NFL Offseason Thread: March 3, 2011. A date which will live in infamy.

[Valisk]

I heard, unconfirmed, that Romo's pace last year was on pace to eclipse Brady's season. I haven't bothered to verify, just something I heard on NFLN I think.

That would be extremely surprising seeing how we started 1-5. Speaks volumes about our defense, or lack thereof.

[Ishido]

I also refuse to believe any kind of rating that has Alex Smith as anything but poor.

[Flarega]

How could he be poor? He's been stealing our money for years!

[Headspace]

Flarega, should I be excited for Manny Lawson?

Well, as excited as a Bengals fan can be.

[Headspace]

Bengals currently sitting at a cool $41 million under the cap.

Really hope Hamilton County sues, as he promised a "competitve atmosphere" when they agreed to pay for his god damn stadium.

Tyche is trolling but through the first 6 games (Romo barely played in the 6th mind you) Romo was at 1605 yards, 69.5% completion, 11TD/7INT and Brady was at 1395 yards, 65.4% completion, 11td/4int.

He was on pace for 5011 yards.

Tweet Stream of the Week

This gem happened between Arizona kicker Jay Feely (@jayfeely) and Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio (@ProFootballTalk) on Wednesday, shortly after Olindo Mare agreed to a four-year, $12-million contract with Carolina. Florio, a lawyer, streams his site on NBCSports.com.
2:29 p.m., @ProFootballTalk: "It's a four-year, $12 million contract with $4 million signing bonus for Mare. A kicker.''
2:46 p.m., @ProFootballTalk: "Of course, Mare hasn't actually 'signed.' He agreed to terms. Which gives Panthers two days to come to their senses.''
2:52 p.m., @jayfeely: "NBC gave a lawyer w/no football experience a big contract.''
2:58 p.m., @ProFootballTalk: "@jayfeely ... At least we have something in common. Neither of us has actually played in an NFL game.''
3:52 p.m., @jayfeely: "now you sound like Skip Bayless. Come to camp, see if they can find shoulder pads small enough for you & we can find out''

[Tyche]

I wasn't trolling, I really heard someone say that.

[Militant]

Any big moves today? Haven't been tuned into the appropriate outlets.

Well based on the numbers MoW posted it's true. But "on pace" is such a bullshit stat. There's only do or do not.

[Rhinox]

albert was never good? lolwut

it's def looking like ocho will fit in just fine, just wait and see. He was in a shit situation before

Contract year.

[Flarega]

Well, as excited as a Bengals fan can be.

You shold just be excited Nate Clements isn't robbing you.

[Demosthenes11]

Contract year.

BILL

BILL

Bill who ?

[tyven]

Perhaps he means Bill as in, the Bill the patriots pay for haynesworth's services as a floor mat.

I mean technically you don't sign a contract with a carpet.

need to add ocho's voice to that video and have BILL BILLLLLL being shouted as he's on the ground

[tyven]

i like ocho. i think he will be just fine.

everyone knows haynesworth only played for a contract. jeff fisher couldnt get the best out of him until there was money on the line, jim zorn was a joke, and shanny basically had him crucified here. public humiliation didnt even light a fire.

he literally lived in the building next to my best friend, all he did was hang out at Jacksons and American Tap Room and party. Guys a joke.

and the second he sucks, he's cut and we lose nothing ^_^

[tyven]

no cuz then you take the chance the redskins didnt want to take. that being he goes to a division rival and actually plays with passion. His hatred for the redskins prob burns a lil more than his hatred for the pats would though. When I say public crucifixion I mean it. Shanny had his fat ass out there running sprints before he was even allowed to practice, so embarrassing/funny/classic DC sports.

[Effluo]

S.O.B. Andre Johnson dislocated his finger in practice today... Last year he played most of the season with a sprained ankle, but not sure how well he will do with a dislocated digit...
