    Ok....let me ask this.....if Luck declares

    I dont think Carolina trades the pick.

     

    Has a #1 overall pick ever been traded?

    I don't know if the pick has ever been traded but I do know that the player picked has had their rights traded soon after the pick.

     

    Two that I can think of off the top of my head:

    John Elway - drafted by the Baltimore colts and refused to join the team and was traded to the Broncos*

    Eli Manning - drafted by the Chargers and then traded to NYG for Rivers and other picks.

     

    *Interesting fact, Elway was apparently at the time of his drafting playing minor league ball for the Yankees and was going to pursue a career in baseball if he wasn't traded from Baltimore.

    If Luck falls to us, trade down. Same when Newton falls to us. Then pick every run-stuffer and pass rusher we can find.

    I thought that's why they resigned Merriman for another 2 years?

     

    I'm not saying you're wrong or arguing your points. I agree to trade down, but I really don't see management doing anything that makes sense in April. Or any of the other 11 months for that matter.

    Last time I was there was for an I.T. conference. I stayed at the Hooter's Hotel(across the street from MGM). Best bar/casino I've been too(for personal reasons). I say that because I hardly ever gamble but if you put 10 bucks into the machines at the bar they give you free drinks and they have about 8-10 TV's and they put on whatever you want if there aren't other people complaining about it.

     

    I heard of Steakout's when I was there last and heard good things when I was at a after hours party at the Hard Rock but never had a chance to go. Hopefully next time I can get in there... Likely in a year or two.

    Sorry Arthur

    Compare it with the clip of Maybe (half way through) and listen to how STUPID Maybin sounds and looks

    Just watching the combine video I like Moats better. Maybin looks like a TE if anything and Moats looks like a frackin' tank. Built for OLB.

    Spiller to WR

    Just my supposition here, but I don't think he has enough of a grasp of the offense as a RB, much much much less as a WR. Of course you could always stick him outside and say run a streak pattern, but what good would that do the offense?

    Works well for Evans.... oh wait

    The NFC West co-leaders are both 6-7

    How is this better? Your system would penalize the teams in the toughest divisions by having number 1 play number 2 instead of a bye or the lowest seeded team. And the Rams and the Seahawks are still going to get into the playoffs, no matter how bad their records.

    I agree it would penalize teams in the toughest divisions but it would also add to, if not create great rivalries. As for the rams and seahawks, there's nothing you can do about mediocre teams getting in to the playoffs.

     

    I just don't see how it is fair when a single division can have 3 teams in the playoffs and only one from another. NFC east is a prime example. Giants were 8-8 in 2008 and got into the wildcard along with Cowboys and Eagles won the division. Then there were 3 other 8-8 teams in the NFC that didn't make it from different divisions.

     

    So instead of having the two teams in the same division play each other, have the brackets as they are now but with only the top two teams. So the top seed will play the lower seed and each division has two teams represented in the playoffs.

     

    In MOST cases, those two teams in the toughest division will just end up playing each other for the conference championship.

    NFL needs to institute a rule like college ball where you need to win so many games to become "playoff-eligible." You're probably looking at a 10 win team missing the playoffs in the NFC, while a 7-9 team makes it in.

     

    There's going to be a dogfight for the #5 seed in the NFC. You basically get a bye getting to go to and "play" the rams or seahawks, while the poor #6 seed will have to go to Chicago/philly/NYG for their wildcard.

    2008 really showed me how screwed up the way they do the wildcards and anything post season related.

    The colts, Ravens, Falcons and Eagles were all wildcard teams. Their records were 12-4, 11-5, 11-5 and 9-6-1 respectively.

    Meanwhile the Chargers, Vikings and Cardinals were 8-8,10-6 and 9-7 and all clinched their division. While other teams with better than .500 records(Pats 11-5, Cowboys 9-7, Bucs 9-7, Jets 9-7) didn't even get a playoff berth.

     

    If they were going to change anything about the NFL I would prefer they not go to 18 games, get rid of the first round bye and have the top 2 teams in each division get a berth. Those two teams would play each other in place of the wildcard. Then play the rest of it out as normal. If my math is right, I believe this comes out to there being 5 weeks of playoffs(including superbowl) as opposed to 4 weeks now.

     

    But hey, I also cracked my head open when I was younger so I'm probably just rambling.

    Don Criqui---worst announcing job in NFL history today...

    Yeah... That comment along with his comment about The Browns' running back Hillis playing like "a man against boys".... On the opening drive... That really pissed me off... Criqui is a loser. He is the worst I have ever heard. He makes Solloman Wilcox look good... That's not easy to do...

    And after they had the ball within the 10 yard line he said "Just give it to Hillis two more times and then they can kick off right away". That has to be one of the most idiotic things I've heard an announcer say. I understand speculating but he basically flat out said he's gonna score, no stopping him.

     

    Also I really liked the fact that every 2 minutes he felt the need to mention how it was "a cold, freezing rainy day in Buffalo".

    Offensive pass interference is rarely called.

     

    Those two plays are all McKelvin's fault for not knowing how to !@#$ing play.

    Agreed. When he's in good position he still plays the man and not the ball. He could have had 2 picks, the long pass to Rice and the TD to Rice, if he just used his head.

     

    I'm curious if his playbook is actually a speak n spell.

    We gotta put some shots on Peterson...if we can hit him like we did Favre he will fumble!

     

    McKelvin sucks. I think we are going to have to draft a cb in the mid rounds next year

     

    I think that's a TD

    I think it's a TD too but how Rice isn't flagged for offensive interference is beyond me. I know he was playing the ball but he climbed over McKelvin to do it. Does that matter?
