don't be surprised if the Pats keep him.

Not going to be able to unless they plan on getting rid of Brady in the next two years.I'm sort of thinking you are retarded.

[WoolyGoat]

I didn't say it's going to happen, just don't be surprised if it does. There are lots of things in play here.

[BIRD33]

Like?

Can they pay him the money another franchise will be willing to pay him?

Isnt keeping him a clear indication that Brady is done since Cassel would have to play within a year or two or it would be a waste of money?

[Anhil8tor]

they'll franchise him and trade him before he signs his contract

[BIRD33]

Since Bradys probably done for 2009 do they keep him for another year some how?Why would Cassel want to do that?Its better for him to be the established starting QB at a new franchise.

Everyone's last memory of Brady will be getting his ass kicked by the Giants and spygate.

and he'll take his championship rings and spend the rest of his days relaxing on some island with the hottest woman on the planet.


I'm just saying his recovery might be more behind than anyone thinks. Brady's always had a mind for things beyond football. Maybe he won't want to come back and play like an asshole for another 4 or 5 years.

Will that be Asterisk Island?Don't worry once she realizes she's with a guy most known for cheating she'll leave him, you watch.She's a star fucker.He leaves the league she's done with him shortly after.


Are you coming from Tom's point of view on this?How do you know he's got a mind for other things besides football?He needs to come back and win another one or his legacy is tarnished for everyone who doesnt live in Boston.

I think he wants to get into politics at some point. Other than that I'm just speculating. He strikes me as more of the Barry Sanders type than the Brett Favre type; more likely to hang 'em up too soon rather than too late.

[BIRD33]

Politics?Um Mr Brady when did you know the Pats were using illegal video tapes of the defense to help you win and why didnt you come forward once you knew?Shortest political career ever.


I don't think he'll last as long as Favre but you underestimate the damage spygate did to his national reputation.He knows this and he probably knows he needs to win a legitimate one to save his legacy.

he was the NFL MVP last season w/o the "benefit" of video taping. I think his legacy is just fine.


how about Belichick's legacy after what he did with the hand he was dealt this season?

[snarg]

how many games did the bellicheats win against teams with winning records??

Of course you think his legacy is fine your up his ass.The rest of the world thinks cheater when his name comes up.I think you know this.Can you brag about the patriots anymore to someone who isnt a fan of them without Spygate coming up?

Belichek has never made the playoffs without using video tapes once during the year.Its a fact.

[WoolyGoat]

how many games did the bellicheats win against teams with winning records??

dude they won 11 games in the NFL after losing their MVP qb, their #1 rb, their #1 safety, and their best linebacker. and they did it with a qb who hadn't started a game since high school.


how many games do the colts win if they lose Manning, Addai, Sanders, and Brackett?

They had one of the top 3 easiest schedules in the league and they lost to every decent team they played.Kerry Collins might win the AFC, Joe Flacco and Matt Ryan are playoff bound so don't act like what Cassel did was that big a deal.

he missed the playoffs so obviously it's not a huge deal.

I'm just saying, pick any other team in the league, take away their top QB, RB, S, LB, and tell me how many games they win.

[BIRD33]

11 games sounds impressive on the surface but when you look at their schedule its not at all.I wasnt aware that the Pats used their RB that much.You still had one of the best WR's in the game and the rest of the team thats left went to the superbowl last year.

I'm not saying they didnt get screwed by winning 11 and not making the post season but they almost couldnt lose 7 of those games if they tried.

Bills owner cites continuity in bringing back Jauron for 2009

NFL.com Wire Reports

Dick Jauron is one coach whose job is safe. Buffalo Bills owner Ralph Wilson announced Tuesday that Jauron has been retained to coach the team in 2009.

Wilson relased the decision in a three-paragraph statement after meeting with Jauron on Tuesday near the owner's home in suburban Detroit. No details of a contract were given, and Wilson did not say whether Jauron received an extension beyond next season.



Jauron, in the final year of a three-year contract, coached the Bills to a third consecutive 7-9 record, a disappointing finish for a team that opened the season at 5-1.

"It is well known that I share many of the fans' dissatisfaction with our offensive game management," Wilson said. "That being said, I believe that this team, at this time, is better served by continuity in the coaching staff rather than a disruptive overhaul. The team played hard all year long and there are many positives to build on. This is not to say that we will be complacent. In my discussions with Dick and our senior football people the issues are recognized and I am confident they will be addressed.

"I believe in the last few years we have gotten close personnel wise and look forward to another strong draft, more assertive veteran leadership and continued improvement from our young quarterback."

Jauron also met with Bills chief operating officer Russ Brandon at the team's Orchard Park headquarters, a person familiar with the meeting told The Associated Press. Jauron and Brandon then flew together to Detroit, said the person, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss it.

Buffalo's season ended with a 13-0 loss to New England on Sunday. In losing eight of their final 10 games, the Bills went 0-6 against their AFC East rivals and failed to make the playoffs for a ninth consecutive season.

Jauron has been the target of heavy criticism for the Bills' meltdown, and was particularly faulted for the team's numerous on-field blunders. The Bills earned a reputation for botching scoring opportunities this season, including a blown chance at a field goal before time ran out in the first half against New England.

The Bills showed improvement on both sides of the ball compared to the 2007 season.

In quarterback Trent Edwards' first season as a full-time starter, the offense scored 10 more touchdowns than last year and gained 4,882 yards -- the most since 2002. On defense, the unit allowed nearly 600 fewer yards than last year and in seven games held opponents to 16 or fewer points.

Bills defensive coordinator Perry Fewell and the rest of the defensive coaching staff are signed through the end of next season, as are first-year offensive coordinator Turk Schonert and most of his staff.

I guess Shannahan is now at the top of most teams lists.I wouldnt go with him but the Lions, Browns and Jets could do worse.I was really surprised when I heard they canned him.

Was Tribal crying himself to sleep last night or what?

[who]

elway must want to get into coaching

[BIRD33]

Denver has to be the most attractive opening since they have Cutler.After that its probably Detroit because of all the draft picks the cowboys gave them plus if you win 4 games next year you are a genius.
