Feel bad for Kubes. Knowing what he had in Keenum got him fired.

Giving the owner the finger by putting Schaub back in repeatedly after being told not to is what got Kubiak fired.
Oh and stupid, blind ass loyalty with a severe case of conceitedness
For the record deacon, you can go back and look, I was never huge on Case to begin with. My team was shit so I grabbed on to any hope I could.

6 of one really.
it's kind of crazy how strong the dolphins fanbase has remained all those years.
me and my other buddies give my best friend so much shit, but it seems like he's finally getting used to the disappointment.
On the subject of Jones, who'll I'll get to this weekend, how about Jerry Hughes?
Complete bust, SackSeer had this guy projected as the number one DE, Maybin also had that dubious title, but Hughes may have turned it around. Mostly a 3rd down DE, but he generated a bunch of pressure. He won a lot 1 v 1. Good bull rush, some speed, good mixture.
Again, it'd be great to just isolate a players reps via Gamerewind. See where he improved. A lot more time consuming right now. There needs to be an easier way.

Its all good. O Brien just met with him for a smokescreen.
There's so much the NFL could do with their digital media. They've got some all access thing coming this summer that I think it supposed to be like the WWE's online Network. But I would imagine GW and Preseason football will still cost separately
It'd be awesome if like DK could go through some Steelers games, tag some plays he wants us to see, then link us to that playlist. Maybe even have a way for more professional sites to add voice or text commentary. Change angles, etc. kas could whip up some greatest hits for Stafford and some Kap lowlights

Every conversation with a Dolphins fan degrades into talk about the '72 Dolphins. It's their answer to everything.
"My food is cold"
"Friend let me tell you about the '72 Dolphins, now that was a hot team - never cold!"
"I hate paying taxes"
"You call that hate? Every other NFL team in 1972 hated playing the Dolphins"
"It's awful what is happening in the Crimea"
"Not as awful as the things the '72 Dolphins did to their opponents!"

Mark this post down.
The Lions will finish with a better record than the Packers in the 2014-2015 NFL season.
In fact, I'll take the same avatar bet that gata did. If the Lions don't finish ahead of the Packers this year, I will wear an avy of NFL-GAFs choice for 1 year.

why you do this grovers
i bet if the colts signed him he'd suck.
that is pretty much the counter attack we get from them too. you could say that shit happened 42 years ago, but i just let them have it. i have nothing against them though.

I believe in Stafford da Gawd
You guys pumped up. It starts again!
HOw many yards did he actually get last year?
If he'd could return to the 25 consistently, it'd be better than what they have now.

There are some messed up Packers fans. That could be a bad avatar if you lose. You know you are banking on Jim Caldwell, right?

The entirety of NFL fandom dodged a massive fucking bullet there.
1512 Rushing + Receiving
Grover my ninja
I hate that it had to be him
I'm hoping for the same. Lions win the division, Packers are 6th seed and we win the SB again
YO I JUST REMEMBERED I HAVE THE PERFECT AVATAR AHAHAHA
Caldwell is stunned, surprised, confident, ecstatic,saddened at your optimism.

That head shape.
Holy shit I can't wait for the 2014 season to start so NFLGAF Stafford haters can eat crow.
I've watched almost every game the guy has played. He has elite talent in terms of arm strength. accuracy, pocket presence etc.
Just because Scott Linehan would call slant routes out of shotgun on 3rd and 1 and a tipped ball would turn into an INT does not mean its the fault of Stafford.
Again, check his 2011 stats and look at how he distributed the ball when he had decent WRs other than Megatron, and some decent tight ends like Tony Scheffler.
Matthew Stafford hasn't had a decent #2 reciever since Titus Young went ill at the start of the 2012 season. Megatron gets double and triple teamed every play, but that will change when we draft Mike Evans at #10.
If you think Stafford is a mediocre QB you honestly have no idea what the hell you're taking about and I implore you to watch some highlight videos.
Restore the Roar 2014.

I'm ready to face the consequences...
Oh god.
Nah, I wouldn't be doing it if I didn't have confidence in the Lions taking that next step.
I'm on the :kas bandwagon
Thats pretty good for Reggie.
I don't think we give enough credit to the little Manning. He literally saved modern day football.

I've pretty much made up my mind in the dynasty league I'm in, but I'm curious to hear what everyone else thinks.
Who will have the better year:
Shane Vereen
or
Andre Ellington??????

Didn't Arians say they are going to keep Ellington on a pitch count?
WHERE'S WALLACE

A few things about Ellington..
During the season Arians expressed his belief that Ellington wasn't "an every down back", noting concerns about durability. He also had some bro-love with Mendenhall, blah, blah, about Ellington needing to earn his spot..Also said he was happy with the amount of work Ellington received which seemed to be around 12-15 touches a game.
End of season GM makes a statement saying in so many words, we're going with a RBBC. Mendenhall is a free agent and recently made a tweet saying he's considering retirement. Facts show Ellington being explosive, younger, and obviously led the league in YPC..Mendenhall may or may not be back, even if he doesn't retire and his YPC were very low..He looks done based on last year.
Two days after GM makes his comments, Arians said, "We'd like to build our offense around Ellington" and "he'll get more snaps/touches." Also, "I want to see him put on some weight", plus, "Ellington has already added 10 lbs in the offseason."
So the GM and Arians made a bit of contradictory statements regarding Ellington's role in the future....Never heard anything about a snap count for Ellington and I've followed him pretty closely.
Personally, I think IF Mendenhall doesn't come back, it's Ellington's job to lose..He'll get 15 rushes a game, plus 4-5 looks in the passing game...So not a sole RB1, but close..Numbers suggest he'll be a good candidate to get 1500 all-purpose yards..Shit..this year he had 1000 all purpose and that was with a part-time split and missing a game.
IF Mendenhall comes back that caps his ceiling but we should expect number similiar to this year with a slight bump...He'll get more work, but it won't be much mroe..
Vereen...I feel like we know he isn't an every down back..We know what he is at best...A good pass catching back who will occasionally have a big game on 10-12 carries...We've seen Vereen at his best and his best isn't as good as the best we've seen from Ellington..Plus we don't even know how good Ellington can truly be..
Verdict...Ellington will have a better year than Vereen, even if Mendenhall comes back..
I see what you are saying. I like Ellington as well, but Arians just has such a fetish for bigger, traditional I-Formation type RBs. Vereen is in a larger volume offense, but I guess ultimately I agree that we have seen his ceiling, and Ellington's is probably higher
