That one will work! Thanks. I like how for NO, their most important signing to date was re-signing their PK Garrett Hartley! I guess they haven't added Aubrayo Franklin yet, but I'd still put Darren Sproles ahead of Hartley, especially since they lost Bush.

I know ESPN has their FA tracker, but that does not account for trades or drafted players. Is there any site that has a comprehensive listing by team of newly signed players for 2011 and players lost, regardless of whether via trade, FA or draft?

The year before the Pats brought in Randy Moss, their #1 WR was Reche Caldwell and #2 was 35 yr old Troy Brown. Moss was off a terrible 2006 w/ Oakland, with just 42 catches for 550 yds and 3 TDs, and everyone saw him as a cancer.Yea, OK, sounds exactly like what the Ravens did when they...

You are proving my point though. I said from the first post: "He has a big arm, he has a big body, he throws a good deep ball." And I went on to say how he chokes in big games.Flacco is a decent starting QB. I never said he wasn't. He's certainly not top 3 statistically. He could become a...

Should have been more specific. Road games was the only qualifier. Flacco plays MUCH better at home, its not even close, at least so far in his...

Witness Exhibit 5 for Flacco choking: When the Ravens are losing after the 3rd quarter, they are 1-13 in all games since Flacco came to town. And its not as if those games were blowouts - they are 0-6 when trailing by 6 or fewer points after the third quarter, and 0-4 when trailing by 2 or 3...

For whatever reason, Flacco plays great at home, terrible on the road. Better vs. crap teams or decent opponents during the season, far worse in clutch games or in the playoffs.He completely struggles in those spots. Sure, factor in the home games where he records 120+ ratings in blowouts vs...

I think you are missing the point. Please tell me when I said "Flacco is a crappy QB who can't win games and his team isn't close to winning it all?"The discussion was born when his HC said "Statistically, he's one of the best 3rd year QBs in the history of football".I think I provided enough...

Direct from my article: In Flacco’s first 3 years, he has four 4th quarter comebacks, ranking 45th in NFL history. Current QBs such as Peyton, Big Ben and Matt Ryan have at least double that number in their first 3 seasons.When it comes to game winning drives, Flacco ranks 35th in NFL history...

Huge difference between drafting a rookie WR and bringing in proven Pro-Bowler WRs from other teams. It would be more in-line w/ the Ravens to draft a great WR. Instead, they paid for the proven guys because they know they have a window and they know Flacco needed that level of help. I'm not...

I was blown away when I heard Jim Harbaugh, Ravens HC, state of Joe Flacco: “Statistically, he’s one of the best third-year quarterbacks in history of football,” Harbaugh said. “I don’t think we should ever lose sight of the fact that this guy is as good a third-year quarterback as has played...

You are approaching "wagering" totally wrong. You are a Colts fan who thought the spread was too high. That should have told you something. Books didn't line the game "as if it was in Indianapolis", they lined the game to get the action they desired. Books made out because most of the...

Johnson will be missed! Two huge reasons I will personally miss him: He became D coordinator for the Eagles in 1999. 1. Since 1999, NO NFL TEAM HAD MORE ATS WINS than the Eagles. 2. Since 1999, the Eagles were 2nd in terms of average ATS margin. He controlled that D and anytime the Eagles...

Pittsburgh's O-Line pass protection was by far one of the worst in the NFL this year. Anyone who thinks Arizona's O-Line had similar season stats in pass protection is sorely mistaken. http://www.footballoutsiders.com/stats/ol Pass Blocking Arizona was #7 in "adjusted sack rate" which takes...

A few numbers. 1 1 is the number of teams w/ a winning record that Cleveland beat last year enroute to their "dominant" 10-6 record 105 105 is the number of losses combined that the teams Cleveland beat had on the season. Their total record was 55-105, or roughly 6-11 on average. * Road...
