I have mixed feelings about Goodell. Sometimes I think he's overreacting and sometimes I think he's doing what he can to send a message. It's such a complicated situation. Players and fans are upset about the suspensions related to hits and the Saints situation, but he has to do those things when you have situations like this:
Quote:
The same players who complain about the game changing are the ones who will join up in one of these lawsuits and say the league didn't do enough to protect them. If he lets anyone involved in that off with a slap on the wrist, that's more fuel for their case. I agree that Goodell cares more about the league's bottom line than he does about player safety, but isn't it his job to protect the league from billion dollar class action lawsuits? Companies have quality control inspectors so they don't get sued, not because they care so much about the consumer. Don't today's current players realize that if the league is successfully sued, it could affect them financially and in terms of how they are able to play the game? If fans hate the current rules, what do you think is going to happen if the league is found negligent in Federal Court? The jackass politicians in Washington would be all about regulating the sport and the result would be a lot worse in my humble opinion. |

I truly hope kickoffs aren't removed from the game. It would drastically change the landscape of the NFL and I don't think in a good way.
The sheer hypocrisy of the commissioner's office and the implementation of policies to "protect player safety" is bogus. The only thing that they're trying to protect is the bottom line. |

I remember on ESPN one coach recommended replacing kickoffs with punts and treating it like a 4th & 10 play on the 20yd line. If you want to do an onside kick, you try and make a 1st down. I could see that, but football without kickoffs just seems so weird. What would they call Kickoff Weekend?

Goddell is a pussymoronasshole weekend.
Protect the millionaires who pissed their money away, now they wanna fake the jitters and sue the NFL so we've pussified the game weekend Basketball hasn't started yet, baseball is winding down and hockey isn't American, so watch us weekend. Or, Benoit weekend, cuz you know, they don't even mention his name in the wwe, and knockouts have killed way more people. Last edited by Krimzon7; 04-17-2012 at 02:16 PM. |

NFL schedule is being released at 7 PM on the NFL Network. What other sport could make an entire show about the release of their schedule?

ESPN leaked the standings for strength of schedule earlier.
Giants have toughest overall with Denver at #2 toughest while New England has the easiest and Green Bay at 2nd easiest. http://espn.go.com/blog/nflnation/po...th-of-schedule Majority of the 2011 playoff teams are in the middle to bottom half for schedule strength this year (only Baltimore and Denver are in the top 10 for toughest). |

The Giants' schedule is heavily backloaded for the 4th year in a row. Color me shocked.

Manning will probably be retired before the Broncos Come to Baltimore week 15.
Also can't believe of all the good games that the Ravens have, 3 of the 4 prime time games they have are front loaded into the first 4 weeks: Week 1 MNF vs Cincy Week 3 SNF vs New England Week 4 Thursday Night vs Cleveland also gonna be a bitch to have a late Sunday game vs the Patriots and turn around and play a Thursday night game..at least both are home games. they also play both Texas teams in back to back weeks 6/7 before their bye week. |

The Ravens schedule is pretty balanced all the way through. Its also the 4th toughest so that makes sense.
vs Cincinnati @ Philadelphia vs New England vs Cleveland @ Kansas City vs Dallas @ Houston BYE @ Cleveland vs Oakland @ Pittsburgh @ San Diego vs Pittsburgh @ Washington vs Denver vs New York @ Cincinnati |

The more I see it, it wasn't THAT terrible. The defender got his hand in just the right spot. It happens. When I first saw it for some reason I thought he flat out dropped it.

He was a pretty great receiver in Buffalo in a shitty situation. Last year he got inured and lost in the shuffle. Don't know if he is still what he used to be since he kinda fell off the map.

I like Lee Evans. Very good, in my opinion. Would still like to have him.
And that play in the AFC title game was an excellent job by Sterling Moore, not a drop by Evans. |

God, poor Lee Evans. He's had to play in offenses with Kelly Holcomb, JP Losman, Trent Edwards, Ryan Fitzpatrick, and Joe Flacco. And now he's playing with Blaine Gabbert.
This guy is just a magnet for shitty QBs. |

Don't forget Chad Henne. I don't see Gabbert playing the whole season to be honest.

![]() SCHEDULE ANALYSIS
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() In order to be more realistic (or pessimistic), the Dallas Cowboys will get cocky and start circle jerking after a nice 9-2 or 8-3 start and start shitting down their leg like a kitten with a broken neck at home and Philly will possibly screw them out of the NFC East Title. The Dallas Cowboys will make the playoffs and either get embarrassed or play up to their fucking talent and make a chase for the Super Bowl. I believe in America's Team and I believe we have the talent* to win the Super Bowl. *"talent" assumes we finally fill those DB and OL issues we've had for a few fucking years.
