Re: Freeman:Pats fans are the most obnoxious That's BS. In the first game of the 2006 season the Patriots got off to a slow start and were down something like 17-10 to the Bills at half time (a game they went on to win BTW), and guess what? The team got booed. It was the first game of the...

Re: Last chance for Cassell verus San Francisco Why? Because you say so?

The in the grasp rule is one of the worst rules in the NFL. It is completely subjective and it opens the refs up for guessing calls like this one.

When Mangini left to coach the Jets there was a lot of animosity between him and Belichick, and according to media reports a lot of this was due to the fact that Mangini took the scouting book the Patriots had on Chad Pennington with him to show Chad how the Patriots prepared for him, the...

Re: OT: Davis wants to win … just not on the field And the article he links to from 1996 is even more shocking. Al Davis is still cutting a destructive swath as the - 06.03.96 - SI Vault

In 2004 quite a few times the team employed a formation where Seymour would be the lone down lineman there would be five or six linebackers and the rest were DB's. It was a kind of exotic version of the nickle or dime package. That was when we had crazy depth at linebacker.

Re: OT:Davis wants to win … just not on the field You took the thoughts right out of my head. Al Davis is Jerry Jones in about 20 years. We got a little sneak preview with the Terrell Owens Bill Parcells disaster. Owens knew he was untouchable because he was Jerry's guy and as a result he...

Bill cut Bernie Kosar in Cleveland even though Kosar was the best QB he had because Kosar wouldn't follow the gameplan and would freelance too much. And I don't think we had the cap room for him anyway. He's making something like 12 million this year.

I don't think Favre could ever be on a team coached by Bill Belichick. Their philosophies when it comes to football are almost the exact opposite.

Re: Marshall Faulk is an a$sclown. As someone pointed out, most of the fans here have no right to criticize Faulk about this. They were saying the same and much worse all preseason. But now that Cassel has come in and played well suddenly anyone who ever said anything bad about him is a...

Re: OT:Vikings bench jackson How exactly? Green Bay as of now clearly looks like the best team in the division and the two losers of the Dallas-New York-Philadelphia fight seem to have a strong hold on the two wildcard spots. I know it's a long season and things change, but I don't think...

Why God made me beautiful instead of rich I'll never know.

Re: OT:Vikings bench jackson They benched a lousy quarterback for another lousy quarterback. Way to go, Vikes.

This is the NFL not college. The QB platooning thing doesn't work. It's been tried and it just doesn't work. Don't even bother.

That was worse than when Plaxico Burress spiked the ball before he was down by contact.
