Awesome throw geno. Percy already gonna throw him under the bus

Brown has impressed this yr

Yeah. Orton cant get it done. Wherea bills4life

NH FIRST TWO PLAYS UP THE MIDDLE. Fml

My hatred of Jets runs deeper than any other team

I was just going to say that too. Damn its kinda nuts.

Good call. I can totally see that pairing. Anyone want him to retire in B-lo? =) Anyone want him to retire in B-lo? =)

Looks that way. Winning solves everything though. Players like Harvin and Lynch grow stale once the losses start piling up.

ESPN's Chris Mortensen reports the Seahawks have "grown tired" of Marshawn Lynch's "ways," and he's not expected back with the team in 2015. http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nfl/4186/marshawn-lynch

Without seeing the pool its impossible to 100% analyze who he should take but the cowboys play skins again and jax. Id personally keep the cowgirls for one of those games. Jax isnt winning two in a row: miami wins easily. Look at Miami's schedule - you probably wont want to pick them again until week 16 or week 17. Do you really want to be holding that bag of poop week 16/17?

I said to pick the steelers last week. Go with fins this week. I wouldnt waste cowgirls just yet.

How much of it is luck too

Though he may act "clownish" at times, I don't have much of a problem with Rex. I get the impression he's a good person overall. Seems to have his players' backs. Never throws anyone under the bus. Obviously I don't know him at all - just the impression I get. Bill B on the other hand doesn't come off as a clown, but rather a D-bag. Then again, I don't know him either.

If every team in the NFL had a "B" team (like european soccer teams do) where players are signed right out of HS (or drafted - whatever)...and the NFLs "B" league played on saturdays, wouldnt everyone watch?? I know i would. Ratings would have to be high i imagine. Bc you have a vested interest in seeing players on your B team develop bc they will eventually be in the NFL in 2-3 yrs or even one year depending on how good they are. NFL would make money off of tv contracts to air those games and that would cover cost of "B" team. Pay players 50-60k a year. Youre still watching top talent bc these players are the same players that wouldve been playing on alabama, nd, usc, arkansas etc. instead now theyre in the B league.

Only one way all this nonsense ends for good: NCAA athletics are not televised anywhere. Problem solved. When the focus stops being on the $$$ revolving around these games and placed back on the purpose of college - academics - then we'll see all of this nonsense end. We want to glamorize these athletes and have entire networks dedicated to their play, then have the professional leagues (nfl, nba, nhl, etc) set up junior leagues and televise games that way. Pay the players in the junior league and then glamorize them all you want. Instead of wasting everyones time by going to college, the elite players are recruited and paid to join junior leagues. Until that is done, we're just all blowing a lot of hot air bc the entire NCAA system is a sham.

Ive never heard of that golden adage you speak of. I only know of the golden arches. Yum.

This is the funniest thread ive read in a while. Supposed to be 60ish and sunny on sunday. Rex may throw a curveball

Thats nuts. Yup, I'll stick with my original gut answer.

You have SERIOUSLY lost it man. You're so far gone there's no getting you back. Just above EJ? In ONE LESS GAME THAN EJ, Orton already has more passing yards and the same amount of TD's - which happens to be the #1 purpose of a QB unlike your belief that the #1 purpose of a QB is to protect the ball - if that were the case, the QB would never pass and just kneel every play - there, ball protected. Again, IN ONE LESS GAME vs Defenses that are all ranked higher in pts/game against than the defenses EJ went against (including the chargers - lions give up less pts/game). He has already out thrown EJ and tied him in TD's. No OTAs. No training camp. Off the street. Off RETIREMENT. Orton is completing his passes at a 68.5% clip - WHICH IS 3RD IN THE LEAGUE ONLY BEHIND ROMO AND MANNING - compared to EJ's putrid 58.0% completion % which on par with the likes of Jake Locker and Geno Smith. Get a clue man.

No cj, no FJ, worse OL, 4th and what conversion? Panthers comeback was good no doubt. This one was much more dramatic and difficult to achieve bc of the mentioned circustances. I dunno, they probably equal. That comeback vs panthers was impressive Having second thoughts. Not sure why you had to make this thread into another EJ debate

I think its important to stay on topic w/o generalizations on both sides. The title of the thread said that SIGNIFICANT improvements are expected. Based upon our performances vs the Lions and Vikings( 17 pts in those games), its safe to say our Oline will have similar struggles vs the Jets, whos Dline is comparable to that of the lions and better than the Vikings. That being said, the Jets secondary is garbage and our WR should have a field day if we dont draw up plays that require orton to just stand back there for 5sec. Like other posters have mentioned, i would also like to see an approach that focuses more on quicker/shorter routes unless we see that the Jets arent getting that much pressure. We'll see. I expect a hard fought win.

Im with you 100% on this. Perfectly stated

Maybe im just being super conservative but i dont see us lighting up the JEts defense. If we had a better Oline id be more confident. But our oline is our weakest point and dline is their strongest point.

If hes KR i expect At LEAST 10 times after our 10 scores

lol..i think they're down pretty far already.
