rlMangini has been bootedrl

I reckon John Gruden`s best mate Mike Holmgren will be on the phone if he hasn`t already

They should have given him one more season IMO. They kind of faltered towards the end of the year but they're putting together a decent offense. With a decent draft they could be a decent team next season.

Still, not as bad as Tom Cable being fired which is ridiculous.

He`s had 2 years and has done naff all , at least in Oaklands case they look like they are improving whereas the Browns are not again IMO

The Browns seem to be the same every year so getting a Superbowl winning coach like Gruden or even Holmgren himself can only help

As i have a interest in the Seahawks it would be difficult to disagree with your statement...But the fans are something else

They got behind their team when it mattered, poor team maybe but the fans are brilliant...no glory hunters there

10-6 for us again. Got some hard teams in there. With the exception of the NFC West. Although I expect huuge improvement in most of them.

Yeah, tell us about it. Weve been killed by injuries this year. I would have liked to have seen what we could have done with a full season out of McCoy and Talib. They made a big diference been out the last month. Losng Cody Grimm too. Looking forward to getting TJax back too. We should have a cracking team next season with a few additions. Think we had 11 players out yeterday. Anyway theres no way we will lose all 4 games against the Saints and Atlanta. Ill go for a split and say:


Falcons W
Panthers W
Saints W
Bears L
Lions W
Colts L
Texans W
Cowboys L


Falcons L
Panthers W
Saints L
Packers L
Vikings W
Jaguars W
Titans W
49ers W

I agree entirely.

I don't think it should be changed at all. It is a shame that some good teams miss out but they have 3 spots they can get (you can win your division or get 1 of 2 wildcard spots) if they can't do that then tough.

If a team is poor, in relation to the other play-off teams, then them making the play-offs and having a home game is irrelvant as the wildcard will be good enough to beat them.

rlAnyone doing the NFL.COM play-off challenge?rl

In the first round I have picked

QB- Drew Brees
RB`s- LeSean McCoy-Ray Rice
WR`s- Reggie Wayne-Marques Colston
TE- Jacob Tamme
K- David Akers
DEF- Saints

I think you can set up a league but not 100% sure

I like our chances next year based on the schedule we have.

We've managed to get to 10-6 this year despite having 14 players on IR and we've actually had the hardest/highest strength of schedule of any of the play-off teams this year along with being one of the youngest teams in the league.

Next Years Schedule
Home- Vikes (W), Bears (W), Lions (W), Saints (L), Bucs (W), Broncos (W), Raiders (W), Rams (W)
Away- Vikes (L), Bears (L), Lions (W), Falcons (L), Panthers (W), Chargers (W), Chiefs (W), Giants (W)

12-4 IMO. We've gone 4-2 in the division every year since McCarthy has been HC. We could possibly drop the Chargers and Giants away but I fancy no worse that 10-6.

If you mean from last seasons(2009) records you haven`t actually, but I haven`t seen this years cumilative records so if you mean that then I apologise

This year you had the 22nd hardest strength of schedule according to the nfl.com schedule maps, don`t forget it goes off all your opponents cumilative records from the year before, so this years counts towards next years strength of schedule.

I have confused myself now
