In case anyone was wondering why the Bill's ran the QB sneak on 1st down, I'm sure CG will tell us it was Fitz's turn!

How can a person who is so football savvy to know "he has it" and can carry a team, not know that the trade deadline passed 8 weeks ago?? I don't claim to be able to know talent, but even I know there's a trade deadline. Your credibility of knowing anything drops down to about a zero!!

A good fit for Vick I think would be Minn. They have one very good receiver, also have a great RB, seemed committed to running the ball so not asking the QB to win games. They play offensively like the Bill's should be playing. One top of that a pretty good defense. One are that's hurting them is QB, a little impprovment could make them a top team.

There's a huge number of amazing college QB's who fail in the NFL. So now you're suggesting a guy who in college had the job of not losing games and thinking that he can now become a star. I don't care how good a college team is, if your role in college is not to lose the game, that to me translates to extremely scary NFL prospect.

No I don't see what you mean at all. Likely RW is alot sharper than both of you put together wich really wouldn't say much for Ralph as the bar is set pretty low. Or maybe not, but one thing I do know is that neither of you have a clue as to how sharp or lack there of RW really is!. The first comment was likely somewhat in jest, but then to start off with "see what I mean..." just shows what a complete idiot you really are!

The problem with bringing in Polian is I'm guessing it's a package deal with the son and from what I've read, I think he's a loser who can't get a job without daddy's help. I really don't see what improvement a new prez would make anyway compared to RB. In my view the position of prez doesn't have to know much about football, he needs a strong business mind which RB has. A top notch GM with a new ownership with deep pockets that can now attract a high level coach and players and RB is fine.

What difference would that make when essentially we have a lamb duck owner. Look what just happened in Cleveland, team is sold, new owner brings in his GM and Prez, Holmgrem is out. I think with new ownership Buddy could attract a much better coach. Add to that while RW has spend alot of money on players, (just not always wisely) it's always been a strong rumor he won't spend $$ on coaches. So again that's where the problem seems to be. The ways things have gone this year, I do start to question how much enjoyment RW is still getting from being the owner?? Has he even been to one game this year. All of the negative comments towards him has to hurt him. But maybe the tax issues almost are forcing him not to sell.

Yeah, but that was their last time out, so if there was a bad snap there wouldn't have been time to lime up again for another kick with the clock running. It still made no sense.

From what the announcers were saying it was also sunny during warm ups compared to raining late in the game. There was already a punt and an extra point mishandled. As far as "play-offs on the line", play off have NOT been on the line in weeks. You're dreaming if you think they are. Not saying they shouldn't have tried the field goal, but I do disagree with your arguments for kicking

So I have Sunday Ticket Max. I wanted to watch another game online and tried both on my laptop which still runs on Windows XP could log one OK, but when I'd click to view game, nothing would happen. I've also had issue when I log on it lists the schedule of games from like a month ago and doesn't update to current week. Then I tried on my Galaxy Tab, when I tried there got message stating I need Flash and the Android OS doesn't support Flash so wouldn't work. But yet the DTV website lists the Tab as a viable device to use. So am wondering how to get it to run on the tablet without flash (believe I have Ice Cream Sandwich) and also if anyone knows what are the requirements to run on the laptop or what to do if it just sits then and won't open up a window to view game?

I don't think I'd call Rich Gannon elite. I recall him having a couple of good years with the Raiders, in fact I'd call them very good years, but don't recall much of anything else about his career. And the fact that I don't recall much says he's not elite! As for the rest of the list, agree, Rogers should be in the "A" group. Eli Manning based on big game play belongs there, but still overall needs to show a little more besides playing great every three years. He's very close, likely hte next person to graduate to the "A" team

Most likely Seattle will want a 1st rounder. Too often teams have made that type of a trade and it failed. Look no further than Rob Johnson or Kevin Kolb. One of the few trade successes was Matt Schaub in Houston, but seems to be more failures that deals that worked out.

I doubt a team would waste practice reps on a guy who can't play all year. That being said, sitting in meeting an observing is a big help the following year. Also would think he's work big time on strength and conditioning.

What about Sanchez? Will he also be on the trading block? And may come much cheaper? Baltimore is happy with Flacco, maybe not thrilled but content to keep him. I think the Jet's may have to move Sanchez as relationship is sooo strained at this point, so if forced to make move $$ comes down. For those who want to get rid of CG, bringing in a new QB would likely assure that happens at least by the following year as with CG's offense being rather complex, likely a new QB will struggle learning. Say what you want about Fitz, arm strength is weak, but I think he's one of the exceptions in that he's capable of understanding it. That may be why CG is so in love with Fitz as he's the first QB he's ever had that actually understands it, (just not the arm to go with it) So a new QB will likely struggle, team regresses and if CG does survive this off-season, if the team gets worse, he'll be gone by the following year.

Well Wanny's D is based on rushing only four. With Mario hurt it was killing him. Now that he seems to be back and playing well, the D is doing well. Add a top notch LB in off season and maybe some depth in the secondary who can actually play, a year of experience for Gilmore and Brooks, maybe Sercy starts. Maybe another off season Merriman will even be playing at a high level, or was he only signed thru this season?? Don't recall??

Tressel had a daughter that went to RIT, I'm sure she's graduated by now, (she was there around 5 years ago when my daughter attended) but maybe a younger sibling is there now, so was in the neighborhood. She was a photo science major, recall hearing how she'd bring in for projects sideline photo's from OSU games, that was how she "outed" herself. I belive Tressel was even the commencement speaker the year his daughter graduated. Or maybe the daughter now has a Rochester connection??

Just to be different I'll break it down into thirds. I'd rank him near the top of the bottom third. Between 23 to 26. Will better receivers, may be a little higher. Biggest issue I see are the wild throws. If he could improve the accuracy, probably could live with the other issues like arm strength and would certainly become smaller problems.

Yes noticed that, any games not sold out are not available via mobile. I'm guessing DTV/NFL knows that somehow people can get around the blackout issues on non-sellout,s so they block the game out for entire country on mobile devices.

That's one of the idea's I've read, franchise Byrd as a safety doesn't cost, then sign AL

Yes it's on DTV, ST but if you live in any of the region that's backed out due to no sell out, it's also blacked out on Sunday Ticket. I have ST this year for the first time and I live in NC so here can watch it. I will admit I've enjoyed ST more than I thought I would, mainly watching other games that weren't on locally.

Not allowed to have an early game on CBS, is strange that they are showing the late one. Fox probably figures even though game isn't one too many people will illegally be watching someplace, so no one left to watch early on Fox. Actually if I were the local Fox affiliate, it kind of makes sense to do what they are doing.

If we had drafted Green, likely would not have resigned SJ not for #1 type money, so Green would be #1, maybe small improvment over over SJ, but then still no #2 Dalton yes would have been a smart move in hindsight.

He should fit in great here then!!

And you know this how?? Did RW personally tell you? And even if he did what he publicly states vs what he really thinks, are likely two different things. Any team and any coach in any sport will never publicly state anything negative unless they are going to make a change now. 20 or 30 years ago was common practice to change coaches mid season, that's gone away, so likely CG will be here till seasons end. Will RW fire him then, I'd say there's a good chance it will happen, but whether RW plans to or not, at this point, we have no clue. I do think RW still talks with CG, RB, and Nix regularly, however I don't think he has the energy to put into the team what he once did. He does appear to be slowing down considerably.

From what I've seen, most would punt with three timeouts and the 2 minute warning still left. It was a tough call either way, if they went for it and didn't make it, he'd be ripped for that too. I agree with others the D played pretty well most of the game so punt, pin him which we did and stop them, which we didn't.
