NFL Offseason

BTW, that Vikings Saints NFC Championship game was pretty out of control. I remember watching it and thinking that something wasn't right.
 
Ummmmm... Why shouldn't Payton be suspended? Are you a Saints fan by the way?

Payton should have known what was going on with his franchise and upheld league rules.... He did know what was going on with his franchise but didn't uphold league rules... He actively placed bets as well (The NFL found an email of Payton asking to be put down for, "5 thousand for Aaron Roger's head.").... Then, he lied to the League and tried to cover up the whole incident....

Payton got exactly what he deserved.

No, I'm a Colts fan. I'm fine with Williams getting suspended for life. I don't even care too much about Payton being made an example of, though I've seen worse in the NFL and suspensions being less. It's the draft picks that bothers me.

Huge difference between a player getting pissed and having "a moment" and coaches and players participating in bounties. A complex system with incentives dependent upon the severity of the injury. You failing to see the difference here is dishonest.

I don't see much of a difference in the end result. Plus not all "moments" are created equal. Haynsworth tried to end a man's career with his moment.

Blind siding Kurt Warner when he has no chance to make a play? Come on folks, Warner couldn't tackle a chair. Yet, this guy (Warner had a bounty on him too. Wonder how much this guy was rewarded?) felt the need to blow him up after an interception.

Um yeah, pretty simple here, HOMER GLASSES.


This is a clean play. Warner was running towards the player with the ball. That makes him fair game. The Saints' player's head was in front of Warner's. If the QB is acting like he's going to try to make a play, he'd better have his head on a swivel. If he doesn't want to get hit, he needs to stay out of the play.

I'll give you the fact that the other two were dirty.
 
I'm shocked nobody commented on Demeco Ryans to the Eagles. That has got to be the coup of the off-season. I am not going to say the Eagles are going to do this or that because their division is tough and I'm not big on making predictions with them because hell, they've never really won anything and it's still the Pack's conference to lose imo even without going to Super Bowl last year. But the Eagles linebackers were their weak spot and they just went went from a D to an A- at MLB. And if we can have a good draft and get a really good upgrade at olb, our young safeties develop (they shouldn't regress) and we play with better chemistry, passion and hunger (I think we will), I like our chances to make some noise. This Saints situation obviously really helps them, and I think the Pack, as good as they are may be just as mediocre on defense this year but only time will tell.
 
Draft is a day and a half away.

BN's predictions:

Top 5: Luck, RG3, Kalil, Richardson, Claiborne.

round out the 10:

6 StL: Blackmon WR OKSt. The Rams will probably want to trade down or up but if they are stuck this is their guy.
7 Jax: Reiff LT Iowa These guys want to trade down bad. If no takers take the tackle.
8 Mia: Cox DT Miss St. Whoops bye Tanny. All hype no bite. He will slide at least to the 20s.
9 Car: Gilmore CB SC. Need. This pick could go a lot of ways. Ingram, Upshaw, Floyd or Brockers could look good for them.
10 Buf Kuechly LB BC. Total Buffalo pick. This guy screams awesome LB and will replace a very good one.

There is no way Miami goes DT. They just locked up Solia and have a few other capable guys in the DT rotation. The only way they pass on Tannehill is for a pass rushing DE like Couples, or if Blackmon somehow slides to them.
 
Just my two cents. There has been some talk of the Vikings trading out of the 3rd pick to take a Corner possibly with Miami or Tampa Bay's picks. I'm of the position that the Vikes take Kalil at #3 and be happy the have a cornerstone O-lineman to help Adrian Peterson's recovery and Christian Ponder's development.
 
Maybe I got Miami wrong. I really doubt they take Tannehil here though. If the Fins don't take him it looks like a big time slide, back to where he was 2 months ago and where he belongs.

IMO they would rather trade down there, as would the Jags. Doubt anybody trades up for the guys in their spots though. Minny is not going to take peanuts for that pick and nobody will overpay for a RB or Kalil. Claiborne is a possibility for a trade there. Really the obvious move is to just take the franchise LT. Can't blame them for trying to drum up a huge payday though.

I doubt Cleveland cares what Minny does. They will have either Claiborne or Richardson available, or both, and both are superb prospects. I prefer Trent.
 
Crazy trades in round 1.

Very happy that in all the madness the Steelers got the #1 guard that slid to them.

I will admit that I wanted Hightower and it kills me to see him go to the Patsies but we need help on the offensive line.
