2007 NFL Thread

[Matt]

Romo sucked tonight....

Cowboys did not play well tonight....

The kicker saved the game tonight....

Cowboys got lucky tonight....


But no matter what, the team did not quit....THAT is what you take into the rest of the week, after Phillips kick their asses tomorrow.


Pretty good way to sum it up. And on that note, I am going to bed.

[Excel]

You also have to take into account that he has neither the recievers, nor the line Dallas has and his team was plagued by injuries. Ontop of that, he was playing against a coach who knows him better than anyone in the NFL.

Santonio Holmes is an animal :o

Matt this why coachs must have the patience of a saint. You dont bench someone who has been playing better then everybody but TOM BRADY because of one bad performace; recievers or not his numbers are through the roof. It is that simple; you play 16 games; you cant afford to lose a single one of em and Brad Johnson would be horrible.

Even you wanted to punish him that bad, benching him isnt punishing him. Its punishing THE TEAM and THE FANS. One bad performance in one half in a game you WON isn't even worth a talking to.

He isnt a 5 year old kid; he knows he ****d up. Hell hear it while watchin film and move on because frankly he doesnt have time focus on anything else except finding a way to beat The Patriots.

[Advanced Dark]

Owens dropped a critical 1st down, a TD, and a 2pt conversion. WTF? They still win. Just like the Titans but even more impressive.

[CConn]

You make it seem like there would be a cou'p among the Dallas players if Romo sat one game on the side lines with a clip board.There would be. Because it would be the equivalent of Philips coming out and saying he doesn't care about winning, and doesn't have any confidence in the only half-decent QB the Cowboys have had since Aikman.

Look, I'm an Eagles fan. I hate the Cowboys. Would love to see them loose for the rest of their existence. But even I, in all my bias, can see Romo is pretty damn good quarterback, and this team is a pretty damn good team. And benching Romo would do nothing but hurt that good team.
Maybe, but his performances never reached the level of Romo tonight.But that doesn't matter. When you have multiple bad games, it creates a pattern and shows you're not learning and not getting better. Playing badly in one game just shows you...played badly in one game. It doesn't give you the chance to show you're learned anything, it doesn't give you the chance to get better.

And hey, sure, Ben was benched, but...what about Peyton Manning? He had bad games. Horrible games. Where he threw 3 interceptions a game, 24 interceptions in a year. He wasn't benched. Did he turn into Kordell Stewart? Did that do anything to hurt the team in the long run? No, he didn't. And no, it didn't.

[CConn]

Kordell Stewart had potential. He simply wasted it. :csad:Matt's credibility: "I'm flying! ....is that a window?"

If only the Seahawks were as lucky yesterday. I'd rather see the Hawks play 'not well' as the Cowboys did tonight than what I saw yesterday. You guys still got the win. That's what good teams do, imo.

[Fran]

Dallas was looking ahead to NE. Can't help it, the best team in the NFL is coming to your home.

But wow, what a finish. I still haven't seen any footage yet :o

[NewYorkSpider]

Jake Delhomme is out as QB of the Panthers. David Carr is now the starter. We had better just start planning for the offseason. There is no way he leads this team to the playoffs.

[Fran]

The #1 pick is ours!!! :cmad:

[NewYorkSpider]

The #1 pick will probably be the Dolphins. They wish they had Brady Quinn now.

[Excel]

Yeah; that is it. Dallas thought this would be an easy win and didnt prepare as well as normal. It happens a lot more often then people seem to think.

[Fran]

What? Ted Ginn at 9 was a steal!

[Jerry!]

I guess the thought process was Ginn would be a Hester like acquisition. Has he done anything yet? I haven't followed him in the NFL all that much.

[Fran]

No, not really. Like most OSU players turned pro. *cough*Clarett*cough*

[Excel]

The #1 pick will probably be the Dolphins. They wish they had Brady Quinn now.

