Don't you need soft hands instead of stiff ones to be a good receiver.

I wonder if Shanny learned Darth Hoody's skill to take things like this and blow them out of proportion to give the team more motivation.

Last time williams stepped up, cruz went 70 yards in the opposite direction. So Madieu needs to take a couple of steps down/back

Nice...

Gomes isn't afraid to smack a guy in the mouth, maybe MNF will be his real debut.

I have a hard time believing there's no "consensus" opinion at this point, and probably months ago, among the specialists. This is the kind of thing I wish was more public. Has he been told the surgery is the best option but still refused? I think in those albeit rare cases salary should be forfeited and added back to cap space.

That's encouraging. It was thrilling to see how Garcon played against Dallas. His toe injury has probably gotten a little better.

Fined only 30K for this, while he ended the dude's season? That should have drawn a suspension to say the least.

Ross Tucker was talking about this hit this morning on Sirius and made, what I thought, were two good points:

1) suspension/fines have to be based on intent/action, not on what the opponent's condition is, because a legal hit can often have be just as damaging- he expressed it more clearly

2) Jared Allen may not really have ever had the new rules clearly explained - certainly they wouldn't have drilled the new rules in, simply because his position group rarely deals with that specific style occurrence. How many times do defensive lines practice INT return drills?

Re: Around the NFL ... Week 13 edition
 

Reminds me of the Clifton/Warren Sapp hit. Its cheap and should be a suspension. Goodell has no clue what he is doing, the model of inconsistency.

The intent here is to hurt. The launching of his body at the opponent's head. The forearm and extension upon impact. Not knowing or understanding the rules is no excuse at all. He hits people all the time. Had he done that to a QB, he knows he would have gotten at suspension for it.

I won't. He's a great player, just made a mistake. Let's not act like he is Pac-Man. Before his suspension he was a legit late 1st early 2nd round pick. If he is there in round 3 or 4 which I believe he will be I pull that trigger.

Made "a" mistake? Are you kidding me?....lol He's made about 4-5 now if you are keeping score at home. He's a "great" player in college. He won't be a great CB in the NFL. At best, he'll be a SS in the league, but certainly not a CB.

I have him as a SS in the NFL, and yes he made a mistake. Shit happens. The kid can play. Simple as that, if you don't wanna take a 3rd/4th round "gamble" that is fine, but players in the NFL have done much worse and weren't crucified for it. So why are we throwing stones at Mathieu?

Did you watch that game that Thanksgiving night? They deserved that trash talk from the fans after that display. No sense in grown men being paid vast sums of money performing like that. None. They owe fans their money back after putting that type of performance up.

I think for all the sh*t that team talks and including its coach. Its well deserved.

That being said, I could never do that to the Skins or embarrass myself by doing that. I may boo, but never curse and scream like a complete idiot.

Personally I find it soothes my nerves when I can flip the bird to a passing car or 2.

Matt Bryant kicks 55 yarder to put falcons up by 10
Hopefully they hang on
Matt went to my high school,tiny town in tx,he's younger than me,I graduated with his older brother

While another huge screwup but officials. I heard the whistle blow just like in Redskins game. Officials huddled up don't know what they're going to do
