Martin Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Quite interesting about the Polian's, I wonder if it's got anything to do with them not liking any potential move with Luck/Manning. Bigger possibility is maybe one of the big name out of work coaches has agreed to coach them, as long as they get to run everything? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Ewing Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 (edited) A few people that are usualy reliable on twitter are hearing that Manning has quietly requested a trade or to be released, hope its not true. As for the Polians Im glad they are gone never forgiven them for sitting the players at 14-0. It was the right time for them to go anyway. The press conference later on should be interesting.

Geoff Kilpatrick Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 New brooms in Indy? I would say Manning will be traded now. Would love to see the Jests go for him and destroy the rest of their roster given what they are paying Sanchez! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Not a huge surprise about Martz. It seems like players will do anything to avoid playing for the Redskins Rocky McIntosh, Redskins linebacker missed curfew on 31st December before the team's Week 17 game and attempted to cover it up by stuffing pillows under his blanket to make it appear as if he were sleeping in his hotel bed, according to ESPN Radio. Redskins coach Mike Shanahan then deactivated McIntosh for Sunday's game against the Eagles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully it will work and in case it's needed, the password for it is Kickback. Imaginative I know. Seems quite decent, 2 QB's, 2 RB'S, 2 WR'S and a TE, K, D, each week with a budget. Just a points league version rather than head to head.

Martin Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 No worries at all about setting up the play off challenge, interesting to see how it goes. With the play offs, I'd have to go for the Bengals, Saints, Giants and Steelers. I think it's going to be difficult for the Texans with all the injuries, although in lots of ways its the most interesting game because both teams have either no or virtually no play off experience. Saints and Lions should be entertaining. The Falcons haven't shown they can win any big game in the last few years and sadly I think the Broncos have no chance against the Steelers, although Mendenhall, Clark and Pouncey being out should help. Good to get the trade done and finally get one of the best RB's but unless McFadden does the business, I've given up a hell of a lot for him. Got to hope he does the business and at least I've still got my two top first round picks to help as well. But because of that, I should also ask the question No one giving me abuse for the McFadden trade? Out of interest, for everyone else if it was a choice between McFadden and Forte, who would you have gone for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sterling Archer Posted January 6, 2012 Author Share Posted January 6, 2012 Probably Forte for me but either is worth what you paid. My general rule is that whoever got the best player in a trade wins and that's certainly the case here. It's far easier to collect depth than top end players, it's how I try to structure all my trades and we've seen how that worked out :greggy: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peebo Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Good to see everyone writing off the Texans. We beat the Bungals a few weeks back in Ohio, and that was without our star (only...) wide receiver. I think it will be pretty close but think home field advantage will see us through. The city is buzzing and the atmosphere tomorrow will be incredible. I've never heard any stadium get anywhere near as loud as Reliant does for the bigger games.

I think that game is the closest of the lot to call with the Texans main issue being that at QB. To be honest though, I don't want Pittsburgh arriving in Foxborough next week!

Martin Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Probably Forte for me but either is worth what you paid. My general rule is that whoever got the best player in a trade wins and that's certainly the case here. It's far easier to collect depth than top end players, it's how I try to structure all my trades and we've seen how that worked out In terms of backup or potential starters, my squad is probably one of the better ones but it's possibly the worst starting lineup for lacking almost any players at the top level, mainly as I made bad choices in our original draft. I'm hoping to maybe do the same to get someone else as well. I think the trade was a lot like our Bowe deal that it was good for both teams. A lot of potential going one way in exchange for one player that could make a difference each week, if he can stay healthy and that's a big if. Curious to know what happened with the second trade there. You got back a pick you gave away only hours before? In the original trade I was going to offer 1:16 rather than 1:12 but decided against it. On second thoughts, I decided to try and get it back and offer 2:16 and 3:12 because I wanted to have my two first rounders in the top 12. Hopefully either a better chance of a top quality player, more chance of being able to move up in the draft or more appealing to be used in a trade. Thought it was worth the risk of losing a very late second and fairly late third. Again think it's probably a good one for both teams, although got to make 1:12 count otherwise that could be a huge mistake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
