Yeah it would....but I'm sure Goodell won't let it happen.

Meaningful week 17 football is the best, none of this 'rest starters' bullshit, either win or go home. And if Miami wins and NE losses next week...I'll have someone kick me in the balls for canceling my trip to Miami to watch Jets/Phins....
Yeah it's not like he's Cutler or Eli struggling through an SEC schedule. At least Carr lights up the cupcake defense, though I do understand he has NFL talent at WR. It's kind of the same with Teddy. I wonder why he struggled this year vs some bad teams
The Texans have to draft a QB, though maybe they slide down if someone really wants Clowney
Pats not making it would be something, but I don't see that happening.

I believe I speak for all of us when I say that you better put this on youtube.

Will do.
And I didn't realize till now that Miami's last game is at home. Thank goodness.
Will the temperature be better in Buffalo since it's at 1pm? Can't be any worse than that Pittsburg snow.

Winning the division is the last thing on my mind, I just hope Miami can take care of Buffalo and the Jets. Those games are far from a given.
It's really hard to bring in new coordinators when Coughlin might not be there in two years. I almost think that they either keep the existing staff and try and re-tool, or it's a several year tear down/rebuild
maybe the Tramon pick turned him into not a bitch
I'd prefer Cleveland taking the best player available at 4 or 5 instead of just taking a QB "because they have to." This team isn't good enough to draft for need. Hell, I'd be fine with Clowney. He and Mingo could be pretty formidable for years to come.
Draft Tajh Boyd with your second first round pick then snag someone like Aaron Murray with a later-round pick. Create some youth and competition at the position.
Pats, do it!

Just imagine if you could have peeked into the future and seen this post before the season started. The Texans season has been insane.

If only we had won at least one against balt/bills/bucs(This one being the most painful) or panthers...I guess the important thing is that we have a chance by winning out and not worrying about other teams after what seemed like another disaster of a season.
Fucking Schaubiak! Sooner both are gone the better!
I feel 2011 was our opportunity if Schaub wouldn't have gotten hurt. Defense was lights out that year
I just don't think this works at QB in the NFL. One guy needs all the snaps he can get. I have problems with Fisher on lots of things, but he has said repeatedly that he will never have a QB controversy on any team he coaches again. It divides the locker room. Gets fans riled up. Undermines the guy who wins/losses the job. The backup QB has to be the confidant/buddy of the starter, not a potential usurper
Mech! What sacrilege is this? I thought you were with the Eagles for life!
Edit: You Too, Squicken!
I feel like Banner and Lombardi think like that as well. They won't just take a QB because they have to. Or they may just trade down for more assets if the guy they want isn't there.

You realize the Texans fell apart because I picked them to win the SB, right? It's just like that avatar thing you're doing only much more potent...
Please forgive me, I did not realize the full extent of my powers.
:jnc
I completely agree but I laughed out loud when I read this.

I'll give him credit for the last few weeks, but it's still a scary thought when he's out there lol
I think you have to discount that UCF/SMU game because of the weather. I'm a Rutgers fan (please shoot me after the seasons Rutgers and the Giants had), so I've watched them play all three of the qb's this year. They were all very good but Bridgewater had a bad game, but I put it more on Strong trying to run a balanced gameplan against a defense that had no clue to play the pass instead of having Bridgewater just wheel it.
Of course, Fresno State was forced to do so because their defense is beyond horrible as well, where Villes/UCF's d were much much stronger. I'd go Clowney though, and draft a qb later on in this draft, the depth in qbs is much stronger than I anticipated.
I think he wants another 16 games against the Washington defense.
As long as you feel like both guys are good, I don't see much of a problem. If whoever wins the job performs well, there's no QB controversy.
Personality has something to do with it as well. I don't think Weeden ever connected with the younger guys on the team. Ideally, you want two young guys who are team-first and OK with competing for the job.
When you draft a QB at #4 or #5 overall, it creates a ton of pressure for that guy to be a superstar.
I'm fine with that.
There's definitely some rich talent in this draft too, I'm just not convinced it's at QB. There are guys like Boyd and Murray who have a chance to be as good or better than Bridgewater and Bortles.

Lamarr Woodley is likely out for the season.

You gotta ask, is it better to hope we lose out and miss the playoffs in order to ensure Schwartz is gone? I honestly think so at this point. It's clear he cannot get the best out of this team, and I just don't want to see him rewarded for managing to stumble into the playoffs, given how weak this division has been due to injuries.
Obviously anything can happen in the playoffs, especially at home. But more than likely we'd just get bombed by Carolina. Shut it down.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
Worst case scenario: we win the last two and Ford says, "Meh. Winning record."
Thanks for the AAC info, btw. Really didn't see much besides a couple of Louisville games
It's probably not the popular opinion but I am totally fine going into next season with Hoyer/JCamp and a project QB to sit behind them for a few seasons (or less knowing our luck).
Hell that's probably the plan anyways, only difference is they may not have their QB of the future in this draft and may be forced to wait until the season after to draft them.
A healthy Hoyer/JCamp mixed with a few new additions on offense plus a young defense gaining another year of experience and they may have a realistic shot at competing for the playoffs.

It'll be interesting to see if that incredibly emotional Packers win serves as a turning point, or if they just shit the bed again. I'm undecided whether or not I want Rodgers back, unless he's a rock-solid 100%. The Packers should win even with Flynn, but there's been a few of those games already which haven't turned out that way.
Well get used to it barring us drafting Teddy Bridgewater it doesn't seem the plan will be to send out the rookie for Game 1 of next season.
Knowing our QB luck that rookie will be starting at some point between week 5 and week 13 though.
With a competent O-Line and run blocking, absolutely.
What they really need is to get a true #2 receiver in this draft. Seems to be a pretty deep WR draft, too.
Guaranteed one of those two picks (thanks Trent Truck) is going towards a WR.
I'm not going to predict one way or the other, but I could see either of those teams beating Seattle, too. The Seahawks have had a lot of games that could have been losses if a single play changed directions. A loss by a field goal or touchdown in a game where the offense was hamstrung isn't too far-fetched.

That was the rumor last year.
If Schwartz is fired and a truckload of cash isn't thrown at Gruden, something is wrong. I can think of several I'd want before Brian Kelly:
1. Jon Gruden
2. Lovie Smith
3. David Shaw
4. Bill O'Brien
5. Bill Cowher
6. Brian Billick
7. Gordon Bombay

Problem is I thought our shitty defense was gone.
I think we went 8-9 games holding opponents to less than 20 points.
Shitty D came back right when shitty Chip, shitty Foles, and shitty special teams all showed up all at once.
And we aren't exactly a great home team.
To me, CLE has the CB, the pass rusher (hopefully), the LT, the WR. It's time to get the QB. I am almost certain that the plan for CLE is to draft the Week 1 starter this year, however that shakes out

The Browns would finish 11-5 this season if they had Tannehill. I agree, time to get the QB!

I want the Steelers to draft a Wide Receiver in the first. Sanders will probably be gone, maybe Cotchery too (9 TDs on the year, people are going to notice that). Ben needs a big target. With Brown emerging as an elite WR, now's the time to get that big number 1 guy. Worse case scenario they fall back and get a tackle, which this draft is flush with.
