what do they call the defenders who guard the receivers? ... could hayne do that? .... I know its not a glamorous offensive role, but its a gig

That's sort of the slot receiver/running back role. Some blocking, mainly for the QB, some running - although this usually means pounding it up like a second rower, and some receiving - the slot being between the line (think ruck) and the wide receivers. A very technical & physical role.

Who's your QB though, Ron? EJ was dropped for Orton (who has now retired again), do you place all your hopes on EJ to come good or do you try and get a QB in the draft and probably have to trade up for one?

Nope, we will be picking up a free agent qb this offseason, could even be a cutler.

I don't think he has the accuracy to be a legit qb in the league

Didn't use the beer app mr squint. Beers were over $10 each and they refused to sell past the 3rd quarter. The only 2 downers from going.

Aren't you supposed to get shitfaced tailgating before the game though? So you really only need a couple of beers during the game. :D

Yeah, u hear so many stories like this guy who floats around the nfl and comes good on a late chance. That's why hayne has a slight chance of success. I think only new eng or Ravens can stop Seattle.

Green Bay can stop Seattle.
I don't think the Ravens could beat them. Flacco would have to have another game like he had in the 2013 Superbowl to do so.

I think defence is a bridge too far for any player new to NFL.

Some very good league players have struggled with defence in union, let alone NFL.

Is Carolina the worst team to win a Playoff game?

Their defence was solid. Although they may have gotten away with more than they could normally expect to.

Mistakes by the offence and special teams - they are toast next week.

Dallas I think look good, and can see them in champ game, however gb and Seattle I feel are by far and away a step ahead of everyone in the NFC ATM


I am rooting for the pats and a Brady sb win, and a Denver and a Peyton broken leg - the evil one :)

Tom Brady is god, I would go gay for him, inspirational.

Mannings are stupid dicks

Looks wise Brady is quite sexy.Manning looks like he is a bit imbred. Phil Rivers aint bad looking too.

Pats haven't won nothing since cheated thou....:D
