Man I wish we could find a Larry Centers-esque FB for next year. He wasn';t a good lead blocker but was excellent as a receiver and could really pick up the blitz.

Yeah, we expect more. Throw the blame at the feet of Donahoe. Levy/Jauron had one offseason to fix it, and 7 games in, lets fire both of em... C'mon, we don't have the talent to play at a consistently high level right now. We have about 10 bona fide NFL starters. Thats it. Give Marv/Jauron another year to assemble talent. I hope JP makes progress in the 2nd half. Alos, let these players learn how to play. Remember our record in Kelly's first year, a team that also included Reed, Bruce, Tasker, Metzelaars, Wolford, Hull & Talley, among other...4-12. I'm just as frustrated as the next fan, but we have to remind ourselves, it is a new era with Marv/Jauron. It will take time to remove the TD stain from the franchise.

I thought the REAL good news was that we don't play NE again in 06.

Ralph will spend, of that I'm positive. From his recent quotes, he wants to win a SB more than anything in life... "What really upsets me the most: Before Marv and Dick came in, we regressed so badly," Wilson said. "We let players go. We let Pat Williams go. We let Ruben Brown go. There seemed to be too many personalities involved. People say, 'Hey, forget it, Ralph. Look forward. Be optimistic.' But I can't help but look back and say that at my age, I threw five years away." http://www.democratandchronicle.com/apps/p.../610230332/tbd/

I'm getting hungry....mmmm....wings!!

Schobel actually plays incredibly against NE. Its the other 14 games of the year that he is only average.

I'd rather force it. McGee and Clements have basically been emasculated by the 10 yard cushion they are forced to give on every damn play. Let em play tight. Then, at least, they may be able to make a play on the god damn ball. If they get beat, they get beat. At least McGee would not be overthinking so much and could simply let his athletic talent take over and react. Give me tight man, with safety help deep, in case someone gets beat. As far as dictating down and distance (and I can't believe I'm saying this) but bring the house a la Jerry Gray in 2004. Bringing the house, with tight man, will cause turnovers and big plays for us, and the occasional big play for them. Big fuggin deal. Thats what centerfield safeties are for. It would be better than this one-step-removed-from-a-prevent- defense crap that dares an offense led by Brady to string together 15 plays. Of course, he's gonna do it.

I played football, baseball etc. with Mike (2nd cousins). I played basketball against Eric Eberz, who played at Nova. Thats about it tho.

It could be. Too bad there is no true difference maker. All three are good complemenatry type players. I can see all of them being absolute monsters (a la Bryce Paup) if we had that one guy who could command a double team.

The Republican party is a split party, always has been. It is comprised, chiefly, of the Christian coalition and libertarians. Neither group could win on their own, both groups have similar disdain for the Democrats, but there is an underlying tension between the two groups.

We gotta get you one of these.... http://www.icejerseys.com/vintage_buffalo_sabres.php

Ahhh, I love McFaddens!!

Which one?

This is great...a Flyer fan reaction...

Here's the deal... I've been calling around looking to buy a cord of firewood for the winter. About the cheapest I've found is 250 bucks for mixed hardwood (oak, maple, only some cherry). For an all-fruitwood cord, its 450 bucks. This is a lot of cash. If you want to make some cash, with the downed trees and all, here's the plan.... My sources in WNY indicate that people are just putting signs on their lawns, "Free Wood", come take it away. We rent an 18 wheeler (with a driver), load it full of wood and bring down to NYC. I'll handle storage and distribution down here. We sell it for 150 - 200 a cord, split the profits. Not a bad call right???

Really, I'd say Brady. He make their entire offense go. Without him, forget it. Last year, make sure you take into account their schedule. They started vs. Raiders, @Car, @ Pitt, vs. SD, @Atl, @Den. They went 3-3 through that slate. 7-3 through the rest of the season. Seymour played 12 games last year. Their D had problems stopping folks, but Brady put up MVP-type numbers. They are both terrific players, I just think Brady makes that whole team tick.

No doubt Seymour is a great player, maybe top 5 defensive players in the league. But Brady is in a class by himself. Would you like our chances to win more if NE was minus Seymour or Brady?

uh,oh!!! http://www.stadiumwall.com/index.php?showtopic=25951

In college we all used to get together in the student lounge to watch "Brenda" (Vanessa Marcil) on General Hospital. Man was she smokin'

Brady....overrated? Please. Say what you will, but he's the best player in football. By far.

At least we made the playoffs with him.

God I hate Donahoe. Please lets rebuild the lineS.

And the whiffffff.

Also, I think that Marv took a look at the O and said, yep, we have decent skill position guys. Let them gel together and we'll work on the D. Also, the opportunities to "fix" the OL this offseason were pretty limited to signing FAs (Hutch, Bentley). There was no LT prospect, nor was there a decent one for us to draft given our position (if we lost @Cinci in 05, we'd have had D'Brick. Thanks Mularkey). I see a big push for the OL this offseason. I'm also hoping the DL gets some attention.

So, we could take that money, sign Steinbach and draft Joe Thomas (I only wish). Plus we could pick up a top DT. Nice.
