I think the post that talked about the market for AJB was spot on. There are a limited number of teams who have the need, cap space, and draft capital to absorb an AJB. We hit all those markers. Also. we need to watch what teams will do in a week closely. What happens WILL affect AJB's...

I have been aboard the Edge/RT bandwagon pretty much this entire off season, BUT I'm beginning to wonder if grabbing the best LB available might not fit a bigger need. It's not that a RT doesn't make sense as well. It's just that whoever we draft at THAT position is likely to be a...

We have FIVE picks in the last 2 rounds and will have already picked 6 guys before that. There is no 'need" involved with those 5 picks. They are just five shots in the dark hoping to hit on one or 2 who becomes a contributor down the road. NONE of those picks are likely to become someone...

Well now you have peaked my interest. Did she get her children back. What was the outcome of the case?

Sounds like the injury only cost him 3 games when it finally tore. The key to me would be when he initially GOT the injury and how long he was playing with it. Sounds like this is much like the HLandry situation. Being a good soldier can affect your individual stats, so if he got it...

Thel, your feckless leader hasn't gone a day without playing fast and loose with the "facts", so other than your blind obedience to the daily lies, he is fine with you speaking your mind, UNLESS it contradicts his stated aims. And Buddy, these aren't memes this ******* is playing with, it's...

Well, based on the facts, it is clear that the NFL is the only monopoly that Trump DOESN'T like, so obviously the matter is personal to him. I find myself feeling more than a little uncomfortable agreeing with Putin's Puppet on this issue. The NFL's arrogant drive to extract every last dollar...

Here's the thing. When you are drafting in the 30's it is unlikely that you are going to get a starter in the first 3 rounds. At that point you are just hoping to get a rotational player who will improve over the next 2 year and BECOME a starter eventually. Of course every now and then you...

Most people forget Adam's most important contribution to the Pats. In 1999 Adam missed 3 FG's that season that would have tied or won games the Pats lost. If he had made those kicks the Pats might have been 11-5 instead of 8-8 and Pete Carroll would have been the HC of Pats as we entered the...

This is simply not true. Wilson became a multiyear starter for the lions, and, IIRC, was one of leading tacklers among S's for a couple of those years. As a football player he was a solid pick. I always thought Wilson got tarred his rookie year when he was thrown into a game (Seattle, I...

This is a MASSIVE overpay. This is a deal that only Howie Roseman's best friend would postulate, or someone who hates the Pats and wants them to screw themselves. And I'm trying to be nice about it. I'd be hesitant to offer a 27 2nd and Douglas or Chism. Thankfully nothing like this will...

Here's what I don't understand, 2. Your position that AJB will make us "a LOT" better on offense. Better than what? We were the 3rd best passing attack in the LEAGUE last season and that was accomplished DESPITE the fact the team ranked 24th in the league in passing attempts (502) with the...

20+ pages longer than the yearlong Jetes bashing thread and STILL going strong. I think I've turned the corner on this thread and can see it at a hundred plus, maybe by the draft and certainly by the end of May. What a letdown it will be if he's back with the Eagles in 2026. A scenario with...

1980's. That's about the time news departments started getting run by the Entertainment division of media companies and civil discussions between policy wonks, were replaced by those pro and con shouting matches simply because they were viewed as being more entertaining.

Sorry Wozz, but the true number is closer to 15-20%. A third is a significant number in any numeric configuration. You might have a higher percentage on the 90 man roster, but when it gets down to 53, that number will drop. With up to 11 rookies in this draft, it will be even harder for an...
