Trades yesterday:

The draft day artful dodger, Ted Thompson, got dusted by the Denver GM for evil genius trading up and down and all around. Look at all those trades!

Did the Denver GM game the Patriots and Cowboys or the other way around? :cyclopsani:

Only thing I can figure out is that the Broncos hold the title for most trades in the first round.. accumulating picks and then dealing them to move back up.. basically in the end.. the broncos managed to save cash with all the moves.. that is about it.

They traded back a bunch of picks, and then wasted a bunch to trade back up and select Tebow. I'm not really sure any of us will know weather this was a good move until 3 years from now.

Yeah, true. And even now, I am not smart enough to figure out the utility of all those trades -- what did it avail them?

Even if Tebow turns out to be a great pick I'm still not sure that it'll be validated. Chances are Tebow would've kept falling and eventually could've drafted him in the 2nd round while picking a better prospect earlier or even just waited and conserved all the picks they had accumulated by trading down.

Martha Careful (1h) : I don't see it happening but I would sure love to see Houston pull the upset here

Mucky Tundra (2h) : *rebuffed

Mucky Tundra (2h) : Bears coaching search in trouble? Bears reached out to the Steelers about trading for Mike Tomlin and rebuffes per Schefter

Mucky Tundra (2h) : This is one of the reasons I find the MNF wildcard games annoying

Martha Careful (3h) : Beast, your is a very strong point...for a change 😊😊😊

beast (3h) : More consistent with their time and rest between games.

beast (3h) : I think all the AFC games should be on Saturday and all the NFC should be on Sunday (maybe reverse the order every year), to more consistent

Martha Careful (4h) : Don't you think teams with the byes should play Sunday? It is fairer to opponents to give an additional day. instead of short week.

beast (17-Jan) : You have a point, it's a very wise move, therefore, that can't be what the Jets are doing.

Zero2Cool (17-Jan) : It'd be a wise move.

beast (17-Jan) : I think Jets are just killing time, and picking up information as they wait for their guy to get done with the playoffs.

Zero2Cool (16-Jan) : Brewers icon & Baseball Hall of Famer Bob Uecker passed away today at the age of 90

Zero2Cool (16-Jan) : Jets wanna interview Jeff Hafley for their HC spot. W. T. F.

beast (15-Jan) : So Hurts didn't take many, if any risks, and wasn't throwing into Cover 2, which I think helped the Packers. Where a more aggressive QB o

beast (15-Jan) : Cover 2, keep a CB and Safety over top of both WRs... and Hurts (like Rodgers) is overly careful and doesn't like any risk in his throws.

joepacker (15-Jan) : new to this maybe question n wrong place?

joepacker (15-Jan) : how did the packers mostly shut down the eagles passin attack and specifically how did they manage such a good job on aj brown?

Zero2Cool (15-Jan) : Per his dad

Zero2Cool (15-Jan) : Watson to have his surgery soon, and should be back around Week 12, with a normal rehab.

beast (15-Jan) : More likely to listen if the guy controlling the ball is the one telling them

beast (15-Jan) : Apparently because players aren't doing the small things when the coaches tell them, and LaFleur believes they're more likely

Zero2Cool (15-Jan) : Jordan isn't a vocal guy. Why not let him lead his way?

Zero2Cool (15-Jan) : I'm not sure it ever bodes well when you have to tell your team leader to be more vocal.

Zero2Cool (15-Jan) : CFL. Nice.

packerfanoutwest (15-Jan) : good luck with that

packerfanoutwest (15-Jan) : Matt LaFleur looking for Jordan Love to be more of a vocal leader

Zero2Cool (14-Jan) : Didn't watch the game so can't say

Mucky Tundra (14-Jan) : Anyone else abhor MNF wildcard games?

Martha Careful (14-Jan) : Why is it that the Rams rookies can contribute right away but our first and second year guys are too young to contribute in a meaningful way

Martha Careful (14-Jan) : Yes, Saquon Barkley had a very nice game. But he has a much better offensive line in front of him. I'll take Josh Jacob's. I love the guy
