Oh Christ.....some people need to get a Fing life. If everyone on the team played well, they wouldn't have needed to go for two. Andrews is a very, very good TE and is beating himself up over a play that wouldn't have ensured a victory anyway. We don't need to pile on. S*** happens. The Rams could have beaten Philly except they made some horrific plays that resulted in turnovers, but no one is threatening those folks.congrats to detroit coaches for getting these jobs and recognition they deserve, but man, ouch for detroit to lose that strong group too
also, i hate to hear Andrews was getting death threats. i'm extremely sad about his drops, but he dropped what, 4 balls all season? coming off a season where he broke his leg?
let's not forget Lamar threw an interception and after his fumble, the bills scored a TD.
He's a very young "old".
Pete Carroll and Jim Harbaugh back in the same division again, I see.

If the Raiders can really do something about their front office, we'll be set.....
Carroll's real strength lies in his defensive expertise. He built a downright nasty defense in Seattle. They have a lot of draft capital and I'm keeping a close eye on the possibilities. The Raiders really weren't terrible on both sides of the ball, but they need is some shoring up just about everywhere. Maybe we can find one of those QBs in the 2nd or 3rd round that becomes a solid starter. They lucked out with Russell Wilson so who knows. Where they are positioned now, I think you look for edge, tackle, DB, WR, and, of course, QB......hey I DID say shoring up everywhere. Some of this can be fixed in FA and I tend to like O line and interior D line because they can be signed to reasonable contracts. Get Crosby some help on the edge (Carter if he's there....which I kind of doubt) and it helps everywhere. I think a ninja wideout is a big need. The passing game could be pretty deadly with one more weapon; if you've got a QB that can get the ball to them.Oh yeah, he doesn't really look or act like a 70 year old man. He's got more energy than most people in their 50s-60s haha!
I think Brady has made solid decisions for the Raiders already. Spytek as GM, Carroll as HC. Need to get a youngish OC to maybe learn under Carroll to take his spot.
I'd much, MUCH prefer Fields, but I don't think the Steelers let him go. He is pretty reasonablly priced as QBs go ($25M). "Maybe" the Steelers trade him? Wilson just has a limit on him (and I don't like him LOL). He can't make the team better anymore. Fields has much more upside.I can see it as a possibility. Not a fan of it, but it is what it is. I'd like to see them bring a younger QB in. I could see Justin Fields too... Maybe whichever QB the Steelers let go of? Haha.

You watch.....the Pats are going to make a big jump this year. They need to fix that O line and have the cap space to do it. They need to go after some established linemen and protect their star-in-the-making QB. If they can pick up a couple of pieces, I think their line will improve dramatically. If Carter is available at #4, I jump all over him. I know you don't want Hunter, but I think they go with him or Carter....one of them is going to be there.Some coaching hire thoughts:
Cowboys - typical Jerry being cheap. That team will always be all talk no bite as long as he owns the team. Just doesn't care enough about winning.
Raiders - Pete being there is shockingly weird, but kinda cool. What a division for coaches. Fascinated by that whole thing.
Jags - What a bizarre situation that is
Bears - Good hire. What I wanted. I hope Johnson does well.
Patriots - I like Vrable a lot, but not sure I want him for my team. I wanted an offensive guy to really move the team/organization forward. Especially since they're bringing Josh back. It's just a better variation of what they did last year. Krafts too worried about being comfortable instead of trying to be forward thinking. The interview process was a joke and they should be embarrassed by the whole thing. Regardless, I just hope it means that their floor is higher than their ceiling was this year. I can't do another sub-5 win year. This team needs to win at least 8 games next season with their easy schedule.
