Yes clearly the safety and LB issue has been the reason we went from the leagues most ferocious defense getting after the QB to hardly touching one.

He did that too. It's a pattern with him, he says it's ultimately my fault - right after he gets done explaining how it wasn't.

That will eventually prove to be the pioneering contract that us to future options. So you'd rather be dealing with the cable company with no competition for even television to have the NFL package? That sounds delightful.

I respect your post - but do disagree. The direct package isn't a crime - what would you have the NFL do? What other singular company could really deliver to the most people? The cable companies are all chopped up and gave hell to the NFL for the NFL Network in certain areas. The true crime is how we were trapped into using our local cable company to get TV channels all those years as they basked in their little monopolies- they kept raising their rates and offered the consumer nothing. Directv drove the cable companies to have to earn our business instead of the crap customer service you got because you were stuck without an option. Obviously the next chapter is going to be interesting but I've always gotten excellent customer service from Directv and they gave us choice as they evolved from single LB where you could only watch on one tv to where they are now. I have zero issues with the NFL partnering with Direct for as long as they have. Now they have competition and that usually means nothing but good news for us the consumer.

Fred never got sick - Whaley sucks

You can't be serious? They aren't flirting with danger in the slightest.

I don't consider growing your business greed. It's simply understanding and expanding the market.

Just because the probability of us winning is low doesn't mean I'm not watching.

Oh man that's a tough one. Sincere condolences to the Flutie family.

Ridiculous

Who in their right mind would draft a long snapper in the 1st round?

Isn't that dominating?

Ouch

And no Tyrod - no thanks.

Good one

It should be does Kiko finish the game vs doesn't finish the game.

Better hope we sign Glenn. For all that think he's just ok - wait until he's gone and you'll appreciate him then. He's one excellent tackle.

Of course

Crazy how we spent such a high draft pick on someone who can't play and a position we didn't need.

I'm just not buying into the defense isn't working because it's complex argument. I get that it's something to talk about since the ex players comments - but the veterans we have on the d line are more than capable of picking up a defense. I think it has much more to do with the buy in - in terms of the players don't think the philosophy matches their skills. I would imagine Mario is wondering why his job is to lock horns with the O-lineman and contain vs taking a wide angle to the QB. I would also imagine his concern was something like - they are paying me a lot of money to sack the QB and if I don't that money doesn't seem well spent and they're going to ask me to restructure and take a pay cut and my negotiating power is diminished because my stats won't speak for themselves. Furthermore it isn't working and QB's have way too much time. Could everyone imagine if Hughes contract was up this year instead of last year?

Easy for you to say - you wouldn't have to "fork" over 20 million to fire someone. Rex and Roman were excellent hires - but obviously things aren't working out perfectly and everyone knows that. But this firing after one year stuff is so immature. It's been 7 games dude - you gotta figure out a way to relax.

Oh
