HalftimeAdjustment

Since NE, NYJ, and MIA play each other once each, they cannot all lose (although ties are a possibility). However if the Jets lose all their games, the Patriots lose all of their games except vs. the Jets, and Miami loses all of their games except vs. the Patriots and Jets, they would all finish at 7-9 leaving the door open for the Bills. I guess you could say we need a little bit of help.

He just pulled off 67% completions against Baltimore, with no garbage time/prevent defense... I always complained about his accuracy but he has seemed to be better over the last few games. Is it possible that the benefit of being the starter (more reps with the first team receivers to get in sync) pushes his accuracy into the "good" zone? He isn't a "great" QB but he may be approaching "good" QB status at this point. The long balls today looked very good overall.

Please explain what happened to Littman and Overdorf's influence on the Kelsay extension? It doesn't seem like they got him on the cheap.

I thought it would be interesting to speculate on what the market value (in picks) is for the rest of the team, considering all of the interest in rebuilding. Remember, this is not what you would accept for the player, but what you think someone in the league might give up for them. I looked over the roster and here's my list (players not listed have no apparent trade value due to age or performance): CJ Spiller - 2nd + conditional 5th-6th J. Byrd - 3rd L. Evans - 4th L. McKelvin - 5th K. Williams - 5th F. Jackson - 6th T. McGee - 6th T. Troup - 6th D. Whitner - 6th E. Wood - 6th A. Levitre - 7th R. Lindell - 7th B. Moorman - 7th P. Poslusnzy - 7th R. Parrish - 7th Not going to build much of a team with that. The value of picks is too skewed vs. veteran players.

Edwards and a 2012 7th for a 2011 7th round pick.

Good: - For a team changing defensive schemes, there were not a lot of stupid defensive breakdowns. Defense allowed only 13 points. Linebackers were not completely embarrassed. - Special teams coverage units played well after a shaky preseason. Bad: - Offensive line bad in all phases of play. - Gave up on the run game, did not try hard to change running back mix to establish the run. - Lots of negative/zero yard passes and runs. Ugly: - Holding penalties putting team in 3rd and 30. - Intentionally scoring on yourself. How low can we get? "If we can't score on you, we'll score on ourselves". - CJ Spiller: 7 carries for 6 yards and 4 receptions for 8 yards. Start Jackson next game until we figure out how to use Spiller properly, or until he learns to run with defenders all over the backfield.

When you leave your defense on the field for 2/3 of the game and allow 70 plays against, there are more chances for them to get injured. That's why we have only an average amount of offensive injuries and outrageous amounts of defensive injuries...
