I thought I was wrong once, but I was mistaken.

I have to agree with you Biscuit. But, I wouldn't put too much faith in raw stats re: the 60% completion rate. In a west coast type of offense, 60%+ is the goal. In an Al Davis type of vertical offense, the rating will probably be a bit lower.

The owner of the NYG defined his successful season when the 16th game actually means something.

Is Simms Practice Squad eligible ?

Concerning game day decisions, Jets fans say that for all Rex's aggressiveness, he tends to play prevent defense at the end of halfs. We shall see.

I agree Yolo. From all indications, Rice, prior to THE incident, had a squeaky clean record. Having said that though, the Bills don't have a need for Rice.

Isn't he also the guy who tipped the waitress peanuts after a meal in Philly ?

Let's say that you go for 2, score, but are called for holding. Does the 2 point conversion then go back to the 12 yard line? After the holding is called, can you then decide to go for one(1) ? If you are then allowed to go for one, does the line of scrimmage now become the 35 instead of the 25 ? I searched & didn't see this topic addressed.

I know that you are not real big on Hogan, but what's not to like? He runs pretty good routes. He has good hands. He is much faster than most give him credit for. Any stats that show minimal production are obviously skewed by the guys throwing him the ball among other things like poor OL & play calling. The answer to your Q is that they might very well be a significant drop off. We already have 2 burners in Sammy & Percy. I like Goodwin, DL, & CH but 3 burners aren't a need. We need to move the sticks & Hogan will probably be in there in those situations.

"nice weather in Miami". I don't know. I would guess that 300 lb linemen with lots of padding etc might prefer to play in a more moderate climate. I went to the Jets at Miami game this year. The heat is brutal. Just saying.

Al Davis was the one who started signing the NFL QBs. Rozelle went belly up because the AFL was signing all their marquee players.

This My guess is that there is a gentleman's agreement that he will be signed - just a question of how much. He doesn't seem to be visiting other teams.

It would be cool if the NFL didn't allow rookie QBs to be snatched away when on the practice squad. This should probably be in the "what i would do if i was Commisioner" thread.

I agree, Kirby. Very often we forget the recruiting angle. We also rely too much on a coach's record. The coach's record very often is determined by their QB. The GB coach has won a SB & has gotten far in the playoffs. After his disastrous coaching in the playoffs this year (kicking FGs twice on 4th & inches from the 1 yd line ), do we label him a great coach? I think that he has some good attributes but great - I don't think so. Then there is my favorite "genius", Bill B. The "genius has won numerous SB's & undoubtedly is a good coach. People who label him a genius tend to forget that his record prior to Tom Brady was under .500. Rex has a record of around .500, coaching with questionable QBs. Give him a top 10 QB & there is no doubt that his record would be admirable & one in which some people might even call him a great coach or "genius". Just my random thoughts on coaches. For whatever it is worth, imo the best coach that I see is John Harbaugh of the Ravens. I seem to remember in 1969 that the night before the Bills game, Marty Shottenheimer took Namath out & got him drunk at Brunners. We won the next day for our only win that year.

Have you ever seen in college a DB tackle a WR 50 yds down field? It works in college & it would work in the NFL. I know that it sounds silly, but I would have all Guards & Tackles wear gloves that resemble boxing gloves. This would eliminate the flagrant holding calls that slow up the game. The only holding penalties would be the obvious OLman tackling the DLman.

My memory is going downhill - fast. But, I do remember a game against a Jauron Bears team where we were ahead 21-0 in the 4th qrtr. The Bears finally crossed the 50 but got stopped on 3rd down. What did Jauron do? You are correct - he kicked a FG. When we hired him, I lost respect for his fellow Ivy Leaguer, Marv. Jauron seemed like a nice guy but just didn't get it.

The one thing Kiko was great at was covering RBs on swing passes behind the line of scrimmage. He was quick to diagnose & was fast to the runner.

I forgot - what is GOAT?

Do you know if Manhertz played HS football?

Rauch wanted to make OJ a receiver.

They played different positions. Sestak was the best DT I've ever seen. Smith was a great DE, run stuffer, & pass rusher.

I watched Mettenberger play 2 games. He looks like the real deal & an outright steal from last year's draft. IMHO the Titans will not draft a QB but will trade the pick.

I agree. EJ's accuracy will improve when/if he gains confidence. It's not rocket science to throw a football to a teammate. If he gains confidence, he will be more accurate. It's really just that simple. It doesn't mean that confidence will make him a top 10 QB. It just means that his accuracy will improve. We shall see.

12-4 They will lose one to NE, one to an NFC- E team & 2 more just because they are the Bills.
