"Sometimes, you're on the field, you get tired," he said. "If I'm not playing as hard on play 66 as I was on play No. 1, then ... come on."

gets you...

Peppers has the potential to make close to $110 million in the seven-year period between 2009 and 2016.

Well. he better be eating his Wheaties because Cutler will give him a lot of playing time.

lulz. poor cutler. i had such high hopes for him. and they said the heat in denver made him sick from time to time... i think he just sucks unless he has a pro bowl caliber receiver (ie. brandon marshall) to bail him out half the time. i mean, you guys saw what kyle orton, of all quarterbacks, did with brandon marshall catching his passes... almost made the freakin' playoffs.

I would say there is a 80% chance that Lovie Smith is gone next year. He has spent way too much money in two years to not make it deep into the playoffs. The sad part is the Vikes and the Packers are still better.

And yet the Broncos might not even be able to get a 1st for him. If I was our FO I would be offering next years 1st or our 2nd for him. On the field I don't think there is a better receiver in the league (you could argue Fitz). If he can stay out of trouble he would take our offense from what you saw at the end of the season to the Patriots of 07.

I know you'll think I'm crazy but look how good we played even without Smith or Dwill and we didn't have 2 all-pro T. Scary good with a balanced receiving corp. Kind of like the same kind of supercharging we got when we added Otah and Stewart in 08. Marshall IMO is worth the risk for what he could do for this season.

Fwiw, I think most players take plays off. Some players, like wide receivers for example can get away with it easier than a defensive end can.

I think most players take a play or two "off" but Peppers takes games off.

Not a Peppers hater, it's just a fact about him... it's the double-edged sword of his greatness.

The difference between Pepp and "most players" is how evident was it? If the fans see it consistently, it's a problem.

      Greg Cosell on Bryce Young

      By The Question · Posted

      You making fun of or not realizing how important that actually is leads me to believe you don’t have either of those assets and are subconsciously upset about it, or you’ve never been in a position to be a leader and thus you don’t value good leadership which Bryce oozes with.

      I said this last night to family. You can look at Bryce as not a “strong and physical” presence and that’s not going to change on you can look at it, that this guy has the type of skillset that sets him up to only get better for the next 5-7 years every year. He’s not going to know less about the game next year than this year. His timing will be better, his pocket presence better (even though the guy works around a pocket amazingly in my opinion), everything is just going to improve every year and I believed he’s already proved the doubters wrong other than nut huggers on here who just want a big strong man to drool over.

      Are the Panthers a "Trap Game" for the Hawks?

      By MHS831 · Posted

      The Seahawks won an emotional, divisional, overtime rivalry game vs the Rams on a Thursday night (Dec 18).  That gives them 10 days to prepare for the Panthers, but the Christmas holiday fell a week later--I bet they were afforded an extra day for travel-many coming back east.  Following the Panthers, Seattle plays at San Francisco for the division title (in all probability).   The Rams finish the season with games against the Falcons and Cardinals, two likely wins, pushing them to 13-4.  The Niners finish the season with home games against the Bears and Seahawks. Seattle finishes the season with the Panthers on the road and SF in California.   It is easy to see how preparing for the Panthers, during the holiday break and with the Niners waiting for them in SF a week later for (what could be) the NFC West title and #1 Seed in the NFC, could create the perfect trap game scenario.  The Panthers at home are 5-2.   In the past 2 weeks, the Seahawks struggled to beat the Phillip Rivers Colts in Seattle and then pulled off a miraculous, emotional victory at home vs. the Rams.  I am not convinced that they are as good as advertised. Seattle is a TD favorite in Charlotte.  I feel that Carolina by 3 may be more accurate.  While I am still not confident in this team's consistency and it never seems to dominate, it sure feels like a trap game for Seattle to me.  How could they NOT be thinking of San Francisco right now?  They are not used to being in this position (current players) and it is human nature.  Carolina 27, Seattle 24.
