  1. The Seahawks claimed former Central Washington University QB Mike Reilly off waivers two weeks ago to compete with Teel, but Reilly was released on Tuesday

     

    Read again guys.

     

    Renton, Wash. - The Seattle Seahawks have waived quarterback Mike Teel, the team announced this morning.

     

    Teel was Seattle's sixth-round draft pick (178th overall) in the 2009 NFL Draft. He served as the inactive third quarterback for 14 games last season and did not play in two games as a backup.

    Thanks for playing...

  2. Beerball, my good fellow, what irritates YE OLE about all of these experts consistently predicting us to finish dead last is they do it so smugly and they've been consistently wrong. We've got guys like Marshall Faulk predicting 3-13 every year and then coming back the next season and laughing at us some more while making the same lame prediction. We haven't been nearly as bad as the hype that follows us. Don't get YE wrong... we should not be happy with our current situation, but the proper term for the last decade would be "mediocre" We've consistently been in the middle third of the league. Over the last 8 seasons we average out to 7-9, not 3-13. 7-9 is a small improvement away from being in the playoffs. I'm not saying we deserve to be in the conversation with playoff contenders until we prove it, but we sure as hell should not consistently be picked to finish with the Lions, Rams, Raiders, etc. YE OLE could handle predictions of 6-10 or 7-9... that very well could be accurate, but I get the feeling guys like Peter King and Marshall Faulk truly believe that we've been the laughing stock of the league for the last decade and it's simply not true.

     

    Between 2000 and 2008, only 7 teams had a lower winning percentage than the Bills .417. Two teams haven't made the playoffs this decade, Detroit and Buffalo, and even Detroit beat the Bills last time they played. 2 of the other 6 teams "worse" than Buffalo made the playoffs last year (Cincinnati and Arizona) Another, Cleveland, has beaten the Bills 3 straight times, while Houston (31-10 in 2009) and San Francisco (10-3 in 2008) both beat us at home in the last 2 seasons. The Bills have not been mediocre. They've been just plain bad.

  3. How about you post both of their stats from last year instead of distorting the numbers? Watch the games. Freddy is clearly the better back; he is more elusive, sees and hits the holes, and runs north/south.

     

    Take away the game that the Bills fed the ball to Jackson against the Colts practice squad and he averaged something like 4.16 ypc. Lynch averaged like 3.8. Not really that big a difference.

  4. Same reason why Faneca should have held off on signing with the Cards...a lot can happen before September.

     

    From ESPN... Faneca, released by the New York Jets last weekend, will receive a $300,000 signing bonus and $100,000 workout bonus, the source told Schefter. The $2.5 million base salary is fully guaranteed. He's also set to earn $5.25 million and a $118,000 workout bonus from the Jets. His total compensation is nearly $8 million for the season.

     

    Yeah he definitely should've held off from signing.

  5. I will defend Ben R.

     

    The fact is the Steelers were used to being a good team with sucky QB's for the last 20 years. They then get this prima donna star QB, who is suddenly "the man," and my guess is that there were a lot of egos that took a hit (e.g., "Wines Hard," Joey Porter, etc.)

     

    The fact is Ben R. is the star QB on that team, and was the reason that they won two Super Bowls. He probably has the same prima donna attitude that any of the other star QB's of the past had.

     

    I'll give you the 2nd SB but he was certainly not the reason fir the first. "The Pittsburgh Steelers won Super Bowl XL 21-10 over the Seattle Seahawks in Detroit on February 5, 2006. Roethlisberger had one of the worst passing games of his career, completing just nine of 21 passes for 123 yards and two interceptions; his passer rating of 22.6 was the lowest in Super Bowl history by a winning quarterback."

  6. Yes he did. Watch the first five games of the '08 season. We were 4-1 and playoff bound. Trent looked like not only a pro bowler but an MVP candidate too.

     

    In the first 4 games he averaged 237 yds and threw 4 TDs and 2 INTs. MVP candidate? Let's not get carried away.

  7. 10 - Jacksonville - no, may take Tebow in 2nd

    11 - Denver - no, just got Quinn, has Orton starting and drafted a kid they liked last year in 6th round

    12 - Miami - no, Henne is locked in, Pennington resigned

    13 - San Francisco - no, Alex Smith is finally developing into solid QB

    14 - Seattle - no, Just traded for Charlie Whitehurst to be their starter after Hasselback

    15 - NY Giants - no, Have Eli and his 92 million contract

    16 - Tennessee - no, developing Vince Young

    17 - San Francisco, no RT and CB are their needs

    18 - Pittsburgh - no, Have Ben do we really need to say more

    19 - Atlanta - no, Matt Ryan in place

     

    Please tell me why he woudn't be available at 20.

     

    Jacksonville doesn't even have a 2nd rd pick.

  8. People seem to forget that Lynch doesn't even turn 24 until mid-April. They also seem to forget that he's been in the league 3 years and has two 1,000 yd seasons. Jackson is a good back but he's 29. All I hear about is that running backs hit the wall at 30. I'm sure someone will make the argument that he hasn't taken the repeated pounding that most 29 yr old NFL backs have, but you can be sure that busting his hump as a journeyman for all those years took its toll on his body. That being said, you're going to have a hard time convincing me that moving Lynch in any manner is a good thing for this football team. Unless he breaks the law again, of course.

  9. Willis McGahee in Baltimore with a good line...TD FREAKIN MACHINE!!! Go back to football 101.

     

    McGahee in 3 years with the Bills: 3,365 yds 24 td

    McGahee in 3 years with the Ravens: 2,422 yds 26 td

     

    Sure, his ypc is up these days, but I'd have to believe that Ray Rice beating the crap out of the defense all game might have a little something to do with that.
