How much do the USC boosters pay Carroll to continue recruiting for them? Shady as fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck
Did Brandon Weeden call the 69yd TD pass to Travis Benjamin himself?

And just as a background, it's sorta a story because our fantastic coach doesn't let his QB audible at the line what so ever.

Blame your absolute shellacking on the fans. Nice.
Maybe if Buffalo wasn't a completely moribund and overlooked franchise they'd be able to draw fans from LESS THAN 100 MILES AWAY.
Give me a fucking break. Pittsburgh fans dominated Dallas. It's not Toronto's fault you fucking suck and have sucked for 15 years. Play better football you fucking loser.

Unlike a guy like Urlacher who's entire career is due to fans and media over-hyping him, I actually don't have much of a problem with Wood's comments. He's not the GM or coach that has screwed things up, and if anything, it says he still cares and wants to win. He should have thrown some caveat in there about the loss being on them, but I think his main point is that the Toronto series was of no benefit to the team in growing the fanbase, it put them at a competitive disadvantage, and he hopes they don't do it again

True, but it is also true that it's bullshit that the team has to travel for a "home" game. Toronto has made it clear they don't really support the team for pretty much the same reason. They're not the home team.
Also, they suck. So. Get better you fucking fucks. You owe me 13 seasons of my life back, you no QB having, weak ass coach hiring, buying shit over the hill players strategy, cutting talent before it's time, non-competitive fuckstains. Fuck your franchise, fuck your face and maybe go back to fucking Pop Warner where you may have a winning record.
Milwaukee supported the shit out of the Packers when they used to play two games a year there and that was a longer drive than Buffalo to Toronto (and the Packers suuuuuucked).
Buffalo players just need to embrace the essentially legalized prostitution that Toronto offers and enjoy themselves.

No. Bills have never had issues selling tickets. We love to show up and bitch about the shit play. One thing you can't levy about us is that the fans suck.
Not really the same thing, to be honest. That's the same state. Playing in a different country for half the home games, is a big blow to the fanbase that has supported the team through decades of suck.
Bills in Toronto can go fornicate itself.
The problem is the NFL seemed to make an assumption that because we are geographically close to Buffalo there must be a lot of Bills fans here. There are a lot of passionate NFL fans in Toronto but we all have our own teams we care about.
Also add in that any of us that actually want to watch the Bills play will just take the 3-4hr drive to the border and get a much better experience. We can't tailgate like you guys can in the states (due to our laws) and frankly to me at least that's a very big part of the whole NFL experience.

Admit it. I'm the best you've got.
Maybe one day you can share a team with England.

Tailgating is legalized binge drinking. Which is essential to watching Buffalo play. So, yeah. If you can't tailgate, we've deduced the root cause of the problem there.
I'll admit that you buying a Bills jersey pre-Brady shows that you're one of the many converts to the Pats after 2001.
Sorry my bad, I was thinking of Detroit which I go to more frequently. Toronto to Buffalo is 2hrs or so.

How much will he command on the market? Garcon, Jennings, Moss in the slot...I like that. I like that a lot.

7 hours? Were you going 200 miles an hour?
I remember getting into an argument with some stupid Frenchie Habs fan on here. Claimed I knew nothing about the team as I lived "thousands of miles away". I could have been getting a lap dance by the time it took him to figure out reality.
This world is too cruel though, miss going to the Whalers games more than anything. Nothing wrong with making the day out of going to a sporting event, or more.
This...this makes no sense. It's okay. You can stop pretending. You've only been a Bills fan for a short time since they've finally changed their uniform to something reasonable.
It's a little more than seven hours, but close. Montreal is about four and a half.
Franchise tag is around $10m so I assume like $12m? Brandon Marshall's contract plus market inflation. Depends on how scared teams are of his injuries. I could also see him signing a long term deal with a massive signing bonus but per year dollars lower than the tag number because of injury concerns. It'll be interesting.
Between Jennings, Welker and Wallace the market might go goofy if one of them signs early for a bunch. Like it matters to Washington though. They'll get the guy they want.
It's only like 550 miles. The bulk of that is through the barren wastelands of Western Massachusetts where you can go 100. I did get a ticket in New York though going 85 which annoyed the piss out of me. It was like 4:30 in the morning. Leave me alone. Terrible way to start a bachelor party.

I drove to Brooklyn from Toronto once and it took me 9 hours. That was a ton of city driving though.
Nice. Bachelor parties in Canada are incredibly fun. I need to get my ass a a fucking passport someday, it's bullshit. I miss the days of crossing the border with nothing more than a license and a hand full of singles.
Yeah, we went up for my bachelor party and it was also the WBC so it was doubly awesome.

