    How did Kiko do in 2014?

     

    So far, we've paid Kiko for two years of work and he's given us one. That's not good ROI.

     

    I like Kiko but we have a paucity of talent on offense and an excess of talent on defense.

     

    And if we can't establish a running attack in 2015, we're screwed.

    I don't believe Kiko has been paid for two years. If, as I believe to be the case, Kiko spent the season on the NFI list, he would not have received his base salary or any bonuses. He also did not gain a year accrued on his contract. If he was IR'd, he would have received his base salary.

     

    Perhaps these two items have something to do with him wanting out. He may have been pissed that the Bills stuck him somewhere that meant he didn't get paid instead of IR When he was injured working out. Maybe the Bills were not convinced that the injury occurred during a workout and thought it may be the result of some other type of screwing around, so they didn't want to pay him and had soured on him.

    Ok, grammar mistake aside yes he was one of the big reason Eagles did miss the playoffs, look at his performances late in the year vs Seattle vs Dallas and vs Washington, he was very average and those games and as a result Eagles were finished. Sanchez is a turnover machine, plain and simple. I much rather have a QB that I know I don't have to worry that once every 5 pass may be an interception.

    In order for Sanchez to not sink a team, he needs to be in a situation similar to the two years in a row in which the Jests made it to the AFC title game. He needs to be on a team with a stacked defense (check) and a commitment to running the football (supposedly that's the plan).

     

    If you can stay in every game with your defense and running game, a guy like Sanchez can serve as an effective manager. Let him hide behind the run and short pass game in close contests, drawing the defense in tight, then have him throw the occasional, well-timed, deep ball against man coverage, which we know our receivers are fully capable of beating.

     

    The Eagles are an uptempo offense that likes to put the game in the hands of the QB, and after a full season of Chip Kelly film, teams knew how to defend it.

    And again, it pains me to have to take this side in a discussion.

     

    Do I think Sanchez is a very good qb? Absolutely not. However, do I think there is a better *realistic* option out there? Absolutely not.

     

    With the options out there right now, we just need to find the guy who will screw it up the least.

  3. Not only is Mark Sanchez is not even the best option, Rex would be foolish to dreg a Sanchez reunion. Sanchez proved that he is just a mediocre last season with this performance down the stretch that costed the Eagles a playoff spot. Sanchez is basically EJ Manuel who is more prone to turnovers because he is not adept at reading defenses. Guarantee if this happens is another wasted season.

    Costed? Really?

     

    In all seriousness, I think that of all the FA QBs available, Sanchez is the best one... it really pains me to say that, but it is the truth. We need another option at QB, and unless we can swing a trade for Bradford (which sounds unlikely at this point), dirty is the best available.

  4. Supposedly, Payton didn't know anything about the bounty program, but was suspended because, as head coach, he was ultimately responsible for the goings on with the team. Same can be said for belichick in this case even of he was unaware of the practice (which I am sure he wasn't.)

     

    What many people seem to be leaving out is that, if the bald were deflated to the quarterback's preference, the golden boy was clearly involved in the actions and benefitted from it. Marsha should also be in line for strict league discipline.

  5. Terry was so thrilled, he offered to drop him off. Of course, the plane didn't actually land in Jacksonville... douggie's inflated ego and sense of self-importance slowed his descent enough to make the drop survivable.

     

    Can't necessarily say the last couple of weeks will be survivable for his career, though.

  6. There is all that matters :) But of course she needs to be there until there is a loss, you have to respect the streak! :)

    Oh, and I like the "yet" in your post :)

     

    She'll be there every week, win or lose. Just like my almost 4 year old daughter is there every week, demanding that I play the shout song every time the Bills score a touchdown.

     

    The pic is of me and my oldest from last season.

  7. if you think the zebras are confused now. Wait until you see them trying to figure out how to enforce 2 penalties with different yardage and down results. For example, what do you do on a fourth and 10 with a defensive PI 30 yards downfield and a offensive holding called. Do you give the offense first down even though they held? The majority of the current rules don't lend themselves to having multiples called. Also, what do you do if 4 are called on the same team concurrently, enforce all?

     

    I'd say "gameplay" penalties should offset, like your PI vs. holding example. Replay the down. Same goes for personal fouls against both teams.

     

    If multiple penalties are called on the same team, enforce whichever one results in the greatest penalty yardage.

     

    Now, in the case of a "gameplay" penalty, like the illegal contact the OP stated, being called on one team and a personal foul of any kind called on the other, I say the personal foul should be enforced and wipe out the run of the mill penalty against the other team.

  8. It was the definition of a clean hit. Shoulder to the chest. You may have called it "Hitting a defenseless receiver" but the point of football is to prevent the other guy from catching the ball. Brooks did it perfectly.

     

    Refs also called a chintzy Roughing the QB penalty on Orton so it evened out in the end.

     

    The rule doesn't prohibit hitting a defenseless receiver. The rule prohibits hitting a defenseless receiver "in the head or neck area."

     

    This is widely misinterpreted by media and fans alike. This hit made no contact to the head or neck area, therefore it should not have penalty. Unfortunately, officials have become overly sensitive to this particular rule and throw the flag every time they see a big hit on a receiver that is above the abdominal area.

     

    These calls need to be reviewable and I believe that, as a result of many bad calls this season, we may be headed in that direction.
