I think hes referring to the Americas game programme where the day before the SB in practice he couldnt catch a cold in a freezer in the arctic circle and every single member of the Giants was taking the pish, just a shame he couldnt do that on the day

Meh!

Watched the Rams America's Game episode the other day. Very good. Within 10 years we are in the state we are now.

We were never really any good until the early 2000`s, sure we had a SB in 96 and in the 80`s but I think it showed how weak the AFC was at times, especially when we got whooped in both! 13 NFC winners of the SB in a row says a lot . I just read somewhere that the Rams have a reached an agreement with a new majority shareholder so maybe things will start to lookup a bit? www.nfl.com/news/story?id=09000d ... nfirm=true

The Americas game programmes are excellent ,i recorded most of them to my sky plus last week and I am slowly working my way through them.They've done a follow up series in the US,i think it was called Americas game-The lost rings or something like that where they go through the season of the superbowl losers,hopefully Sky will show them at some point.

There used to be an Americas game website with them all on with loads of other stuff including team line-ups and stats from the season e.c.t, but It wont let me enter the website, I guess now that they are selling them on dvd they dont want people to get them for free , unless its just my computer? ag.nfl.com/

=#8040FFThere's been a few missing rings episodes on, I watched one about the Vikings a month or so back, you know when the kicker didn't miss all year then missed in the championship game against Atlanta costing them the game.

Interesting I will have to try and get hold of them, theres only 5 ATM apparently but I can see them making a 6th about the 07 Pats season



1 1981 San Diego Chargers
2 1969 Minnesota Vikings
3 1990 Buffalo Bills
4 1988 Cincinnati Bengals
5 1998 Minnesota Vikings

=#8000FFIt's been filmed/has been filmed I read it's Brady, Rodney and I can't say I'm sure but I think big Vince featuring on it.

Are you sure? they are only making them about teams that have never won a super bowl !!

=#8000FFSure I read it somewhere

unless it was a crap rumour or sort of "if they were to make..."

If it's for teams that don't win couldn't they make 4 for the Bills and a few for the Colts?

The Colts have won 2 super bowls



Poor Bills fans though 4 in a row must be heartbreaking

=#8040BFI'm sure they could make an exception for the Colts

I think it's an interesting point that only that many have done that (and Eli deservedly gets the respect for it (even though i don't like him)), but i'd rather have my QB win it in the other 58 minutes rather than leave it for the last 2.

The America's Games episodes are excellent. However i have no sympathy for the Rams. It's your own fault for not building a good core of young players ready to take over when the older guys retire. Thankfully that is something i think Ted Thompson does well for us and he usually takes players that won't strart straight away but eventually repalce veteran starters a year or two later. Eg. Aaron Rodgers to replace Favre. Jordy Nelson/James Jones to replace Donald Driver (eventually), TJ Lang to replace Chad Clifton. BJ Raji as the long term NT etc.


Also i'm conviced you guys don't actually want a QB ever:

Chris Long (poor) when you could have had Matt Ryan
Jason Smith when you could have had Mark Sanchez
Adam Carriker (poor) when you could have had Brady Quinn (admittedly he hasn't panned out fully)

When you neglect the most important position in the NFL (financially and in playing terms) every year and have nobody to build around you deserve to be bad.

Its not that easy stomping out perfection Conroy my good man.

Antonio Pierce has been released. It just strengthens rumors that were going to go after Rolando McClain in the draft. The entire LB coprs needs changing in my opinion. Weve had a great tradition over the past 85 years of having great linebackers from Huff in the 50's to the crunch bunch(Kelley,Van Pelt, Carson, Taylor) in the 70's and early 80's then we added Reasons and Carl Banks in the mid 80's. Any decent LB's knocking about in free agency?

I don't know what games you've been watching Conroy but Chris Long is most certainly not poor. He was one of our best players on defense last season along with Lauranaitis. He had two men blocking him in many of the games and he is very good against the run.

Smith has only played for 1 year so you can't judge him yet, especially given his lack of game time and Carriker could still come good and again has had injuries but showed promise in his play on the field at times.

Yes we need a QB but we'd still be one piece short somewhere else if we hadn't drafted one of those guys. The QB's listed have far from stamped their authority as franchise guys yet anyway. Ryan suffered from a second season slump with Atlanta and Sanchez led a team with a dominant defense and had a very good running game to the playoffs. You can bet that they would have had little success as well so far, had we drafted them.

It would be interesting to see just how many QBs have needed to lead their teams down for a winning touchdown, I cant see there being as many as people would think with a lot of games being more than a 7 point deficit in the end!

Something every elite QB would be trusted to do if needed surely?, oh and Eli Manning too

Brady couldn't do it against us?

=#8040FFDon't think anyone would have been able to against that pass rush, the D line stepped up BIG TIME that game



Could see Pierce ending up in New England if he doesn't have ridiculous contract demands, he's a good leader and would get the D organised and would compliment Mayo at ILB very well.



=#8040FFKarlos Dansby & Barrett Ruud are FA's, McClain might be gone by the time the Giants pick, but Spikes would still be on the board.

No thanks he rubbish and well past his sell by date IMO

=#8040FFHe might be past it, but BB likes his vets, and cheap ones who offer something, Pierce offers leadership that was clearly missing this season, even if he's only a 2 down player he would be good for a year or 2 because he's better then Guyton & McKenzie is an unknown because he was IR'd this year.

He's led us in tackles the past few years and wasnt to blame last year. I like the idea of him going to New England, would be a great pick up. Im really hoping that Pery Fewell can re-ignite our defence next year, rumours are that we are going into a tampa 2. If that doesn't work, I hope the rams go 0-16 and spags returns.

=#8000FFIf the Giants go Tampa 2 then Ruud from Tampa would be a logical LB FA pickup because he's a good LBer considering who he plays for and is very well suited to the Tampa 2 from what I've seen.
