RavensAllTheWay

Good with either.

I'm in.

That match should be forever coined "The Burning Bridge."

Yup, Willis and Borland left due to injury concerns, and Smith was old. Not too sure about Davis, though he made it sound like a sabbatical instead of retirement.

The thing that gets me is, if they don't like what management is doing, they should just ask to be traded instead of retiring.

Stupid rule imo. Close games are going to be won and lost by which kicker screws up or which team makes more 2 pt. conversions. They shouldn't be decided that way. It might benefit the Ravens because Tucker is a great kicker, but I still think the rule change sucks.

The realignment hurt the rivalry a lot. But I don't really miss it.

Same here. I can imagine how embarrassed they might be now that those messages are on display.

Lol at "Omg! Spaz." That had me in tears.

Well would you rather take a long trip to SF, come back and take another trip to ARZ and back later in the year? Evidently, the front office thinks not. I remember a few years ago, the 49ers traveled to Cincy, then stayed east for a week before playing the Eagles in Philly. Similar thing here. And for what it's worth, we have an extra day to travel because the Cardinals game is Monday Night.

Well if we're staying out west between SF and ARZ, I really wouldn't consider it a big deal, even if it is more travel than SF and OAK. SF to ARZ is still very little travel by NFL standards.

The point is that they wanted two consecutive games out west in order to save a trip. At least that was my understanding.

But I read recently that our FO requested playing at OAK and at SF back to back weeks. They wanted to play on the coast twice in a row to save a trip. At SF and ARZ back to back is basically the same thing trip wise.

I think the Eagles have gotten way worse. Foles has shown way more than Bradford (27/2 in 2013). They traded a QB who didn't finish last season for a guy who has always been injured and tore his ACL two years in a row. I think Murray will be a big downgrade from McCoy because the Cowboys used him up last year. Losing your most productive receiver (Maclin) hurts too. Also, for all the talk about Foles and McCoy each having a down year, Shady was still 2nd in the league with over 1,300 yards, and averaged over 4 a carry. Their O line was ravaged with injuries, which affected McCoy, which affected Foles. It's like Chip got rid of two guys who he thought wasn't cutting it, but didn't address the WHY. They had too many injuries on their line.

Trent's already dead though lol.

No. Going on 37.

3 years 15 million? Talk about overpaid.

So when one team possesses the ball, they use their own. When the other team possesses the ball, they use their own?

Just wondering...and maybe I'm totally ignorant and missing something, but what advantage does deflating balls provide? If both teams are using the same ball at the same time, what's the advantage? Again, maybe I'm missing something blatantly obvious

I think his contract ends after this season

If the Niners actually make the playoffs, I have an extremely hard time believing that that won't save his job. If they lose in the playoffs and fire him, they'd be way behind on their coaching search, as most of the hot candidates will have already been hired.

Well in that case, I stand corrected. Could they theoretically arrest him on Sunday if he's at the stadium? Edit: Nevermind, he just got taken into custody and released, lol

Honestly, I think the Vikings deactivating him is a dreadful overreaction.

I have Germany winning. It would also be fascinating if Klose broke the record today.
