My idea has always been this...

Take Houston, Cleveland, Buffalo and Detroit and stick them in one divison...

[Vendetta]

They could be a bottom feeder in the playoffs.

Brady Quinn was the emergency QB and could've come in in the 4th quarter if Crennel wanted.

But he would've gotten killed.

Now that I think of it, Romeo should've put him in. It would've been like Tim Couch's debut all over again.

[Mofoticon]

Quinn shouldn't play until the home game against Miami if they are up or down by alot. Pittsburgh, Oakland, Patriots, and Ravens all have defenses I wouldn't want to throw Quinn to. I'd rather him sit on the sidelines, read the playbook, watch, and get everything in his head before going out there.

[Evil Chase K]

The offensive line was fine, the QB's either 1. Held onto the ball too long or 2. Ran right into the defenders. Quinn wouldnt do either.

[Lowerdeck]

Also...I found this on a message board so it could all be total bullshit, but I think Belichick's reputation says that when he's not screwing another man's wife, he's trying to do whatever he can to gain a competitive edge, legal or not, so this could very well be true...

According to a Meadowlands source, a member of the Patriots organization, with a credential issued by the team, was spotted by Jets security chief Steve Yarnell shooting near the New York bench. And according to the stadium source, when questioned by Yarnell, the unnamed individual said that he was put up to it by the Patriots.

The cameraman was reportedly accused by Yarnell of shooting the Jets' signals that were being sent by the coaches from the sidelines.

The source says that the NFL is being made aware of this accusation.

If this is true, the Patriots could be subject to a serious punishment from the league office.

Haven't seen it anywhere, so for now we'll call bullshit.

Sources: Camera confiscated after claims of Pats spying on Jets

NFL security confiscated a video camera and its tape from a New England Patriots employee on the team's sideline during Sunday's game against the Jets in a suspected spying incident, sources said.

The camera and its tape were placed in a sealed box and forwarded to the league office for investigation, the sources said.

"We don't have any comment," an NFL spokesman said Monday.

The Patriots' cameraman was suspected of aiming his camera at the Jets' defensive coaches who were sending signals to their unit on the field, the sources said. The league also is investigating some radio frequency issues that occurred during the game.

The league's competition committee could conduct a conference call about the incident, which violates NFL policy, and ultimately recommend a penalty that could cost the Patriots a future draft pick or picks if it verifies that the team was spying on the Jets.

"It's not their first time," a member of the committee, who did not wish to be identified, said.

In fact, Green Bay Packers president Bob Harlan confirmed a similar incident that occurred when the Patriots played at Lambeau Field last Nov. 19. The same cameraman who was questioned by NFL security on Sunday was also the one whom the Packers removed from the sideline and escorted from the field during their 2006 game, according to Packers security official Doug Collins.

"From what I can remember, he had quite a fit when we took him out," Harlan said. "We had gotten word before the game that they [the Patriots] did this sort of thing, so we were looking for it."

A Jets official declined comment Monday, directing an inquiry to the league office. The Patriots also did not have immediate comment.

Weren't you completely anti-Quinn on draft day, complaining about the fact the Browns drafted him?

[Your Mom]

So do you guys think Romo is for real or the Giants suck that bad? Because Romo is my fantasy QB and I think I got a good one

[syck]

The Giants just suck that bad.

I don't believe in Romo until he's played a full 16 game season, then I might believe in him.

[naiwf]

Romo will put up good fantasy numbers, but will fold in the playoffs again. In your case, he's perfect. For a Cowboys fan, not so much.

[JStarr]

Given the way Romo played last year after Thanksgiving (the 5-TD game that I wasted to watch Matt Hasselbeck do nothing but hand off in the snow ), now would be a good time to peddle him. Somebody's willing to bid high, I'm sure.

[Your Mom]

But if I were to get rid of Romo all I have is Vince Young

[naiwf]

Eli has a separated shoulder and should miss at least a month according to ESPN. Call Leftwich and offer him a deal NOW!

[Vendetta]

What's wrong with the back up they have. He played fine...not to mention I like watching a 285 pound lineman throw a football.

[ACCBiggz]

Mike Brown should retire, I'd have to expect him to now. He ruptured his ACL Sunday. Bears also lost someone else to a ACL injury missed the name though.

He put on a gold jacket that said on the back "Future HOF Class of 20??".

[Evil Chase K]

Wow. Sounds exhilarating.
