Around the NFL

[Skins-R-Us]

Noticed a horrific day of kicking other than Gano's game winner. Also saw lots of questionable playcalling, most noticeable with the Texans last night. That play right before the half looked like a Gruden-esque botch. Also not sure why teams like sweeps when its 4th and inches. HATE that call, but looks awesome when it works haha

EDIT : looks like the Giants are going to trade or cut OL Ereck Flowers. He has been a bust, soooo glad we got Scherff before they did. I might throw a conditional 7th at best, and see if we can groom him at G. I do like the potential upside of our young guys Parris/Durant...but Flowers has really good size, he just isn't an NFL OT.

Double EDIT : Giants will release OT Ereck Flowers if he is not traded by 4 p.m. Tuesday, per source. I think I would wait until he is cut. He isn't that good, but a switch to G might be worth a shot from his perspective.

With our depth that would be a no brainer to see if we could milk something out of him.

Funny, I saw this right after I mentioned his official release in the game thread from last night. I agree, but I have been souring on Callahan recently.

The Chad Kelly story was pretty bizarre. For the last month or so, a lot of Broncos fans have been wanting to see him get playing time. But now he is gone because (*I guess*) he got wasted, confused, and somehow wandered into the wrong house. I personally feel kind of bad for the guy, and I was surprised the Broncos cut him so abruptly as he was the backup. I wonder if he'll get picked up by another team, or if this will be the end of the road for him.

Yeah, strange story...but I do recall that character issue was one of the worries about him during the draft. Having said that, he was one of the few qbs on my list that I would have taken early Day 3 that year. Lots of talent and fiery, just needed to be mentored I think. I would have no problem having him on our PS though, assuming he doesn't lose his chance to ever play..which he shouldn't.

Hard to say if Kelly is just an entitled hot-head, a kid with a partying problem or if he's taken a few too many shots to the coconut...or maybe a little of all three. He's got talent for sure and maybe this will be a moment of clarity for him, but his history certainly suggests that he's likely to cross some line again. I'd be fine with them talking to him and seeing where his head is at. As Farmer Ted mentioned, there was some chatter about him getting time in light of Keenum's erratic play. Coincidentally enough, Hogan is now their back up.

It really, really sucks that Sean McVay is in L.A. and not D.C.

Sucks for us, not for him. He's living the life. A talented team in a huge market. Dating models and partying like a rock star.

[Farmer Ted]

You didn't have to rub it in, lol.

[Skins-R-Us]

Both defensive coordinators should be fired this morning for last nights game. That was a disgrace.

[Farmer Ted]

I was glad to see the Saints screwed by the non PI call at the end of the nfc championship game. They get a ton of home cooking in the Dome on defense, it's about time they got hosed on a call.

I do think it's hilarious there are news articles about the possibility of Goodell reversing the non call and starting the game over with the penalty. Weird, but when the Skins lost to Houston due to a worse non call on a PI (which the NFL admitted to), I don't recall any discussion of fixing that game.

[Farmer Ted]

Lol at Robert Kraft going to a strip mall brothel.

So far this season, it's looking like Brady>Belichik. McDaniels should have take a HC job before Brady walked out

I agree with you, but Tom Brady is also looking good because Tampa is making moves to really make a push. They really have all the weapons to do something special. Brady is a big part but he is not the only reason. I think Patriots are in deep doo doo.

agree with you on both teams

The Broncos game is going to be fun to watch today, lol.

cant wait, I almost ran to the casino to bet the game haha. I saw that they tried to get approved to have their coach be the qb...maybe Elway is out of shape

Haha, I really hope they bust out the Wishbone.

[VegasSkinsFan]

I loved the old Oklahoma wishbone. I think Army might be the only school still running it ? I believe that the Broncos will have one of their Wrs be the qb today since he played qb in college at one point.

Yeah, the Wishbone is my favorite college offense. I think Air Force was running it a few years ago, too. And the Donkeys should definitely go to it now. They are getting abused, lol.

[RI Skins fan]

Wacky Wednesday gives us the Ravens and Steelers game with RGIII at QB

[Farmer Ted]

Brady in N.E. is pretty much the game of the year, imo. I really hope the Bucs teabag the Pats tonight.

You got your wish!

In the flavor of coach Denny Green and Herm Edwards, Mike Tomlinson responded to a question about being connected to a college coaching position at USC. His response was no nonsense.

WR Henry Ruggs III is in a bit of trouble following a car crash ... https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/raid ... i-charges/

no matter what, you can't fix stupid - hopefully, he pays a really heavy price - society needs to be protected from people like this

[Farmer Ted]

Jason Garrett just got canned by the Giants. I wonder if Judge survives. I guess of the turn it around he will, but if they end up 4th in the East he may be a goner.

IMO - Garrett will have an easier road getting another coaching job - Joe Judge has not done well

[Farmer Ted]

I hope this game in Buffalo is Belichick's 63-7 swan song.

[Moe]

^^ He's coming back next year, but NE looks to be sitting 2nd at best, and maybe 3rd if Miami makes some smart moves, in their division.

[Farmer Ted]

The Niners are going to be tough to beat next week, no matter who wins tomorrow. That was one hell of a win over GB.

And there's a legit chance that Cincinnati and SF meet in the Super Bowl for the third time.

[Farmer Ted]

This has to be the best weekend of playoff football ever. These games have been insane.

Edit: the NFL just can't get playoff overtime rules right. It sucks only seeing one team get the ball.
