I put the Rams as worse than the Redskins, they have more talent (lots of first round picks) yet, they can't do shit and have 1 sack for the season.

Records are pretty much the same (I know they had a bye week) doesn't matter how you lost.

Good luck with selling those.

Most underrated pickup in the off season to me: Rolando McClain. Always knew he could play, just needed to get his head out of his ass.

The Rams simply have no QB, and are constantly playing from behind. Once they solve that they will start winning more games.

Could say the same about us, just substitute OL and S.

Too early for draft talk? Landon Collins anyone?

Re: Around the NFL: Week 7
 

Too early.

We beat Tenn. and then Minn., but lose to Dallas (I hated writing that), and go the bye at 3-6. Enter RGIII -- 7 win tear and the playoffs baby! Just like 2012.

(OK, no way that happens -- winning in SF and Ind. would be harder than anything we did in 2012, I think -- but it would be an incredible story.)

I actually considered starting a draft thread today, but decided it wouldn't be well-received this early. :Smoker:

I can't believe this is a thing.

[QUOTE]After learning the hard way of what happens when wearing Beats in the NFL, 49ers QB Kaepernick has found a way to sidestep the Beats headphones ban. Yes, ladies and gents, he simply tapes the logo. Hit the jump for photos of Kaepernick’s bold move!

via WashingtonPost

The San Francisco 49ers quarterback, who was fined $10,000 for wearing the product produced by a competitor of an NFL sponsor to a postgame press conference last week, sported them again Monday night after the 49ers beat the St. Louis Rams 31-17.

Kaepernick stepped to the podium and there, around his neck were Beats by Dre, with the logo taped over.[/QUOTE]

Sponsors and the league should probably realize that this type of enforcement is an [B]EXCELLENT [/B]way to provide people with a reason not to purchase your products.

No highs, no lows? Must be Bose.

Though it would seem that Beats already realized this:
[url=http://www.cultofmac.com/299738/jimmy-iovine-loves-nfl-banned-beats-headphones/]Beats co-founder says NFL ban turned them into superheroes[/url]
[QUOTE]Apple’s new headphone company received an official ban from the NFL this season, prohibiting the Beats cans from being worn at games or official press conferences, and Beats co-founder Jimmy Iovine couldn’t feel more lucky.

Iovine was the keynote speaker today at the University of Southern California’s Global Conversation, and according to Business Insider, he told the audience that the NFL’s decision to ban Beats at the behest of Bose was an inept move that’s turned Beats into a superhero.

“What happened there, you have a tech company that’s culturally inept,” said Iovine. “There’s no one at the company that said, ‘If you ban these guys, you’re going to look bad to the young people, and they’re going to look like superheroes even though they’re just pure capitalists — well they’re not pure capitalists, but they’re real capitalists and sold that company to Apple — but you’re going to make them look like the underdog.”

Iovine and Dr. Dre have mastered the art of guerrilla marketing to make Beats the biggest name in headphones, thanks to a steady stream of celeb endorsements, music video cameos and a keen touch with pop culture. Beats was also banned from the World Cup this summer by official sponsor Sony, but the ban was a huge score for Beats, which was seen as the headphones soccer stars really use when they’re of the field.

“It’s like, I can’t believe I’m this lucky,” said Iovine. “I feel like sending them the tape,” referring to Colin Kaepernick’s decision to put tape over the Beats logo during press conferences, after the NFL fined him $10,000 for wearing them earlier this season.[/QUOTE]

They say cross racial identification is unreliable, yet it seems to be a moot point when these two are involved as I imagine that all races have trouble telling them apart.

They do look a lot like indeed. Maybe it is a good thing!

1 sack? So far we have 1 division title since the trade. We lead them.

Re: Around the NFL: Week 7
 

Would CJ Spiller be a fit in the Grudden offense? Id send them Cousins and a late pick for him. Spiller needs a fresh start, I think Skins would fit.

There are rumours out of Buffalo they are taking offers, why the hell not?

Re: Around the NFL: Week 7
 

Because our needs on offense are healthy QB and O-Line, not RB.

From the fans perspect, Alfmo is wonderful...but that perspective is not the one that counts. Gruden needs a pass catcher and I think he would like a more atheletic back to pair with Alfmo. Thats just my feeling.

I agree with needs of O-Line

No thanks. We don't need an underachieving RB. Now if they offered Marcel Darius or an O-linemen then I'm listening.

If they took anything from a 5th to a 7th, yes I would consider it, but like everyone else has said, we need OL and S help.

If you want a big safety that can't cover? Yes. I have been watching him since HS, and he would be better around the LOS, but he has Kam Chancellor written on him as far as potential

Alabama player? No thanks. They're getting to the point where they're almost as bust prone as LSU players. Though for different reasons, as it seems Saban has a reputation for running guys into the ground with physical practices.

Re: Around the NFL: Week 7
 

Man. Watching Brady sit back having all day to throw behind his Oljne convinces me that we realllly need to upgrade

Without Mankins they struggled early and seemed to have settled. Why can't the Redskins OL develop out young G and T? Talent? Bad coaching?

I am gonna need you to stop talking bad about LSU players.

P.S.: Bama LBs recently have been pretty good

P.P.S.: LSU secondary players outside of Claiborne tend to do fairly well.

P.P.P.S.: I still loathe How I met your Mother.

Seattle only gets a conditional mid-rounder? Would've thought Harvin would go for more than that.

Regardless, it's safe to say Minnesota won the original trade going away.

Vinny??

Talk about a piss poor GM. What kind of moron trades a 1st, 3rd, and 7th rounder for a WR, while giving him a huge contract with 25.5 mil guaranteed, ONLY to trade him within a year and some change for a mid-round draft pick. It's moves like that is why that team is going to last very long. At least they got their one SB win in.



edit: Looks like some info is coming out now about why he was traded.

Harvin was more difficult to deal with last year than anybody knows. He has real trust issues with people. No getting it back once lost.

If only the refs hadn't called back all his Touchdowns.

Re: Around the NFL: Week 7
 

He wasn't that good for Seattle this year. And last year he didn't really have an impact until the super bowl.

I think Seattle realized they made a mistake and tried to get anything they could for him. That is better than just keeping him because you didn't want to admit you made a mistake.
