NFL 2007 Playoffs

I never argued the move could prove a flop for the Raiders, I simply argued they won’t be leaving Vegas before 2030.

That’s Fair and Balanced!  :wink:

Did you travel forward in time from 1992? But your point stands since it’s silly to have both the NBA and NHL operate with such long seasons but still allow over half the teams into their postseasons.

You should root for the new Vegas team, whether it’s an expansion team or the next destination for the vagabond Coyotes.

@Imperious:

The supporting cast basically didn’t show up. I don’t like the substitutions. For example, why not play Greg Ogden? The whole point was to have a big man and he just sat on the bench. Also, they didn’t really play Haslem till the end and they broke the confidence of Chalmers. He never played this poorly ever.

Big men wouldn’t have helped outside shooting, which is what killed the Heat - best FG% in any finals in history, nearly 50% from 3 as a team.

They need to trade for a PG, get rid of Wade.

Not sure what happened with Chalmers, but he was terrible.  Cole would have been a better start.

Need a real center, not Anderson

Need a bench more than they need a center.  But that’s where they took cuts to sign the Big 3.

Run more plays for Bosh

Maybe in the 1st game - after that he caught the Wade flu.

@frimmel:

It is incorrect to call this labor troubles. It is not a strike. This did not start with the workers.

Union busting is union busting. It is simply owners attempting to increase their profits at the expense of their employees. Employees that are frequently physically broken and who lose years from their lives for their jobs. No one goes to the games or tunes in on TV to see the owners. No sympathy for the owners here.

Nice analysis here.

Every player in the NFL knows the risk that playing football has. Sixty percent of revenue going to the players is rather high. Somewhere between forty and fifty percent sounds better.

Both sides should be able to agree on a rookie cap.

@ABWorsham:

What you guys think about the Wade Phillips getting fired as Cowboys head coach?

I don’t think he was a huge problem, but he definitely was part of the issue especially when it came to raising hell how the Boys are losing.  Honestly I don’t have much hope for Jason, and think Jerry needs start by removing himself from GM.

I think his ‘player coach’ attitude slowly worn on the organization. I know he didnt cause the bad choices on the field, but someone’s head needed to roll.

I like the North African expansion, I’m a little puzzled about the lack of an announcement on the War at Sea expansion, and I’m very nervous about the whole “Tanks with Commanders” deal.  I thought heroes were a suspect addition to the game which would lead to some of the problems seen in other minis games.  I got out of Mechwarrior because you couldn’t win without the super-special limited edition promo mechs, and I’m worried that these will turn into super-special units that break the game.

I’m from Texas, so I tend to root for area teams by default.  But call me a bandwagoneer, I’ve always respected the Yankees of hockey - those Red Wings.  Probably one of the best things out of Detroit besides Motown and some cars.

I hate the Raiders, and I thought Collins looked his typical scattered self but lord did you see how often Moss got TRIPLE teams? Quick math - there are 11 people on each side of the line…

1 QB
2 RB
5 O-Linemen
3 WR’s

to the Defense’s

4 D Linemen
3 LB’s
2 CB’s
2 Safety’s

Now if 3 of the 4 people in your secondary are covering one person, that leaves 2 WR’s completely open to do as they please…I think no matter how bad their QB sucks with their already great WR’s Curry and Porter the addition of Moss will force subpar teams with no pass rush to play alot of nickle packages against da Raiders - which only opens up the field for play action draws to Jordan. Still…the Chiefs should prevail in both meetings this year :D
