    nfl apps?

    Firstly, unsure if this is sideline or general topic... felt more general. Ive been content with nfl.coms app for years but the conversion to nflnow is horrible. I dont like apps that use unnecessary amounts of data, makes me wonder. Needs to know my location to watch video? Bullshit. Needs it for marketing algorithm and god knows what other kinds of info theyre privy too... anyways, i can always trust you guys for good nfl related advice. What nfl apps do you guys use? ty
  2. To be fair. .. he is the premier open field blocking TE in football... an underrated facet of team success from the TE position. Not saying id take him over some of the others... id say hes ideally best #2/3 TE in NFL. hell wind up with da bears... watch

    Impact Tackles among LBs

    I feel if they kept track of defensive contact wed get a better idea. Vs. Run vs. Pass vs. Gimmick vs. 3/4th down & anytime they made any contact with the ball carrier would give us a much better idea of lb effectiveness.

    Update: Marshawn Lynch to hold out of training camp

    Who Does Your Team Play Out of Position?

    Bush should be used less in the conventional running back role. Not entirely, just less... id always have him in motion. Hes one of those guys that forces defenses to tip their hand a bit. And thus far... very little pre snap motion from him.

    Update: Marshawn Lynch to hold out of training camp

    Everyone arguing in his favor is missing a key factor. Hes already being paid... i wouldnt consider him a top 5 back. Top 5 power or two down back... maybe... but hes already getting paid. He better learn to rush the passer if he wants a raise or hes gonna watch Michael and Robert make the twelfth man forget all about skittles . And Bc, he wants more money. Hes apparently concerned he will be injured this season. Hes on a high horse cause hes making a biopic. His egos all inflated. Unfortunately for him SEA is one of the best run organizations. Is already paying him and already has contingency plan ready...

    Lions Look to Pound the Rock

    Gets worse with volume? More like increase in volume is due to increase in desperation plays. Matt can and does make all the throws. Caldwell has to win me over. He made indi a worse team every year he was there. And his m.o. remains the same. Beef up whatever the prior coach was successful at to buy him a few more seasons to get lucky, and to hide his coaching shortcomings... i.e. lions pass for 5.5k yards a season... do we really need to beef up the passing game? Ebrons a douche who wasnt even in my top 100 players for the draft. A bad TE year inflated his stock... kid cant block and has no willingness to play in the trenches. Hes a fat WR. caldpoor (see what i did there...) really has to win me over... id have traded up for Mack or drafted Pryor with first rd. He lost me there... we'll see i guess... i can see why Schwarz had to go... but they should of ensured theyd be upgrading when they let him go. Anyways... det. has an underrated OL and can hopefully pound the rock better this year. Bells a stud... but im prepared for a lot of Bush league misdirection antics this season resulting in TOs. boo caldpoor

    Who is the best defender in the NFL?

    Titus Young arrested twice in 15 hours

    Fuck this kid. If he couldnt catch a football hed probably be dead. Hes squandered his gifts and more importantly, reached his goal in life of making the NFL. In my opinion you cant pity people for getting what they want, and then fucking it up. I feel bad for those who helped him get to where he was... you cant ask people to support you in a goal then support your dismantling of said goal... i wish hed stay out of the news, and i hope he stays out of the obituaties, and does something productive with his life.... and tbh he wasnt even that good. Little diva with flashes of talent, a good cut step and bad hands... i wish someone else drafted him...
  14. Schaubs better than espns memory... theres a reason, not too long ago he was deserving of his contract. Hope it works out for both sides.
  15. Youd think hed play it more... safely.

    F4E sad

    I think this is a better fit than you guys. He provides versatility and he still gets pressure. Maybe GB overpaid for his talents but in my eyes your guys front 7 just became a whole lot less one dimensional, and taller.

    Update: Ron Rivera wins Coach of the Year

    W/L in KC is a non factor they were a playoff caliber roster at 2-14 and tumultuous is an understatement in regard to their 12 campaign.

Edit, I thought about it but this is a good example of android bugs I mentioned in Fix forum.

    Update: Ron Rivera wins Coach of the Year

    Thanatos stop being a homer. Yes MORE with less. You wouldn't consider a double threat franchise QB "considerably less"? Sure you would. I read your posts on the topic and still disagree completely. I'll even go as far to say in an imaginary tangent land where they switched divisions AZ makes the playoffs and Arians becomes first back to back coty.

    Official TGP Pick 'Em Super Bowl Edition

    Interesting note. I won $640 from my work pool because nobody else ($5 pool, do the math) had SEA by more than 13. I predicted 30-17 SEA. Showed up to work Tuesday with a huge surprise waiting.

    Update: Ron Rivera wins Coach of the Year

    Both Arians and Rivera improved their 2012 win totals by 5. Arians did that with considerably less. And in an arguably tougher division. They beat SEA @ home as well. And with a no name running game and a former Raider/retiree at the helm. But the chips were stacked against a back to back coty campaign. Him not receiving any votes should back that bias. Terrible ballots, please keep your politics out of my football NFL. You have lost more credibility.

    Thoughts on the new Probowl?

    Lamarr deserved no grammies, but the grammies are just awful. Pay them no mind, popularity and marketability awards. I didn't watch the game but I'm glad sacks are back. I always found that aspect of it very backwards. Congrats on getting 20 sacks, welcome to the pro bowl, don't touch the QB.

    Mobile version of site is extremely buggy on android phones. Even with sigs disabled someone's .gif loads and freeze chrome browser. Love the site but hate the hassle of not being able to access it on the go.

    Arians got screwed. He did more with less.

    Russell Wilson's ascension to elite QB ranks

    Love him. Look me up saying he was a first round talent but second round value when he was ranked third to fifth because of height concerns. Which can be valid. He reminds me of playing Madden, rolling out for time all the time. Pocket jukes, like he sees it from overhead. He gets it. Bad game tonight. Very forgivable though.

    Jim Schwartz on hot seat?

    Sadface, were done. Schwartz has to go. Up with an easy schedule and competition injured, we went 1-5. An impressive 1 but overall a terrible stretch. I consider myself very forgiving of him he did do a lot for us. Dmac nailed it in this regard, bad coaching, we can do a lot better. The unfortunate thing is so far, and it's early but so far, I'm not too psyched on this years potential coaching pool.
