But look where he's coaching. Who wants that job? I like Fisher and the Rams a bunch but who would want to coach for that organization?

...and there you have it.
Later, Perry.
Later, Perry.
That one they showed over and over at stadium and honestly it didn't seem like DPI or helmet to helmet. It was shoulder to helmet.
Beckham is the real deal and probably top 5 in the league already at the WR spot but he was being overly dramatic there.
Idk who I'd choose between Eli and Ben, both are clutch as fuck.
Seeing as how Eli is in my good graces forever, so I'm going with him.
Fuck Ben for that 05 year! That fat fuck has no business chasing down corners who've been stabbed by their wives. That fumble return could've been one of the best playoff plays in franchise history. ;__;

Its not nice to use drugs that powerful and not offer to share them with anyone else.
Well when I say slim chance, I'm talking like Dumb and Dumber "1 in a million" "so you're saying there's a chance" kind of shit.
A mistake IMO. I think Giants need a fresh set of eyes and a new voice. I know most Giants fans probably disagree but the team seems to underperformed every year.
That would have been the most undeserved playoff win of all time. Or at least in the discussion and in the top 3.
Fucking fat fuck Bettis and his greasy ass hands...
Thank God Ben is always the clutch one and saved the season.

BAAAALLLINNN'
Cruz is the same way. I wish they would both cut that shit out.
Wooo NFC West champions!! It took every ounce of strength we had but we wiped that smug smile off of Shaun Hill's face and we did it in the trenches!! The #1 D and it ain't even close.
A new banner going up, this is the greatest day in Seattle history!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey so Dolphins-GAF, what was the deal with Mike Wallace yesterday? Did he get benched by Philbin or did he take himself out of the game? Local radio talked about it for a bit this morning.
He quit.

Yes I deserve that beatdown. I was going to mention that Deebo's fines were all related to actions while the ball was in play. My point, however, is that Harrison was routinely fined as Goodell's whipping boy.
Suh is Goodell's new whipping boy.
The CB ran into him before the ball got there. It was close in real time but apparent on the replay. It's something I would have overlooked if it wasn't for the other stuff on the play. Shoulder to helmet contact is equally illegal as helmet to helmet there.
Don't disagree on OBJ overreacting, I was pretty annoyed when he ripped his helmet off.

Reports say it was a little of both, Wallace was bitching about not getting the ball and Philbin was sick of his shit. Not sure who did the benching though.

Why do you troll the Lions like this rando?
Can't you see they've been through enough. 50 years of despair and they finally win a couple games and you begrudge them for celebrating it? Not everyone can just show up out of the blue and start winning Owls.
Plus they still have to live in Detroit. Take pity on their poor souls

McCarthy didn't play like shit in the NFCC game or throw an awful game-ending INT.
They should actually call that more often.
I see Ben and Fraud get hit in the head all the time.
They haven't underperformed the last couple of years, the talent just wasn't there in key spots and underperforming units will have their coaches removed.
Except Tom Quinn, he and his perfect hair will survive anything.

He quit because he's a fucking bitch playing for a timid head coach. Basically came off the field after the Clay TD and told Philbin he was done for the day.
Meanwhile Rex Ryan gets a Gatorade bath for leading his team to 4 wins.
No one gives a shit about Philbin. Fuck this franchise.

Nope.
The team has just completed its first year under a new offensive coordinator that ownership is very high on and who they view as a possible successor to Tom Coughlin. A coordinator and offensive staff that put a top 10 offense, the #7 red zone offense and an improved Eli Manning who put up some of the best numbers of his career on the field. All with a patch work offensive line, a bunch of unknowns at WR and TE and with the help of an extremely dynamic rookie wideout.
You dump Coughlin, you dump McAdoo and you introduce a second offensive system in as many years. That wasn't going to happen nor should it happen if McAdoo is the Giants future. The defense needs a new coordinator and a fresh perspective but John Mara made the right decision in retaining Coughlin. Who you bringing in to be that "fresh new voice"?
Also, under perform is sort of a hilarious adjective to use here considering the massive holes this team still has and the injuries they sustained throughout the season.

lol they dedicated the last twenty seconds of First Take to the Panthers

Yes the thread went, as Dragon put it, typical GAF melodramatic.
I may have been involved.
It was the right call by the rule, but it's also one that's commonly overlooked depending on the impact. Honestly Fatford went all Brady pussy asshat and overreacted to get the call. Should be fined for diving.

This true which is why guys would tee off on Rodgers in 2010 before he had protected WB status. So many helmet to helmets.
If McCarthy wouldn't have ignored the hottest running back in the league during that game then the Giants might have actually honored the run and not basically sent everyone back to protect the pass. I'll argue to this day that the reason the Packers lost that game was because McCarthy called his worst game as a head coach.
Jarrod Bush also trying to pick up and run a fumble instead of just falling on it like you're supposed to not too long before also would have ended the game too (because he tried to pick it up and run he didn't secure the fumble and promptly lost it). That play permanently put Bush on my shit list as well.
I just wish they'd call it for real blows to the head and not love taps to the face mask.
Speaking of face masks - they need to start calling face mask penalties on ball carriers more often. Grabbing someone's face mask =/= a stiff arm.

Agreed. I have my Giants winning it all next season. You can take that to the bank.

I can tell you how the Steelers use Martavis Bryant. Packaged plays only. No adjusting routes to the defense, no hots. In fact, I can only recall him running three routes; post, go and quick screen. It's worked to the tune of 26 for 549 and 8 td's in 10 games.
I think most of these young wide outs are exactly who we thought they were. Most of them are so physically talented, that they were able to use their gifts immediately. In a year or two, when they get a grasp on some of the more advanced concepts, they'll be running roughshod over this league. I think Watkins, ODB and Evans, in particular, will be amazing.
Speaking of which, what are your thoughts on Watkins first year? Were the Bills limited by his grasp of concepts or did they run a full range of offense with him?
FV, thoughts on Beckham?
It's weak, but it's the rule so I'm usually mad when they don't call it.
There was a much weaker hit by Woodson a few years back. Him jumped trying to block a pass and his hand grazed the side of someone's helmet and it got called. From then on, I wanted it called for everything
It often goes unnoticed though
Rules are rules.
Speaking of adjustments to the defense, I still can't get over that TD Ben and Brown had to ice the game.
I have no idea how Ben knew that was going to happen and the ball was thrown perfectly.
God it is going to suck when Ben is not here anymore and we go back to shitty quarterbacks. We have been spoiled for so long as Steeler fans.

Patriots, Steelers and maybe the Packers (mainly because Packers GAF are a bunch of jerks). Though I would root for the Packers if it were a Patriots/Packers SB this season.
Not future, but I'll speak for all Giants fans. The most dynamic offensive player we ever had and it is not even close.

That's definitely true for Bryant. Wheaton didn't get much PT last season. He definitely appeared to have a better grasp of things this year. He served pretty well as the Manny Sanders replacement.
Did you see something different re Wheaton?
Yeah, it's a rule that definitely needs to be revised though. Incidental contact when trying to get a hand in the QB's face and disrupt his vision shouldn't be a penalty in my opinion. But modern day NFL likes to pretend QBs are made of glass.

First time in franchise history the Dolphins have a 4,000 yard passer and 1,000 yard rusher.

Something just broke in my brain...
Question for Giants fans - Would Beckham have had the same impact this season had Gilbride still been the offensive coordinator?
I'm inclined to say no. Gilbride's system of branching routes and complexity had given nearly every rookie wide receiver the Giants had in his tenure problems.

Is 4k yards even a milestone at this point?
