Cold weather favors Seattle but let's not act like Denver doesn't have a good chance of winning.

If Denver gets a two score lead, I don't see Seattle coming back for instance.

 

[ryutaro's mama]

Does any team Seattle beat have the number one offense? My point is that Denver can play in the snow/cold, so I wouldn't count them out.

Not counting them out. They were my pick to win going in. With news of bad weather, I am thinking it could end up favoring the Seahawks if the elements make it into a run centric game.

If it was in a dome or weather wasn't there to potentially change the game, I would be secure with my pick. As it stands right now, I think the weather could be the difference maker.

Denver has a decent run defense, in the cold weather I really think either team can grind out a win but if Manning has a chance to get any kind of pass game, it's going to be tougher for Seattle.

Breer is tweeting out numbers for '11 rookies and the 5th year option. Rules are different for picks 1-10 and 11-32

5th-year options for '11 rookies must be exercised by 5/3. Immediately guaranteed for injury. Guar for skill on Day 1 of '15 league year.

5th-year option for Top 10 picks = '14 transition tag #'s. For picks 11-32 = avg of salaries 3-25 at position. Proj's based on $126.3M cap.

OK, ready? Proj transition #'s (Option for Top 10 picks): CB $9.57M, DE $10.09M, DT $7.65M, LB $9.26M, OL $9.53M, K $3.04M, QB $13.93M ...

... RB $7.63M, S $6.89M, TE $5.8M, WR $9.66M ... Again, these projections for 5th-year option for Top 10 picks.

Proj option #'s for Picks 11-32: CB $6.55M, DE $6.62M, DT $5.20M, LB $6.68M, OL $7.08M, QB $9.20M, RB $4.95M, S $4.43M, TE $3.72M, WR $6.43M

Another example: Projected option for Newton, Locker, Gabbert is $13.93M. For Ponder, it's $9.20M. Ponder went 2 picks after Gabbert.

Another interesting element: New system actually could reward 2nd-rounders. Kaepernick now has significantly more leverage than Cam. ...

Can't be more fragile than Bradford.

Seems like a good rationale to draft him

 

[Tamanon]

I'm sure Gabbert will get that extra year option!

 

[DeaconKnowledge]

So, Fred Davis' career is pretty much over.

 

[ryutaro's mama]

Offense line protection, how do they work?

 

[yankeehater]

Who takes it harder if the Broncos lose, Tabris or Yankeehater?

I am actually pulling for the Seahawks in the SB. I really respect Denver, and seeing Manning get a SB would be funny for the teams that didnt want him, but I always have to root for the team that hasnt won one yet, except for the Pats. The NFL needs every team to win a SB as quickly as possible.

I'm still rooting for Denver just because I'm a huge fan of Manning but I don't mind the Seahawks winning it for that reason as well. This is the first SB in a while where I don't hate either or both teams and I can just sit back and enjoy the game regardless of outcome.

Man..as a Rams fan, I am in no way a Seahawks fan but if it was New England vs. San Francisco in the SB, I would have likely deaded myself.

squicken.

 

[bionic77]

Can't tell if you are being serious.

My comment made as much as sense as comparing New Englands defense to Seattles.

 

[squicken]

I'm sure Gabbert will get that extra year option!

The CBA isn't awful for top 10 guys, but for 11-32 it's brutal. Quinn and Watt are under team control for 5 years for $18m.

Even with Gabbert, the option is only guaranteed for injury. They can still cut him before 2015 starts and not owe him anything

 

[ShaneB]

It feels odd to say that all this weather talk is awesome! I hope for a snow bowl for sure as I've always said. I know a lot of the talk is on how Manning will perform, but I'm worried about how the Seahawks would perform under those conditions too. All the talk is favouring the run game, but maybe the Broncos backs turn\s into superman with cold and snow, and Marshawn and company clam up. Either way, I'm nervous!

Said nobody about the Seahawks, ever.

I totally get what you're saying. ;p

Uh, the poster I was responding to was pointing to how the Broncos ALMOST beat New England in Foxboro in cold weather. I said that almost beating NE (with their D) isn't the same thing as beating Seattle in bad weather.

I loved you when you used to be a Laker fan, bionic.

My feelings exactly. Maybe I root for Manning a little more, but I wouldn´t mind the ´hawks winning at all, given we get a good game.

 

[WanderingWind]

I agree, but if a meteor were to also hit Kave's litter box during halftime, that would really be ideal.

It tastes like cold.

I know bro. I was making fun of Chris' post and making the same point you did. I have serious doubts about this busted version of Manning going into New York and moving the ball through the air against Seattle.

Also I will always be a Lakers fan bro. I remember the 90s after Jordan gave Magic AIDS. I remember Campbell running like no other human ever did down the court. I remember Nick the Quick. We are going back to those days soon!

If Seattle can figure out how to outscore Denver I like their chances.

That commercial sucked and failed to show how far ahead of its time the OG Mac was.

This coming from a guy who is working from home right now on his Macbook Air.

if they can keep the lead after the 4th quarter they will win

The proverbial icing on the cake.

I'm rooting for John Fox cause his SB was stolen by that stone faced pig of a coach up in Boston.

7. Sammy Watkins WR, Clemson (6-1, 205, 4.47, JR)
Watkins set several Clemson and ACC records over the past three years and is an exciting player to watch when he has the ball. He needs some polish in a few areas, but he has above average vision and acceleration and projects as a borderline WR1/WR2 in the NFL.

Borderline isn't top 10 worthy imo. Robinson plz

 

[bionic77]

That was actually Jordan's reaction when Oprah showed him a clip of him injecting Magic with AIDS because he knew it was the only way he had a chance to beat him in the Finals.

Evil motherfucker...

You had me until that part.

Now I am going to tell you go to fuck yourself.

Go fuck yourself.

lol

 

[slightconfuse]

Seattle needs to force turnovers and guard that welker pick play in the red zone.

Thats true.

The exception to that I guess is with his own team, his divorce, his comeback, and his hairline.

Every WR seems to have some flaw that keeps them from the top 10. Who's a top 10 prospect in this draft?!

 

[ryutaro's mama]

And making the playoffs even once as a Wizard in the weakest East in years.

No WR, in my eyes.

 

[Dutch Gronk]

Via @AdamSchefter: The Dolphins are interested in Patriots director of player personnel Nick Caserio for their GM job.

Patriots already have lost O-Line coach Dante Scarnecchia, TE coach George Godsey, LB coach Pepper Johnson. Now could lose Nick Caserio.

NFL.

Wut r u doin.

pls stahp

 

[DeaconKnowledge]

No WR, in my eyes.

I hope you're right. I would love for the Steelers to trade down into the 20's pick up a WR in the late half of the first, then get 2 picks in the 2nd for an ILB and TE

 

[Himynameischris]

NFL.

Wut r u doin.

pls stahp

Don't' worry we'll fuck it up somehow, call his wife a gold digger or something.

 

[Colasante]

Nick Caserio would be a fantastic hire by the Dolphins. I really hope it doesn't happen.

I'd thought he was being groomed as the future General Manager in New England though. If he leaves, then I'll start being worried about all of the Patriots departures.

John Kasay is a coach in Boston?
