Kellen Davis wins Super Bowl
He was one of 7 inactives and doesn't suit for game. http://espn.go.com/blog/seattle-seahawks/p...eattle-seahawks They didn't even want him in uniform in case his drops would spread to the other players, lol.

2013-2014 Playoff Open Thread
Yeah, I still am pissed about that game. We should've won easily, but our defense was banged up.

2013-2014 Playoff Open Thread
How can Denver score the most pts in history and get shutout in the 1st half of the SuperBowl? Hard to call Manning the best QB ever with a loss here. He will still be top 5, but below Brady and Montana at least.

What you think about Garza?
I have no issues bring Garza back for another year or two while we groom some other guys.

Who is your #1 FA Target?
I would love to target a Safety, either Ward or Byrd. I just figure that is where we could see the biggest upgrade vs Conte, Wright, Steltz, etc. As much as we got gashed in the run game, I believe that was more due to injuries than personnel. However, our Safety play was abysmal and would seem to be the biggest single position upgrade we could have. Conte was the worst player of all the starters in all units besides maybe Podlesh. the #1 target should be the player that if we had no other additions would be the single biggest upgrade, and that has to be Ward or Byrd.

Thanks, not too much of a shocker.

I doubt we look at more LB's.

Official Senior Bowl Thread
A bunch of Senior Bowl players go every year, and I believe we had 2-3 drafted last year from those rosters. So who are the potential targets this year?

Ugh, Carlin Isles to Detroit.
Has any full-time Rugby player ever made an impact on an NFL roster?

Ugh, Carlin Isles to Detroit.
I doubt he even makes the team.

Fantasy Football TalkBears Keeper League
What was your team name?

Fantasy Football TalkBears Keeper League
We are? I was just saying some guys had some tough decisions like the example I listed. I already locked MadLith in for Alshon as his keeper and Forte in the first round for him.

Fantasy Football TalkBears Keeper League
Some interesting names and decisions this year. The Bunny 3. (25) Peyton Manning (Den - QB) or 9. (85) Josh Gordon (Cle - WR) So the #1 player in FFB for a 2nd rounder or a top 10 non-QB scorer for an 8th rounder? For mine, I am stuck between 4-5 players, depending on offseason acquisitions, etc.

Jennings to replace Shermam
Looks like Kyle Long may make it as well: http://www.csnchicago.com/bears/bears-cb-t...&ocid=yahoo That would make 5. Really nice if Long makes it as a rook.

2013-2014 Playoff Open Thread
OMG yeah, not a humble one in the bunch. Hopefully Sherman busts his knee like Bowman in the SB. On another note, that had to be one of the worst officiating playoff games I can remember. So many non-calls or wrong calls on Seattle. When Bowman got hurt, he was on the ground for at least 1-2 seconds before some Seattle player dives at him and rips the ball out of his hands. Then the running into the punter call, that was a clear hit and should've been roughing. That was at least a 10 pt swing and was the difference in the game.

2014 Free Agents to fix the Defense
Jairus Byrd, T.J. Ward, and Michael Bennett. I would love Mack, but I doubt we can afford him. We will hopefully get one of the other 3 I mentioned.

Lions new HC
Well they had a 2 game lead in the division with 4 to play. They surely imploded, but they would not even been in the picture with an injury to Megatron or Suh for a significant amount of time.
-
Caldwell Lions new coach
Caldwell seems like a safe pick. I thought the Ravens regressed a lot this year, and they were no offensive juggernaut last year. We will miss Schwartz and his bone headed decisions, that is for sure.
-
Lions new HC
Actually, after listening today on the radio, they had some great points why it would not be: 1. It is Detroit, enjoy the city 2. The team is tied to Stafford, and some do not think he is a franchise QB 2a. Stafford said he doesn't need to be coached 3. More money offered elsewhere 4. You have to play the Bears and Packers twice a year, and AP twice a year, not an easy division 5. Did I already say you would have to live near Detroit 6. Team has a few superstars, and then no one else. One injury away from being more mediocre

Lions new HC
https://twitter.com/NFL_ATL/status/422870617138819073 Just think how they felt when a drunk Jim Schwartz came off the plane instead. http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nfl-shutdown...36877--nfl.html This is a good point, DET seems like a better core over TEN yet he chose the Titans. It must be Nashville over Detroit.

2013-2014 Playoff Open Thread
Seattle looks really overrated, barely beat NO at home, and they got all the calls. They hold no call, NO WR's push off OPI. If it wasn't for the NO kicker woes again, that game would've been even closer. Seattle has a great Defense, and Bennett was dominant. He will look great in the Windy City next year. I suspect it is going to come down to SF at SEA and NE at DEN. Both are great games. I don't know if CAR can hang with a hobbled Steve Smith. Cam will eventually implode. NE is rolling like usual, and I can't see Denver losing twice at home in the same season with Peyton at QB.

Jeffery to the Pro Bowl
Yeah, from Roy Williams to Marshall and Jeffery is an impressive turn around at any position. Literally worst to first in 2 years.

NFL looking to expand playoffs
Actually, the league changes its playoff format every 10-12 years, so I don't know what is actually tradition anymore: From 1978 through 1989, there were 3 division winners and 2 Wild Card teams From 1990 through 2001, there were 3 division winners and 3 Wild Card teams From 2002 through 2013, there were 4 division winners and 2 Wild Card teams
-
NFL looking to expand playoffs
Very true, Lovie is probably still the coach if that was the case. In the end, 1 more team only adds 1 more Wild Card game, which is more revenue for the league and the last team involved, but it is not such a huge change that detracts from the purpose of the playoffs.

NFL looking to expand playoffs
Unlike other sports with 82+ games, in reality it makes more games meaningful. Just think how many more teams would be "alive" in December if there was a 7th seed. Also, if they went to only one bye, then that #1 seed becomes even more critical to achieve.
