I don’t forget a thing. I was at that game.

I also remember a weak O-Line that couldn’t protect my QB or help my RBs and a secondary that was filled with washed up players like Antoine Cason, Charles Godfrey, and Thomas DeCoud. Once we swapped them out for younger guys like Boston and Benwikere we took leaps forward.

I listen to Philly talk radio every day. The hype for your team by some of these guys is out of hand. There’s no continuity on your team, secondary lacks depth, WRs are unproven though the rookie looks nice, O Line is suspect, and your new starting QB has played 2 full seasons in 5 years and is a giant question mark.

You guys have a ton of upside, but there’s a ton of variables. I see 10 wins. 
Exactly; the team that took the field that night was completely different from the one that ended the season.
We'll see Oct 25th.  Can't say you two are wrong, but I just don't see it.  Lot of question marks on our side, but the starting oline is solid, the secondary is new, but how much worse can they really be from last year?  As long as we don't turn the ball over, I believe we'll be fine.
 
It should be a good one for sure. Hopefully our knack for Sunday Night Football letdowns are behind us :lol:

“You’re fining players more than you’re fining organizations?” Sherman told USA TODAY Sports, comparing the team discipline to the roughly $2 million in lost salary Brady currently faces due to a four-game suspension.

“That should bring up some red flags. But nobody’s talking about that.”

[...]

“Last year, Jim Irsay got fined what, 500 grand?” Sherman said, referring to the Indianapolis Colts owner, who was suspended for six games and fined $500,000 as discipline for his misdemeanor DUI case.

“Owners can only be fined so much. There’s a cap. And Brady gets fined (roughly $2 million). Whether the crimes are the same or not, a suspension is a suspension, a fine is a fine. Game checks.”

At the end of the day, it’s going to have minimal impact on the season, minimal impact on the rules,” Sherman contended. “So it’s just a minor annoyance, really.”

Ex-NFL QB Erik Kramer Wounded in Apparent Suicide Attempt
Ex-NFL quarterback Erik Kramer shot himself Tuesday night in a suicide attempt, but survived, law enforcement sources and his former wife said.

Los Angeles County sheriff's deputies were called to a motel in Calabasas at around 8 p.m. for a welfare check, sources told NBC News. When deputies arrived they found Kramer with a gunshot wound that was described as not life-threatening, a source said.

Kramer's former wife, Marshawn Kramer, told NBC News Wednesday night that it was a suicide attempt, and said Kramer suffered years of depression that she believes was the result of his time in the NFL.

"He is a very amazing man, a beautiful soul, but he has suffered depression since he was with the Bears," Marshawn Kramer said in a telephone interview. "I can promise you he is not the same man I married."


Kramer, 50, helped lead the Detroit Lions to a 12-4 record and an NFC Championship game appearance in the 1991 season. He later joined the Chicago Bears, where he spent five seasons and threw for 29 touchdowns during the 1995 season, according to NFL statistics. Kramer ended his career with the San Diego Chargers in 1999.

Marshawn Kramer said Erik Kramer's sister told her the injury is more serious than law enforcement sources said, and could be life threatening. The sister, Kelly Kramer, was travelling to California from her home in Las Vegas Wednesday, she said. A number was left but a call had not been returned Wednesday night.

The suicide attempt comes amid fierce debate over the possible lasting mental health effects of NFL careers in which players endure hard hits to the head. Former NFL stars Junior Seau and Dave Duerson were posthumously diagnosed with the brain condition chronic traumatic encephalopathy after they committed suicide.


The NFL and the NFL Players Association did not immediately return emails seeking comment.

Marshawn and Erik Kramer officially divorced in 2010, after years of problems caused by Erik's depression, she said. "I know Erik and I would still be together if not for his football injury," she said. It was an amicable split, she said, and they live in the same California city, not far from each other.

In 2011, their son, Griffen, then a Thousand Oaks High School quarterback, died from a drug overdose.

The couple has another son, 17-year-old Dillon. Marshawn Kramer said Erik Kramer is a wonderful father who adored his son.

"He's such a good dad and he would not do this to his son," she said. "This is brain injury."

I wish something could be done. Sad stuff.
Damn

Randy was catching deflated balls and using spy tapes to gain an advantage.

And Jerry was using stickum.

I guess it defaults to Terrell Owens or Cris Carter as the GOAT
 
Tom Brady *

You'd be the goat too if you were throwing deflated ducks and filming opponents

Couldn't agree more

I have meetings for a few hours and the Brady Brigade thinks they can come into my thread and start slurping? Oh hell no.

I wonder what a conversation between Gronk and Cushing would be like. They'd probably just head-butt each other til one bleeds to death
 
What spy tapes are you talking about my dude?? This is 2007...after spygate broke :lol:
