I Believe 8-8 possibly 9-7 with a surprise win against either (Cin,Pitts,Minn). Jets have enough defense to split. NE has offense in passing game, ? running game (lot of old legs). Mia big ?. Is Ronnie truly back, He does seem breakable. Can Ricky carry them again, if Ronnie goes down. Is henne the real deal? Although we play some real contenders ( Cin, Pitts, Minn, GB ) the rest are slightly better, equal, or worse IMO. If this team gets to the bye healthy and playing well, then i billieve anything can happen.

Agreed

Regarding Bold: a.) I am tired of hearing about cheap old ralph. Name a minimum of 3 up to 5 Oline veterans with enough gas left that you could have bought to win now. b.) We have purchased FA's in the recent past who did not pan out. c.) The "star" which i believe you are referring to (Peters) was being upgraded commensurate with his skills, but felt he deserved much more and forced his own departure. Remember he was considered a ? coming out of college and not drafted by anyone. This year we will see if he is a true star in philly without a mobile qb to protect.

Impress me wit 10-yard time. A 40 is only good once someone is in the clear or if your O-line gives you that much time to throw, but then the defender is already 10 yards downfield and only has to cover 30 yards.

let's hope it's a five player line and not 11 different lineman who only play one or two games together and aren't changing positions.

Don't know, but this is almost akin to the old 17 round draft days. Back in the day each team took as many as 17 to 20 players in a given year. Tahat way even veteran backups had to fight for their jobs. once in a while a John Unitas or Jack Kemp would show up. In the early nineties, when Dallas was a joke, jimmy johnson traded herschel walker to minn for a boatload of picks. Then because of plan B free agency and Dallas's 1-15 record, he was able to look at every free agent first. It would appear that this FO is using a strategy similar to this. Bring in a playmaker and quality players(not merely by their measurables, but their on-field performance), add what amounts to late round draft choices that were considered draftable as udfa's, then find backup FA's to fill. It may take 2-3 years to get everyone you want, but then you're solid for years to come.

How quickly we forget the lou saban years. it was team concept both times. after he left both times the team had a slide. It's not about the super star or the super coach, it's about who can get a team to play together. I believe Gailey will be that coach.

Everyone seems to put a great premium on a player's time in the 40. Is that really critical for Dline or pass rushing LB's? I would think explosiveness and technique would be better measurements for these positions. Unfortunately I don't have a way to measure first step explosion. What say you?

Question. Assuming we have a top quality Defensive Backfield, would it not be wiser to force the opposition to throw the football rather than run it on us? Give that we will face Sanchez and Henne (two QBs that are not elite at this time) I believe we would be better served forcing the jets and dolphins to pass not run. Brady however is Brady.

Then don't. Come back in a year or two to ride the bandwagon.

Are you referring to the 1st Amendment, which allows for freedom of religion. For that amendment makes it clear that the Government shall not impose a state mandated religion on its citizens. Many of our laws were in fact drawn from religious laws and background, some good and some bad. Bringing one's belief in God's will determining your decision as to running for public office or not, is not a new concept. It does in fact go back to the founding fathers. In addition to the fact that the Declaration of Independence uses the concept of rights endowed by a creator ( even though the Declaration is not a part of the Constiution). To the point of hypocrisy, Gingrich or anyone else, we are all hypocrites simply because we are not perfect or infallible.

Please point out the Separation Clause, if by that you refer to "separation of church and state". I seem to have a problem finding it in the US Constitution.

Please tell me who would need to trade up to our position so we could trade down or vice versa. Although this trade talk is always nice one would need a trading partner that has a need for your position.

Getting FA's you would love to have does not get us to the promised land. Build a Core to get close as miami and the jets have then fill in the final pieces with FA's. This is not Fantasy Football wwhere you have the pick of the league. let the new leadership work their way or buy the team and do it your way.

Actually that's 1 superbowl in 5 trips. Who knows if he had stayed in Buffalo we may have won one of those other two.

Marty was fired and never madeit to the super bowl. Let it go.

Wrong again. Total responsibiltiy belongs to career politicians in Congress. The McClains and other Repubs that have come and gone, Kennedys, Reids, Pelosis, etc. You sir seem to not know or do not understand the roll of the congress vs. the presidency. The House of Representatives is responsible for all Financial bills ie The Budget. The Senate is Responsible for ratifying treaties and Ratifying Wars (legal or illegal Vote no and the President must bring the troops home.) Finally the President's responsibility is to protect the interests of the people by approving or vetoing bills that come from congress to his desk, then executing the laws, not formulating policy as a Corporate CEO. He is also entrusted with negotiating international treaties, then presenting them to the Senate for ratification or denial. HE IS NOT a Sovereign ruler. Finally, the Supreme Court is charged with reviewing bills that become law as to constitutionality before we are apprehended for breaking them. If you have not read the federalist papers, now would be a good time to do so. We have all became serfs to the federal government going back to the end of the 1800's. It is not because of Bush or Obama, it is because we keep electing the same congressmen over and over thinking they will change. insanity prevails!!!!!!

I tell my grandchildren that these players were given much in life. They were elevated to their incomes because they had certain athletic skills, but that did not give them the right to break society's rules, then just go back to the way it was. I believe they shouldn't be allowed to play anywhere. They should find a new occupation.

I never considered him a real threat in the pros. He ran upright and went down very easily. As I remember it he would go down on first contact because of his running style.

Simply vote for the players to be named as "All-Pro" and forget about the game. It's a meaningless all-star game, as it occurs after the season, when most fans have started looking at Baseball, NBA (in-season) All-Star game, and NHL (in-season) All-Star game.

Thank you for the research.
