The Ravens offense looked pretty good with Troy Smith behind center. I believe had Brian Billick been given another year with Smith at QB that the Raven would have been a playoff contender. I honestly think that whomever coaches in Baltimore next season will need to find #1 WR for Smith and keep McNair for insurance. I think the QB situation was a huge part of the reason Billick got fired. Truthfully he should have kept Trent Dilfer when he won the Super Bowl in 2000 but I think the real issue for the management was Billick's loyalty to Kyle Boller who'd only shown flashes of brilliance in an otherwise lackluster career in Baltimore. In short what I'm saying is that the problem with the Baltimore offense is much more simple to fix than it appears. Fix the passing game and that team can win 11 games next season with most of their current personnel.

Damn. Sounds like its glitching out on you. This style of forum does that for some reason with polls sometimes. Refresh the page and see if the actual poll shows up at the top of this thread.
It happens when you click on the thread from the "Main" forum page (when it shows as the last thread posted in). You have to click on the subject of the forum (Sports, Hollywood Blvd, The Garden etc) then click on the thread title. That way, the poll will show. I'm not sure why, it just is that way.
Ok, that fixed it. I clicked the last post link when I came into the Sports Junkies board and it still glitched on me so I clicked the thread title and now it works.
I voted Barry Sanders off. He was a phenomenal runner. One of the most unique and amazing RBs to watch in the history of the league. But he wasn't a good goal line/short yardarge RB, he couldn't get hard yardage and he disappeared in most of the Lions playoffs and big games over the course of his career.

almost like a bipolar kind of thing.
Wasn't he rumored to be diagnosed as bi-polar when he allegedly tried to commit suicide during his first year in Dallas?

Ok, explain to me how this works. Oh and is Eric Dickerson still in it?

The Chargers played a very intense physical game and paid a pretty heavy cost with the injuries. I don't see them being able to go to New England next week and repeating their performance due to the fact that the team is pretty banged up at key positions now. I do, however see that the Chargers passing offense is really starting to take center stage. Rivers along with his two WRs have transformed the passing game into more than a dump off to Gates or Tomlinson affair and they'll have to do that next week in order to score points. The issue with the Chargers offense as it matches up with New England is that it's not necessarily designed to eat up the clock and that's been a proven component in beating the Patriots this year so I expect the Pats to roll next week.

Skins gonna have a rough off season. I was watching a segment about Gibbs earlier, and they mentioned the Skins are gonna be 23 million over the salary cap.
This is why he left and I can't say that I blame him. He'd basically have to dismantle the team and rebuild around a few players he could afford to keep and that's not feasible for a man his age. Gibbs had to "win now" with the team he had and there's no way he could do that next season if the team was going to be taken apart. I can't say I blame him at all for wanting to leave for this reason alone.

He needed to be put out to pasture. He's a relic of the 70's-80's. Couldn't adapt to 21st century football.
I tend to disagree. He's better than over 50% of the head coaches in the NFL right now and he looked to have the Redskins turned around towards the end of the season. I would like to have seen what he could do with one more season.

I've did a lot of drugs over the years. I'm known to get years wrong from time to time.:haha:
I've been an NFL fan for 27 years now and I've watched NFL Films on a regular basis for most of that time.

Yep, its unlikely. But if they get on a roll, who knows. I believe the 2005 Steelers are the only wild card team to go on the road the whole way, to the Super Bowl.
84 Raiders, 93 Bills, and 00 Ravens did it, two of them winning the SB.
Its possible, just not likely. I'm not saying that just because its the Giants. If the Pats were in the same position, I would say the same thing. Its really hard to win 3 games in a playoff atmosphere in the underdog position.
Also the 1985 Patriots. BTW that was the 1983 Raiders. 1984 was the year that Dan Marino passed for 5,004 yards and took the Dolphins to the Super Bowl.