Whoever gets ahold of Mike Hart is in for a big surprise; he is gonna be a star next season. 1400 yards+. I dunno who will get him as Dolphins got brown; Rams have Jackson...Hart in Detroit would be a dream. All Michigan loves him and they need a running back...

Mike Martz+Jon Kitna+Roy Williams+Calvin Johnson+Mike Hart=:wow: :wow: :wow:

Mike Hart is the best player in college football this season, period. He is showing up everyone, and literally carrying Michigan. He is a leader, wont give up, and oh yeah, hes a pretty decent running back too.

[Fran]

Not all of Michigan loves Hart. I hate him.

[Memphis Slim]

What? Ted Ginn at 9 was a steal!


Ginn should have been a Colt.

[Excel]

Mike Hart is the best player in college football this season, period. He is showing up everyone, and literally carrying Michigan. He is a leader, wont give up, and oh yeah, hes a pretty decent running back too.

More importantly; he is a fantastic between the tackles; north to south running back. The adjustment to the NFL will be much easier for him then it has been for say, Reggie Bush, at running back. Yeah, hes in college and theres a big difference between college and the pros...however hes averaging 162 yards a game in college doing it the same way he'll be doing next year. How big is the difference really? I would expect atleast a 90 yards per game for Mike next year; unless he gets drafted top 3.

[NewYorkSpider]

Ginn should have been a Colt.

Even if Quinn went to Miami, Ginn wouldn't have dropped that far.

[Cmill216]

Wait a second.....how did the Bills "deserve to win this game?" :huh:

They scored 3 points offensively, and squandered four of those turnovers by doing absolutely nothing with them.

[Memphis Slim]

Even if Quinn went to Miami, Ginn wouldn't have dropped that far.


I know. Just a pipe dream I'm sure Ginn has as he watches ESPN highlights. :woot:

The one that won is the one that deserves to win.

I wanted the Bills to win. If nothing else, their Defense play one heck of a game.

[Mister J]

I guess the thought process was Ginn would be a Hester like acquisition. Has he done anything yet? I haven't followed him in the NFL all that much.
He's a decent return man. Practically non-existent on offense.

Cameron's reasoning behind that pick was some of the most boneheaded and nonsensical I've ever seen. I don't care if he would have been a Hester clone, he's got no business going at #9 unless he can make an impact in the regular scheme of the offense.

[Cmill216]

The one that won is the one that deserves to win.

I wanted the Bills to win. If nothing else, their Defense play one heck of a game.

They sure as heck did. But I saw a few pages back, people clamoring "Dallas didn't deserve it", "Buffalo should've won", yatta yatta.

The Bills did jack diddly poo on offense. Your defense gives you four turnovers (outside of the two taken back for touchdowns) and you do zero with those turnovers.

No wonder they're 1-4. Bunch o' scrubs. :down

[Advanced Dark]

The Titans and Cowboys gave their opponents all the chances in the World to take the game. They refused. Oh well.

[Cmill216]

Good lord, with Delhomme going down for the year and the Saints out of the picture, Tampa would breeze through the NFC South if we had a healthy friggin' running back.

[Advanced Dark]

They can trade next week.

[Cmill216]

Thank God we have Tiki on speed dial. ;)

Bucs have no running back after losing 2 starters:

Sprained ankle may sideline Bucs' Pittman up to two months
Associated Press


TAMPA, Fla. -- Tampa Bay's Michael Pittman could be sidelined up to two months with an ankle sprain that has the Buccaneers scrambling for experienced help at running back.

Coach Jon Gruden said Monday that the team was waiting for the results of an MRI exam, but that it appeared Pittman, injured during Sunday's 33-14 loss at Indianapolis, will be out six to eight weeks.

How do they measure up?
With Cadillac Williams out for the year and Michael Pittman gone for up to two months, it is up to Earnest Graham and Kenneth Darby to step up for the Bucs:


Player-by-Player comparison

As you can tell by looking at NFL.com's head-to-head breakdown, the loss of Michael Pittman could be the most statistically damaging to the Bucs' chances. For complete details, click here."It is a pretty good sprain, we do believe," Gruden said. "That's a tough blow for us."

