    Stoney's He-Man Steeler Haters NFL Playoff Thread ... No Yinzers allowed

    Meanwhile, in news nobody has really talked about but will make a major difference: Panthers DT Star Lotulelei has been ruled out against the Seahawks. http://espn.go.com/nfl/playoffs/2014/story/_/id/12132709/star-lotulelei-carolina-panthers-broken-foot I know the Panthers were big underdogs...

    Stoney's He-Man Steeler Haters NFL Playoff Thread ... No Yinzers allowed

    Back to the Suh suspension being overturned, evidently that's because of the way the NFL's policy is written. Judy Battista explained it on her Twitter feed yesterday. The NFL policy says that, after the first violation of a safety-related rule, if a player goes 32 straight games (includes...

    2014-15 NFL Coaching Carousel Thread

    The Falcons do need a new running back, and they'll eventually need a WR to replace Roddy White, but they do have some decent offensive linemen. Jake Matthews might be better next year if he avoids injuries. The defense definitely needs an overhaul, though. Marcus Trufant is the only player...

    Apologies if this was already posted in the thread, but I thought this was pretty funny: http://www.sacbee.com/sports/nfl/san-francisco-49ers/article5187357.html

    2014-15 NFL Coaching Carousel Thread

    Did all the Niners press conference talk go into its own thread or something? Because, oh boy, did York come off sounding like a complete moron. I await for a yes-man to be the Niners' next head coach. Meanwhile, Woody Johnson says "why, yes, I'd love to bring back Darrelle Revis" then has to...

    NFL Week 17

    And since we are officially done with Week 16 games, I'll make a couple of predictions. * Steelers win because Roethlisberger can throw it over the top (especially with Antonio Brown around) and Dalton can't. * Packers wrap up the NFC North because Rodgers is just pissed off at the Lions in...

    Regarding the Bengals, the biggest problem Dalton has is he is terrible at throwing deep balls. His screen passes and shorter routes were mostly good, but any time he tried to go over the top, the pass was awful. He's lucky he didn't have more than one pass picked off.

    #bluefont And even then, the Chargers hired the guy who made Tebow look competent.

    Rodgers or Romo is likely to win MVP, although I would not be surprised to see Watt get a few votes. Watt, of course, will be DPOY. Beckum will take OROY easily given how he's made such an impact in just a few games. Better question may be: Does DeMarco Murray take OPOY or does Marshawn Lynch...

    That is true, but the Cowboys are arguably playing better too. They outplayed the Colts in every aspect of the game yesterday, and a few weeks ago, plenty of people thought the Cowboys were done after they got beaten decisively at home against the Eagles.

    The lesson to be learned with Cutler is this: If you have a quarterback who can do some good things, but hasn't proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that he's the long-term guy, you don't give him fully guaranteed money for more than one year in a new contract. Had the Bears simply made the 2014...

    Seattle is certainly tough to beat at home, but not invincible. The Dallas Cowboys beat Seattle in Seattle and it's certainly possible the Cowboys reach the NFC title game.

    My bet on who would trade for Cutler... J-E-T-S.

    SONY hack: Difference between theft and leak

    Several movie theaters decide to air Team America: World Police as a form of protesting Sony's decision to not release The Interview. And Paramount tells the theaters not to air it. http://www.theverge.com/2014/12/18/7417111/paramount-is-now-canceling-screenings-of-team-america-world-police...

    The cap hit Shutdown Corner refers to, is how much it would be if the Bears trade Cutler, rather than just release him. If the Bears do trade Cutler, though, I suspect the Bears will have to agree to pay part of the salary. There is a difference between fully guaranteed money and "guaranteed...
