      This would be awesome. Just constant trickeration for the rest of the year. Have the team practice every crazy-arse play he, and they, can think of. Just go out and play schoolyard football. Cut loose and have some fun. 80% of the plays wouldn't work (if they're lucky - it's the 'Skins, so it could be closer to a 98% failure rate), but it would be interesting to watch.

        Of course.

        How classic would that be? Imagine someone pompous like Joe Buck announcing that! Oh the hilarity!

          Even better if he has Romo and or Barber on his FF roster and calls plays that give up giant chunks of yards to them.

            Two RBs, Two WRs, and one RB/WR.

            Marion Barber, Jamaal Charles, Mendenhall.

            Bench: Steven Jackson, Jerome Harrison.

            WRs: Randy Moss and George Wilson (safety but has WR designation and has been wracking up huge points)

            Bench: Mike Sims-Walker, Robert Meachem.

            What do you guys think? I am sorely tempted to start Jerome Harrison over Mendenhall.

              Same question (current lineup in bold):

              Barber, Benson, R Williams, Peterson

              Meachem, Rice, Chambers, Gibson



              TBA - there's a dude at ESPN.com saying don't start Harrison with a pretty lengthy explanation.

                I think you're fine, except for maybe Gibson over Rice.

                  This requires explanation. I'd find that EXTREMELY hard to believe. Perhaps equally to the suck that was his GM career but he can't possibly get worse! He WROTE THE DARN BOOK on BAD GMing!

                  As for the trickeration nonsense...

                  THAT would be awesome!

                  And, yeah, I agree that it's not necessarily Zorn's fault. The team has no healthy talent and the rest just suck.

                    Matt Millen is bad but my vote would be for Bryant Gumble. At least he was one the worst play by play announcers ever.

                      Hmmm... an interesting comment.

                      Matt Millen - Doesn't know what he's talking about but was a GM which leads people to believe that he knows what he's talking about despite not knowing a darn thing.

                      Bryant Gumble - Not knowing what he's talking about but can fake it good enough to convince himself (but no one else) that he knows what he's talking about despite not knowing what he's talking about.

                      Despite the circle talk the answer is clear: Put them both in the same press box and then implode the stadium they're currently in.

                          So everything I can find on-line suggests I start Rice and Ward and not Meachem and this comes from at least 4 different sites. I realize CHI and BAL are not that good, but MIN has another night road game and people keep harping on Favre not liking the cold. Plus NO plays TB who are worse than BAL and CHI. I dunno, maybe NO doesn't go all out for 4 quarters while Rice/MIN and Ward/PIT go off trying to gain momentum?

                            Does anyone understand why on a close play a team doesn't line up and immediately kick the XP?

                            What exactly is the point of lolly-gagging?

                            I guess I like the way Belicheck does it, he runs to the line to either make the team challenge without knowing for sure if its worth challenging or gets the XP kicked.

                            Thankfully Rivers was judged to be behind the line and it ended up costing the Titans a challenge and a timeout.

                              Chargers win 42-17 in Tennessee, locking up the second spot in the AFC and a first round bye.

                              Tennessee is eliminated from the playoff race but remain within grasp of finishing the season at .500 which before Young's first start seemed impossible.

                              Indy
                              SD

                              Only two AFC teams have clinched playoff spots. Bengals can clinch a playoff spot and the division Sunday and so can the Patriots.

                              I'm not sure if the Broncos and Ravens can clinch a playoff spot with a win but I think its most likely they both will make the playoffs by winning this week.

                                the fact that den plays kc and bal gets oak in week 17 means you are correct.
