Retire in good health Zach! What a great season you had!

"I think" "you have to realize", these are not the language of a decisive leader. Say it like you mean it Flacco!

I would agree with this however, we haven't seen Brady without Belicheck, so we can't really come to that conclusion! In the regular season, Belicheck can win without Brady, but in the post season there is little data to support that.

My issue is if Hooker is the Ball Hawk that people don't throw to in the secondary, then the corners on Ohio State are a bit more difficult to assess. I mean if you have that type of player playing over the top, the opposing offence is funneled away from that side of the field, and the corners have it ''easier''. To have Conley, Lattimore and Booker all top 20 picks is going to come down to who is the one making the plays or influencing the plays the most.

I wouldn't mind Peppers but not in the 1st round. He fits the mold as playing physical and playing like a Raven. He is a leader in spades and plays with great passion and emotion. I'd take him in the second round but I'd think he wouldn't be there. Sidney Jones or Q. Wilson would be ideal. One of them should be there at 16.

The way I see grading Brady is if you have Ed Reed back there, and your cornerbacks play well, it is a bit difficult to know how good your corners are. Same with Brady, he has Belicheck back there, so it is a bit difficult to assess his ''greatness'' to the teams. One thing is for sure though: the Belicheck + Brady combo is one of the best of all time. Who contributes more is difficult to ascertain.

Yeah, I think Pittsburgh will get to the quarterback. Their defence is playing extremely well. If they can stop the run, which I think they will, then they will make Brady's day a tough one. There is nothing I enjoy more than seeing Brady get hit! Even that Houston game, it was so enjoyable!

I think this where the Rodger's train goes off track. I just don't see how the GB defence will be able to stop Atlanta at home. If Dallas had a better game plan, they would've won easily. I think it will be an Atlanta blowout by more than 2 TDs.

Both in Denver and Houston, they were able to get pressure and abuse Brady repeatedly. Also, they had the best secondarys in the league!

I give him credit for bouncing back after a torn ACL and not missing 1 game. His durability and toughness is second to none in this league. That said, we did not make the playoffs and he is a big reason why we did not. Injured or not, he is AVERAGE JOE in the regular season, and JANUARY JOE in the post season.

And nobody listened to him, but what about his other picks? Probably the reason why they didn't listen to him.

New Top 50 prospects D. Jeremiah http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000775479/article/daniel-jeremiahs-top-50-prospects-for-2017-nfl-draft We have Sidney Jones as the 2nd best CB off the board behind Lattimore

I think we are going to go DB because we have Z. Smith, Judon, plus our 2nd round and 3rd round picks from last year that are ''pass rushers'' but haven't been on the field yet.

He got acquitted, but he might be off our board. That sucks. I guess it will depend on our scouts to dig for more info, but it looks a bit sketchy to be honest. http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/ncaaf/2015/08/24/-latest-woman-says-shes-sure-fsu-player-punched-her/32262335/

Should be a good game. Much rather Steelers than the Chiefs. Patriots are at home without travel, plus they have an extra day off to prepare and they had the BYE week, so they are rested and have the advantage. But if you look at Brady after that Houston game, he looked dejected. I think he was dejected because he got hit so much. He will be feeling it this week I guarantee that! If Dupree can lay the lumber early and set the tone, I think it will be a long night for Brady. Those Pittsburgh linebackers are fast and good. They got to send Mitchell, Shazier on some blitzes and knock Brady off the spot. If they can hit him early, they will have a good chance slowing them down. The Steelers have the muscle on both sides of the ball and that's how you can beat the Pats. Steelers have also been stout against the run since the latter part of the season and I don't expect Blount to be able run the ball effectively.

So why did the GM state unequivocally he did not know that the HC was fired? Anyone familiar with organizational structure knows this makes no sense. This is not a PR stunt as you claimed. And the evidence and reasoning you have offered is not convincing. Here is the article surrounding the circumstances of the firing of Rex Ryan. It is clear to me you have not done your due diligence: http://www.buffalobills.com/news/article-1/Bills-owner-outlines-reasons-for-firing-Rex-Ryan/fb3ef253-cba7-4776-b3eb-dd3cace2c3ea "And he spoke shortly after Whaley held an end-of-season news conference in which the general manager said he had no idea Ryan's job was in jeopardy and had no input into the coaching change. Pegula backed up Whaley's comments in his first interview since Ryan was fired on Dec. 27 and replaced by Anthony Lynn, who took over as interim coach. Pegula said he made what he called "an executive decision" to fire Ryan during his weekly conference call with the coach and Whaley."

LMAO

I would definitely trade Flacco for A. Rodgers but I know some Flacco Die hards would at least want Green Bay to throw in a sixth round pick.

Steelers will beat them. Steelers have a good enough team on both sides of the ball to do it. Their D is healthy compared to their first game in Pittsburgh and their O-line is dominating now which should allow them success moving the ball. If Big Ben can limit his TOs, Steelers win! Both the Falcons and Packers have bad defences so they are bad matchups for the Patriots. The Patriots are will score more than they will give up, considering they have one of the best defences in the league.

When you are the owner, you call the shots. So I'm not sure why it isn't a believable scenario, it happens all the time in organizations where people step over peoples toes.

You are certainly entitled to your opinion. But if you are asking me if my opinion will get management to cut Flacco, then my answer is no. This is only because I don't want to cut Flacco if you have actually read and understand my viewpoint. The stats are the stats. Thats why we keep them. It no pretend. The only thing pretending is those people who blindly defend Flacco, thinking he is playing better than he is.

Yeah I don't think Ben has played that well. I think their O-line is dominating.

Yeah I agree Ben has not played very well, but Bell and the O-line are dominating. It will be interesting to see if they can do that to the Pats. Both teams are good on both sides of the ball, so it will be a good matchup. I think with Tuitt back in the lineup and Dupree and Harrison on the outside and Shazier inside, they are going to get to the QB and hit Brady. If they can get to Brady, they will be able to slow him down. If they can't, their offence will have to keep them in. Good matchup! Wish it were us

Thats the point. It wasn't a strategy. It was done by the Owner. You don't fire a coach and blame it on the Owner.

Yeah Pittsburgh dominated that game. The score was not indicative of the play. They are going to be tough to beat because they are clicking both on offence and defence.
