[quote=SFREDSKIN;856396]Like I said before the draft, we should have drafted him. I thought he would be second coming of Slinging Sammy Baugh (well at least the same school). Now I say we find a way to draft Barkley since Luck will be gone.[/quote]

As much as I like Jenkins, I would have happily forgone drafting him to take Dalton.

They could of kept trading down and bypassed Kerrigan and drafted Dalton and Jenkins. I must say, I do really like Kerrigan.

I think we needed Kerrigan and it was a good pick up. I dunno, maybe we trade our 2nd and a 4th or something to move up to get Dalton.

Re: Around the NFL week 9
 

well, since we're all feeling great today. Let me just add to it by reminding everyone that Jay Gruden is the new OC for the Bengals. And he likely would have been the OC here if Jon Gruden was our HC. (More nepotism!). That said...Jon Gruden was never a totally serious candidate for HC here.

Heck of a game there between the Steelers and Ravens.

Re: Around the NFL week 9
 

Great ending to the Steelers/Ravens game. Flaaco came up big time at the end. I thought he (fumble) and Smith (dropped TD pass) were going to be huge goats.

Yeah no kidding. Torrey Smith came up clutch at the end. If it wasn't for him people would be bitching about all the other Raven receivers that failed to come up when they needed them the most. Would've been the same story from last year's playoffs.

Loved the story about how Ray Lewis and Ed Reed went up to Torrey Smith at the end of training camp and told him he needed to forget the bad camp he had, and how the team was counting on him, etc.

It was only 21 points. Kerrigan scored the other 7.

Torrey Smith, Bolding, Flacco, and the Ravens Offensive Line had a great game-winning drive there. The Steelers were blitzing left and right and Flacco was protected for most of the time. Kudos to Flacco also for moving around in the pocket at times, also Boldin had some good catches.

Good question at the end of the game, who is the dominant AFC team? I really don't think the Ravens are, but I'm sure they will be in the mix.

Yeah the Ravens still haven't been consistent on a week to week basis, but I think the AFC is wide open at this point. The only team who has played consistently good football every week this season is the Packers. At the end of the season I expect the Ravens, Steelers, and Pats (unless it turns out that their defense is so awful even a top-notch Tom Brady couldn't bail them out, as was the case today) to be the top 3 teams in the AFC. Texans will probably take the South, as they should. I think I'll go with the Raiders to take the West, I don't trust the Chargers or the Chiefs, and even though I like the Bengals I don't see them getting past a team like the Pats or one of their AFC North foes.

Let me say again... "the [B]Rex Grossman-led Redskins[/B] scored 28."

What? They don't teach Giants fans how to read in Elementary school?

Besides, it was OBVIOUSLY a little sarcastic humor... Do you not know what sarcasm is as well??

Regardless... Sexy Rexy WAS, for a FACT, 21-for-34, for 305 yds, 2 TDs, and 0 INTs on that day... so I guess I really didn't need the sarcasm after all.

Re: Around the NFL week 9
 

How bout that Flacco? Ive seen a lot of people on this forum say hes not that good blah blah blah.He's no Aaron Rogers but he's a lot better then anything weve had in years.
And how bout those Bengals? I think theyve got to be the biggest surprise of the yr,where did they come from? And doing that with a rookie,we can only hope thats us next yr but this coaching staff has not given me much hope theyll make the right desicion

All jokes aside ...I have no idea who will win what .As I said before I just don't believe that you guys are that far away from turning it around.This divison is wide open...we have a tuff scheduale ahead and are bound to have our end of the year crash...just how bad remains to be seen.The Eagles seem to have gotten new life ...and the Cowboys...who the hell knows?

Re: Around the NFL week 9
 

^ no dude the skins have no chance lmao we won't win 7 games but NY will take it IMO, they can run the ball and get to the QB better than anyone in the division

Aside from an epic collapse (like last year) I see the Giants winning the NFCE. Out of the entire division, I think NYG is the only team that has beaten another good team (the Pats, the Bills). Although I think NYG and the Skins have the toughest schedule coming up.

Re: Around the NFL week 9
 

Albert Haynesworth is averaging a half tackle a game. Priceless. Sure, they're limiting his snaps, but if they're limiting his snaps, that means he isn't that valuable on the field.

And Belichick might have benched him.

BB has bigger problems than Haynesworth. And I don't know how this is priceless to Redskins fans, just a reminder of the terrible decisions we've made in the past. Glad you get enjoyment out of this.

You're should probably be more thankful that the Giants didn't get him. Although with the Giants' luck, he would have become the second coming of Reggie White.

Fat Albert tried to pin his woes on everything else but himself. This is vindication from that accusation.

Also, I hate everything Boston except for clam chowder.

As I said, I really dont see anything positive out of this. In the end he represents our bad decisions from the past and a wasted first year of the new regime. I hate NE but I am sure their fans and BB are not at all bothered by whatever the hell this guy does or doesnt do.

Besides, who in the world (other than him) would believe that he wasnt the problem?

Re: Around the NFL week 9
 

Looks like whatever spark we gave Philly may be gone. The Bears are keeping them on their toes.

Re: Around the NFL week 9
 

What's worse? Having to wait till next year to draft a future QB, or having paid $100 Million for QB who's pretty good and maybe if they are lucky take you to the playoffs and will be stuck with his contract for many years.

Pats fans more than likely believed he turned over a new leaf and expected him to be a steal. They were even making excuses for him with regards to the situation with the dude he paralyzed. A fine case of the fundemental attribution error at work.

BB doesn't show his cards to the public. But with his background in the Navy and under Parcells, AH's attempts to freelance will be, and has been, met with firm disciplining.

Cutler may be playing the best ball of his career. Guy was lights out last nite and is surrounded by receivers who are bad to average talent wise. Lions gonna have their hands full protecting that 2nd spot in the North.

I think he played well last nite and did a good job moving in the pocket. I think Cutler did a good job taking advantage of Philly's secondary.

Martz has done a phenomenal job. He's coached Forte to a top 5 talent at RB. The Oline is playing better too. If Chicago ever got some WR talent and added a stout player at tackle...look out. Cant believe they're effing around with Forte's contract...Jerry Angelo makes some highly questionable moves.

Re: Around the NFL week 9
 

^ I think forte is the best back in football

Re: Around the NFL week 9
 

The bears are the prime example of what a QB can do, they have very avg WRs, a horrible OL but with a good QB and RB you can make things happen.. QB people it's the most important part even more than OL IMO

Re: Around the NFL week 9
 

I'm not one to play shoulda coulda woulda, but man, imagine if we had managed to get Cutler a couple of years ago? A Shanahan/Cutler reunion here would have played out very well I believe.

Sigh.
