I watched the whole game. It turned because of a combination of poor coaching from Reid and losses of key KC players on offense and defense , not some magical Da'Rick catch.

As a previous poster said, this is a big stretch. Its almost like a now famous post from a few years back that claimed that Lee Evan single-handled altered the dynamic in the AFC central between the Ravens and Steelers ;-)

Out of curiosity , what is the Barbarian's success rate on QB picks now? ;-)

+1

The Bills were 9-7 the 2004-2005 season so your statement is factually incorrect.

How is fewest yards per drive a mark of a top defense ? That's a poor stat.

The Bills losses that you cite were more attributable to some of the following: 1) Bad QB play from our platoon of EJ, Thad, Tuel 2) Terribad special teams play on returns 3) A defense which just disappeared during key moments. Having a receiver miss out on a jump ball catch was not a cause of any of our losses .

All else equal (e.g. We also had an Andrew Luck equivalent ) then I would say TJ over TY is indeed a miss. But that's not the point of this thread. People are complaining about a UDFA here who got a shot to start because the rest of colts WR corps was depleted by injury. He hasn't exactly been tearing it up yet , it seems like we missed out on the next TO or Brandon Marshall.

Interesting sig.

One or two catches a game of production is what determines the difference between playoff vs non-playoffs? If it was Ty Hilton that we had cut then that was indeed a miss.

I remember seeing that link . Is it still in this thread or was it deleted lol.

It was a nice circus catch. And it was the only one that Rogers had the whole game. Wouldn't say that he is making a name for himself at this point . Nice to have a qb like Luck though .

How's Da' Rick doing?

There is an interesting article analyzing the Redskins trade for RG3 that was apparently written by some Harvard types. I'm including the link below. There is a lot of math . But basic conclusion is that RG3 would need to have a Tom Brady-like career in order for the trade to have been worth it. That's a tall order . http://harvardsportsanalysis.wordpress.com/2012/03/10/evaluating-the-redskins-trade-for-robert-griffin-iii/

Giving up all those picks will set any rebuilding team back years. See Washington. They are even worse off now than the Bills.

Hmmm. Isn't it the GM that is responsible for filling roster spots?

Is McCarron worth a pick just to see Katherine Webb around?

They also signed Troup .

Is Houston going to select Manziel? I thought the more solid prospect would be someone like Bridgewater.

Did they resign the right QB? Didn't the Bears do better with McCown under center this year. Some would argue that the Bears would have made playoffs if they had just benched Cutler.

April hasn't gotten it done ever since the major rule changes. And I never said Crossman was an acceptable choice. My point was made to highlight the fact that all the April love is misplaced.

Oakland is 1 spot below at 31. And who coached Oakland's special teams this year ? Bobby April.

We need to try out all the Jimmy Johnson assistants from the Cowboys glory days.

Why not ? He did lead the Jets to two consecutive AFC championships ...
