Lucas1138 Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Yet another wasted draft pick in the twilight of Brady's career. What in the hell are they doing drafting a backup quarterback in the 2nd round? I absolutely hate our first draft pick. I don't see the point. Grigson has a terrible track record of evaluating offensive line talent. Coupled with the fact that this guy is going to play guard most likely which is the least important position on the field. Oh and also the defense is devoid of talent for the most part. I'm diggin' the Donte Moncrief pick though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowDog Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 I guess this means BB is confident he's trading Mallet some time soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Human Torch Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Whenever Bill has a draft like this ---> WTF?! then what happens is he starts grabbing guys as they get cut thru camps at stuff. So here's hoping someone that can be plugged in and help this year turns up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Choc Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Well I said I wanted an offensive lineman in the first and a defensive in the 2nd, the Giants took them in the 2nd and 3rd. The more I think about the Beckham pick the more I like it. So that's either me legit coming around or me wanting to come around. The main thing is that hopefully this will allow Cruz to play in the slot. In the slot he's one of the 2 best in the league, along with Welker. On the outside he is merely good. So hopefully we can have Beckham and Randle outside and Cruz in the slot. They took the OL in the 2nd round with Scrooge McDuck's old rival "Weston Richburg". Don't know much about him, but the fact that they took a center makes me think they want to give Beatty a shot at LT again. He played well in 2012 and poorly in 2013, so hopefully he will bounce back. This kid could possibly start at C right away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamevet Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 I like Dallas' picks with an offensive lineman and ILB, but I'm kind of surprised they waited so long to address the defensive line. We'll see how well that turns out once pre-season starts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Krawlie Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Ugh. It's so annoying. I keep trying to find season predictions like in our own thread, but all I keep finding are fantasy football predictions. fuck that shit, give me predictions on things that actually MEAN something!

Lucas1138 Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Check the NFL page on ESPN- they did a whole run down with a ton of their beat writers and personality. Didn't do total standings like you and I, but it's still an info dump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas1138 Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 In a game where the best unit was the defense (by far, really); the Seahawks still scored 36 points. Yikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gamevet Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Sigh. Gamevet. Sigh. I have a bad feeling about this year.Yeah, this defense could go down as the worst in NFL history. I'm just hoping that the Cowboys use a very efficient running game, with timely passing to keep the offense on the field for very long drives. The Pats have been doing it for years, with a very mediocre defense and an efficient offense that ran a lot of time off of the clock. We'll see how that works out against the 49'ers this weekend.

Cashmere Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Is anyone else barely containing a happy dance at all moments at this point? I am SO excited for NFL season to get into full swing. I think I like it at least 3 times as much now that I'm playing fantasy, but I just love having games on all day on Sunday. Sadly, I can't watch any except the late game tomorrow due to other commitments, but just knowing they're happening will keep me in great spirits. Yay, football!

Ms. Spam Posted September 8, 2014 Author Share Posted September 8, 2014 Thanks Dallas! Your play was so bad I decided I would rather take a nap. Why did we sign Romo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamevet Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 They should have let Romo play more during the pre-season. There were several wtf passes, as well as young receivers not being on the same page. It will get better, but Romo really hasn't played much football in the last 8 months.

Ms. Spam Posted September 8, 2014 Author Share Posted September 8, 2014 I kept thinking it was rust but gave up at the half. It is not all Romo's fault. The defense was weak too and counting on lots of points to be made. Back surgery is hard to come back to normal from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamevet Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 I question that 1st fumble; Murray looked like he was on his knees when the ball was stripped. Romo was pressing and throwing into double and triple coverage; he should have just thrown it away, or threw it to his check down. He settled down a little in the 2nd half, but did make some Favre like long passes that could have gone south as well. I like what the defensive front was doing, and it was winning the battle in the trenches. The secondary, however, was blowing a lot of coverage and getting burned whenever they went into zone.

The Human Torch Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 After seeing the Patriots play like the Keystone Cops last year I didn't think I could witness a more inept performance by a Belichick/Brady team... I was wrong. This wasn't a 31-0 spanking, but that 2003 loss was more understandable with the shock of cutting a team captain during game week and then that team captain going to your opponent full of talent and secrets. This loss to the Phish was worse because the Patriots were supposedly ready to play and the only thing that gave the illusion of threat was the Dolphins shooting themselves in the foot during the first half. This Patriots squad has a lot of work to do, they were out played by the Browns and the Browns also lost today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowDog Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Yeah they looked pretty bad. Brady had less than 5 yards an attempt, that's putrid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashaman Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 And Ray Rice is cut by the Ravens. Think it is a face saving move? I find it hard to believe they didn't see the video prior to everyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Human Torch Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 I don't find it hard to believe they (The NFL and Ravens) didn't see it. I find it hard to believe the police didn't see it or saw it and didn't charge him, that's the major failure, that's shocking. The NFL took it's intial direction from the actions of the police. Choosing to let the legal process play out. That is a fair approach given what the Rices' were saying and the police were doing. Let's face it, Ray Rice is not important enough to the league to cover anything up. Really isn't. There are plenty of Ray Rice talents around, he isn't HoF caliber etc. This would have been done had they seen the video at the time. The Rices washed the incident, they said it was a mutual fight etc. Not that mutual fighting is acceptable either. However the video clearly shows this was one sided, that the Rices lied... which isn't that surprising when considering Battered Woman Syndrome.

Cashmere Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 I am so sad that Rice ended up being such a piece of trash. I really liked him. Even have his jersey. Looks like it's time to shop for a new one. For the record, I though 2 games was way lenient even before the new video surfaced. I think suspension is warranted.

The Human Torch Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 I also thought 2 games was too little just on the confirmed incident. Add in the video footage that was available at the time, the stuff from the lobby facing the elevator and I thought it looked horrible enough for a season plus mandatory counseling. Now add in the interior elevator footage, ugh. Just horrible. IMO the mandatory counseling thing should be a big part of all NFL actions. Other corps have mandatory classes, meetings, stipulations etc for all sorts of stuff... which I am now even more familiar with because my wife works in an HR dept.

Tex Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 I'm a little shocked that everyone is so shocked about the footage. We already knew he knocked her out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Human Torch Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 I think why people find it shocking is; they weren't familiar with the incident so it's fresh, they are familiar with the incident and know the interior elevator footage does not match the "we fought each other and it was a dumb mistake" line of defense which the Rices spoke about.
