Not sure about that penalty

Guys just 1 quarter done here. Lots more game to come

Watching the game in Canada and most are local ads. Missing half the fun and if the game continues this way - all the fun.

Can never stop admiring P manning's accuracy. perfect TD throw

We need a lot of new personnel if we are to make a successful switch to the 3-4. If we acquire all these required personnel via FA , trades or draft, that leaves precious little resources for OL and QB. Where do we get them ? A good off-season will net 3-4 solid players who can start and contribute this season. These players should be split between the O and D. I think we should plug the holes we have in the D (LB primarily) and shore up our offense. That will make sure we have two half way competent squads to field. Going to the 3-4 will almost ensure we will suck on O once more or make a half hearted effort at the 3-4 leaving both squads slightly incompetent

So are we now GT North, Steelers North or Cowboys North ( ) ?

Gives new meaning to "Moving Forward"

You wouldn't want Fox to eat you ?

And thats not saying much

From what little I know of meningitis, it certainly is very very serious (I lost my only brother to it over 40 years ago). Prayers and good wishes for his speedy recovery,

So you prefer this board to intellectually discuss politics ?

You make some good points. I think the argument that the drafted QB can be a bust holds true in either situation - whether or not we get McNabb. If he is a bust, we will not find out till year 2 or 3 or whenever McNabb is done. By that time, we will have built an overall good team, McNabb's career would be done and we will have a big hole at the most important position. In the other scenario, if we draft a QB, he starts NOW and he is a bust, we will still have time to salvage the situation as the rest of the team is built. But the long term potential of a decent QB is huge. My point is that if we think a can't -miss prospect is available in the draft, take him. We do however have to prioritize shoring up the OL this year. If we don't, then we should keep the QB on the bench and let the serviceable guy keep us going. Bringing McNabb behind a suspect line is marginally better than this situation, I agree, but we lose out the draft pick we give up for him. Now if we are likely to get him for a 4th rounder or lower, then perhaps there is a case to be made (which is what you said in the last line also) So, in summary, I think we need to look to boost the OL for sure. And if we manage to do that, getting a QB in the earlier rounds may be a good idea.

Welcome back to the football discussions, Dean

Dear Lord ! Please let the Rams have him.

Amen to that. Along with building an elite team, notice how the players are generally devoid of controversy or self promotion. Not saying that it is entirely due to Polian, but the players he helped choose sure fit in the mold of that classy organization.

I believe he was with the Broncos when they traded for Elway. Just some food for thought. Not sure how the rest of his personnel decisions played out

Thanx for the link. ---------------------------------------- We asked if Reeves would be open to working with Gailey in Buffalo. "I tell you, if I could help Chan Gailey out, I would certainly be interested in that." ---------------------------------------- Very interesting... And Wiki is already updated with this tidbit ------------------------------- Reeves is reportedly interested in returning to coaching for the 2010 season as a part of Chan Gailey's staff with the Buffalo Bills. -------------------------------

I just look the other way and don't care who 'nevergiveup' really is. Why look a gift horse in the mouth ?

I thought you were implying that Edwards said good things about Gailey because he wanted Gailey to get the job. Your example made it sound that way

You shouldn't be cutting and posting full articles here. In any case, I agree the choice of DC is very important. I want a DC who is flexible. It is unlikely that, if we are switching from the Cover-2, then we will get all the required personnel for the new scheme all in one year. We may have to run a hybrid scheme this year with what we have and acquire then shift to a full version of the 3-4 or 4-3. So, an inflexible guy will not make it work this year. By the way • Offensive line: Gailey's position coach in Dallas was Hudson Houck (I am sure I am the first one to snicker at this name, absolutely the first)

Save for the bit where Gailey was doing neither when Herm spoke

If one were to step back and see this situation, it is apparent that no matter who you believe, it is clear that Schotty Sr. did NOT turn the Bills down as the 'Bills FO sucks' crowd were screaming about. Also, Nix's story checks out with Schotty's statements - that Nix was getting more calls than he was making.
