But Denver as a collective seems to choke whenever they go into New England. Maybe the playoffs will be different, I don't know. Don't have a lot of faith that will be the case, but it is the playoffs and you never know.

People said that about the Packers against the Lions as well....
Eddie just didn't give a fuck. And Linsley is a man.
Go on Twitter and you'll ruffle some feathers with that talk. I got angry tweets all night because I gave props to Capers a week ago for holding the lowly Bucs to less points than any other team including the Lions. It's the Bucs, but they have legit targets.
We really could use a true stud at MLB. It's always just some guy. No one dominant.
Mike Daniels is our only real force on the d line. Everyone else is a good rotational player that looks like a starter every now and then.
He's broken. He got paid and fell off. I miss the days of Chris McCalister and Duane Starks. Hopefully Ed will come back as a DB coach one day.

Judging by everything I read, the Packers were going to take Mosley or Shazier and then Borland but they were all off the board.
Why they went to a 4-3 only to ditch it is baffling. I mean it was really ineffective but still.

I think the D has been playing great recently anyways
if anything, you could look to the offense that's in a position to make teams one-dimensional and really help them where they lack, but they aren't capitalizing
I mean you have an offensive line that's playing great, a run game that people have to respect for once, and the best QB in the league... not too many excuses for the lulls they've had for quarters/halves throughout the season
I'm torn on whether or not its a talent issue on defense. I think they have some talented players but they seem to keep making fundamental mistakes - which to me feels like a reflection more on coaching.
Definitely agree though about Ted and free agency. Woodson is probably the best defensive player not-named-Clay Ted has had during his tenure as GM and that was a free agent pickup. Peppers has turned out to be alright as well. If I have one complaint about Thompson its that I think he ignores the free agent market a little too much.

Free agency is for depth, not talent.

Judging by the way he's looked the past few games two more years is optimistic for Peyton.

You mean you're torn whether or not MD Jennings or Charlie Peprah weren't a serious problem? Or Brad Jones and AJ Hawk?
The defense lacks, lacks, will lack playmakers. We lost Jenkins on the line, Collins in the secondary, and Woodson roaming around the field. I don't know how much slack to give him but Tramon had a separated shoulder for awhile to boot.
There's far too little talent on the D-Line and LB which explains the weak ass run defense and inability to collapse the pocket/get a good pass rush.
Capers defense is about containing the QB and forcing bad throws.

Maybe Oakland will overpay for Del Rio while San Fran overpays for Gase.

Lol is it really him or just some random guy defending it.

He missed tackles but you don't bench a Pro Bowl alternate/team leader in a big game like that unless the replacement is good. Horrible coaching decision to punish the wrong guy.
Caldwell was horrible yesterday. He didn't cost us the game but still, the 4th down call at the 31yd line and the challenge...just reeks of smartest man in the room syndrome. Get out of the way and let the team play.

Rex is joining the dark side and becoming the Patriots DC. Thus begins the second Patriots dynasty.

In a perfect world yes, but this one isn't.
No problem with plugging a hole or two through FA. The big splash moves rarely seem to work out, though.

You never know, it could be him. It's 46 degrees in Michigan today, no doubt too cold for Kas to work so he has plenty of time to call in to the radio 10 times :jnc
low key Kas you're my dude tho, keep on keeping on.

Newsday writer tweeted Damontre Moore was really pissed off in the locker room but didn't comment. Wondering if it's about Perry.

Play better defense. That helps to save your coach.
As for Pugh, I got a laugh at the assertion to move him to guard after he explicitly just said the coaching staff has no intention of doing so. Persistent bunch.
He's the right tackle guys.Rex's ego wouldn't allow this
Ha, I wish, man can coach a defense no doubt...certainly going to miss the limp fish post-game handshakes between him and Belichick.
I used to think the same about Revis...funny how money changes ones perspective...but I agree...there wouldn't be enough money to make those 2 co-exist on the same team.

Plugging a hole is signing for depth. It just costs too much money to build your team from FA and the dividends never last long enough. Of course there are exceptions (like the once in a career Manning FA that instantly made the Broncos contenders).

I'd be really really shocked and surprised if the Raiders hired Del Rio. Just don't see it happening.

Yeah some of it was a little too much. I hope all is well with Dig though and he comes back ballin next Sunday.
Revie has always been about the money, everyone knew this. Rex has a shit ton of pride and he wouldn't report to Bill no matter how much money he was offered.
What about the Pats secondary? The CB group went from one of the worst to one of the because of free agency.

Figures.
Listened to the radio during my lunch break, and all of Atlanta is in a state of shock that Smith was let go, and Dimitroff dodged a bullet.
I don't blame them.

Now Kas' excuse is built in. Sorry bros.
Just heard the news of the Suh suspension on the radio and sprinted here.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Cheap-ass motherfucker, I'm not surprised in the least. Also still not even mad because it's all moot following our loss to the Cowboys anyway. He can spend his time cleaning out his locker in preparation to walk from the team during that weekend instead, how convenient!

Just to be clear I had us pegged to lose at Dallas even with Suh in the lineup, so I'm certainly not changing that expectation now.
