credit Goodell regime for no more force out rule and stricter interpretation of finishing a catch while going to the ground, although I believe that technically started a couple of years prior to goodell. Two rules for the opposite side that I can think of.

So since everyone is sure that this record will be beat easily.... Anyone down for an ban bet. If the record is passed next year I'm banned for a year. However takes this bet and the record is not passed is banned for a year.
Some of the better rushing teams are PAC-10 teams.
Meme needs to be Big-12, or we can just blame Leach/Humme.

I love me some defense, but who gives a shit? Good D's will still be good and the shitty ones will be shit.
I'm gunna keep linking this until you guys stop bitching:

The 7 seasons that more points were averaged all came before 1966.

The 2 things that really turned things to where it is today is the Brady Injury and Harrison's hit on Mohamed Massaquoi.
I'm not bitching...
but from 1991 to now, over a 3 point increase in average per team, that's significant. Not sure what you think that proves.
pre-super bowl era, a receiver wasn't down by contact, you had to actually keep him down on the ground. Passing was still new, it was a far different league.
I really think no contact after 5 yards is much more significant.
Well with RBs and their short careers, he should go wherever he can get the most guaranteed. But as far as being a system guy, I think he's more than that. He has two 70+ yard receiving TDs this year. The ZBS can make any back look good, but it takes a special back to do what Davis and Foster have done, vs what guys like Steve Slaton and Olandis Gary did.
I would hope he and the team could come to a mutually beneficial agreement. People dump on the Bears for not dealing with Forte, but they did offer him 4 yrs and $28 million. The reality is that a RB just isn't going to make much more than that, not matter how good he is
edit: Brady Quin taking some of the first team reps. Bet the farm on PITT. Tebow may suck, but he sucks less at running that unconventional offense than Quin does at running a normal one
As far as the rule and offense changes, the scoring is only a problem is the very specific case of teams with very good QBs. Average and bad offenses still score in the teens and twenties. But the rule changes have made elite QBs unstoppable. Teams shut down Montana by beating him to a pulp. Can't do that anymore
I can't see Shanahan spending a ton of money on a runningback. I think he buys into the hype that any RB can be great in his system.

You don't post in here enough to make this a fair bet.
Could be worse, that Jonmlenan or whatever his name is showed up early in this thread after being a ghost all year. That's the guy that claimed that the Saints had one of the best run D's in the league when they won the SB.

I didn't see the Colts racking up alot of run yardage against them in the SuperBowl. He has to be on to something!

And he would be absolutely right. Washington would not be a good choice for Foster because they don't have the hogs on the OL that Houston does. You know full well that he worked magic with his RBs out in Denver. I fucking love ZBS and wish the Giants would use it more often like when they had Tiki here. Problem is Bradshaw is undisciplined as fuck. I feel he'd be a perfect back for it.

How fucking dare you. HOW FUCKING DARE YOU!!!! Jonm knows people who have been to hospitals! DON'T YOU FUCKING QUESTION JONM YOU HEARTLESS BASTARDS
Agreed. I don't think it is smart for any team to break the bank for a RB in this day and age regardless of scheme. They are just too injury-prone and interchangable.
If RGIII is available and the Browns don't take him, they should just be contracted. He's reminiscent of Steve Young and the Browns need a QB badly.
Yeah, real fans are here all the time.
No matter how many times their team gets blown out in a row!

I have a feeling the Texans will keep Foster. Or I hope so. I hope they don't let him walk and they try and trot Tate out there as a replacement or something. He's much more than a RB in this system, dude is great catching the ball as well.
@mech: no texans were named to the all pro team, some received votes though.
I think he is very good, he shows great patience and vision when making his reads and hitting the holes. He makes people miss and breaks tackles and makes it look easy. I feel like he is a pretty special runner and often amazed when watching him. As to whether or not he could succeed under a different blocking scheme, I haven't a clue.
I hope they keep him after this year, i will be very upset of they let him go and keep tate.

Edit: Also I guess I'm going to be busy during the early game tomorrow. Not a good start for when I become a Bengals fan next year

Yeah...yeah I would...

They will give up both of their firsts for Matt Flynn which will cause RGIII to fall to the Redskins.
Or at least that is how it goes down in my wet dreams.

That shouldn't be a surprise. And also that should be a good thing for the Falcons, because Troy and Joe are probably so emotionally hurt that the Cowgirls didn't make the playoffs. They'll be nitpicking the Giants all day.
Also, seems like our RB coach didn't suffer fatal burns but that doesn't mean much in the long run. Hopefully it's not too serious, but this is probably his last year as a coach. Sad
Pouncey not playing either? Blugh. So does that put...Essex back at center? I like him there much more than fucking Legursky, we need to cut that son of a bitch.

Quinn plays the first 59 mins, tebow closes the game out. And so it is that we see the birth of the first nfl closer

I've always sort of wondered why we never see anything like this. I know that's gonna get a lol out of you, but if you have a great down the field QB yet an awful redzone guy (this season, Ben fits this!), I wonder if a team would ever do this.

I think the Saints shattered the redzone/td percented recored this year
Cam Newton would be a killer red zone qb I think.
(Removing any notions of contract or roster or anything, just if you had a Cam Newton clone to put in or something)
I liked it when Pittsburgh used Kordell as an inside of ten yards goal line QB. Should have stuck with that longer.

Cam is too good of an all around QB to be shunted into that sort of position though
A fucking Jets fan is bitching about Robert Kraft? Fuck that noise. Without Kraft there is no 2011-12 NFL season. Fucking Jets fans. smh
The 2004 Patriots mauled Colts receivers and got away with it to the point that they 'changed' the rules the next season. Blame it on that, not the Brady rule.

Huh, I don't remember that all too well. Was this when we got into the playoffs for the first time in a while? I remember Slash being a QB against the Pats in a playoff game and it not going so well.
