Around the NFL (Week 2)

How can Tiki be a hall of famer when he didn't maintain HOF caliber play for more than 4 or 5 years? Had he played 2 or 3 more years and padded his stats a little, then maybe, but there's no way he gets in. To steal a line from Peter King, "Hall of Very Good, not great."

yeah tiki could've had a case if he'd hung around for a few more years and racked up some stats, but he shouldnt go. he wasnt elite by any means... and the comparison to young is a little skewed... Young was a backup to a HOFer and when he got his shot he consistantly performed.

remember, when coughlin got the job he brought in Ron Dayne to have a competition with tiki... not because he wanted to motivate tiki, and not to be the number 2 back, but because they didn't believe tiki could be a featured back. Then, he takes the coach that made him into a pro bowler, retires early (announcing it in mid-season) publicly hanging him out to dry... and writes a book about how he was the reason coughlin had a job and if coughlin wasn't there he'd still be playing. another classy move by a giants player.

If you can make a case for Tiki, you should go ahead and make a case for Lavar... he had 4 good years too.

I didn't feel like reading this whole thread, but is it just me or did the Cowboys look pretty bad despite the points the Dolphins just handed them?

Unfortunately I'm gonna have to go ahead and disagree with you, yeah. I watched most of that game and the cowboys offense (when barber is in the backfield) seemed to really click. I hate to say it but romo made some impressive throws and it seems like he depends on TO enough that I'd be a bit surprised if there is the major melt down that we've all been hoping for.

At the same time, their defense isn't all that good. Trent Green looked like he needs to ride off into the sunset, because it seemed like a half way decent QB could have at least kept that game close.

I thought Barber played well, but didn't Romo miss like half his throws? The ones that were off were WAY off. The Dolphins dropped at least 3 INTs.

I think it was a little of both. I think the Fins were playing them tight, then imploded down the wire.

I don't think it was an impressive victory at all.

You get rid of him when you have a good replacement...in case you missed it, Brees is kinda sucking this year.

Well I'm going off his whole career. Yes he's not playing well this year but the previous two he did play very well. I'm just not sold on Rivers. You want to talk about sucking?

Now that I think about it, I really only watched the second half, when their offense was clicking, so I can't really say how he looked in the first half.

I'm retarded. :(

Pats are that good. And Norv is that bad


AJ Smith is going to be kicking himself for a long time for letting Shott go. This guy goes 14-2 and you dump him for Norv Turner?

Classic case of arrogance if you ask me.

And how. :D

Seriously though, it looked easy because the Dolphins were giving them a thirty yard field to work from.
