You guys have homer goggles on. There is no way we are winning more than 6 games this year, and anyone who is saying we may get 10 wins is absolutely out of their mind. Give me the under all day long. I would love to be wrong though.

Hey, at least we're not the Raiders or the Bengals.

Re-signed with Steelers. http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/11209/1163623-100.stm

I've heard some whispers around that he may have potential as a TE. I think I'd be more interested in that aspect than him as a QB. Whoever said the 1st or 2nd round is clearly out of their mind. Throw in a 5th round bid and see what happens. The risk involved is too big for anything higher.

That is tremendous.

Absolutely. I can't believe no one drafted him. ACC Defensive player of the year before cancer, not to mention a stand-up guy and someone we could all root for. I was hoping we'd take him 4th round and can't believe we passed him on the 5th, 6th, and 7th too. Crazy.

Well, two things I guess. 1) Marcell was a great pick and is a beast. 2) With so many teams addressing QB early, there should be fewer teams in the Luck sweepstakes next year. These teams should not be taking QB's next year in my mind (at least the ones that would draft before or around us). Carolina, Tennessee, Jacksonville, Minn. all took QB's high in the first round. Detroit has Stafford, St. Louis has Bradford and they won't be drafting a QB. I think the sweepstakes comes down to us, Cincy (even though they got Dalton), San Fran (definitely), Arizona, Oakland, Miami, Washington, Seattle, Denver, K.C., Cleveland. Even some of those may be happy with their QB situations (Denver, K.C., Cleveland). A lot of those teams should be better than us next year. I think we have a real shot at getting him next year and I think our front office agrees so why bother drafting a QB this year?

Mathews was getting thrown all over the field on that drive.

I see us beating Denver, Washington, 50/50 on Cincy and 50/50 on one of the Miami games. That yields us 3 wins next year. (Assuming nothing major in the offseason).

If Matthews is available in the 3rd round I'll be shocked. Don't be surprised if he rises to late 1st and definitely will not get out of the 2nd. I wouldn't mind us taking him with #2. He looked pretty good last night. His brother was thought to be small too but he's worked out pretty well.

Ray Lewis, yes. Good call. I'd argue that Derrick Brooks was the best defensive player on the Bucs that year which is supported by his Defensive MVP award that year (but Sapp was pretty darn good too). But those two are both linebackers, not DE or DT's.

Not to point you out personally but to all similar posters in general - I get so sick of people naming the one or two QB's that won Super Bowls that are the exception from the later rounds and listing the 1st round busts as their arguments against QB with the first pick next year. No one ever mentions the 10's or 100's of QB's picked in rounds 2 and beyond that didn't do squat. The only reason they name the 1st rounders is because they actually heard of them and can remember their names. The fact is (and I'm sure someone with way more time to actually count it up could verify) that a first round QB pick has a way better chance of getting to and winning a Superbowl than any other round. Period. Is everyone one going to do it? No, of course not. Are there going to be ones from other rounds to do so? Yes, of course there is. But lets play the percentages, please. In fact, lets draft more than one QB in the draft and increase our chances even more of finding a great one. In addition, to all those people saying that we need a DT or DE or O-line more than a QB. You're f'n nuts. Please name any single player of any of those positions that has led their teams to superbowls? Have they helped, sure, but truly led a team to one? I can't recall one. QB, on the other hand, is stacked with these types of players. Open your eyes. There is a reason we haven't been anything since the mid 90's (even counting when we had the best D in the league in the late 90's), no stud QB like Jimbo. Done, end of discussion, draft a QB please. Luck, Newton, Mallett, Gabbert, Locker (hesitantly), I don't care but get someone. Thanks for your time.

Clements did well for us while he was here too. I have a little theory on Spiller though. I think they may be saving him. With the extremely short life span on a running back's career, why waste him on an obvious re-building year? Could it be that they are waiting until they have a better team around him to get him more touches? Just a thought, probably over thinking it and he stinks.

Last population census was 2000. 2002 was economic census for businesses. Next census is this year.

Next they are going to sign up Rick Vaughn to be QB, Willy Mays Hays to be WR, and Pedro Cerano to play DE. They have no need to tank to move the team. He can just do it if he wants.

Looks like he transfered here because got booted off his PA H.S. team and suspended on it the year before. I wonder what's up with that? http://www.gametimepa.com/ts-ya/ci_13570599

So all we need is a secondary better then the Vikings, a front 7 like the vikings, a franchise Quarterback and a good play caller. Sounds pretty easy to me. Can't believe it's taken 15+ years to figure that one out. For some reason, I think that's a recipe that every single team in the league knows and is striving for.

Collinsworth is so bad that I even have to turn off the volume when I'm playing Madden.

Even reactionary to being called "reactionary"! It's pretty clear that the NFC East is the best division in football with the AFC North, AFC South, and NFC North all probably better than the AFC East as well. But it is all purely subjective.

The problem with LT's in free agency is that if they were that good they would not hit FA, the team they were on would keep them....unless you're the Bills where you let a Pro Bowl LT out of your hands. I know a lot of people think it was good that Peters left, but I think that's crap and from what I saw of him this year he looked pretty darn good. We should have cut the check.

It may not hurt too bad when it happens but it hurts like hell for the next week or so when it is swollen and you can't even bend your leg. There is no way he would play even with a brace if it's an ACL tear. It would give out every time he put pressure on it. You should know that if your tore both of yours.

Cots - Manning Patriots - Brady Chargers - Rivers Saints - Brees Packers - Rodgers Vikings - Favre Steelers - Big Ben Eagles - McNabb Cowboys - Romo Can anyone see any other team winning a Super Bowl this year? Why, it's all about the quarterback. We need to get LUCKY, yes LUCKY and get a quarterback that turns into one of these guys. No matter how great of a talent evaluater you are, you just never know until they get on the field. I think we're due for some luck.