Man we pay Josh Morgan that much. Hopefully we can just cut him loose and pick up Jennings, but otherwise we're screwed cap wise because we "abused the system" during the lockout. We've got to pay Fred Davis also, so it probably won't happen.
I could see the Panthers overpaying for his services.
Who are the defensive free agents next year?
I'm in total agreement that the Redskins need someone who can compliment Garcon. I think the questions about his ability to be a #1 WR for us have been answered. However, we still have bounty-gate to deal with. IMO, the following positions need to be addressed in the off-season.
Safety - Do we give Tanard a chance to come back? We need a competent backup plan, behind him. Merriwewather, he's back. But do we draft someone to back him up? I'd say yes.
Corner - Hall, he has to restructure. I'm fine keeping him for cheaper. We have some young corners in the stable, one of which we stole last year. I can't remeber his name but he went undrafted because of an injury and we got him. He's on IR and I'd suspect he'll make some noise next year.
MLB - London, he won't last forever. We need to get the best young MLB we can via the draft.
Dline - I love Cofield but we need a dominant linemen. That's what anchors the 3-4.
Oline - RT needs an upgrade. But we have plenty that we have drafted, Mike seems happy with them. Maybe we have who we need...
TE - Do we resign Fred? What will he command? He's not an elite TE, yet and will he ever be?
WR - Josh Morgan is our leading second WR. If we were to acquire Jennings, I believe it'd be Garcon, Jennings and then Josh. However... I doubt they'll do this. I suspect that Hankerson is being given the chance to solidfy his position. Moss, he has earned his spot on this team for at least 1-2 more seasons. Garcon, Morgan, Hank, Moss, Robinson... They've been fine this year. They were fine without Garcon, now they're amazing with him. Eh... I think we are fine.
I also factor in that, this is the first year in this new offense. Not only a new offense but a new QB. How much better can the current WR corp be with...
1. An offseason of practice
2. Familiarity with the QB
3. RGIII's growth and maturation into the second year.
Everyone says that this offense will get figure out, that RGIII will struggle. I doubt it, his work ethic will not allow that. With an off-season and a years worth of experience, he'll continue to mature in the traditional pro-style offense. And we saw that Kyle obviously can adapt this offense to whatever it needs to be.
I'd rather keep the continuity that we have and not turn this into the free-agent carousel of years past. We gotta give guys some time to adapt and truly learn the system. He's made some great catches. His YAC is great. He fights for yardage. His run blocking is amazing. No, he's not going anywhere.
Just for anyone else planning to go up to Canada for a bachelor party I would definitely recommend Montreal over Toronto.
Montreal is certainly the more interesting of the two.

The next gm should just make Rex DC and fire Pettine. If that's even possible that Rex would take a demotion.
Josh Morgan's deal is 2yrs/11mil, outside of catching the ball, he's really good in the run game. Fred Davis is on a franchise tag + his injury, I wouldnt be suprised if the Skins let him walk.
I'd rather see Robinson step up than keep Moss in the slot.
Meh it's not that cold...but then again I get the same weather as Montreal for the most part.

Hey you beat the Pats, so you're a-ok in my book!
Niners biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitch or something. I might not have enough i's.
As for us Steelers fans, we are holding onto bionic's vision of this season. We will win the next two, probably barely escaping both of them with some crazy bullshit. (We never blow out anyone.) We will get into the playoffs as the 6th seed, on a 2 game winning streak, and then we go on an epic run to win it all.
Edit: By the way, bionic, I know you say playing the lottery is a fool's game, but if this all happens I suggest you play the PowerBall, the Mega Millions and anything else you can get a ticket for the week after the SB.

I think you have too much there not to give it another shot, but hopefully Meriweather rehabs well.
Agreed. I don't really like grabbing corners in free agency anyway, guys develop in a system, work well with it, go elsewhere and fall off.
I think he's good for another year. I'd actually leave this position alone as far as this off-season and address it when our bounty gate woes are over the following free agency.
Agreed. I like DE/Lineman for our top draft picks this off-season, or as a number 1 free agency priority.
Another place where you can get burned in FA. I'd stick with what we have.
Its going to depend on his market value. We can't invest too much but I definitely want him back. I hate Paulsen.
Not a Morgan fan personally. Want him replaced but I see what you're saying and agree with a lot of it.
I do like Robinson in the slot but I think Moss has been too surehanded in the passing game to drop.

Having done both, I totally agree. We went to Montreal for my buddies bachelor party the year before mine. And I wanted to go to the World Baseball Classic.

Why didn't he give it to charity?
Trying to think what game things crashing down.
I know after the Texans loss they came back strong, but then the wheels just came flying off.
edit: Looks like they haven't bounced back since that Steelers loss.

Ravens have been lucky all season. It's finally coming back to haunt them.
2 more games and the collapse is complete!

The collapse began and ended in Houston; we've collapsed, no further can we fall. All we can do is field the shambles of the remaining team and hope not to be embarassed. But we've been embarassed for 3 straight weeks now.
