    What happens if they both miss the playoffs?

    2012 NFL Season

    If anything has been proven the last couple years...it's that teams will overpay for QB. Think what the Raiders actually traded for Carson Palmer? Hell even we (Skins) are guilty of it with Mcnabb. I'd rather keep the guy while he's cheap to be a reliable backup but if you're going to be a...

    It's just the thought process that if we could get a 2nd rounder for him would help us since we gave up so much to move up for RG3. I'm with your thinking though that we should keep him while he's cheap...even if I think the whole injury prone thing is a little early given he's missed 1 career...

    About the only positive I can see from Dallas winning this week...long as we take care of business too it virtually locks the Giants out of the division title (barring them winning their last 2 and us tying Dallas in 2 weeks).

    McCoy will return and start for Eagles against Skins. RG3 practiced fully and could be cleared to play as early as tomorrow as long as there are no setbacks. Crazy to think Giants could actually be eliminated from playoff contention this week if things go right.

    As a permanent backup who could fill in a few games, he had his moments. As a starter he was 50-74 for his career.

    True, but it's about the only thing they have in common with Johnson. Combined that entire group has 2 playoff victories, and not a one of them accounted for enough wins as a starter on their own to win a division title, while Johnson did it twice.

    I remember the Skins last division title...Brad Johnson threw for 4000 yards that year, 24 TD's 13 picks. Pretty solid numbers back then. Then Jeff George happened. No one ever would confuse Johnson with "elite" but he wasn't bad by any stretch either.

    All 3 have been tremendous. Obviously only 14 games into their careers but so far they are making a case to be included among the best QB classes ever. I know Luck or RG3 would love to have the defense that Wilson is blessed with. Wilson and RG3 would probably like to have had Luck's easy...

    Looks like the Rick Reilly article from earlier in the year. He has a super hard on for Luck. He does throw a higher percentage of shorter passes, but does a better job of leading receivers and the offense is designed to get a lot of YAC...a major reason we went after Garcon in free agency...

    Don't tell this to RG3 haters...who continue to cling to the idea that he throws more short passes. He leads the league in yards per attempt right now among qualified QB's.

    Still has 5 yards on Cundiff then

    He should call himself out for that throw in OT. Not the best route but he threw well behind his guy which helped the pick to happen. No idea if it was the certain plays that resulted in the asstastic protection they had called on the 2 consecutive sacks that killed them right after they had...

    Apparently the only other QB's to post multiple sub 1.0 QBR games over the past 5 seasons were Mark Sanchez and John Skelton. Flacco better go nuts in the playoffs or he might not get that extension offer.

    2012 NFL Season

    I just remember Reed throwing a tantrum on the sideline after Denver went up 24-3 on the long TD pass. Maybe he should have gotten mad at his QB, who posted the 2nd lowest QBR rating of the year at 0.4...not quite topping the lowest QBR this season, which was again Joe Flacco against Houston...

    Akers gets the 2 minute warning to think about it too? Would be Cundiff level choke.

    I'd take plenty of games like this to see the 7 titles you guys have had across the 4 major sports in the last what, 11 years?

    And in college is it not a spot foul but ONLY up to a max of 15 yards beyond the previous spot?
  29. Merrith

    2012 NFL Season

    It's going to be fucked either way. I can imagine plenty of scenarios when a guy is going to catch a 60 yard bomb for an easy TD where a defender would just trip him up on purpose knowing you'd rather take 15 yards than giving up the TD (or X amount of yards > 15)

    2012 NFL Season

    If there was some way to limit when it's a spot foul (because there are definitely times when I think it should be a spot foul when it breaks up an obvious catch that would be a big play in a game) that would be great, but anything you leave up to a judgement call is going to be fucked up plenty...

    Plenty of times if both defender and receiver are looking back for the ball and legs just get tangled there is no call, inadvertent contact.

    This would require us beating Philly next week (we better)...Minnesota losing at Houston (possible), Giants losing at Baltimore (possible but I don't think it'll happen), and Chicago losing at Arizona (no idea what to expect out of this game) if my math is right. While possible, I think most of...

    Of course their last 2 games are the Ravens who are in the midst of their own shitshow (well really just the fall to mediocrity we all knew was going to happen) and the Eagles who they should beat.

    Famm I heard a lot of friends today moaning about how much Flacco sucks and needs to go, but not about Harbaugh, why so down on him too?

    2012 NFL Season

    Yes, b/c even with a loss to the Saints they'd have a better record against common opponents (which is before conference record for tiebreakers within a division). But if we can't beat Dallas again we don't deserve to be in anyways...that's how you want to make the playoffs, by finishing off a...

    2012 NFL Season

    Crazy that it's possible but I don't see Seattle losing out and the Bears have Arizona and Detroit (although it is the Bears so who knows they could blow one of those games). Crazy scenario though if the 3 NFC East teams finish the way you stated and Dallas takes the division based on 1 game...

    He should be in the discussion, but I don't think he should be ROTY. Being a Skins homer I think RG3 should be the guy, but the reason beyond when they were drafted is Wilson took over a much better team than either RG3 or Luck did. Luck had the benefit of playing the 2nd easiest schedule in...