It's the second straight week the coach delivered grim news on a precarious tailback situation.

Carnell "Cadillac" Williams, the 2005 NFL offensive rookie of the year, was lost for the season after tearing the patellar tendon in his right knee during a victory over Carolina on Sept. 30.

Pittman, the team's best receiver out of the backfield, replaced Williams as the starter against the Colts and hurt his right ankle when he was tackled by linebacker Tyjuan Hagler midway through the second quarter.

"You have to adjust," Gruden said. "Cadillac was a guy that really was featured on first and second down. Pittman is a guy that has been featured on third down. Now we've lost both of those backs."

With Williams and Pittman out, fourth-year pro Earnest Graham moves into the starting role after spending most of his career as a contributor on special teams. Rookie Kenneth Darby is the backup after beginning the season on the practice squad.

While Gruden conceded the Bucs are in the market for help, he wouldn't say if the team is pursuing a trade or is more likely to sign a free agent.

"I'm not going to get involved in the speculation," the coach said.

The Bucs entered Sunday's game averaging 137 yards rushing, but fell behind early and were limited to 17 yards on 12 attempts. Pittman carried five times for minus-1 yard and Graham finished with 11 yards on six carries.

Gruden said the Colts' domination was not indicative of how much progress the Bucs (3-2), who are tied with Carolina for first place in the NFC South, have made since finishing 4-12 a year ago.

Indianapolis outgained Tampa Bay 400 yards to 177 and controlled the ball to the point that the Bucs were only able to run 40 plays -- the third-lowest number of snaps ever taken by a Colts opponent.

"I think we're a pretty good team. I realize the scoreboard and the statistics said a lot differently, but we think we're pretty good," the coach said. "We're not the first team to go into that dome and be beaten. I just want to remind people of that."

Tampa Bay's ability to move the ball also was affected by the absence of left tackle Luke Petitgout, who is out for the season with a knee injury. Second-year pro Donald Penn made his first NFL start against Indianapolis, drawing the assignment of blocking Pro Bowl defensive end Dwight Freeney.

"I thought he did some really good things," Gruden said. "There weren't a lot of snaps to evaluate, but he did a good job. He really did."

Titans are going to own the Bucs.

[NewYorkSpider]

Puff puff, pass. :hyper:

I was only joking. Hopefully David Carr can lead the Panthers too the playoffs.:csad:

Where's Ryan Leaf and Todd Marinovich when you need them?

[KALEL114]

So far Sports Radio in Dallas is being very kind to Romo. I think a few people thought other wise yesterday.

[cookiva]

He did have a decent 4th quarter in leading them back to the win. That shows us that he basically does not lose confidence, which is good.


We also found out that Folk has ice water for blood.

[KALEL114]

I totally agree. There has been alot of people doubting him before this game, so I was affraid it would add fuel to their fire. One bad game is all it was IMO. Alot of other QB's would have never recovered in the end like he did. Having a great defense/special teams helps also.

[cookiva]

The defense allowed 3 points. That was lost in all of this. Outside of the brain fart on special teams, really only Romo and TO played below what we expected, and Dallas' coverage on special teams was already pretty bad. I expect them to bounce back next week and make the game competitive, but no win next week.

Patriots 27 Dallas 24

[Mister J]

That's the important thing; he did lead them a W in spite of all that happen. Romo admitted he stunk it up for a good majority of last night, but when they needed plays to win the game, he did what you want your QB to do. He was something like 9-11 on that last TD drive and made big throws that would have made things easier for Dallas if TO didn't drop two passes. QBs have bad, even abysmal, games sometimes, but a guy who can keep his head in the game and perform down the stretch is someone I want leading my offense.

