Cassel started that game.

Yeah, you're right. Totally forgot Brady got Pollard'd that year.

These pictures have convinced me that all football games should be played in the snow.

The thing is it doesn't matter who is out there for NE. As long as Brady and Belichick are around they just find ways to eek out win after win, especially against divisional opponents. They could put the practice squad and Brady out there and I still wouldn't have a bit of confidence.

To be honest I think the Dolphins might have more talent on the active roster at the moment, but I don't think it'll matter. The second half of the Pats game from earlier this season totally broke my spirit, man.

Being more talented than the Patriots is not hard.

As you said though, it's their QB and coach that keep them competitive. Belichick specifically. He knows exactly how to keep Brady relevant. Consistent talent on the offensive line, and the proper weapons on offense. Once Brady couldn't throw like he used to Belichick committed to rebuilding the running game to keep him safe. Seamless transition form big play to west coast to ball control offenses.

A little. It's mostly a symbolic move. Both Wilson and the Rangers agree that actually playing baseball isn't going to happen in the foreseeable future, but they're leaving the door open.

Same reason why there are a lot of stormtroopers in Star Wars. Some people just enjoy evil, and some people are just too brainwashed to realize it's evil.

Really cool stuff, Milchjon. Nice find

Can someone make this an avatar for me? With possibly the Santa hat on?

Gutshot get your McCoy jumping over Redskins avatar back too!

Then we can be avatar bros brah

Why do Dolphins fans exist, then?

I was going through overthecap's potential cut list. Some interesting names on the list..

I was going through overthecap's potential cut list. Some interesting names on the list..

DeMeco Ryans ILB Eagles $6,900,000 Trade for former star LB never worked out...time to move on

Lolwut? He's been the Eagles' best defensive player over the past two years.

EDIT: The other Eagles players on this list do make some sense.

- Casey will almost certainly be cut. He's been seeing a bit more use the past couple weeks, but it is primarily as an extra blocker, as the Eagles have moved away from the straight read-option with Foles at QB. You don't need to pay $4m/yr for a blocking TE/HB.
- Avant has done nothing as a receiver this year, but they still may bring him back next year as Chip likes him as a blocker and he brings some veteran leadership. Could go either way with him.
- Cary Williams has been solid, but not spectacular. If they draft a CB in the 1st round, he may be gone.
- Brad Smith has actually replaced Damaris Johnson completely. But the role of KR/PR and 4th WR still could use an upgrade.

Why the fuck would we cut Gresham?!?

Gabbert. Cap hit $0 lol

He's not that good, and overpaid.

 

[Spinluck]

Ouch. And you say i'm an asshole.

You ARE.

 

[xnipx]

Why the fuck would we cut Gresham?!?

Because the guy from notre dame is better. And cheaper. But please keep him on the bench in favor of gresh. We greatly appreciate it here in the afc north.

There is no way the Eagles cut Ryans.

[Fantomex]

So regarding the Redskins situation. We baaically have to admit that McNabb was right all along?

This is scary.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Based on that NPD thread:
1) Vita is dead
2) WiiU is deader
3) The salt on GAF will be delicious (as a neutral) when XB1 outsells the PS4 in December in the US
4) Call of Dooder will continue to sell forever

Who let Mike Mitchell into the Illuminati?

Eagles are in pretty decent shape with the cap so I wouldn't mind bringing any or all of these guys back.

Avant is most likely the one gone especially if they are going to resign both Cooper and Maclin.

Cary Williams definitely deserves to be back. He wasn't signed to be some spectacular big shut down corner. He was signed for what he is, solid. And he has been. He has a nasty attitude, doesn't shy away from tackling, and has taken a leadership role on the defense. Even if they draft a corner there is no guarantee he starts right away. I think out of the two FA CBs they brought in, Williams has outplayed Fletcher.

Looking back at it, guys like Fletcher, Williams, Barwin, and even Chung have been great pick ups. Sure the D started off like trash but all these guys like to hit, tackle, and have improved as the season has gone along. Just need to infuse more young talent through the draft across the defense.

Bradford will not renegotiate his deal to take less money, and they won't cut him.

so funny. Casey is not a blocking tight end. Dude has great hands.

I remember when the eagles got him, texans fans and philly fans were all "oh man reid/kelly will find a great use for him, unlike kubiak"
at least with the texans he scored some TDs and got playing time.

I feel bad for him, he could be so much better, but he was apparently misused twice so far.

GAF gaming side is not full of reasonable people.

The pre-emptive backlash already started in that thread last night.

Full disclosure: I'm rooting for both consoles (two consoles selling this well is unprecedented and speaks well of the current state of the VG industry imo) and I have both consoles in my house at the moment. I just think its funny how all of the gaming side "experts" thought they had this generation all figured out and (at least not at the moment) its not panning out that way.

Yeah, I wouldn't mind bringing any of these guys back either. Personally, I think Fletch has been the better corner, but Cary does bring some attitude to the D, which I like.

BTW, nice avatar change. I cropped the pic a little for you. Here ya go:

Yeah, I think when we drafted Ertz, he basically took over what would have been Casey's role. Ertz is a younger, cheaper, and arguably more talented version of James Casey.

Well at the time we signed him Reid was already gone. Kelly wanted to run two TE sets. Or at least he wanted a 2nd TE.

But then during the draft Ertz fell to them and they selected him. Both Ertz and Casey have seen little action until recently. Ertz especially has seen an increased role.
