Is Pittsburgh's O line really good? Don't they have major pass protection issues? I seem to recall that in the past 2 seasons, Big Ben has taken quite a beating from the pass rushers of the opposing team. I think a large part of the success of the Steeler's passing games is due to Ben's toughness and ability to shrug off a potential sack and make a good throw.
Wow. Its fitting that you have Lynch as your avatar and handle. You write like him. I can't understand what your point is because of the extremely poor sentence construction and preponderance of run on sentences.
Below are Vick's career passing stats from Atlanta from ESPN website. Would you really call him a good QB? He seems to have very pedestrian numbers for a QB. Career completion percentage is below 60% . No season with over 3000 yards passing. And a career passer rating below 80.

If Brett Retires, will Minnesota make a play for a proven playmaker rather than going with their backups? I was told today that there are rumors about Childress going for McNabb?
Its highly unlikely that Fassel would have been approached again by the Bills considering how badly his interview went a few years ago with the Bills head honchos.
You only interview folks if you are seriously interested in them.... As folks have already said, there is a reason why Billick has not been contacted by anyone.
Fail. Did you even read who actually wrote the article? Who is Matt Mosley? With the kind of fact checking/ proof reading that he did (Tony Romo was the Cowboys QB in the late 90s???), I guess I know why I never heard of him.
Although these guys got votes, they didn't actually make the All-Pro team right?
Ryan Clady is first team All-Pro with 30 votes. Now that is impressive and speaks to how well he played throughout the season and not just a few games here and there.
You can't fault the Bills for that. Releasing the rest of the coaching from their contracts was the right thing and the professional thing to do.
The alternative would have been holding the coaches till a new one is signed. And then what happens if that new coach does not want some of those coaches? Then they would be up the creek since they lost the chance to go pursue other jobs earlier.
It seems to me that if we asked Fassel or Billick, they would jump at it.... Heck didn't Fassel actually beg Al Davis for a shot at the NFL again fairly recently?
Although, I do doubt that Buddy has the aforementioned coaches on his list.

So which is a better affirmation of overall level of play during a season? A Pro Bowl selection or and All Pro selection?
To use an example which we all love , I don't see Jason Peters on this list.
I believe the Pats have a total of four picks in the first and second rounds of this year's draft? It seems that if the Pats are still good at identifying talent, they can readily plug some of the holes that they currently have via the draft and some good free agent pickups. So talking about their demise may be premature.
Umm. QBs do not win or lose games by themselves. They are very much dependent on the quality of players that surround them both on offense and defense. Whats your point?
Hmmm. Since Green Bay is in the same division as Minnesota, they play each other twice a year. What happened in the two games they played this season? And remember that Minnesota has a pretty suspect secondary.
