If you want to lump my disdain for the timing of the ref money grab into siding with management over the worker, okay, good on you. But I'd prefer to look at each case individually--and the refs don't represent most of America's workers.
I standby my opinion. The refs are asking for too much...
You're sacrificing your third down with a kneel. So...yeah, you're basically punting on third--a down where you have a chance to gain yardage and keep playing offense.
Teams don't play scared like that.
I mentioned the economy. I don't really care what economy the NFL or other multi-million dollar corporations are seeing--including the refs. It's not about the NFL's profits--its about the working man not making it and here you have rich people arguing about how much richer they should get. My...
I would bet you a lot of money they wouldn't say that. How would it even come up?
I'll bet they say something at some point about how there are three really good defenses in the NFCW, though. And, they're right.
I didn't put a time stamp on it. It may take an entire season and offseason. I don't care. I'm disgusted by the regular refs demands. F them. There's a pretty significant recession going on and these already well-off businessmen, lawyers and bankers are asking for a pension? Yeah, bad time to be...
It doesn't matter if it worked or not. You don't punt on third down and you don't give up a down unless it's a victory formation situation.
Of the hundreds of thousands of times teams have played a third down situation as in the patriots game I'll bet there are less than a handful of cases when...
Eh. I don't think he's worrying too much about it. Provided he gets the DC gig in Pittsburgh he's got a pretty good career path. There really isn't a higher profile DC position.
The Bills aren't that bad.
Parity seems to be at an all time high in the NFL right now, IMO. I don't think that's a bad thing. Makes for exciting football.
What makes Chicago look more winnable?
No joke: They are who we thought they were. A good, fairly balanced team with a douche at QB who likes to throw red zone INTs. I've seen nothing to make me think they're not a 9 or 10 win team.
Detroit doesn't look like the team they're supposed to...

I don't exactly know how this ended up in my Kindle. I think maybe it was offered at a deep discount on Facebook or something. Anyways, I'm enjoying it. It's brain candy.
Agreed. I'm one who thi=ought this was a big enough problem--and so ingrained--that Skelton was the only option. I was wrong. Seems to have been much imporved, so much so that there's no reason to go to Skelton.
I think it depends on who is there in the first. I still think Kolb's ceiling is...
It's HUGE. ...but completely unsurprising. If schmucks like us can identify his problem, then professional coaches should be be able to fix it, IMO. Kudos to them to being able to successfully make the adjustment.
(fingers crossed that it sticks)
