Lion's WCF memorial patch looks really nice.

Nice throwback to the 60's Lions logo, too.

Bills roster is talented but you go as the QB goes, as they say. And while I'm not as down as LJ on Manuel, I still don't think he has what it takes to bring this roster to the playoffs.



who?

A healthy cross section of the thread? It was a bit hyperbolic. But I saw quite a few people predicting the Niners missed, with Arizona getting the wildcard ahead of them.

Tampa beating Carolina is my sure fire, stone cold lock of the century of the week

lol ok. They don't even know if their playcaller will be there:

Tedford is working part-time from home to help the Bucs cook up a game plan against Carolina's top-billed front seven. If he can't be there in person on Sunday, play-calling duties will fall to the untested Marcus Arroyo, Tampa's quarterbacks coach who has yet to call an NFL play and, at age 34, is a year younger than starting quarterback Josh McCown.

Lovie having huge sway over the offense?

Panthers front 7 is salivating at the thought.

Dolphins depth chart is out for the upcoming game. Looks like Jarvis Landry will handle kick return and punt return duties, as well as being the number two slot receiver behind Brandon Gibson. I love this Landry kid, really excited to watch his career progress.

It'll be interesting to see how Watt's contract impacts the Suh negotiations. He was allegedly demanding to be the highest paid def player in the league so I'd imagine it would have looked similar to Watt's deal.

No way a DT is worth that much, especially considering we might be switching to a 3-4 next season.

So CBS has said who will be announcing the Eagles vs Fighting Gatas:

ANNOUNCERS: Andrew Catalon/Steve Tasker/Steve Beuerlein

Man that must be like their F team.

Isn't Tasker actually kind of good?

Not sure I just know I have heard Beuerlein before and I didnt think he was good and I am not even sure who the other guy is. I just thought that the Eagles would get one of the top groups since they do good ratings and CBS doesnt get their games very often.

The reporters are getting it right, that $51 mil for Watt is guaranteed, just like Smith's amount. Watt's going to be on the roster in 2016 just like Smith will be on the next March. The only way it doesn't happen is if a complete disaster of historic proportions happens this season.

I get why people are saying Smith and Watt's guaranteed money isn't really "guaranteed," but let's be serious...they're getting all of that money.

Yeah, wonder where Suh will go. Think he cares about playoffs?
Click to expand...

Honestly not really. I think he wants to be in a big market so he can continue to build his brand/image, he's rather distant from teammates (although he has gotten better with that) and seems to do his own thing. I could see him being fine with losing as long as he was in New York for instance.

?

Haven't heard about a change to the 3-4, though it'd make sense given coaching personel. In that case Suh would definitely be out, though I wouldn't count out Fairly coming back, perhaps as a 3-4 end. Not sure if he'd be a good fit at nose.

Oh yeah. Thought there was something else. With Bradford gone we gotta pay him big.

He seems like a hard worker at least. Feel like he would want to be rewarded in winning. Though he might just be more concerned with being seen as the best DT in the league.

Guaranteed is a word with a definition.

In an NFL contract context it's even more important because real gauranteed money can be allocated against the cap now. "Guaranteed" money cannot.

The fact that Suh is putting it out there that he wants to be the highest paid defensive player shows that he doesnt care about winning. No way is a team that is close to a SB giving a DT $18m a year.

Yeah, Suh doesn't strike me as the kind of guy who cares about playing for a winner. I think he'd go to Oakland if they threw him enough money. Wouldn't be surprised if they do actually.

If he doesn't, he probably stays, but that contract will have to be big enough that it isn't a joke, so the team's probably out of contention for the rest of this decade if so.

As long as he doesn't go to the Broncos or Seahawks. wherever he goes to get paid is alright with me.

Brady is repping Uggs and Gisele is repping Under Armour. All is right in the world. Brady should be ashamed of his gold digging way though.

I think Suh will be fine, he's already made more money than 99% of the population under that old rookie scale.

But hey, you're only worth what someone's willing to pay you. Hell, for as fucking mediocre a QB as Kyle Orton is, he'll pocket $10m over the next two years to lead the Bills to back to back top 5 picks.

What does that have to do with what you quoted?

I think the Browns/Steelers game was supposed to be getting a really good announce team because they were going for Manziel.

Suckers!!!
