It was all Goodell's fault. Even back then he was in bed with BB.

Thats exactly how i take it. How anyone can call marshawn an ego maniac is beyond me. The guy wont even do an interview to avoid the press. Cam is an ego maniac.

We saw how that ended

OH. MY.

Despite all the antics, I really like Marshawn. He seems to be a kid at heart and though he has made some mistakes he appears to have his act together now.

It's truly puzzling at times how the coaching carousel works in the NFL. Some coaches seem untouchable, despite their lack of success. Look at Jeff Fisher. Marvin Lewis has had success in the regular season but has yet to win a single playoff game with a super talented roster. How a coach like Mike Mularkey is even in head coaching discussions offends the mind.

100% agree. But if you think about it the same thought process is typically extended to all aspects of society; it's the nostalgic "back then" syndrome. Back then people were kinder; back then there was less crime; back then children showed more respect; back then life was simpler; back then, etc. etc. etc. Essentially, everything was better "back then." Greed isn't a novel development of the 21st century - it's innate human nature. It has been around since the dawn of man. Goodell's NFL did not invent it, nor perfect it. It's the same today as it was 40yrs ago the main difference (in my opinion) is the 24/7 news coverage constantly reminding you of it today.

I feel that Wade is one of the most underappreciated coaches in the NFL.

In my opinion, the part I highlighted is nothing more than a nostalgia that some sports fan have about the sport he/she loves. All of the major leagues have some fans who have the same gripe: the game/league was better X number of decades ago. The same people (not necessarily you) probably think the world was all sunshine and rainbows 40-50yrs ago too - the good ole days. It wasn't. I love the NFL. It's the best sports entertainment product there is in the United States. And no, it wasn't better 20yrs ago. The game is faster, the players are stronger, and the coaches are as good as ever.

HAHA..well done. sounds awesome. Question: are Buckeye brownies the same as just "Buckeye's" (peanut butter balls dipped in chocolate)? MMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmMMMMMMMmmmm

The "luck" disparity you mention between the NFL and baseball can't be proven one way or another. You say luck plays little part in MLB in the grand scheme of things compared to NFL bc of the greater number of games involved. But that statement is directly dependent on the assumption that "good luck" or "bad luck" eventually even out over a MLB season specifically because of the duration of the season. That is nothing more than an assumption. Something important here as well would be defining exactly what "luck" is. We will find such a task extremely difficult.

Exactly. Well said. Everyone is pointing the finger at football. We don't know the cause yet. There may be an association but not a direct causation.

But i thought there was a wide ranging conspiracy between the NFL and the Pats* for the Pats* to win every SB? Maybe the conspiracy will now extend to Cam.

It's not pretending, it's a FACT. Our schedule was ridiculously easy. Our "SOS" was pretty much blown out of proportion by only 4 teams (yes, 4 teams): the Pats, the Chiefs, the Bengals and the Jets. Those 4 teams alone went a combined 45 - 19. And we obviously played the Pats and Jets twice, so those 4 teams constituted 6 games. The combined record of the remaining teams we faced: Indy: 8-8 Fins (2x): 6-10 Giants: 6-10 Titans: 3-13 Jags: 5-11 Texans: 9-7 Eagles: 7-9 Skins: 9-7 Boys: 4-12 That's a combined record of: 57 - 87 OTHER THAN THE 4 TEAMS MENTIONED, ONLY 2 TEAMS WE FACED ALL SEASON HAD A WINNING RECORD. Fact is, we may go years before we face such an easy schedule again.

Did you read the entire article?

At end of the day you have to win those games. Pitt made the playoffs with their 3rd string Qb starting a bunch of games. Jags are going to keep getting better bc of their QB thats a fact. But hopefully so will we.

The Bills already lost to this brutal Jags team you keep referencing.

Indeed my friend.

Look at it this way. What is Robert Woods capable of? Last year he put up 699yds; 5TD's. Considering he's 23yrs old and in the thick of his prime, I'd say he can still do better. Lets look at other #2 WR's on playoff teams: Bengals' Marvin Jones: 816; 4TD's Pitt's Wheaton: 749; 5 TD's Texans' Cecil Shorts: 484; 2 TD's Chiefs' Albert Wilson: 451; 2 TD's Skins' Garcon: 777; 6TD's Packers' D. Adams: 446; 3TD's Panthers' T. Ginn Jr. as the #1 this season: 739; 10TD's; or Corey Brown as the #2: 447; 4TD Cardinals Floyd: 849; 6TD's Woods' numbers last season are right there with almost all of these #2's around the league (and Woods played on a bad team, not a playoff team with HOF's passing him the ball)...same thing applies to Atlanta, Dallas, etc. Again, he's 23yrs old and his arrow can still point up. For people that claim they want an upgrade over Woods: where is that "upgrade" coming from? Furthermore, in this run-first offense with a superstar #1 WR in Sammy Watkins, just how many chances do you think this new #2 is going to actually get?

In all fairness to Woods. Theres a reason why hes a "#2" and not "#1". How many second WR in this league demand double coverage? When AJ Green goes down are they double teaming Sanu? Same thing in Dallas. Same thing detroit. Same thing in Houston. Etc etc. All these teams suffer tremendously when their star WR goes down. If Clay can step up his game, Sammy, Clay, and woods are more than enough. Getting Clay to perform at the level of a top 5-7 TE would do wonders for this offense

Someone should do a study on the effects all these supplements these players take since they are 15yrs old. High school football players have an entire GNC cabinet in their lockers.

I don't think the Broncos will win. Like others have said, the Patriots are finally healthy at WR and it makes a world of difference now for Brady. The Pats also have an underrated defense - no superstars really but they play well as a unit. Only way I see Broncos winning is if they catch a couple of breaks on tipped balls for turnovers or win big on special teams.

BAHAHAH. Maybe he slept with the kid's mom?

Talk about being dramatic.