[Dark Donnie]

I just read Tatum Bell might be on his way back to Denver....Also Mike Bell possibly to Tampa Bay

Mike Bell is being shopped to the Bucs

full Article: http://www2.tbo.com/content/2007/oct...s/?sports-bucs

"Mike Bell, an undrafted second-year pro out of Arizona, has seemingly fallen out of favor in Denver. He almost certainly would come cheaper than Turner, and he could provide the same kind of return."

Tatum Bell May Be Traded Bak To Denver

http://www.profootballtalk.com/rumormill.htm

POSTED 12:28 p.m. EDT, October 9, 2007

LIONS COULD TRADE TATUM BELL by Michael David Smith

The Lions and Broncos have already worked out one trade this year involving running back Tatum Bell, who was sent to Detroit in the off-season, along with offensive lineman George Foster, in exchange for cornerback Dre' Bly.

But could the Lions now trade Bell back to the Broncos?

David Birkett of the Oakland Press reports that Lions coach Rod Marinelli is using this week's bye to evaluate the running back rotation, and that with Kevin Jones and T.J. Duckett both getting healthier, Bell might be the odd man out. The Broncos, of course, would lose their starting running back if Travis Henry loses in his current bid to avoid a one-year NFL suspension, and they might be interested in acquiring a back who already knows the offense.

"I like it here," Bell told Birkett. "I like it where we're going. I think we're building, we got something special. I want to be a part of this, but if it don't work out I just got to move on."

Bell has started all five games this season, but he is clearly being phased out of the offense. On Sunday he never got the ball in the second half.

"We got to be the only team in the league where the starting running back don't even play the whole second half," Bell said. "I don't know if they're trying to tell me something or what."

If the Lions do try to trade Bell, they could also get interest from the Buccaneers, who have lost Cadillac Williams for the season and Michael Pittman for six to eight weeks.

The NFL trade deadline is 4 p.m. October 16

:dry:

[cookiva]

I loved his comments post game. He knew he sucked, and admitted on national television that he didn't have any part in winning. He put it all on Folk, which I loved. Im ordering a Folk jersey right now.

[Dark Donnie]

I utterly hate the Cowboys, but that was a nice win last night!

[KALEL114]

I think we can pull it off. We did beat the Colts last year. I know that was last year, but it shows anything can happen. New England is running on all cylinders, but they (us as well) have not played a good team yet. Our confidence has probably never been higher after pulling together yesterday. It will be a great game nontheless.

We let Schuab go.
Vick's hidden dog fighting involvments are revealed, all hell breaks loose.
Mediocre Harrington is bumped up as Falcons starting QB.
DJ Shockley is injured.
The aforementioned all hell continues.

Sigh.

Atlanta needs to sign Eric Zier :(

[Dark Donnie]

DJ Shockley wouldn't have been much better :)

[Immortalfire]

And a good kicker. Someone call Billy Bennett!

[Immortalfire]

DJ Shockley wouldn't have been much better :)

He will be.

[StorminNorman]

DJ Shockley wouldn't have been much better :)

Shockley would of added a mobile threat to a good arm.

He may of not provided a few of the same throws Harrington can make, but he wouldn't be sacked nearly as much.

Praise Hayden Fox I am not a Miami fan.

...Sorry Mister J
Better than ever? :huh:
He doesn't have 200 passing yards total this year. Do you remember what Daunte was like at his peak?


The Green news sucks, although this result wasn't that far of a reach from the outset. Hindsight is always 20/20, but they made a move to get a starter at the risk of ticking off a guy who wasn't ready to go by mini-camp. With what Miami knew at the time, it was a good move.

I've been numb for this season ever since a punt returner was drafted at #9. With the #1 pick a possibility this year, I'm scouring the college landscape to see who the best kicker or punter is. It should be legendary. :dry:

[FaT_tONle]

HOW BOUT' DEM COWBOYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Showtime]

As much as I hate both teams, I'm pulling for the Cowboys. It only helps the Colts in the standings. :woot:

I am excited, I get too watch two teams I have been following for years. The Patriots since as far as I can remember and the Colts since the Harbaugh era.

