What was that about needing playmakers? ;-)

Joe likes that!

Where do people come up with this stuff? We made KO a highly competitive offer, offered to make him the highest paid guard in football, in fact. Yeah, $10 mil should have been enough to keep him, but the Raiders paid him $12 mil/yr, and NOBODY saw that coming.

Oh, that is all great news!

ugggh... He's hit so much, and hurt all over to the point he doesn't even know when he injured it. This is terrible.

LOL, can Hensley get any worse?

Come on in, and close the door Winds are howling, and the blizzard's getting deep out there, but we've got a fire going, and room for all in this negative-free zone. Might even be able to scrounge up a bottle of brandy or two. And, oh, yeah, we've also got Sunday Ticket, so win or lose we can still cheer on our beloved Ravens.

OK, even I had to LOL ? at this one!

I think the major fallacy in all of this is the OP's assumption that "playmakers" can't also be team players. It's just not true, good players have to be both. Just look at Chip Kelly 's epic fail in Philly with a collection of primadonnas.

Nope, don't remember that. The real question is what to do about it, which is what I believe we were discussing - OP was critical of our drafting strategy, I merely pointed out a few we drafted who turned into playmakers (Flacco, Pitta, Rice), and a few we've recently drafted who were the definition of a playmaker in college (Dixon, Reynolds) who haven't yet produced at an NFL level. Didn't say we don't need playmakers, not at all, got blasted by OP anyway. Just trying to have an in-depth discussion on how to fix it instead of merely complaining.

Yeah, I think we recycle this topic every year for about a month before the draft.

Oh, I feel you. Burfict is a menace.

Coulda shoulda woulda. Yeah, it's frustrating, but that Qb sneak with Joe works like 99% of the time. Only frustrating because it's not working.

I don't think people here are complaining about the calls being unfair as much as our players making bone-headed mistakes.

Matt Ryan threw 5 ints against the Cards in 2012, and won.

Spoiled, I tell ya. Spoiled rotten. Sure, we suck right now, but guess what? This is the NFL in the parity Era. So does pretty much everybody else. We have as much chance to turn it around and catch fire as anyone.

This is not a Flacco or a draft thread. Can we please try to stay on topic?

I know. Makes Elway look like a genius, I hate that.

Umm, no. We totally dominated in the 1st half, just shot ourselves in the foot with penalties. Giants did nothing until Jimmy went out, and even then it was a one score game that came down to the very last play. Biggest baloney post I've seen in a while.

I believe in the football gods. Please tell me we've paid enough penance for the RR fiasco.

If that's true, why haven't we had a single one?

Ridiculous. Jimmy was having a great game before he went out. Beckham didn't go off until the 2ND half.

So Glazier miraculously has the results of an MRI that hasn't been done yet? And knows it's minor enough to play through? Just lost all credibility.

Well we're not doing that before next week. But keep beating that drum, please.
