highly regarded WRs.

[Snoogans]

I was commenting sarcastically to underdog. He was the one who called you out for killing welker.

And you noticed I killed Rutgers when they lost. If they ever won a game 59-0 I would not be in there tryin to find shit they did wrong. You are just insane

[JimBeam]

But the Saints didn't win by 59 points so as a fan I should be concerned that maybe against a team like the Patriots giving up 281 yards in kicks could be more costly than it was against the Giants.

Insane would be reading my post and interpreting that I called the Patriots play into question ( outside of keeping Brady in too long ).

As far as they go I didn't point out anything they did wrong more to the point I mocked the Titans for their performance by allowing Welker to score as many TDs in that game as he did all of last year.

[Snoogans]

again, Underdog brought up you killin Wes Welker, I was not the one who said he saw that. My only comment to you was about the Saints. Stop tryin to fight with me

[Boogie in Va]

Looks like the Skins front office is making the change that should have already been made.

ASHBURN, Va. (AP) - - From calling Bingo to calling plays, Sherman Lewis is taking Jim Zorn's favorite duty.

The Washington Redskins said Monday that Lewis will take over the play calling for an offense that is averaging only 13.2 points per game.

The front office stripped Zorn of the play-calling role following Sunday's 14-6 loss to previously winless Kansas City. The Redskins are 2-4, and they have failed to score a touchdown in two of their home games.

Two weeks ago, Lewis was enjoying retirement in Michigan, calling Bingo games at a senior center and delivering Meals on Wheels. He previously spent 22 years as an NFL assistant and was originally hired as a consultant for the Redskins' offense.

The move is a blow for Zorn, who feels he had a knack for calling plays.

nope, the Lions can beat 5-10 teams in the league when Calvin Johnson and Stafford are playing


they can put up good Offensive #s, they put 28 on the board against the Saints and Bears

I sucked yesterday anyway, my 2 other choices where Jacksonville who I thought would rebound at home and the Eagles crushing the Raiders

just a bad week in general

thank god I dont bet football

The only trend I see is you picking teams that are playing the 3 or 4 of the worst teams in football. KC, Oakland, Detroit and St. Louis. I use the same trend in my suicide pool.

As a former bookie let me clue you in on something. Teams very rarely cover 15+ point spreads. So that trend is not one to follow if you want to make money.

Looks like the Skins front office is making the change that should have already been made.

So the Patriots would rather have Seau playing than a healthy Adalius Thomas. And they cut a contributing member of the team.

I never have any idea what this team is doing.

I bet Goodell comes down hard on him for this one.

You must have to be a 1st class pain in the ass to get ticketed by local cops as an athlete in your hometown.

So you release a guy, then resign him the next day and release someone else.

I do like the AFL Crimson Tide style helmets with the # on them


are the Chargers done, do they need to re tool


LT may be Done, but they have Sproles
QB is good
1 WR is good
TE is good

is this a Norv issue , or does the defense suck

I dont watch em enough on D to make judgment

I think Norv's had his chance. If it's me, I'm going to get Chucky. He'd take
it with Rivers there, and he'd love to beat on Al Davis twice a year. I'd get a strong GM for him, though.

I guess there were no trades before todays 4 p.m. deadline.

I wish the NFL would do more to push teams to trade players more.

I also wish they'd extend the trading deadline until week 10 or 11, so more teams would definitely be out and you'd see some awesome moves.

they would have to change the rules. If you trade a guy you have to take a cap hit of his entire remaining prorated bonus. Thats why guys with a few years left NEVER get dealt

the reason they do it in week 6, or one of the reasons i guess, is cuz usually (this year withstanding) most teams aren't completely out of it. if they wait til 10 or 11, they fear a lot of teams will sell everything and tank and shift the competitive balance too much.

Yeah, I figured there was some sort of financial reason for it. They need to get rid of it.

Yeah, but it would actually benefit the losing team in the long run.

[KnoxHarrington]

So I'm watching SportsCenter, and they have this little segment where they read comments from fans. And one of them is from a Vikings fan, accusing ESPN of "hating on" Favre.

What the fuck channel is that douche watching?
