What a Tuel

Underrated - Woods (Although there is a topic saying we could get a first for him so maybe not ) Overrated - Tyrod - I think people are seeing a Russel Wilson in the way he runs and it is influencing their judgement. On a side not I can't stand when people try to get creative and alter players names to make a statement. Pickspatrick was one of the worst. I haven't heard TyGod but that is a right there.

ha, yes I do, haha

Ha, I was standing behind the camera guy. I didn't hear him offering the tickets though. Definitely classy of Goodwin. He stuck around signing autographs for a long time. After my group got their autograph we moved away, and at some point later we turned around and he was still signing stuff haha. Ron Brooks was also in the outer area on his little electric skateboard kind of like this cruising around signing autographs haha. http://www.bonanza.com/listings/New-Smart-Self-Balancing-Electric-Skateboard-Unicycle-Scooter-SkyWalk-Blue/271605505?gpid=68416461421&gpkwd=&goog_pla=1&gclid=CjwKEAjw9dWuBRDFs9mHv-C9_FkSJADo58iMyikKJIF1gSy-wKs-zMOmcLJOnLY1_I-AnRjYjtKEFhoCpfvw_wcB

All this talk about the CBA makes me dread negotiating a new one (2021?) and how stubborn the two sides may end up being.

Alright but I'm blaming you! Just kidding

I do too. I wish they'd just come out and say it. I am about to leave from North Tonawanda to there, and I really don't want to drive just to be turned around when I get there.

I came here looking for the same thing. Weather says 77% precipitation and thunderstorms. Is there a place that I can check that they will announce if its canceled? I also have a 1 and a half drive. Edit: My brother just told me the storm system will hit and be gone before 6pm. What are the odds they play on a rained on field though? I have a feeling they will close it and move indoors.

That's how I am reading it. I think I will be opting in.

Led the team in first downs last year. Might as well change out the entirety of the offense then too. Could this be what's going on with McCoy's toe issue?

More like your friend who wouldn't ever go to a strip club, texting about strip clubs, and you in the same conversation, and her seeing it on a friends phone. Then her seeing your friend driving your car on camera, going to the strip club. You subsequently destroy your phone before she can look at your phone to validate your friends didn't text you about the strip club. Then she also finds out that you took out $500 singles and spread them amongst your friends. Then you tell her, I will never hang out with those guys again, don't worry. When she asks why, you say no reason, they are perfectly good guys. All of that with a eating grin on your face, and a overall attitude that this is all a big joke. Overbearing wife? Replace strip club with hooker party.

Pretty sure its tailored to humanize him, and in turn make people like him more.....

I posted earlier in the thread asking this same thing. Apparently it's normal because he went to court. I think its ridiculous and messed up. I guess its public info though, but if I were the media, I'd feel dirty for using it.

This is it exactly. It strikes me as ridiculous that every single reason can be explained away as coincidence, flawed science, or misinterpretations, and people are ok with that. Anyone know the odds of ten 1% chance variables all occurring? Not bloody likely, that's what.

I think limiting Aaron Rodgers, and Peyton Manning to 358 yards 0 tds and 4 ints combined should make us (edit: us meaning fans, the team shouldn't assume anything) have a little well deserved cautious optimism about facing Luck. He also turns the ball over four times as much as Aaron Rodgers

This is very ridiculous, and not similar at all. If McNally pulled out a pin in front of the officials and started to deflate the footballs after they had checked them, right in front of them, and started deflating the balls to Brady's preferred PSI, the officials would have confronted him, and this certainly wouldn't be what it is. They did far worse in the way they did it, and they did it with Brady's ok. This is leagues different than those situations in which equipment people did things in blatent view of everyone, unknowingly doing it seemingly unaware it was against the rules. (They are allowed to use hand warmers to warm the balls) Also, I am reading that the stick em san diego thing wasn't technically against the rules, but they fined them and said it is frowned upon, the Chargers appealed, and it was reversed. Also it seems as though there was a decent outrage by the Charger fan base to fire everyone involved. Very "not on my team"esque http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap1000000091683/article/san-diego-chargers-fined-20k-by-nfl-in-towel-case

Maybe it is just me, and I hate Brady as much as the rest of you, but how are his personal e-mails not relevant to the case being released to the public? That kind of annoys me. Is this BAU court procedure?

In all of his busy daily activities as a famous NFL QB, he simply can't be bothered to remember who he tells how he likes his footballs, or that he even likes his footballs any specific way. Sounds a lot like this:

I think he is a great pick too, but they are projecting him at 15. I guess that's fair though. Edit: On second thought, he will probably be snatched up too quickly for me. The hype train for him is too much I think.

Yeah, I can see that. I love getting the late round pick. Picking 12 and 13 (or 11 and 14) is loads better than picking 1 and 24 in my opinion. I'd be happy grabbing a superstar WR first and McCoy second. What do you guys think about Odell? I was able to pick him up in all 3 leagues and made it to 2 championships last year but only won one, but with Victor Cruz on his way back, I am not sure he will get the same production.

The bolded is the problem people have. We should probably wait until he is in his 30's and putting up the same or better stats before we project his success and crown him. The rest is excuses. As I have said before, the Seahawk's had Golden Tate, and let him go. He went from being an 900 yard WR under Wilson to 1300 yard WR under Stafford with Calvin Johnson hobbled all last year. We will see how Jimmy Graham's production goes.

There is no egg on anyone's face. Today QB's are very hard to find and there are about a dozen or more teams that aren't set at the position. This artificial inflation of the value of the QB is a completely different argument than whether or not he is one of the top 5 or so QB's in the league. Until people stop bouncing back and forth between those arguments, there will always be confusion and conflicting arguments. He is a good QB, so he will get signed to a large contract period. Just as people were saying he is 10-12 qb, there were people also saying he was second only to Rodgers, which to me is also ridiculous.

This has me hesitate as well. I know people who were pretty upset when they kept puting Polk and Sproles in the red zone. I also think he is a solid option, but if I was at 10-12 and if he is still available then I'd snatch him up, but if you were unlucky enough to get a high spot this year and have the intention of grabbing McCoy, he can be had for less, I think. A lot of people are skiddish about our offense as a whole rather than him as a player himself, and with our QB situation, they may have some valid points.

Do we call to get the token for the free NFL Rewind? Or is it included in an e-mail or packaging and I missed it? 1st time season ticket holder

You brought up stats or were inquiring about them. I was simply explaining why including his rushing stats do not make a difference. It really has nothing to do with fantasy football. Wilson generated 270 yards of offense per game last year and 1.6 touchdowns and .75 turnovers per game. Roethlisberger generated 311 yards of offense per game last year 2 touchdowns and .87 turnovers per game. Those aren't fantasy football stats. They are unbiased stats based on the production on QBs. Maybe it isn't his fault that he isn't "needed" as much because of the great defense, but facts are that his production on the field doesn't touch the top 5 qbs.

Yes...that.
