nfl offseason transactions, fired coaches, general nonsense 2012

:D

RIP chucky & jaws' monday night football school

:,(

and yes, the only thing that would make this OK is bringing in rodney harrison

why do they always try to ruin everything for us

SI.com also reported Wednesday that Manning wanted to try to play in the Colts' home finale against the Houston Texans in Week 16, even going through a scripted 30-play practice in the week before Indianapolis' Week 15 game against the Tennessee Titans. Then-team president Bill Polian, former coach Jim Caldwell and ex-offensive coordinator Clyde Christensen were at the practice.

Manning had hopes to at least play in red zone situations, where his weakened arm strength wouldn't be a hindrance.

Sources who were at the practice told SI.com that Manning's passes to running back Joseph Addai and practice-squad receivers were accurate at the practice session but that he couldn't throw anything longer than 22 yards. His passes also sometimes wobbled, according to the sources, who estimated that his velocity on the passes was around 80 percent of his normal throwing speed.

The practice session was moot, however, as team physician Hank Feuer wouldn't clear Manning to return to action.

"He wanted to go on the field and try to dump red-zone passes against Houston,'' a league source told SI.com. "Even though his neck muscles hadn't even been strengthened yet. Can you imagine anyone putting him on the field in that situation? Just to throw a string of red-zone passes? But that's where things were going at that time, and it kind of speaks to the insanity of the situation.''

that is unreal huh

hahah

So weird that basically no one thinks he's not playing.

it's a conspiracy mayne

This is my first offseason with access to NFL Network on a regular basis (cable in FL didn't carry it). I watched about six hours of TOP 10 shows this afternoon. So much Favre!

Were you subdued into buying Wranglers & havin' fun?

The last time I owned a pair of Wranglers was in 7th grade, but I was havin' fun fo sho.

:D

ben roffles and todd_haley.gif will be so entertaining

"He still hasn't called yet," Roethlisberger said with a discouraged tone Monday.

this should prob go in the skins thread but i want everyone to see it

this is what laron landry look like now

wut

truly that cannot be healthy

he looks like he's moments away from exploding

laron landry would def be in the top 10% of nfl players i would expect to spontaneously combust into a smoking pile of muscle and creatine

maybe you could just pull on one of his arms like Stretch Armstrong and that weird red plastic jello goop comes out

by which i presume you mean blaine gabbert

lol

Iggles have signed Trent Edwards as a backup QB. Vince Young RIP.

finally

combine weekend is my fav time of year

I noticed something cross the NFLN ticker once this weekend, but only once. I hope someone at the network was just being a wiseguy.

Jeff Fisher may be entertaining the idea of bringing in Albert Haynesworth.

to clean the arena?

to eat the rest of his giant hoagie

If Peyton can play, dropping him and Reggie Wayne into another location might be a cool thing to see.

damn i so want them with the titans

I'd love to see them in SF, but I think Alex Smith did enough in the one playoff game vs. the Saints to keep him a starter for another season.

I think Alex Smith is fine, they need some real wide recievers bad in SF. They are terrible.

75% peytey with hasslebeck backing up and locker learning
kenny britt and reggie wayne with chris johnson completely rested and paid
seriously, this would do fine as a birthday present if anyone could make it happen

we'll get right on it

ILNFL, TO THE BATMOBILE

what is it with forks and the tightans

I'm from Tn, dude

I only lived in Nashville for 4 years (during McNair's up years and down years) but I've got a little love for them too.

ugh bill polian is joining espn

Was your cable out for the Giants game?

The one the 49ers would've won if Kyle Williams could catch a punt?

The one where he had 196 yards, 2td 0int despite his receivers being unable to separate from coverage or catch the ball?

The one against the Super Bowl champs? His first NFC championship game? That one?

xp Yeah, I saw that one. It was a close loss, and none of it was Alex Smith's fault.

Also, what polyphonic just said.

The one where Alex Smith bears just as much blame as Williams. He sucked in that game. If they hadnt gone three and out countless times at the end of the game they would have won. You guys obviously dont watch the games.

And if I remember correctly they had decent field position in OT and Smith went three and out. He sucked.

bill, his receivers were horrible in that game!

bill magill stop being a retard for one second

Fuck you both

1-13 on third down is good quarterbacking, i stand corrected. well done

On that very same day Tom Brady threw for 239 yards with 0 TDs and 2 INTs. Clearly time for the Patriots to get a new QB, right?!
