Oher is playing/has been playing LT at least in the playoff game that I watched.

Alshon Jeffery is a free agent this year. I wouldn't be surprised to see Trestman make a strong push for us to sign him. I think I would be happy going into the season with Jeffery, Aiken, SSS and hopefully a healthy Perriman. That would allow us to concentrate on a pass rusher and the secondary in the draft.

He led the Raiders to only their 2nd .500 season since they reached their last Superbowl. Guy can coach. I wouldn't be surprised if he gets it turned around quickly in Cleveland. He sure has experience with disfunctional organisations.

Kaboom. That's the sound of the Bengals self destructing. Maybe when Burfict ran down the tunnel after his interception he should've stayed there.

This is Pees MO. He looks like a genius for a few games and does enough to retain his job for the next season only to shit the bed again enough times that we want him fired again. It feels like it happens every year now and he is still here. It wasn't good enough for Bellicheat and he fired Pees and it shouldn't be good enough for us.

Funny, the talk at the start of the season was how hard the first 6 games were going to be.

Good decision by the Colts. I take it Saban turned them down.

What was the SOS like over the games Joe played v the games the others played? Can you factor that into your equation anywhere?

It's not an offseason without the Browns firing somebody.

Please bring him back in place of Pees

We had a couple of days last week that were warmer than quite a few days in summer!

Did anyone see what happened in the Jets/Patriots game with the OT coin flip?

Sweep the Steelers. Season is a win now

Mallet looks like a keeper.

Come on guys. Football season only lasts a few short months. You got to watch every game no matter how painful it's been.

My guess is they wore the ugly pants to distract us from their ugly play. Lets give the masses something to bitch about so they leave the players and coaches alone for a week.

Papa, can you point to any other team that has had such a prolonged stretch of domination and give the reasons for their success outside of NE?

We are all doomed. I think the politicians don't get it. Here in N.Ireland are policiticans have their heads buried in the sand. They would much rather debate about what the other side are doing than actually address the issues. My guess is they are all idiots and are scared of being found out if they actually have to address proper issues. Seriously, they would much rather debate and point score against each other over what flag should be flown outside government buildings on which days! We had one prominent politician being interviewed on a talk show on the radio along with an environmental activist. The politician blamed climate change on cyclical events. I kid you not. He actually stated that the earth has always gone through periods of warming and cooling and that actually temperatures have dropped over the last 20 years! Seriously. He thinks it's a case of nothing to see here. Move along. We need to burn our fossil fuels so we can compete with China and India on economical grounds. Like I said, with idiots like this in charge we are all doomed.

I don't know why they didn't just use the Black Panther for Carolina. Other possibilities: New England Iron Patriots Atlanta Falcons (That was easy) Minesota Asgardians New York Ant Men Chicago Beasts Oakland Rogues Miami Storm

I agree with Crav. There is no QB I want a part of in the 1st. There are no Mariota/Winstons this year. There are a lot of intriguing prospects who could be had later in the draft this year. Someone who can sit a few years and learn and develop. I would be happy with drafting one of those types.

Sweet that would be great. I'll also be at the Wembley game as soon as the Ravens are chosen to play there.

Some of those calls were bullshit though. Nothing you can do about that. I actually liked the edge the defence showed in this game. If we had played every game this season like that we would be 7-3 instead of 3-7.

I know we beat the Rams but it feels like a defeat. At least the D showed signs of life again. The secondary looked much better. Smith and Webb finally look like they are getting healthy.

Pitta will save us $600k and while it opens a spot we already have our 3 TEs for next year so that's $600k that can spent elsewhere. We can't do anything with Suggs unless he takes a pay cut. The cap hit is just too big. Now after next season we save a lot of money. We really need to get a pass rusher in this draft. Still, it all comes back to Joe and what he gives back to the team. If he refuses to renegotiate we are in deep dodo.

Sorry partly set on record. You see where we got Jacksonville and Miami this year from the AFC East. We finished 3rd in the AFC North last year so we get the 3rd placed teams from the AFC East and South. If we had finished 1st or 2nd we would have got NE or BUF and IND or HOU. Everything else is rotational. Every 4 years we will get the NFC West. Sometimes you luck into a division being down in any given year and end up with a weak SOS. Sometimes you run a gauntlet with a 4 team playoff calibre division. No conspiracy in opponents. The dates those opponents are scheduled is open to intepretation however.
