    2013 NFL Offseason and Draft

    Problem is isn't Kruger asking for a lot of money? I heard something in the range of $9 million a year

    Edko I know McKinney has had weight issues, but you don't think you might want to bring him back after the reshuffle on the O line late in the year? Really made a difference in the pass protection for the playoffs giving Flacco all that time to be successful throwing the ball.

    Gold Rush

    I don't think Dave would be boring TV b/c he gets shit done. Aside from the funny drama at times the only thing you really care about watching is how much they get every cleanup...and Dave just moves dirt and finds gold. If they did a Dave v. Todd season (when they aren't working together...

    Was nice to see the Caps play a complete game for once. Holtby actually looked like he did last year in the playoffs again...picked up a primary assist on a great lead pass to catch Florida in a bad change. Liked the way our lines are starting to roll a little more too. We'd have a looooong...

    Gold Rush

    Not a soul should be shocked soon as Dave left, Todd goes back on the agreement he made with him to discuss opening a new lower cut in a week once he was back. I can't wait to see the plant break down now.

    Nice game Grimm...pretty sad when you guys don't even have to try in the 3rd and that's all we can manage. Wonder how long until we trade Ribiero to a contender.

    I miss when we used to win faceoffs so Ovechkin or Semin could just fire it. This is going to be a long season.

    that was a sick shot. Of course the penalty was a terrible call with Alzner turning around from a dead stop to chase the puck and Neal allowed to haul him down while climbing over him to somehow be interference on Alzner. Meanwhile Fehr gets manhandled chasing down a possible breakaway to no...

    "Retooling" bro. Had a discussion with some other Skins fans today, I had to kind of laugh at them thinking we were a lock to win 12 games next year. I don't believe I'm nuts in thinking we could regress to 8-8 or worse considering we won't be playing a last place schedule next year (hello...

    I'd love to watch Dave have a completely separate team. Honestly if you're an investor watching the show, who would you give money if they could get a claim with proven gold deposits? Dave.

    I don't know, feels like when we have a lot of possession it's all cycling and kept to the outside, which isn't terrible, but we just don't generate a lot of good chances that way. We looked pretty good in the 3rd, but have to wonder how much of that was related to you guys being up 2.

    Don't worry too much Meth, we always seem to find some legs when down 2, we'll probably push the rest of the way and give up a soft goal late to end it.

    More of the same from the Caps. Not getting great goaltending, look decent for stretches, then a ridiculously bad breakdown sprinkled in to give up goals.

    Every game the Ducks win makes me think they'll have playoff success and everyone here in DC will have to admit it wasn't Boudreau but the players the Caps are made up of that was the problem

    Yeah I don't understand the Kaeperbro hate. The pick was a horrible overthrow, but he made so many plays last night and literally was 5 yards away from MVP. Yes, MVP. Assuming he either throws it in or ran it in himself he would have went for over 300 yards, 3 total TD's, with the one pick...

    2013 NFL Playoffs

    Grabbing the facemask is a penalty, and I fail to see him being grabbed by the helmet, a guy has his legs tangled, and the defender goes in to make a tackle. Simply putting your head down to make a tackle is NOT spearing. Spearing would be a full on horizontal launch head first, and you just...

    Especially after getting it below the 2 minute warning...you'd think on 2nd down at least they'd spread them out and give Gore a chance to run it in...would either waste more clock to prevent leaving the Ravens time for a field goal to tie/win, or they'd have to burn a timeout.

    Helmet to helmet is perfectly legal on that play. James was neither a defenseless receiver nor the QB.

    I can buy into that "shouldn't have let it be that close", but sometimes it will be that close. I do think they were pretty consistent with letting them play all game, but I can also totally understand Niners fans being upset about 4th and goal last chance and having a non call in that...

    Listening to Dilfer explain that he thought the blackout changed momentum...only to go on and say that basically the Niners simply stopped shooting themselves in the foot was funny. The yardage was pretty close prior to the blackout, and the Niners actually led in time of possession. They stop...

    Which is why I noted that PI call in my post. I do think there was even more contact on the Culliver call to be honest. I think both in a vacuum are PI/holding. I'd be bitter too if it was my team that had to deal with that. At least they can know they did have 4 shots inside the 10. It...

    He has to share that title with most of the Colts secondary, Champ Bailey, and Rahim Moore then. I won't deny one bit that I've never seen a QB benefit more from DB's completely forgetting how to play pass defense when he throws balls up for grabs. His TD throw to Jones was actually a pretty...

    3 TD's and no picks? 66.6% completion %? No, I think Flacco deserved it. Jones' kick return was big, but Flacco threw the passes that he and Boldin caught all game. Even if I would have liked to have seen if Flacco could lead a game winning drive had they called that possible hold in the end...

    2013 NFL Playoffs

    2 schools of thought. #1 is calling each play on it's own, even given knowing they're going to let more go in a playoff game/Super Bowl (in theory)...#2 is looking at how the game as a whole was called and comparing it to that. As far as #1 goes, it was definitely at least holding. He had a...

    2012 NFL Season

    I think the 6 weeks into the season thing might be a good timetable (and by that I mean Griffin sitting out that long). There really shouldn't be any chances taken at all with this recovery time. Cousins is decent and can go out there and give us a chance to win a couple games.

    Nice game by you guys...we had a little pushback in the 3rd but score effects likely played a part in that. I can't stand how we run the PP. If you're going to run a 1-3-1, Ovechkin needs to be the guy in the slot. When Brouwer is there they never feed him b/c they telegraph they're always...
