no disrespect El...but we have seen the FA show for the last decade in ole DC and the early returns are not favorable.
Maybe, but he's been throwing dirt balls for 11 years now. You really didn't expect that to stop, did you? Still, he's leagues better then what we've had since Ripien in his prime. TWENTY YEARS AGO. He's the least of our worries. I'll take it. For now.

Hey Folks:
Here is my concern - Although we are 3-3, has anyone taken a look at this 3-3 record? We are 1-3 outside the division. Let me repeat 1-3. We either start winning games outside the division or the 2-0 division wins don't mean squat.
Poor example. Other teams in the NFL have found a balance between, draft, trades and FA that works. Unless you have built up a bevy of draft picks, there is no way to build with only 7 picks a year. I agree it can't be all FA, but you have to see it can't be all draft picks either. There has to be a balance.
In no particular order based on if the playoffs started next week. Eagles,Rams, Falcons
and Chicago. With NYG,Skins, Bucs, Seattle, Gb and Dallas all vying for the last 2 spots.
There are way too many variables to factor in at this point of the season.
Poor example!!!
What system do you think they are deploying this and the next several years? Do you htink it is the right one? Are they succeeding?
Yes, it is a poor example because we are talking about a cash happy owner with a buffoon for a VP/GM or whatever you want to call Cerrato. Also, I say our scouting department has done a poor job over the years. Now that is based on my limited understanding of what they do. I will admit, I have a limited understanding.
As for a plan, I am not sure how to strike a balance between FA, Draft and undrafted FA. If I were Allen, I would go after DeCosta if I could pry him away from Baltimore. I like Allen, I like Shanahan, after initial misgivings. But we need someone in place with some consistency in player acquisition.
In Baltimore, they have done a great job of balance among trades, draft and FA.
Four division leaders - Giants, Chicago, Atlanta, and either Arizona or Seattle
Two wildcards - Philadelphia and New Orleans.
3-3 doesn't cut it. Not sure how Dallas at 1-4 makes your list.
Guys, it was the COlts. You know, Payton Friggin Manning? The guy that's been shredding the league to what, 12 seasons? The guy that can run hisoffense asleep. I was shocked we didn't get whomped

We'll see. So far he's had to run for his life most of the season, since Rabach has been getting blown away again this year.
It could be worse. If this were last years gang, I doubt we would have still been fighting at the end of the Dal ass game or the Green Bay game.
And yes, losses suck, butagain, it was the Colts, and we're not in that league yet. But the sounds coming out of hte locker room make it at least seem like these guys give a **** if they lose
Overall, I'm pretty happy we held up against them. Last year it would have been ****ing ugly
Fansince, just out of curiosity, is there a team philosophy in the NFL over the past 10-20 years that you would champion?

I blame a lot of the defensive problems on Haslett and this goofy scheme they're running. I have so many criticisms and questions but one that sticks out right now is WTF with the D linemen and their bouncing back and forth (Jarmon was doing it a ton)? Was that supposed to confuse or amuse Manning?

Illegally filming warm-ups and walk-throughs to have an unfair advantage against your opponents? And here I thought you were a morally scrupulous fellow, fansince!
I take it you missed this thread:
