    Yeah the East is nuts right now. I know you're just freaking out Grimm, but honestly I don't see anyone outside the top 8 right now making up enough ground to overtake anyone. Race for Atlantic crown has been more consistently close all year, and you still have 3 teams all within two points...

    I'd think Murray is more likely to get hurt really. I guess there's always a chance Lynch goes to a shitty team and sees his numbers drop as a result, but I don't think it would drop that much. Obviously if they both missed half a season or something those numbers would make sense, but I think...

    Rice's decline had already started though. Grimm's post about a "magic number" of touches (carries and receptions) per year for RB's has been an idea that has floated around for a couple of years now. Whoever posted only 1500 yards and 10 TD's combined between Lynch and Murray next year is...

    Speaking of god mode...Braden Holtby hasn't allowed a goal in regulation for over 3 straight games. Stoic we're both breathing down Isles'/Pens' necks at this point.

    Except you know, for that one year when there was no cap, and the Skins had to take $18 million hit on their cap for two years and the Cowboys took $5 million hit for 2 years. But yes, usually, guys work their magic with deferred money and bonuses to make anything work.

    Unless of course...there IS no cap for a year. Then they can handicap your team for 2 seasons for spending too much when there was no cap.

    Damn you guys for getting me to watch this again. At least on an off night when nothing else is on. Based on what I've read in the thread still just seems like they're using it to try to get the Roman Reigns guy over with the fans. Or at least getting them to accept him as "the guy"

    I disagree on Williams, a big problem for him I think is he gets nagging injuries quite a bit that he'll gut through, but they affect his play. Dude is Pro Bowl caliber when healthy though. Kerrigan is someone you can build around, but even he isn't an ELITE pass rusher, just very good. He's...

    So on to the Draft...I really want the Skins to focus on the O line and get some good young guys in the next few drafts. Our D has so many holes though just don't have enough picks to realistically fill all (or even most) of the gaps.

    Edelman talked to the press after the game so if he underwent any testing it wasn't until well after. Doesn't really surprise me though. Was a story going around about Wilson playing a large part of NFC title game with a concussion too and that's why he looked so shitty until he shook the...

    They missed some stuff both ways, wasn't there a running into the kicker on Seattle that should have been the roughing for 15 and automatic 1st early in the game too?

    Not disputing it, I would have handed the ball off or had Wilson sneak it. Can throw on 3rd down and run it again on 4th if it came to that. Honestly I think Butler just deserves all the credit. 99 times out of 100 it's a TD or incomplete and it's never questioned. Butler made an incredible...

    I can see the thought process. 2nd down, only 1 timeout left. There was actually only like 26 seconds left I believe? If you run the ball on 2nd and get stuffed, you obviously burn your last timeout. You're probably sitting 3rd and goal with no timeouts and about 20-22 seconds left. At that...

    In some alternate reality Wilson hands off to Lynch, who fumbles and it's recovered by Butler. Everything stays pretty much the same except the only interviews in the Seattle locker room go "You all know what happened".

    Yes those Niner teams were pretty stacked talent wise, but part of the reason they did win so much also was because of the guys under center. Montana and Young were NOT like Trent Dilfer managing a game behind the 2000 Raven defense. I don't care who you had around you 11 TD's and 0 picks in 4...

    Sadly you have to admit there is something to this statement. Say Seattle hands the ball off and Lynch scores the winning TD...it would have been the 3rd straight Super Bowl for Brady handing a lead off to his defense with under 5 minutes to play only to watch them give up the game losing TD...

    Christ, Peters in net today for us against Blues. Ovechkin from his spot to tie it early. Might need a few more of those today. I love how no matter how much teams know it's coming, if Backstrom and Green move the puck that quickly they aren't going to stop his shot when it's that deadly.

    No, not really. I see his arm almost stay motionless just shielding his body, at most just pushing outward as force to protect against the incoming check. Any motion of it is due to Erhoff's contact, and not any action by Ovechkin. I think seeing any "pulling" is blind homer shit on your part...