[Showtime]

I know I am a little late with this, but..

Are you really that excited about that win, granted it was a highly entertaining game, but Romo looked like Ryan Leaf against the Bills defense.

[KALEL114]

I'm excited by it because it increases the confidence in the team as a whole. Romo had a bad game, but he didn't run and hide under a rock like alot of other young QB's would. He drove them down the field at the end, confidently. Our defense and special teams steped it up. That is what makes a great team. If one part of your game isn't doing well the rest of the team carries you through. Next week is going to be great.

[Excel]

People forget before 2004; hell in 2004; it was not Manning everybody expected to break the td record. It was Daunte. I remember watching a pregame interview of him by Dan Marino from 2004 where Daunte had 18 td passes through the first 5 games; and Marino asked if hed break the record that year.

[StorminNorman]

Better than ever? :huh:
He doesn't have 200 passing yards total this year. Do you remember what Daunte was like at his peak?

He also Randy Moss during those years and an offense that was a power house.

His supporting cast isn't half of what it was in Minnesota, and from what I have seen Daunte has impressed me more this year than he did before.

[FaT_tONle]

Are you really that excited about that win, granted it was a highly entertaining game, but Romo looked like Ryan Leaf against the Bills defense.

I thought Romo should have been benched after the fifth but they stuck with him and he pulled it out with the help of the kicker. That's the kind of game championship teams pull out thats all there is to it. That said... its still a LONG season... but anything less than a Superbowl berth will be a bust... now I can live with the Packers returning to the Superbowl but the whole Farve comeback will wear thin soon enough and the Pack will miss the playoffs or get knocked out in the first round as a wild card...so Dallas should be able to get homefield which means its their conference to lose. Now they need some upsets on the other side to have a chance so Cowboy haters should breath easy until then.

[Mister J]

That offense was ridiculous. Those two, plus Cris Carter and Robert Smith? Yikes.
Still can't believe they dropped that championship game against the Falcons.

That running game will help him a lot in Oakland. If Jerry Porter actually decides he wants to play, he could have a productive year.

:(

The Cowboys surely showed they don't give up and won very ugly. Nothing wrong with that. I am not sure about the Packers yet, I think they're in it for the long haul. The true test for the Cowboys is the Patriots.

[FaT_tONle]

Me too. I said bench him but TO hurt them in the end and almost cost them their last chance.

Just gonna have to deal with the drops... you have to play on T.Os strengths.... he is the BIG play guy... you go to him and 1 & 10... 2 & 4... let him stretch the field... you use him as a decoy in the red zone... or a safety net if you are trying to make something out of nothing WITHOUT forcing the football... the problem with Romo is sometimes he gets too locked down to T.O or Witten in key drives... getting Glenn back till help... Romo needs to use his check downs and slot receivers more though... too many weapons that have YET to be utilized.

[KALEL114]

The Cowboys surely showed they don't give up and won very ugly. Nothing wrong with that. I am not sure about the Packers yet, I think they're in it for the long haul. The true test for the Cowboys is the Patriots.
The same can be said about the Patriots also.

[SurfDUI]

I am excited, I get too watch two teams I have been following for years. The Patriots since as far as I can remember and the Colts since the Harbaugh era.

I don't think so. The Patriots have been "for real" since Brady took over. And they have been destroying teams without some of their best defense players out there. Its a test for the Cowboys.

[Excel]

Reggie Bush isn't dominating, btw.

120 all purpose yards in his first full game is bad? Nah; didnt think so :o

[StorminNorman]

120 all purpose yards in his first full game is bad? Nah; didnt think so :o

It really isn't the numbers of a dominant back.

[CConn]

120 all purpose yards in his first full game is bad? Nah; didnt think so :o
He averaged 3.2 yards a carry.

