But hey, at least they got a deal done for a new stadium because Super Bowl or Bust AMIRITE?  They certainly kept their promise!  |

That would work. Davis can switch to WR and Gonzalez can stay as TE. |

Sure I understand. For the bottom 2 or 3 spots there are a bunch of "ok" teams right now that you can choose from.

The bottom 5 of Paelos's "list" would qualify for that. |

I didn't even see this story until now but the Raiders released Matt Flynn.  So who needs a QB that has now lost the starting job to TWO running QB's on two separate teams despite having a starting QB contract? Tampa? Jacksonville? Buffalo? Tennessee? There's lot of injuries/issues at QB in the lower ranked teams but does anyone want to take the flier on him? |

I was going to comment on Paelos' list... until I realized that my pick performance proves that I know nothing about the NFL this year.

Marginal quarterbacks on great teams always look shiny. He is not bad for a backup who never really has to play to win a game, but otherwise... Can't really knock him for the Seattle thing though. NO ONE excepted Wilson to do much given his size. |

I'm not sure why we're not doing any designed plays for him this year.

Only problem is they haven't been. Kap needs to be doing designed runs if for no other reason than they have one functioning wideout and a gimpy Vernon Davis to catch the ball. He's not a good enough passer yet to make that work without some trickeration, which is what the pistol is built to do. Yet they seem almost spitefully unwilling to use it. |

Seattle has been doing the same thing with Wilson. Now that he is a 'franchise QB', he is too valuable to risk. All but a tiny fraction of Wilson's rushing yards this year are from scrambles, not designed plays. I think he has been loathe to call his own number on the read option as well. Not sure what is causing that. |

Maybe seeing a bunch of other QBs having their knees exploded by defenses who are hell-bent on hitting low is a strong disincentive.

 I'm pretty sure they'll give him 8 games. Then regardless of the record, he's gone. |

Well that was fun. Even though it was against my team, it was nice seeing Brandon Jacobs have a game like that, always liked the guy. Too bad it was against third string tackles. Cutler continues to play well and predictably will continue to be unnoticed by the rest of the world until the next time he scowls at someone.
Bears best find a way to shore up the line with Melton out, or its going to be a long season - can't intercept passes when they are running it down your throat.

I don't really see what they have to gain by firing Coughlin right away.

Firing Elli or Coughlin won't solve shit. Just let the season be the disaster it is destined to be and try and get a decent RB next year.

Every time the mob starts calling for Coughlin's head, the Giants seem to make the playoffs/super bowl. Just sayin'.

Not this year. Year ain't over... and it would not surprise me if the team that wins the division goes 8-8. |

Coming down from 0-6 to make the playoffs would pretty much take a goddamn miracle, even in that dumpster fire of a division they call the NFC East. Yes, 8-8 might win that division - hell, 7-9 might do that. I'm not sure I see the Giants winning 3 games, much less the 7 or 8 out of 10 it would require. They have no running game. Eli is throwing picks left and right because he only has Victor Cruz to throw to and has no offensive line. Their defense can't stop anybody.
I don't blame Coughlin. The GM gave him shit to work with and left the O line to get too old and injured.

If the Giants win the rest of their remaining 4 division games (Redskins x2) and the majority (3) their non-division games (Vikings, Raiders, Packers, Chargers, Seahawks), that would put them at 8-8. The bright spot is that they have a long rest between last night and Sunday night against a beatable(?) Vikings. All that really has to happen is a stop to the turnovers.
