I liked the way he immediately labeled the outcome yesterday as nothing more than an empty win. Shows he gets it at the end of the day. A Marrone-head would turn the pats game into a puff piece about first winning record in a decade. He may throw in extra Marrone copy because of his audience but at the same time he isn't afraid to slam Marrone for his failures.

Sammy not getting his yards makes Whaley look bad not Marrone

Mario Williams deserves any credit. Contract did not make sense but he made it work by playing great and staying healthy. Everything would have broken down to disrepair if he pulled even half a Haynesworth.

Though the mad bomber did win two league MVPs after we traded him away for a song, he's not in the Hall of Fame like Lynch will be. That would make him the second worst trade in franchise history.

Have to give the Seahawks credit for finding this superbowl formula. Load up on d and put in an low cost QB who is able to make yards consistently in unconventional ways.

Well now he has 4 playoff appearances in a row with a bottom half QB. Something to be said for stability.

Forgot about this negative consequence of the tragic loss. We can no longer pitch to free agents that we are an up and coming team.

Is there anything stopping pegs from paying $15M/yr?

Ahh. This what if is very similar to the one in '12. What if TJ graham takes the proper turn and we beat NE on the road. Chan stays and maybe even Fitz. Wanny would have had to go and anyone would have vastly improved the D. We'd have a similar D in the top 10 and an O in the top 15. That spells in the playoffs and much better than where we are today.

The answer suggests Doug had raider game in the bag in his mind. With this failure Doug went from hirable anywhere to firable in buffalo.

I agree there's a chasm between the SEC and anything else. Alabama will pound ohio state next week.

24 months after wannestadts 600 600 and two coordinators later...

That would be cool if you could lease a QB for a few years. We could lease Matty Ice to the end of the current window of our D line then ship him back to Atlanta after they have filled out their roster with a bunch of high picks made higher by not having Matty.

This is why we have to thank god ...again ...that Mario is performing up to his giant contract. Would have easily taken down the whole franchise if he didn't.

There is a huge drop off from the top 3 to Brees. The top 3 have a combined 30 straight seasons of winning football. Below the top 3 the QB can't carry the team all by himself. That said I would offer 3 ones to anyone 4-8, Roethlesberger flacco E manning, Ryan. I'd give 2 ones for rivers and maybe stafford and romo. I forgot about luck. I would put him in the top 3 making the top 3 really 4. Who have 33 straight combined winning seasons and can carry a team by themselves

What if we nab the 5 seed. There could be another game!

I have not researched the all 22 film but I suspect defenses are eliminating the wispy Goodwin every play with a near effortless bump and run.

The score 20-19 did not cross my mind.

In the old days at least the field at the Ralph had a huge crown. Center of field several feet above the sidelines. Is that still the case or did they soften the crown.

Every year on this weekend someone posts lamenting no NFL Saturday games after the end of the college season even though it's been almost a decade since the NFL last played these games. So here it is.

That this question has an air of legitimacy is a testament to Mario's incredible performance under the richest ever defensive player contract.

The question is whether he's a bigger cancer than Jeff George. Very similar cancers. George made the playoffs with the Vikings after defenses figured out Cunningham

During the magical run in 04 there was almost no scenario that would get us in with weeks to go. Then the seas began to part and we were in if we only beat the steelers at home when they sat their starters.

Maybe if the refs didn't turn 2 great 3rd down passes defensed into red zone first downs it would have been historic
