I don't know whether we'd be 9-7 with EJ. But I think you'd find a lot of people around here who think that we'd have been 11-5 if we'd have anyone else than the Marrone/Hackett duo play calling in the Denver and Oakland games.

Getting, you know, I into the actual football talk, I have a feeling IK could fit in on some packages, especially the 46 that we were talking about here: http://forums.twobillsdrive.com/topic/179608-46-defense-implemented/page-2 In that, the SLB comes in really as a 5th DE. We have Lawson, but his real talent is sealing the edge on the run and less pass rushing. If you really want to bring the pain in a third and long IK is not a bad choice.

I will say for the record, now that I am in a different state and the statue of limitations is passed, that once in high school, a kid my age decided to rip up my books for fun. When I confronted him, he smirked, pointed to his cheek and said "Lay one on me" I didn't break his jaw, but one punch later and he dropped. Now, this was stupid as hell and I admit it but I'm not sure, if I went back, if I would do it any different.

Honestly, I'm enjoying the Bad News Bears/ Major League vibe right now.

We've tried that. It's not as much fun as you think Colleen.

Brady cam claim all he likes that he cooperated every other way, but doesn't the fact that his answers regarding contact with the equipment managers belie that?

I think the issue is that the CBA allows for binding arbitration on appeals. And the language which includes a "neutral" (IIRC) appears elsewhere and not there. In which case the onus is to prove that it is necessary to undo binding arbitration, which is extraordinarily messy turf. IIRC most of the suspension reductions came from other arbiters on appeal or because the acts were committed before policies were put into place. The personal conduct policy was put into place months before Deflategate. There always has to be a first punishment.

No the way they argue it is this: NFLPA: [Part of the disciplinary process they don't like] is unfair! NFL: You agreed to it. Would you like to give back the extra money you negotiated for so we kept it in? Well tough shat, because you agreed to it. If all business contracts were able to be invalidated because one side gets a better deal they'd be no contracts.

Yeah I'd appreciate that too since we keep getting overwhelmed by Brady shills. It's my understanding that the language of the CBA as written means that Goddell is under no obligation to be impartial or fair.

I've been trolling Pats fans on PFT. one one them accused me of making leaps of logic with the evidence and I was proud of this one:

I'm really excited by Brown. He's really surpassed my expectations. I think the LB corps kind of gets passed over because the D line is so good, but Brown, Bradham and even Lawson make for a pretty darn good group. Whaley hits on LBs.

Oh don't worry. Fitz is reliable. You can always count on an interception from him in the crutch.

Wow. What a ringing endorsement.

Coming from you, I take that seriously. I definitely want to listen.

Agreed. That and possible free agents/trade partners. Sadly STL locked up Foles, who I was hoping for.

Geno attempted to issue a statement but found himself fumbling for words.

What do you mean "used to be?" I hit up Drafttek a lot. And for the record, at this point I'd be happy if Hackenburg fell into our lap Astro. I can dream.

I am laughing so hard at the people who were calling us a circus because we have Rex now. How's things working out for you Bowles?

Hey, it could be worse: Ik could have tried to have a ladies only party or expressed a opinion about a former coach. That would have been a real circus.

I...I...I have no words. I really don't. I honestly thought it was a fake story. Yer up Fitz!

I understand is you wouldn't feel right about it Astro, but I'd be happy to slide a couple of bucks for your hard work. If not, maybe something to get our own site up and running. Seriously, between some of our seasoned posters I think we could do better Bills coverage and analysis than a lot of places do.

Look, I'm hardly Cassel's biggest fan but he has bounced back these last two practices.

I hope that holds. LT had a big resurgence after after a down year in SD.

Oh god, all those quotes got me thinking about the opening of the show Castle : "Cassel!Cassel! Cassel! Cassel! I really am ruggedly handsome!"

It's strange how one good day from Cassel wipes out four straight dreadful practices and one bad practice from EJ wipes out three straight good ones. Again, I'm going to say it: Tyrod has been the one with the fewest bad days. I want EJ to win, but let's not pretend that Cassel has been consistently good.