Yeah, 120 yards? That'd be great for a WR, it's a shame he's a running back.

[Excel]

1 game into a bet that would realistically have to least 2 years is a little soon to make a final call...but 120 yards with the way that o line was playing is good.

I predict 150 next game.

[KALEL114]

I don't think so. The Patriots have been "for real" since Brady took over. And they have been destroying teams without some of their best defense players out there. Its a test for the Cowboys.
And who have they beaten this year? The truth is both teams have not played good teams yet. Which is why it is a good measuring stick for both teams.

[Excel]

He averaged 3.2 yards a carry.

Yeah, 120 yards? That'd be great for a WR, it's a shame he's a running back.

He ended the first half with 54 on 10 carries and a long of 6. The o line played like crap in 2nd half :o

And like I said on Sunday...its 1 game. If he still averaging sub 4 yards carry on week 11 or 12 Ill say things arent looking good...but its only week 5.

[CConn]

Ah, that's it. Blame the offensive lines.

Cause, y'know, it's everybody's fault but Reggie's.

[Bond]

Jussayin'...

All Cowboys fans here in Dallas did chew Romo up today. It means something that the Boys came back and won it, but Romo was still god-awful, and we know that.

[CConn]

Eh, he had a bad game.

And it was still him that pulled it out in the end by scoring the touchdown, and putting them in position to score the field goal. A lesser quarterback couldn't do that.

[Excel]

And who have they beaten this year?

Lets clarify something.

"Beaten".

Yeah; on paper they have won the games; they have "beaten" the opponents.

They have beaten 1 team by 29 points, 2 teams by 24 points, 1 team by 21 points, and 1 team by 17 points.

And that is when they are pretty much taking it easy on them for the whole 4th quarter. The 2and string running back is getting 10 carries a game; and they have only gone deep to Moss 2 times all year.

Maybe the standings say they are "beating" teams, but on the scoreboard; they are/putting a ****ING UP/BLOWING OUT/KICKING THE **** OUT OF THEM/ASS BEATING/BUTT KICKING the other teams.

If they were beating San Duego, Cincinatti; and co. by 3-7; maybe even 10 points; then the "they have an easy schedule" argument might work.

They "BEAT" 4 of the 5 teams theyve played by 3 touchdowns minimum; it doesnt work.

Logic would say if they DESTROY average opponents, they will BEAT good ones. It wont be a huge blow out; but theyll win alright.

[Excel]

Ah, that's it. Blame the offensive lines.

Cause, y'know, it's everybody's fault but Reggie's.

Psh; Bush has a lot work on. All I am saying is it ha sbeen 1 game and he is already showed what I was refering to; when he has this role week in and week out and gets used to it like he will in the coming weeks; his numbers will continue to grow significantly.

[KALEL114]

Jussayin'...

Where did that happen? I haven't heard him being "chewed up". Sports talk radio has done nothing but praise him for coming back in the end.

[Excel]

P.S. Matt Lienarts NFL career is already in jeopardy.

Wow.

Well they didn't almost get beat by the Bills I can tell you that. Brady didn't throw 5 interceptions against one of the worst defenses in the league, I can tell you that.

7-17. That is the combined record that NE opponents have. They are suppose to beat them bad escpecially since all of them have the worst defenses in the league.. They haven't even played a team with a .500 record yet. This is a test for them, period.

[Jerry!]

Which team do you have more doubt in? The answer to that is the answer to the question which team is this game a test for. The Patriots ARE the measuring stick for how a football team is supposed to play.

Well judging by the performance of the Cowboys against the Bills, the Cowboys need to be afraid. If they performed like that against any other team in the NFL, nevermind the Patriots, they would have gotten their asses handed to them.

[Excel]

I predict the sun will rise tomorrow.



and I predict that same way yall are saying after 1 game Bush aint dominating that if next week he rushes for 150 yards and 2 tds and recieves for 100 yards you will say

"its one week; no way he holds it up the whole season."


