Your balls were just right today

No, apparently not. Each team provides its own balls for offense that they maintain control over. I did not know that until this morning.
This article says differently:
According to NFL rules, home teams are required to provide 36 balls for outdoor games and make the balls available for testing with a pressure gauge prior to the game.
This one says differently:
An NFL football must be inflated with between 12.5 and 13.5 pounds of air per the league's rule book. In addition, home and road teams must each provide 12 game balls to be inspected by the league 135 minutes before game time. The home team also has to have 12 reserve game balls on hand to be tested.

High school/college/NFL each team brings their own game balls that they use when on offense. The balls are switched out after change of possession. Refs always check the footballs pre game to make sure they are properly inflated and not altered or scuffed up
So if this is true, it was done to benefit the Pats offense and maybe limit turnovers due to the weather?
The Colts would have used the same footballs that they always use if the above is true.

Seattle won the Superbowl last year with ground and pound. They will do it again this year. Ohio State kicked the crap out of the pass happy team in the national championship this year. The best team in college football the past five years(Alabama) is ground and pound. As Bill Parcells once said, "power football still wins".
It does, but you still have to put yourself in the position to be around in January. Thats where 'It's a passing league' comes into play.
You can win some games during the regular season throwing 45 times, but in a playoff game where both teams have their backs against the wall, you have to be able to mix it up effectively.

And yet the last three Super Bowls winners have been...
A Giants team that backed into the playoffs, and won with a strong run game led by Ahmad Bradshaw along with a dominating defense
A Ravens team that backed into the playoffs, and won with a strong run game led by Ray Rice along with a dominating defense (playing against the 49ers who were led by a dominating run game and defense)
The Seahawks with a running game led by Marshawn Lynch along with a dominating defense.
The trick seems to be getting to the playoffs...THEN, those two features make you a force to be reckoned with
Thats the truth, too. Another example is how the Pats approached the playoffs, this season and last. Pass all year and then when it's crunch time, give it to Blount 20 times a game. It worked for them until they met the Broncos D in the AFC championship.
It didn't surprise me when they signed him again this year, halfway through the season. No doubt Belichek had the playoffs in mind.

So instead of seat licenses, they're taking all of the current season ticket holders seats away and having everyone pick new ones based on tenure.
Not a bad idea for some of the smaller markets or teams that have trouble filling a stadium.

Seriously?
Rex Ryan has a super bowl ring as a positional coach with the Ravens
Bill Belichick, Mike McCarthy, Tom Coughlin, John Harbaugh, Jimmy Johnson, Brian Billick, Pete Carroll...don't think any of them played in the NFL
Yeah but how are we supposed to **** all over this signing if we follow your logic???
-
That when we see a decent LG's leave like Andy Levitre, Chad Rinehart they aren't replaced by players outright cut off the team by week six inColin Brown, David Snow! Or grade as badly as backup C/G Doug legursky. Then the next year the team goes dumpster diving for player who is a known injury risk, and grades worse then any player currently on the roster in LG Chris Williams. Drafting a OT with a #2, and a #7, and the 7th becomes the starter, albeit a very average starter who looked lost at times.
Good post, and I agree with this part especially. But I feel like it was more Marrone who was in charge of players on the line. He thought that he could bring anyone in, work his magic, and resurrect their careers (Brown, Legursky, and Williams last year).
And also, it's Chas Rhunblast, not Rinehart.

can't imagine what kind of gimmicky lame Italian none sense it would be. A bottle of hair gel? Wait he's bald. Same with a comb. Hmm. How about a big plate of fettucini or the sign to olive garden?

A halo around St Doug would be good on this one:

So its Marrone vs a cancer patient for Jaguars O-line coaching job. If he hadn't left Buffalo the way that he did I'd feel bad for him.
-
Murray will be 27 in Feb and has been a featured back for 4 years now (multiple games going back to 2011 with over 30 carries).
Unfortunately, I don't think he has 3 or 4 good seasons left in him to warrant anymore than $4MM/yr.
If he's smart, he'll go elsewhere and try and get as much upfront as possible.
-
Thanks for summing this all up. Everything happened too fast for an old seaman like me.
In fact, I hadn't even heard about this sleepover in FLA and watching the Pats game together. Pretty neat.
It seems like now, the Schwartz situation is in the forefront.
And I agree with other posters who say that this doesn't feel like the last 10 years, as far as the coaching carousel goes. It feels like we're taking a full step in the right direction.
-
one of the best run blockers available.
-
Good job. I think the clock might be wrong though. It says that these posts are happening at 2:53AM

I'm going for Seattle in this one.

He's CJ Spiller, the Drive Killer.
NegativeNegativeNegativeNegativeNegativeNegativeNegativePositiveNegativeNegativeNegative
I think he likes to fancy himself as a QB, where he'd rather just run outside and out of bounds than take the hit.
He has the speed and skill, but not the heart and vision. He still has some value, but maybe in the $3MM range as a utility player.
Somebody will overpay for him, despite his glaring limitations, and be disappointed.

Buffalo Bills
Jim Schwartz +110
Frank Reich +110
Mary Eggers -225 -
Strange...not even a mention?

Look at the difference in Wade vs Marrone Jauron Mularkey. It's night and day when it comes to their attitude and demeanor.
You could probably make an argument for either side for Chan, but I'd personally put him in the positive bucket.
-
If the organization had the last two years to go off would they have still selected him?
No Way.
-
Thats like saying Marrone can coach bc he went 9-7 with the Bills but we all know that not to be the case
Just gonna say that.
Somewhere, someone is saying "9-7 with the Bills. Dude can coach. Period."
Can Lee really help make EJ a quality NFL QB?

Lee helped Fitz throw 24 TD's. He's a miracle worker.
