I'd have the same reaction.

Brady was better before '07. He had bums off the street at every skill position those years. Moss and Corey Dillon and Co. masked his descent into mediocrity for a few years.

Also cameras.

So looks like Jerry Jones is entering Al Davis senility territory.

On that note, looks like we are not going after Teo. Fine with me either way. I wanted a DE in that spot, and I fascinated by Moore combined with Miller. A couple of Aggies working together? Sounds good to me.

I usually defend Romo when people say he sucks but that game against Washington in Week 17 with the playoffs on the line was inexcusable.

Such a small price to pay since Flynn is probably better than any QB in the draft if the hyperbole is true.

With the Raiders on verge of a trade for Matt Flynn, the Cardinals are nearing a deal for former Raiders starter Carson Palmer.

Poor LJ. Bills taking Geno.

EDIT: No way in hell the Cards were going into the season with Stanton as the starter.

On the Romo contract, the true full guarantee is $40M. He gets $26.5M in 1st yr of deal, $57M in 1st 3 yrs. He gets $40M in 1st 2yrs of deal

How is he getting so much money in his first year when Cowboys have less cap room than 50% of gaf make in a year? Or did I miss some moves that freed up a lot of room, even then it wouldnt be that much/confusedlikecromartienaminghiskids

Signing bonuses are spread over several years for the cap.

I'm sure he'll be fine. It's not like he struggled to score against terrible Big 12 defenses in warm weather for most of the year or something.

Bills have an immense amount of holes to fill at the moment and the team could use some line building and talent infusion. A high first round pick on a "maybe" prospect seems a waste. No guarantee they'll go that direction either but it just seems like the most obvious fit. LJ has a great post up about it here:

On the Palmer front:

Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter 38s

Would be a surprise to people around the league if Oakland QB Carson Palmer winds up in Arizona. A real surprise.

Man, I really wish he'd just come back. I think your thread, while well-intentioned and well done, suffers from the apparently limited amount of posters with really deep football knowledge. It's mostly people asking the wise sensei questions. Sure, others contribute (specifically squicken and you), but in the end I think it looks like a failed experiment. Bummer, because I thought it was a great idea and well executed.

Oh well, if LJ keeps it up, this is still the second best solution...

Season hasn't started. I'd like to see where it goes when there's actively games every week to review and discuss. Hard to gauge whether the experiment has failed just yet, IMO.

first off they would've won that game. whether they would have gotten further than that i don't know but i have to believe the bengals would have been at least somewhat serious contenders for the next couple years after. not sure they would've won the division with a good steelers team there but i think they would've been a wildcard team at least and who knows from there
