NFL Talk

Good luck to all who made the playoffs...as long as it wasn't the Bengals!!

I'm going out to watch Dallas vs. Seattle, hopefully I'll get my money's worth (bartab) on that one.

Parting shot:

From the ESPN article:
"That's just another game we shouldn't have lost to another team we feel were better than," said Carson Palmer.

I think Marvin Lewis tells his players to say that after every loss, because this is like the 7th time I've heard this statement this season alone! Not to mention about 5 times last year.

I rephrased your question. And I'll go ahead and provide an answer:

No.

They have weapons on offense that can potentially make them one of the top offenses in the league.

They just need an O line and a few defensive players.

Wow! I've never heard that before about the Cardinals! You really think they'll be in the Soooper Bole?

(cue everyone's predictions from '06, '05, '04, '03, '02, '01, '00....not to mention a few genius predictions for '07)

Lol I said nothing about Super Bowl, but they can make the playoffs, especially in the NFC west.

Maybe they can hire Cardinal great Neil Lomax to be the team motivator. He can talk to them all about sucking in St. Louis instead of Phoenix.

Forumcrew, your right, teams shouldnt be persueded by earlier draft picks when they chose.

But I just think that they have the worst QB tandem in the league and their offense seriously needs an QB. If they have money, try to get a couple of lineman to atleast make the OL respectable, while draft an franchise QB. But's that just me.

Nowadays, in the NFL, you need an QB to even come close to the playoffs. How many teams have I seen where an good QB makes all the difference in the world. Look at Dallas, had Bledsoe, wouldnt of made the playoffs. Put in Romo, and look, now they made it.

Dallas should go for Rouse, or Meriweather. Somebody who can help out Williams. Dallas line is pretty solid, but thier secondary is weak in the safety. That's pretty much all thier problems with the defense, (and maybe get a pass rusher to complement Ware) or back up Ellis.

Nothing on offense aye?

yea oak could get Troy smith or Stanton post round 1 though or maybe a guy like Garcia who clearly isnt done.

fyi my mock got screwed up some how.. currently trying to fix it.

ok the draft should be fixed now. They adjusted the team order but didnt move the picks with it so it was all screwy but I think I got everything back in order with the new official draft order.

Outside of lineman, no.

They're deep with RB's, TE's, WR's, and Romo has shown enough to warrent starting next year.

But even lineman, they aint that bad. They have been pretty solid year around, while giving up some bad games, have also doing pretty well.

They could use an 4th receiver, but Whitten pretty much takes up that spot anyways.

Currently, Dallas problems are pretty much in the safety spot (biggest weakness). Remember, alot of the players on the defense are pretty young. Ware, Hatcher, Canty, Spears, Ratliff, Carpenter are all in their 1st or second year. Ware will eventually come close of becoming defense player of the year later on his career, while the defensive line is pretty solid.

Well according to "analyst" T.O. will not be back next year.

I've yet to see him do anything to warrant that kind of statement.

It's typical stuff.

It would cost the Cowboys alot more money just to release him.

If he does leave though, getting an half decent WR to complement Glenn isnt that hard.

To me, Glenn is still an very good reciever and is warrented as the number 1 guy. I would think a player like TO, or Keyshawn would be perfect.

porter still wants out of OAK right? lose TO pick up Porter sounds good to me.

Sounds good to me too.

Dont get me wrong, I dont hate TO. I have nothing against him at all. This year was a product of media doing everything against TO. He hasnt really done anything that bad that anybody else has done. He has done well this year and provided some sort of playmaking that Dallas needed. His dropped balls are not good at all but TO has been playing with torn tendons in his hands, which I would think would be a big deal for an receiever. Is this an excuse, no, but I just think the media made such a big deal about really nothing.

Anyways, I would rather have Porter for a cheaper price and less media scrutiny, but I dont really care that much. Offense, and TO isnt the problem for Dallas. It's thier defense and I can see Zimmer (who is a pretty damn good coach)let go and Dallas getting an safety who can protect Williams.

Young easily wins AP offensive rookie of the year:

Young received 23 votes from a nationwide panel of 50 sports writers and broadcasters who cover the league.

That easily beat New Orleans wide receiver Marques Colston and Jacksonville running back Maurice Jones-Drew, who had nine apiece; San Diego tackle Marcus McNeill (6); and Saints running back Reggie Bush (3).

All I can say is Jones-Drew was robbed because he doesnt have as big of a name as Vince. You know who scored more TD's than Drew this season? LT and LJ no one else. Do you know how many RB's averaged more yards per carry than him? ZERO (at least out of the top 30 in total yards) He beat his closest competitor (LT) by a full half yard.

Vince Youngs QB rating 66.7 that was good for 30th in the league... wow thats damn impressive. Fellow rookie Leinart had more yards and at least cracked the top 25 of QB's.

I mean are these guys even following the season?

BS means bull shit and this is some bull shit.

It's bullshit none less.

But hey, the Titans have improved and it was all because of Young. Yeah right.

Anyways, remember that little game we played before the season about predictions. Well, as loserish as I am, I counted all the points up to about the playoffs and a few awards.

Currently, I'm winning with 14 points.
Losing is Madden 07.

The only reason why Im winning is because I correctly predicted Tomlinson to win the rushing title.

Wierdest thing was that Digi and Forumcrew both correctly predicted the exact layout of the NFC North division.
Least prediction is the NFC South division with three people only predicting 1 out of 4.

Everybody couldnt predict the first round playoff structure outside of Madden which did it with an Indy and Cincy matchup, and if Indy wins, they correctly got Baltimore too.

Wait until the end to see who wins.

It will come down to who correctly predicted the awards with a couple of guys with AJ Hawk as thier ROY award

well i dont think anyone picked Demeco for D ROY

What the hell?

Did I play this game? I don't remember.....
