Any chance of him coming to Oakland?

Last year he gave serious thought to the Browns, who are up there with the Raiders in terms of dysfunction, so I wouldn't count any team out. The Raiders would have to be willing to pay top dollar, which they haven't done in the past, and Harbaugh would probably want a lot of say in hiring a GM. I would be surprised if he ended up in Oakland because of how terrible their roster is, but I wouldn't completely discount the possibility.

I want him for the Jets, but I don't know if he wants to be in NY.

What about the Gruden to Oakland rumor? Just Jon wanting to keep his name out there?

I'll never believe Gruden is leaving MNF until it actually happens. His name is mentioned for virtually every prominent college and pro opening and he does nothing to defuse the rumors even though from all appearances he's never actually considered taking any jobs. I just don't know why he'd have interest in Oakland when it's a complete rebuild. He'd really have to feel a sense of nostalgia to return to Oakland.

Well I guess we get to see how deep this team really is.

Your fate now rests in the hands of the Sanchize, boy o boy ol Rex Ryan will shit bricks if Mark comes out and just dominates with the Eagles lol.

We gave them a 7th round pick and Ayers for a 6th round pick. Uhhh that's laughably bad. Unheard of. And when you add in the fact that the Titans will have a top 5 pick and the Pats will have a bottom 5 pick, we essentially gave up Ayers to move up 10 spots in the 6th round.

Absolutely genius on Ruston Webster's part. I swear if this idiot is still here next year we might as tank the season again.

Ayers ended up playing 77 of the 82 defensive snaps with 4 solo tackles and a sack. In his 2 games with the Pats he's got 9 tackles and 2 sacks.

If Sanchez does well it will prove that the lack of weapons around him had a lot to do with his failures.

Yes, he was awful his last couple seasons with the Jets, but he had nothing. Absolutely nothing. Now he has Maclin, McCoy, Sproles, Matthews, Ertz, and Celek.

I might have to pick him up in leagues I had Foles in. Really don't want to, but it's either him or Fitzpatrick.

I think the New York market was pretty rough on him as well.

I believe Houston is on a bye this week!
I'm just hoping that the backup QB and all these injuries inspires the O-Line to play like they did last year, and open some holes for McCoy.
Tough test with Carolina's D coming to town this week. I think Chip is gonna have to reach deep into his bag of tricks, especially with @GB/Sea/Dal x2 left on the schedule.

Sanchez is better than Geno.

This foles injury makes the decision to sit Romo another game easier. I hope they do it.

Fitz is not going to be the starter much longer here in Houston. I am not sure about any of our QB here but once O'Brien realizes that we are not making the playoffs, he needs to put Mallet in there (he is a FA after this year so we need to see if we need to sign him or let him go and we need to determine that from live action, not practice). Or we need to put the rookie Tom Savage in there and see if he has anything.

IMHO, both Mallett and Savage will be worse than Fitzpatrick.

But I agree, you've gotta play them and give them experience.

What a beat down! Eli is going to cost me a win this week

[dcowboy7]

If theres supposed to be all this parity why are there so many blowouts ?

Me too. If he'd been competent, the Colts would have still been passing in the 4th and Allen might have gotten the yards/extra TD I needed

Next week is going to be rough for you. Lots of tough decisions just to field a full team.

Edit: Maybe not. Not sure why you have 2 kickers lol

Every week has been rough for me. My team blows. Not sure how I won 2 of my games.
