NFL 2015 Week 16 |OT| A Fraud Was Always a Legend
- Thread starter MRSA
- Start date
Eli, Vereen, Jennings, Darkwa, Beckham, Harris, Tye, Flowers, Pugh, Richburg... honestly, everyone else? OK, you can throw in JPP, DRC, and Hankins (even though he had an underwhelming year). But the rest are jags. Prince I want to say I would love to keep but since returning he hasn't been very good in coverage. He's a great tackler, though. With his injury history I'm not confident in a potential big deal he gets is worth it. But... Trevin Wade, Jayron Hosley, Tremaine McBride... Goddamit Reese.
If that is the criteria there isn't much of an argument against Romo.
Cruz, but this roster is god awful, doesn't excuse the Giants for giving Andre Williams so much burn when there's better players on the roster (I'd say for the same for Kuhn but the talent behind him wasn't great either).
If Reese/FO counts on him to be a top 3 WR next year they should be shipped out, too.
Sign a FA and draft another WR in the first four rounds. Then you'll have Beckham, Harris, FA, and draft pick in line in case Cruz isn't the same anymore (he likely isn't).

The most impressive play the Giants made last night was that last millisecond tip on the pass to Wallace in the corner of the end zone on third down.
That was a TD 90 times out of 100.

If you haven't seen Bone Tomahawk, see it.
Fucking Ravens...
Those shits must be so happy that they knocked us out of the playoffs.
Now I remember why I always hated that smug fuck Harbaugh.
It is still our fault though because their defense has been horrible all year. Not surprising at all to see a Tomlin team yet again not take a shit team seriously. We do this at least two times every year.
This game is the worst. I am going to quit football and just watch Star Wars every Sunday. At least that makes me happy!

It's a very real possibility.
Brock's non-throwing shoulder is torn up. Even though it's not preventing him from throwing, I'm guessing it might have some effect on him.
The Steelers flubbed the Ravens game so we just have to win 1 out of the next two to make the playoffs. I'm always down for a road warrior team if we lose the division to the Chiefs and make the playoffs. HFA and byes are nice, but there is something to be said for a team that can go on the road and win. Denver might not be that team, but I hope they have that mentality if faced with that.

I wonder if BG, Randall, uncle bionic, and Milk John have resolved their differences over Ms. Ridley's affection.
Anyone else want to jump in the Rey Battle Royale before I get these betting lines poppin?

At least you aren't Cleveland.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
Everybody in here complaining about their team not playing when it counts, missing the playoffs, etc.
I don't want to hear it. The Lions are winning meaningless games against TERRIBLE teams, and all it serves to do is make Caldwell look good. They're going to keep him as head coach, while your team will rebound and be good against next year.

Is the biggest factor that would put it in doubt, the fact that he is a terrible coach? Lions would be nuts to bring Caldwell back.

Yeah. What would Buffalo fans have to say about missing the playoffs.
its amazing, your football IQ works just fine, except for when you're talking about anything related to the eagles.
lol Why you so angry Cap?
I've read the article twice and missed the "biggest factor" putting his future in doubt both times...
HE DOESN'T WANT TO HEAR IT, WW

Missing the playoffs? I don't know what that feels like.

Niners make tomsula look bad and he will still be back. We have, by far, the worst coaching staff in the league

I'm probably the only Lions fan that won't be upset about Caldwell staying. Maybe Kas but I feel I'm the only one.

For all the crap I give Tannehill I have to admit he is a tough son of a bitch.

Are you guys excited for the Kellen Moore vs. Colt McCoy NFC East Week 17 showdown?

Why are Texans fans such dicks? You would think you guys would be happy.

On Saturday ray diddinger said that he heard from 2 different sources that the Texans are going to make a big push for Bradford. I really hope chip uses the franchise tag on him this offseason if they can't work out a long term deal.

Two teams could be fighting over Sam Bradford?

I am still shocked McCoy is in the league.

Caldwell is definitely coming back. And with a weaker strength of schedule next season we'll probably win some more games against bad teams and potentially compete for a wildcard. All while wasting time that could have been spent rebuilding.
The most damning case against Caldwell has nothing to do with his terrible game management IMO. It has to do with the fact that if he had his way Lombardi would still be OC. We'd still be running terrible 3-4 yard plays, the o-line would still be running a terrible zone blocking scheme, talented guys like Theo Riddick would barely be getting touches, etc.
This team has talent but it also has huge holes. I like our secondary although I wouldn't mind another vet CB. We need a DT, bad. Ngata played himself into shape and has been good lately but it would be idiotic to bring him back as anything more than a rotational guy. Kas was right about Devin Taylor: he's better than his former college teammate Clowney, and while I'd draft another DE I like him and Ansah together. Getting a good disruptive DT would make them even better. And the idea of Ansah getting better is scary as fuck.
Levy will be back next year, but outside of him we need a complete makeover at LB. Our guys are slow and can't cover for shit.
Offense wise we need a RT and probably a new center. Wouldn't mind another RB to replace Bell. TJ Jones has promise as a WR. We need to find another in the draft. Not in the first or second round, Kas. But we need someone who can stretch the field.
I'd prefer to cut Megatron and let him go to a winning franchise but if we keep him we have to restructure his contract. I don't think he's finished. He's a deep threat but can't do it when Stafford is running for his life. Fix the o-line and you fix Megatron.
I don't feel like talking about Stafford right now.

I think it's Jim Bob Cooter making the Lions look good right now.
It's their schedule.
Counterargument: Tannehill FUCKING SUCKS and couldn't complete a pass against the practice squad defense in two minute drills, according to sources. FOH with this but, but, but, look at his grit.
As a matter of fact, yes I'm excited. The battle of the perennial clipboard holders. At least Kellen is starting and getting NFL game reps. Meanwhile Colt just happy to be on a roster collecting a check contributing to the team. I'm even more excited for defensive coordinators that have an offseason to study game film of Kirk Cousins against NFL starting defenses as this might be his Nick Foles season and not indicative of actual performance moving forward.
Charles Johnson?
I'm sure the schedule helps in terms of wins, but the offense definitely felt different after a couple of weeks of Cooter.
