  1. If Jacksonville moved to LA (hypothetically) and you didn't care about preserving rivalries (hypothetically) you'd probably end up with this, based on geography:

    East:

    Patriots

    Jets

    Bills

    Ravens

    North:

    Steelers

    Colts

    Browns

    Bengals

    South:

    Titans

    Chiefs

    Dolphins

    Texans

    West:

    Broncos

    L.A. Smog (or equivalent)

    Raiders

    Chargers

    Funny how no matter how you try to set it up the AFC South is always going to end up looking like the division of little lost lambs. Just an inevitable effect of trying to organize a sports league, there's always going to be one division that looks like the people in charge just said "screw it, put the rest of them in here." The AFC South is like the Professor and Mary Ann in the first season of Gilligan's Island.

    Makes sense if the the Jags move to LA.  If the Rams do, then St. Louis could be in the NFC West anyway so their division wouldn't change if a move happened. 

  2. Anyone think the divisions should be realigned?

    Also how would you guy realign them if you were in charge?

    Thanks for the post!  I love doing these.   I mentioned a realignment to someone and he said, "You'd be breaking up long time rivalries!"  My response was, "So what?  Get new ones."

  3. I think that is the best lineup we could put out there but for that to happen Satele will have to be benched. It hasn't happened so far but maybe this week is the week.

     

    Satele has been given a free pass. Hopefully, you're right about this week being the week.

  4. Too early.  Offensive line adjustments, time to study the playbook, and training camp will all help with the Richardson scenario.  Brown has had several years. 

     

    Of course, I just repeated everything most of the previous posters stated. 

     

    Another problem is the offense.  Trent takes several steps backward (according to the play) and I can even tell.  "Handoff up the middle."

    They switch out Brown and Richardson-they're going for longer yardage. 

     

    Put the two on the field at the same time as it makes the offense less predictable.  Brown has good hands and can be a receiver. 

  5. Living just outside of Baltimore and having a Ravens fan as a husband, I've got to say I'm sick of playing the Ravens in the playoffs.

     

    Just remind him of how the Indianapolis Colts beat the Baltimore Ravens in the playoffs in 07. 

  6. I like the classic look and I even like the throwbacks every once in a while (dark blue helmet with the horseshoes on the back. 

     

    I used to think we needed an update but I look at teams like the Broncos or Jaguars and their updates make them look like Arena League teams.  I'd be afraid of what the new unis would look like. 

  7. It's wierd that our o line has looked best when McGlynn plays at centre and Link plays RG.

    Donald Thomas is sorely missed that's for sure.

     

    Very true.  What I can't figure out (no one can) is why they keep starting Satele and putting McGlynn back at guard when several difficult games have shown us that it doesn't work.

  8. It's not about how good or bad he is. Its about the fact that last year, he was clearly better than anyone else we had at center, yet he was sent packing. That is frustrating as a fan, to see your team continue to make poor decisions on personnel for reasons not pertaining to play on the field. So what that you made a poor signing in Satele? Man up and play your best option. Don't keep starting bad players just so they can continue to have the opportunity to maybe vindicate you and your decisions one day.

     

    F. Scott Fitzgerald couldn't have worded it any better. 

  9. I'd like to see TRich behind a better O-line.  In addition, we got him for short yardage anyway.  He's not particularly quick but he's bulky and hard to get down once he has some momentum (blocking and space).  As for Brown, I like him, too.  He explodes when he's got a hole to run through and gets a significant number of yards.  Plus, he can catch.  The two could complement each other very well in a tandem.  Put them on the field at the same time with some sets not involving Havili.  It takes away a little of the predictability, which is bad that I can see what they're going to do and I'm no expert on football.  Could be run or pass.

  10. I started to believe that it was a personnel issue and in some cases, that's true.

     

    I now think, however, that it's coaching and schemes on both sides of the ball, blocking on O-line, coverage on D...
