  1. I would argue that bad coaching can also get inside of a young player's head to the extent that "it" has a hard time overcoming poor instruction. I'm not suggesting that EJ definitely has "it," but there were a few times in the first season when it seemed that a game was on the line and he stopped thinking, and was able to play a more instinctual game. The Pats* game in his first start comes to mind. OT in the Atlanta game comes to mind. There were others. It was mentioned upthread by KD about Rex letting Geno play to see what he had. Unfortunately for Rex, Geno is a brick, and he proved that he is a turnover machine that has a hard time thinking about the reprecussions of blindly pulling the trigger, but I would have loved to see EJ in a similar situation where taking care of the ball was not the first, second, third, and fourth priority that appeared to be drilled into his head. IMO, Marrone completely missed the point of taking chances on offense when you have a defense that can bail you out if you turn the ball over. He should have tried harder to develop a young QB with a defense like that to fall back on, but I suspect in the back of his mind he had one foot out the door the second the prospect of the ownership change entered the picture. Unfortunately, his self-serving approach leaves the franchise in the same spot it was at the beginning of last season, with a playoff caliber roster that is now 1 year older and a big unanswered question at QB.
  2. Franchise tag number for 2014 for DE is $13M+ http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap2000000330088/article/nfl-releases-2014-franchise-transition-tag-numbers
  3. Without crushing Tom Terrific, members of Project-NFL defense have no name. In rendering defeat upon the Pats*, we rejoice in our brethren's name. HIS name is Bernard Pollard. His name is Bernard Pollard. His name is Bernard Pollard.
  4. Instead, how about they have Dr. Frankenstein attach Peyton's head (maybe even shave the forhead so it doesn't need a custom helmet) to EJ's body so that they don't have to play short-handed. It's a win-win-win. Peyton gets limbs that still work and a neck that doesn't have all the wear from the years of wind shear on his forehead, the Bills still get to make use of a first round draft pick, and EJ keeps his spot on the team (sort of). EJ head on Peyton body can throw teeshirts to the crowd where his tendency to throw things over people's heads will be compensated for by his newly worn out arm.
  5. Do you think the douche with his own name tatooed across his shoulders would be available?
  6. I'd argue that it's nuance. It certainly wasn't a savaging, but it was not well received. The vast majority of the early responses were of the "I call BS" variety directed at the poster, the information presented, and the presence/absence of a credible source. Someone with ~180 posts called him out on his ~150 posts. Classic. However, you're right, no one insulted his family or threatened to paint a twig and berries on his lawn.
  7. Unfortunately, this is not the world that we live in. Civility and accountability became the exception when social media and reality TV became the norm.
  8. Now, Now. You don't want Jonathan filing harrassment charges against you. TBD might have to release you.
  9. So what you're saying is irrespective of the of the accuracy of the information, posters should treat him with respect, regardless; thus irregardless. Sorry, grammar police pet peeve. Cheers.
  10. Name calling is childish, yet mocking the entire population of a city because someone pointed out your decided lack of grammatical prowess and inability to tell the difference between an extra "r" and an otherwise nonsensical statement is mature? For shame, momento foot ruth (in case you thought I didn't know what I was typing, I'm suggesting your screen name needs work).
  11. I think they were advertising for his show in some dive bar in So-Hi, Arizona following the SB. I think he was calling it "Please Help Me with the *%(*#$ NFL and their 20% Stake Majority Ownership Rule" Tour. $10 buckets of PBR, all you could eat tumble weed, and MC'd by some high priced ladies of the night. Warren Sapp apparently thought it was a great party.
  12. A HOF QB, an evil genius coach, and a serious lack of integrity.
  13. Wasn't that Gronk providing commentary on the first draft with Flutie and Rice?
  14. No biggie. He'll just drop you off a few yards short of your driveway.
  15. What about Tony Mokiki? https://screen.yahoo.com/mokiki-000000022.html
  16. I think you're mistaking him for the outlaw. Jesse's no angel by any means, I mean he cheated on Sandra Bullock and used to be a body guard for Danzig, but man can he make a mean custom chopper. I might take a flier on talent like that.
  17. Dear Mr. Kraft, I'm sorry that you had to hear the truth from the likes of Richard Sherman. I can't imagine I'd like that much, either. If it wasn't so true, you could probably sue for slander. Kindly tap Commissioner Goodell on the top of the head when he's done and let him know I said sucks for him too... pun intended. Piss off, mother effer!
  18. Schefter also believes that it is too soon to say whether or not the Seahawks are true contenders this year, or whether they will suffer the Super Bowl Champion hangover like the Giants.
  19. Or he's playing word games because he realizes it was 26 degrees at kickoff for the Ravens game and 50 degrees at kickoff for the Colts game, meaning this could explain the difference for the Ravens game, but not likely the Colts game.
  20. I'm not sure who was in more pain, me listening to that or that poor guy trying to sing while passing a kidney stone. Must have been a big one.
  21. Why would they name him assistant head coach of the offense when it was clearly HIS DEFENSE that won the Bills 9 games last year... you know... by being smart enough to get out of the way and not **** with something he knew nothing about. Wait, do I have that argument correct?
  22. Back to Baltimore, if they hire Marrone as OC who's going to call the plays then?
  23. Is anyone else concerned that the Bills just hired a podophile? Does he have to register with Foot Locker? Does he own a foot locker? ** shudder **
