Cardale Jones for #1 pick!

And that was the longest first half ever

QUOTE (bmags @ Jan 12, 2015 -> 05:29 PM) Maybe they'll get Dungy. That's not much of an improvement, plus you have to deal with his anti gay sentiments with the media

QUOTE (bmags @ Jan 12, 2015 -> 05:05 PM) In my opinion, you only do this if you have someone in mind. If they are going to interview like the rest of the teams, and it's just change for change's sake, then I think it was a fool's move. I think firing a coach coming off 4 straight division titles is a fool's move any way you look at it.

Is this a for real retirement or a 2011 "retirement "?

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Jan 12, 2015 -> 03:30 PM) He was not in the act of catching the pass. The act ended once he made a football move. Same as a player who catches the ball at the 5 yard line and immediately dives to the endzone. Once he dives after he catches the pass, the completion of the catch is over with. His "football move" occurred while he was falling to the ground because he jumped for the ball and never had balance. Hence, the above rule where he must keep control of the ball throughout the process of hitting the ground. That's not the same thing as a player who catches the ball on two feet, then dives for the end zone.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Jan 12, 2015 -> 02:59 PM) Football move = act common to the game (like diving or stretching for the endzone) Once he performs a move other than just making the catch, he's a catch. If he was just trying to catch it, he would have tucked it in. He clearly felt he had control, because he reached for the endzone with the ball. QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jan 12, 2015 -> 06:38 AM) http://static.nfl.com/static/content/publi...Pass_Fumble.pdf Item 1: Player Going to the Ground. If a player goes to the ground in the act of catching a pass (with or without contact by an opponent), he must maintain control of the ball throughout the process of contacting the ground, whether in the field of play or the end zone. If he loses control of the ball, and the ball touches the ground before he regains control, the pass is incomplete. If he regains control prior to the ball touching the ground, the pass is complete. But he was going to the ground, hence the above rule.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Jan 12, 2015 -> 02:31 PM) Megatron didn't make a "football move" or a "second act" like the announcers say in the video. Not that I would expect him to do so in the endzone, but Dez actually did more to prove he had possession when he made his second act by reaching for the goalline. Megatron's was more of an incomplete catch than Dez's was.

If he loses control of the ball, and the ball touches the ground before he regains control, the pass is incomplete. If he regains control prior to the ball touching the ground, the pass is complete. Nowhere in the rule about a player going to the ground does it say anything about a "football move"

QUOTE (bmags @ Jan 12, 2015 -> 12:25 PM) Yes, probably. Mariota is nice, but bird in the hand. Carr's no more of a sure thing than Mariota is at this point. If you think Mariota is better, you take him.

A rotation with Hector Noesi & this version of John Danks should not be much higher than 8th.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Jan 12, 2015 -> 11:20 AM) So where are the Bears at on their coaching search? The entire front office is in unanimous agreement that they need a head coach. One step at a time.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jan 12, 2015 -> 10:47 AM) Looks like Peyton played with a torn quad. Excuses, excuses. Aren't injuries like that supposed to be on the weekly injury report though? This isn't hockey with their lower-body injuries.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jan 12, 2015 -> 09:44 AM) I heard on the radio today that Marrone still gets paid by the Bills even though he opted out. This can't be true can it? Yup. I believe there was a $4 million opt-out clause in his contract if the ownership changed.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jan 12, 2015 -> 08:47 AM) Dan Pompeii mentioned this morning that it could be those serious health issues that he had in his final year that is keeping him where he is at. It was just an opinion, but there could be a lot of truth to it. Didnt he have a stroke on the sideline? Yeah, he collapsed at halftime of a game. From what I read, it wasn't technically a stroke, but could have been a precursor to one. His statement claims that wants to stay in Baltimore because he likes what they are building, but that sounds better than publicly blaming your health.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Jan 12, 2015 -> 08:41 AM) He had 5 touchdowns in the playoff lost to the Cardinals. This game is a perfect example of why W-L isn't a QB stat. He did have some tough games against the Giants and the 49ers twice, but their defense also played awful in two of those games. I saw that 51-45 score and remembered that crazy game. Like I said, I wasn't trying to draw conclusions about Rodgers, just didn't realize how little success they have had playoff wise. I think I was blinded by the NFC North domination.

QUOTE (buhbuhburrrrlz @ Jan 11, 2015 -> 09:17 PM) Kubiak said he's staying in Baltimore Won't even interview with the Bears for a promotion

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Jan 12, 2015 -> 08:09 AM) If gimpy Rodgers beats the Seahawks in Seattle, he will go from god status to omnipotent deity status. What's crazy though is how little playoff success he has had outside of the one Super Bowl run. In all other seasons, he was 1-4 in the playoffs (before yesterday) and that one victory was over Joe Webb. (I'm not trying to draw any conclusions about Rodgers, just thought it was interesting.)

Here's Megatron's non-TD catch again http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-game-highlig...Megatron-non-TD

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Jan 12, 2015 -> 01:23 AM) You just contradicted yourself. By "Stretching for the TD" he is making a football move. At that point, it's ruled a catch. According to the reversal, he never showed he had possession, he never stretched or reached for the endzone. And that's horses***. I've seen the replay 100 times now. He is absolutely turning his arm up towards the goalline. If he was just trying to catch the ball, he would have tucked it, not extended outward. Horrible call to end a great game. The NFL is a f***ing joke with some of these calls and rules. For all the Lions fans who said that the horrible call last week ended their season, they've got nothing on this call, as the Cowboys never possessed the ball again, and were losing. Lions were winning and had 2 more possessions. While both were bad calls, one team had good chance to make the call irrelevant. The other team is the Cowboys. And the Cowboys had a damn good chance to win the Superbowl as well. They have beaten 2 of the 3 opponents possibly advancing already this season. http://static.nfl.com/static/content/publi...Pass_Fumble.pdf Item 1: Player Going to the Ground. If a player goes to the ground in the act of catching a pass (with or without contact by an opponent), he must maintain control of the ball throughout the process of contacting the ground, whether in the field of play or the end zone.

Trent Richardson - inactive for a playoff game. What was worse, the Browns drafting him so high or the Colts giving up a 1st round pick after watching him suck?

QUOTE (zenryan @ Jan 11, 2015 -> 03:07 PM) he was on his way to the ground the entire time. I know, wasn't arguing the call, just the rule. Even though he was falling to the ground, I think he showed enough control that the catch should count, just like the Megatron catch vs the Bears. Obviously the current rule says differently

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 11, 2015 -> 03:02 PM) I don't know how you can call that one a 'Stupid rule". The ball hit against the ground and bounced out of the grip in his hand. That one actually looks quite clear to me and I don't think there's any interpretation that would allow that to be a catch. From the time he caught it, he took 3 steps and reached for the end zone. IMO that should be enough control to call it a catch.

Wow. I don't think the reversal was wrong, I think it's just a bad rule.

QUOTE (zenryan @ Jan 11, 2015 -> 02:46 PM) what a throw on that TD pass Awesome camera angle to see his view on that throw, made it look so easy

Potentially season saving forced fumble by Peppers, Murray was gone for 6 there. Where was that last year?
