Both had shameful offenses, but one of them had an excuse of having almost no above replacement level players in the skill positions.
Is any team willing and able to take on his massive contract?
That's what happens when you just throw all of your talent away and rebuild based on your supposed magic system.
Stafford has some qualities that aren't readily available. He has a cannon for an arm and he's tough. I think he'd be pretty good taking play action deep shots. If he doesn't want to change, then the Lions wouldn't have a choice but to trade him.
Even if we count your failures as somehow equivalent to a success, the Browns have 8 rings. You have zero. Two participation ribbons don't change that.
but thedeuce22's tag said
Berts team
We were outbid for Maclin. We didn't just give him away, and McCoy has been so great in BUF so far...

If the Ravens can't beat Michael Vick's fumbling ass, they need to be contracted.

Would have to look at the schedules to guess at who wins first, but the Ravens will finish with the best record of that group. They're bad, but not that bad.
e: Wait, it's Ravens/Steelers on TNF... with Vick and no time to prepare? Ravens, this week
Ravens on Thursday Night.
A shitty Thursday night game is the best chance for pittsburgh though

Seattle is a sub .500 team though. We suck!
Yeah, I'm not sure what your point is though.
I didn't want us to lose or anything, but it was a bittersweet win.
We also barely escaped that game... against the Titans... who have a rookie QB in his third game... after being up 14-0...
So I'm like, still kind of on the edge. lol

No lies detected.
The NFL is a league of QBs. You either have one or you don't, and when you have one it's readily apparent. The Lions don't.

This has been a rough week of football. Lots of penalties, injuries and sloppy play.
The Browns have 4 NFL championships prior to the Super Bowl era, we have 3, but no one cares about those rings anyway...

They are going 0-5. Unless they pull a miracle out of their ass, you can take that to the bank.
50 passes a game? Probably 7 or 8. That D should eat stafford alive with how he stares his receivers down.
LOL
definitely better than Murray that's for sure. On top of that he understood the kelly system that's flourished this year.
I was going to write this, but I'm not convinced it's true. Joe Flacco and Kaepernick faced eachother just a few years ago in the bowl.

Al Michaels just mentioned Baseketball in his bit with Bob Costas
fuck yeah
fuck yeah
Kaep had Jimmy Harbs and Flacco was in the playoffs.
I just wanted to make sure you knew, which you did. Congrats on the win and eventual AFC South Divisional Champions, the 6-10 Colts!
Luck always looks good in the hurry up offense.
Would love to see our numbers when we're running it, it was a major reason he was able to turn the game around. 11-14 2TDs I believe. Pep just never seems to stick with things that work, and often, continues to run an offense that depends on consistent blockers which we don't have. Just really grating. Luck also needs to get rid of the Stafford-esque staring down he does at times
Ah so you were saying it would've been better for the long term if we lost.
I already knew that friend, and thanks. If we do win the division, I hope the AFCS Participant banner goes up in Irsay's office instead!
Oh Christ, Stafford is Cutler. A bigger, Frattier, in the playoffs sometimes Cutler

Joe Flacco had a run where he played like an elite QB leading up into that Super Bowl. I mean, I guess Matt Stafford could replicate this, but it's not something I would bet money on.
Also Collinsworth is LOL. Dude was hyping up the Lions at the end to try and prop up Manning. Dude looked average tonight against a bad team, with a bad coach, and a terrible qb. Lions are fucking garbage, and this wasn't some tough win against a good opponent on the road. It's like hyping up the Jags, and being amazed that the Pats blew them out. Broncos did exactly what good teams should do and nothing else. They beat a bad team like they were supposed to. Shits not rocket science. Wins like this is what gives them a chance at the end of the year. A loss to a team you should have beaten can cost you the number one or two seed. That's what makes the Broncos a good team. They will beat the teams they are supposed to and be competitive against teams like the Pats, or Green Bay. To hype up the Lions just to prop up an obviously old Manning is laughable.
I understand that, meaning who knows what Stafford's catalyst is. Point at the end of the day is though, when you make one of those 3 guys the focus you're screwed. Flaccos contract is crushing the Ravens right now, and Kaep is a joke, they'd be better of with smith.

Cowboys at the Saints for SNF next week, should be an awesome train wreck that i can't take my eyes off..
That Papa Johns commercial with everyone ignoring him is what finally made me turn the corner on Manning forever. I now hold no ill will towards him whatsoever, and only make fun of his old man throwing technique as a light ribbing, hoping that he does well. I don't want him to beat my team, but I wish him the best.
Papa John is a great person to stick near if you want to come off looking good. Guy gives off serial rapist vibes.

I like how the graphic promo showed Witten and I think Colston since Romo and Brees are dead.
I agree with you guys, I just wouldn't count anything out given what can happen in this league. Again it's a reason these teams throw high value picks to these "potential" guys, even though common sense would say it will remain just that- potential. Most heady football fans understood Flacco fleeced the ravens. He'd be great as a mid level QB, since he can use that rocket arm to huck it chuck it. Worst case you "punted it" (luck the GOAT at this), best case you do what flacco did best and pull the PI.
edit- also nah Kaep doesn't really have that glimmer. He reminds me very much of stafford. Rocket arm who knows only one gear when throwing and makes awful decisions.

Really didn't expect the Patriots to dominate the jaguars defense like they did.
If Brees is out again, could be 3-1 for Cowboys.
:lol g8tur pls
