We should replace the Pro Bowl. Make it the two worst teams(This year it would be Rams/Colts), and have them play for the 1st draft pick. We can call it the Toilet Bowl.
 
That's what I am counting on speaking as a DC native. And seeing all the stuff they are doing first hand.

Campbell IMO is a good QB better than average I would say. Hell I would even say he is better than Romo. Look at all the stuff Campbell has had to deal with his whole career. He put up with the craziness in DC and lead Oakland in his first year to it's first winning season in years and in his second year had this team playoff bound till he got hurt. Romo on the other hand has had almost an All_Star team each year and has choked each and every time.

He may be better than his stats imply but it is a stat driven league and he has been nothing but average. Teams aren't going to give up first round picks because he might be good. Campbell has played like a mediocre QB to this point and that is why he will either be a second stringer or traded.

LOL don't get me wrong I love Washington they are my second team after Oakland and I one day hope to see the Raiders vs Redskins for the Superbowl again but if I had to pick one over the other I will always go with Oakland and right now Washington is the only team I see that is dumb enough to take Palmer off our hands and almost over pay for him like we did.

You're being naive. Oakland did not trade a 1st and 2nd round pick only to turn around and trade him again. Palmer restructured his contract for Oakland and still has a few good years. He will be starting for Oakland next season. If anyone is getting the boot, it is Campbell.
 
Palmer sure is getting alot of flack. He came in mid-season and was rusty. He'll do work next season. The Broncos won't be winning the division again.

I second this motion, even though it would draw less viewers than the Pro Bowl does.
 
If there was one payer in football that I'd never want to be hit by...it was Ronnie Lott.

Dude was like a guided missile out there....he'd knock the snot out of people.
 
If he's available AND healthy, I hope he comes here for Washington.

If not we have to get Griffin, nobody else.....

Peyton Manning just tweeted that Rob Lowe is retiring.
 
The Giants beat the Packers because the Packers have been having Offensive Line issues ever since that Chiefs loss, and they're defense were bleeding points. I think they're defense got complacent that Aaron Rodgers would simply show up a drop a 40 point bomb on the other team, the same mistake the 14-2 Patriots made last year. Giants rely on that front four, and they don't have much (in my opinion) in the secondary, but if they can generate a good pass rush, which they can if your O-Line is spent, then you're in for a long day. If an offensive line can step up and clamp down on that front four, and eliminate the pass rush, then they're very beatable. They're secondary moves around the field a lot, but I always feel without the pass rush that they look lost. I think the movements of the safeties and corners are what the Giants hope offenses bite on so they don't notice the blitz packages. The Packers simply never were able to eliminate that pass rush, and neither were the Falcons. I feel like the 49ers started to figure this out though. They protected Alex Smith pretty well, and if that guy hadn't let that ball hit his leg that game could've been much different.
And it took a team that was good enough to capitalize on the openings tat Green Bay gave them, and turn it into a win.

And yes, Alex Smith was protected well in a lot of cases, but Williams didn't make them go 1 for 13 on third downs.

Giants have advanced because they played better enough to win against their competition and played up to their full potential. That potential may not quite be what other teams' potential is on paper or what have you...but it's won so far. They've earned their way to the SB just as much as anyone else would.

Unfortunately, if Lott were playing today, he'll probably be fined heavily by Roger Goodell on a weekly basis.
 
Irsay: Peyton keep comments in-house

What? Did Irsay really expect Peyton to keep quiet after he fired everyone he knew from the team, from GM to head coach? Peyton knew his days are numbered, anyway, so there's no incentive for him to keep pretending to be a good little trooper.

I believe it was because of him that the 'spear'/leading with the helmet ruling came into play. But yeah...anything from helmet-leading to 'defenseless' rulings and fines would probably be heaped on him each game.

I don't think I said they were a bad team. I picked the Patriots-Giants match up for the SB at work, and not many believed me.

I didn't say you did. But they did earn the win in that they were put in a position to let a play like that benefit them. Same would be said for the other team if it happened in reverse. There's a bit too much emphasis attributing Williams to the loss, when SF had plenty of opportunities not to let something like that decide the outcome.
 
Apparently the Dolphins are close to signing Kevin Coyle (Bengals DB Coach) as their new Defensive Coordinator.
 
Meh, I'm unimpressed. Then again, I don't think that anyone was expecting the Dolphins to put together a great staff.
 
Never will with Ireland there.
 
:lmao: at the Holmgren Puppet in Cleveland hiring Brad Childress as Offensive Coordinator.
 
Jack Del Rio is the new DC of the Broncos.
 
I often wonder what it's like for a former head coach to be 'demoted' again to a coordinator....especially if the head coach is 'new'. But as Peyton Manning says while dressed as a ref in a recent Papa John's commercial..."A man's gotta' work."
 
Matt Moore should start for the AFC and play the entire game...and before you all judge me for being insane here me out!!!!


No one takes the stupid Pro Bowl seriously. It's a waste time to watch, probably more so in person. So why not let it be a contest of back ups to play for reps?

Hype: :cmad: but I wanna see my fav players play!! Not Matt Moore.

ME: :awesome: You want to see your fav players jog down the field and only give maybe 60% effort? Cool.
 
No one wants to see Matt Moore when the other options are lightyears better than him.