Truth is it is one week; see he keeps doing.

7-17. That is the combined record that NE opponents have. They are suppose to beat them bad escpecially since all of them have the worst defenses in the league.. They haven't even played a team with a .500 record yet. This is a test for them, period.

5 of those losses came against us; so outside they are 7-12 and thats 5 less victories they could have had :o

The Pats beat the Bills by 31 points. The Cowboys beat them by just 1 point.

You do the math.

Now, now. I have already agreed that this is a huge test for Dallas. That isn't the issue here. The issue is that you do not believe this is a test for NE. NE has not played agianst a good team yet. They are coming to a good teams house this Sunday. It is test for them.

[Excel]

Its more of a quiz than a test. The test will be colts. :o

But my bold prediction of the week...if Laurence Maroney plays hell be 2nd for the Pats in recieving yards but I also expect Moss to break 100 again.

One place these teams arent even is running game; Pats kill em. In order to take Moss, Stallworth, Welker and Watson out of the equation next week (besides covering them downfield with corners, safeties, and line backers) they are gonna try and put huge pressure on Brady. Every time he drops back the RB will be wide open in the backfield.

Maroney in flats. Screens to him will be very valuable.

The Patriots can keep the Cowboys offense contained because they are so unbalanced without a good consistent running game. Patriots can't as long as Maroney is in the game. Morris alone is hardly a threat.

F-em dude, really some of these posters are fanbois first and football fans second. Which means they relish in negative...arseholes the lot of them.

My thing w/ Bush is he is USC and there all a bunch of stiffs. They beat up on folks on the NCAA level and VERY few of them translate there status to the pro game...poor Matt leinart, Bush however is great for the league, so what he got his butt beat by the COLTS, so do everybody else, he's only the RB, AND their best player. He will come into his own, there won't be anymore OJ's or Jim Browns-Not USC.

Bush is a great back, ANY team would want him.

[NewYorkSpider]

Just heard a rumor that the Carolina Panthers may sign Drew Bledsoe or Vinny Testaverde.

There is also a rumor that they could sign former Florida Gators QB Chris Leak who is a North Carolina native.

[Showtime]

Bledsoe for the win.

Isnt' Testaverde on the Patriots?

[Immortalfire]

He's got my vote.

I'm guessing he'll help them with local real estate scouting. :huh:

[CConn]

By half a game over every other team in our ****ed up division. Just wait, another month and a half and they'll be firmly in the cellar where they belong. You can't go without a passing game forever.:word:
But Culpepper gives them a passing game. :confused:

[CConn]

And isn't Testaverde 50?

[Showtime]

He's got my vote.

This is only after one day of Bob's Levitation Camp...

And isn't Testaverde 50?

...and a Patriot I believe.

[NewYorkSpider]

I don't no why they would sign him. Thank god it's just a rumor. What really scares me is that he signed with the Chicago Bears after the draft and worked out with the team. Rex Grossman probably gave him some pointers.

[NewYorkSpider]

...and a Patriot I believe.

No. He's a free agent.

[Kaleb]

Patriots cut him.

[Showtime]

Thats why I didn't see him holding a clipboard the last couple weeks.

Panthers sign 43-year-old Testaverde to one-year deal
Associated Press


CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Vinny Testaverde isn't finished yet - even at age 43.
The Carolina Panthers, desperate for a backup quarterback with Jake Delhomme out for the season, signed Testaverde to a one-year deal on Wednesday.

Testaverde, the No. 1 overall pick by Tampa Bay in the 1987 draft, has played in 226 games with 208 starts with six teams. He was cut by New England before the start of the season.

Testaverde will provide insurance behind David Carr, who became the Panthers starting QB on Monday when the team announced Delhomme would have season-ending elbow surgery.

Delhomme was officially placed on injured reserve Wednesday to make room for Testaverde, who passed a physical Wednesday morning.

