Why do people always make this suggestion in threads about ex-players? "Fred Jackson? Too slow. But I'd hire him as RB coach in a heart beat!"

Boger is pretty terrible. His crew has only officiated in two playoffs since he became a ref 11 years ago. He routinely averages higher penalties/game than the league average and he is pretty much the poster boy for the "flag-happy" referee generation. No matter how you slice it, I think it's pretty bad.

Which is what scares some of us about the coaching staff/GM.

Are you seriously that up tight? This is funny. I'm sure even Ralph would have a laugh about it if he were alive...and not senile.

THUNDER SNOW

Relax.

Baltimore and Buffalo are ahead of the L.A. Chargers based on conference record (Ravens' 5-4 and Bills' 5-4 to the Chargers' 4-5). Buffalo is ahead of Baltimore based on strength of victory (.404 to the Ravens' .381).

Whichever one has a pulse next Sunday.

It's scary enough to think Peterman needs to start in these games down the stretch, but Joe Webb... Let's hope Tyrod is ready to go next week.

That's not true at all. No one in their right mind would say they should have punted there.

Sorry if it was unclear. By always I was implying since Brandon took over. Within context it makes sense and of course it was packed when we were good. I really just think the credit Brandon gets is laughable. We're inherently a passionate fan base and he deserves no credit for that. A quick, and un-scientific example... This year Cleveland is averaging a 86.3% attendance rate. The last time we were that terrible... Chan Gailey's first year (2010), our attendance rate was 86.5%.

How do you figure? The team has always had poor attendance in the final couple games of the season.

I forgot about that one. This is all foreshadowing to the inevitable clock blunder he's going to make in a crucial game.

I saw him in person this year and made a point to focus on his awareness. Let's just say that I don't get the hype.

Patriots fans creep me out.

In this instance it didn't even save 4 seconds really. It made no sense.

I'm mostly on your side. If anything I felt the guy I quoted undersold the Bertuzzi incident.

Very hard for me to sympathize with the Giants. Welcome to football purgatory. They'll be here with us as long as it takes them to find a franchise QB.

I could care less about a 15 yard penalty with the game over. "As it is" the refs found a way penalize us more than them after that anyways.

It also ended that guys career.

Preston Brown should have ruined him instead of crying to the ref.

My favorite blunder was the timeout he took with 2:04 after 3rd down. The game was over so it didn't matter, but it was so wrong that it has me concerned.

We're the same as always. Inexplicably average.

What makes you think that an ultra conservative guy like McDermott is going to hire an OC that will be much different than Dennison? I'm not even sure that I want Dennison gone. His biggest fault to me is changing to the zone run scheme and not going back to man when it didn't work.

None of that matters. He's in the exact same camp as Losman, Bledsoe, even EJ... he did not lead us to the playoffs. He's simply not good enough. It's time to move on. It doesn't matter to me where you want to rank him.
