I don't like Skip Bayless but he called this a few weeks ago. http://ftw.usatoday.com/2014/12/skip-bayless-johnny-manziel-alcoholic-browns

I like Marshawn Lynch.

ODB is the best receiver ever!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F3kf6TDw5Tg

Not sure if anyone else heard this yesterday, but I was listening to the Dan Lebatard show last night. They had someone on who did some research and found that from 07 through this season the Pats had an avg. of 1 fumble to every 76 plays and the league avg. is 1 fumble per every 45 plays. They chose 07 because that was the year the nfl changed a rule allowing teams to bring their own balls, instead of using the new balls that hadn't been broken in yet. That's one spin on this controversy not many have thought of. I am wondering what the stats for dropped passes look like for them compared to the rest of the league during this period. No wonder their no name receivers catch everything thrown their way. Someone should ask Welker why his #'s have dropped so far since leaving the Pats. http://podbay.fm/show/301023639/e/1422316977?autostart=1

I missed it then. I saw the rb go to the ref and announce he was ineligible. I listened to see if the ref announced it over the PA but didn't see/hear it. Must have just missed it then.

I think the refs are supposed to announce whether a player reporting is eligible or not. That didn't happen in this case. Sure the player reported to the refs, but the ref did not announce it like they would if a lineman reported as an eligible receiver. Correct me if I'm wrong, but Wr's and Rb's must wear a # within a certain range to help determine who is an eligible receiver. If you don't have a # within that range you must report as an eligible receiver. If you wear a # that belongs to a WR or RB, you must report as an ineligible receiver in the case of the Pats game. This rule is in place and the refs announce the eligibility of a lineman for a reason. They should also announce that a guy wearing #34 is NOT an eligible receiver, even though he is lined up wide.

Was that supposed to be a knock on Dungy? We didn't win one with all the talent we had. I'll take even just ONE.

OBJ is the best receiver ever! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F3kf6TDw5Tg start watching at 40secs. Pretty funny.

And now on to a new subject: Did you hear the Pats got caught deflating the footballs of air? Cheaters!!!

I like it. Wouldn't we have to bring back Marrone , Hacket and Orton though?

'It merit's discussion. The topic is very clearly denoted. Don't want to discuss? Don't open this thread.' Ahh, the voice of reason.I have seen people get on others for bringing up a topic that was discussed on a previous post. Yes the topic is clearly denoted, but was discussed many times already. And don't tell me what to do, I'll open a thread and discuss like anyone else. Sorry your skin is so thin. Du yu looke fore speling srors two?

I don't know how many times this was brought up in the past, but can't this be merged to a post maybe 3-4 years ago? Geez! Just because they just played doesn't make it a new subject. The reason for trading Lynch hasn't changed.If he kicks ass in the superbowl, will this subject come up again?

As long as my post was, yes, I did think it through. As for the enter key comment: you're kind of late to the party. Someone beat you to it. And I took the advice. But some still want to be smartasses.

Do you mean like this idea? http://forums.twobillsdrive.com/topic/175154-how-about-pulling-a-mike-dikta-type-of-deal/ Sounds like the same thing to me.

And I was about to cancel Direct TV and the Sunday Ticket. Change in plans.

Ok, now you're just showing off.

Oh, was that meant to be funny ? Nice try. Someone beat you to it. Thanks for playing though.

No you didn't "dead" it right. Try the edited version, sorry for the 1st one. The post was meant to provoke some conversation on what options we might have to get the most coveted position taken care of(next to a HC). Sort of like Mickey with his idea of a 6th for Schaub, or Uffalo Ills with his idea of trading for a coach. The names in my post were names already thrown out there by some on this board as options. What do you think we should do,BillsFan-4Ever?

Sorry for not using a carriage(return) initially.

Wade Phillips and a screen name of "Ha ha, I got the last laugh"

We have a defense that many of us think is championship caliber( I know I do). This defensive line is relatively young, I didn't look it up but I think Kyle Williams is one of the few who I consider long in the tooth. But he's playing damn good football and probably has 3 good years left. Our LB's are young and Kiko is coming back. Our DB's are also pretty young, McKelvin is the oldest at 29 yrs. old. On Offense we are also relatively young. We have a young line that needs work, but young none the less except for Pears. I believe the young guys on the o-line will play a lot better with a year under their belts and hopefully better coaching. Young WR's as well with potential in Watkins and Woods. I like our ST with Carpenter and to me, our punter didn't stick out as a terrible punter. I also like the pickup of Thigpen. Rb's are pretty easy to get if the o-line does it's job. Having said all of this, we obviously feel we could use an upgrade at the QB position until EJ gets up to speed or it's determined he just can't cut it. If the staff feels there is a QB worth it, either a vet on a team already(RGIII, Cutler, Bradford etc.) or a rookie(Winston or Marriotta) would you be ok with a blockbuster trade to acquire this guy? When I say a Mike Ditka type of trade, it doesn't have to be all of our picks, but maybe most of the picks left to acquire this guy. We all seem to agree that we are a QB away from the playoffs and even a deep run in the playoffs. We should be able to find a guard or 2 that will be an improvement over Pears, even Williams coming back from injury would be an upgrade over Pears. I think we are close enough to being a complete team, that this thought actually crossed my mind. As young as this team is, we would have a 3-4 year run and 3 drafts to make up for this trade. Keep in mind the picks given up are not locks to be good(see this article http://www.canalstreetchronicles.com/2014/4/17/5623840/nfl-draft-saints-ricky-williams-mike-ditka-trade ). Just a thought.

Agreed. I mentioned him because he was mentioned here a few times as a candidate.

What argument?

were you not able to read it?!