Carr himself is banged up. He suffered a back injury in Carolina's win over New Orleans on Sunday. Matt Moore, who played briefly Sunday when Carr was being treated, is the only other quarterback on the roster.

You want a ring, don't sign with Carolina :dry:

Leinart out for the season; Cards sign Rattay as backup to Warner
Associated Press


PHOENIX -- An already difficult second NFL season came to an end for Arizona's Matt Leinart on Tuesday when he was placed on injured reserve with a broken collarbone.

Kurt Warner, the 36-year-old quarterback who had shared duties with Leinart, moves into the starting job. The team signed Tim Rattay on Tuesday to be Warner's backup.

Kurt Warner will be the full-time starter now that Matt Leinart is out for the season. But Warner has been here before, as his Cinderella career launched when he replaced the injured Trent Green in St. Louis -- incidentally, the place where Leinart suffered his season-ending injury. Warner capped that storybook season with a Super Bowl victory. Arizona fans probably wouldn't mind a sequel.
Cardinals.com: Leinart placed on IR; Rattay signed Leinart, a left-hander, fractured his left collarbone when he was sacked by Will Witherspoon in the second quarter of the Cardinals' 34-31 victory over the Rams in St. Louis on Sunday. He sat on the sideline in the second half with his arm in a sling.

"We didn't want to rush him back," first-year coach Ken Whisenhunt said. "To hold a roster spot for that long is difficult, with some of the areas we are banged, with the hope he can get back in time. I am more concerned about him trying to rush back and maybe jeopardize his future."

The uncertain timetable was a major reason for calling an end to the young quarterback's season.

"Whenever you have a fracture there will be six weeks or however long it takes to heal," Whisenhunt said, "and then, especially because it is his throwing shoulder, you have to do the rehabilitation of it throwing the football. Who knows what it could have been? Could have been 8 weeks, could have been 12 weeks."

Leinart, the 10th overall pick in the 2006 draft, had been unhappy with the two-quarterback system employed by Whisenhunt. The former Heisman Trophy winner and two-time national champion at USC has started 16 games for Arizona, including the first five this season.

But Whisenhunt used Warner when the team went to a no-huddle offense that often has been effective.

Warner's statistics are better than Leinart's.

Warner has completed 62 percent of his passes (43-of-69) for 580 yards, with four touchdowns and one interception. Leinart has completed 54 percent (60-of-112) for 647 yards, with two touchdowns and four interceptions.

Warner, a former NFL and Super Bowl MVP, is in his 10th NFL season, the past three with the Cardinals. He started the first four games last season before losing the job to the then-rookie Leinart.

Rattay, an eight-year veteran, played in four games last year for Tampa Bay and completed 61 of 101 passes. He played for the San Francisco 49ers for six years before being traded to the Buccaneers.

"He has competed in this league and he has started in this league," Whisenhunt said. "That will help him pick up the offense. Just the way he understands the game -- you see it on tape -- that's why we were interested in him."

Arizona also signed guard Keydrick Vincent and released center Chukky Okobi.

Let me tell you something, and seriously hear me out now...there's something that's going on in Dallas these days that is beyond human comprehension, beyond reason, beyond logic.

Having that BAD of a game last night like they did (Romo was beyond horrible), and yet being able to STILL pull that game out in the last second, from having to do an on-side kick and even having to repeat a field goal....Man, what's happening with the cowboys this year isn't about Football anymore, nor even sports ...This is about....Destiny!

Yep, that's right...DESTINY!

It is the Cowboys destiny to win the Super bowl this year and NOTHING can stop it! Certainly no other team in the league, and not even themselves. This Journey is for the Cowboys to complete and for them alone! Last night's unprecedented win proved it!

So Bring on the New England Cheating Pats or the Indy Ponies, or any of the so call elite teams....it don't make a difference anymore, it's out of anyone hands now, it's now destiny!

They don't call them Cowboys GOD's Team for nothing!!!
