If I give you ten dollars, would you run all my log rank statistical tests?

Is the pay log-based?

[pbmax]

you added that part about Green before I could!

Sorry. Sometimes edits don't look like edits in this board. I should have left it. Knew someone would pick it up.

On top of Yo Flacco!s impending salary increase, Terrell Suggs is due $13 million next year, too.

Goldson does not want to be franchised for a second time.

While Patrick Willis, Ahmad Brooks and NaVorro Bowman have struck lucrative, long-term deals in recent years, Goldson still is looking for his. He made it to the free-agent market two years ago but did not find any takers. Goldson wanted to be among the top-paid safeties in the league at that point, and he instead was forced to accept a very modest one-year deal with the 49ers in 2011.

"I was in this position before and it didn't work out the way I wanted it to," he said. "And that happens."

Goldson said the 49ers gave him the courtesy of a "heads up" before they announced the long-term deals for his fellow defenders. But he said he felt he was deserving of his own long-term contract and the security it brings.

"I think that guys that got deals done were deserving," Goldson said. "It was a little, like, 'Wow. Ok.' But I had to stay focused on what was more important, and that was the team and getting to the Super Bowl."

Their "Pending FA" list also includes Delanie Walker and both of their NTs.

Their NT's are the worst players on their DL and Delanie Walker seems to have as many bad plays as good.

Goldson is a pretty sweet prize though.

The TT era has been a nightmare for reporters as they are in the dark all the time. The result is speculation and analysis, which is very different from journalism.

My advice to beating physically superior teams is to become physically superior by moving from the left of this graph to the right.

Notice where the "physical" 49ers, Seahawks, and Vikings are on this graph.

Well now, maybe the Pack needs to steal the S&C staff from MIA, 'cause it's clear something is out of whack......

Bob's a journalist. I have a Master's degree in computational biology, basically data mining/modeling/programming with huge, messy data sets.

Holy Computational Biomodelling, Batman! Check out the big brain on Yoop!

The guy can't be from the Upper Pennisula.

Guess he was sick of being the smartest guy in the whole 1/2 state.

Building a modern dynasty is working within the cap and finding the right players to beat the best teams.

Overall the Packers manage the cap well but do not have the right players on the defensive side of the ball to beat elite teams.

Their defense certainly has been lacking the last two years, but as recently as 2010 it was fairly decent, which makes their recent performances all the more confusing.
I think the loss of Collins has been huge for the defense. He covered a lot of mistakes made in front of him, prevented a lot of big plays with his speed, and made impact plays.
The injury to Williams has also hurt. It has made him into a different player the last two seasons.
Woodson has declined significantly. It was inevitable, but still hurts
They really haven't had anything but role players at DL for a long time. They got away with it in 2010, but it has been exploited by teams the last two seasons.

There could be help on the way. I have hope for Perry, for some reason not really clear to me. I have a feeling he and Matthews could become a dynamic pair.
Hayward looks to be able to make up for some of the loss from Woodson's decline.
With good health (a long shot, I know) Shields and House might make up for the change in Williams, who could lose his starting job in 2013.
I should know better than to think this, but Neal just might salvage his career yet.
Hopefully Bishop returns as the player he was when he was hurt, although I'm not convinced that it will happen that way.

They need improvement at MLB. They need a dynamic, impact player at safety. I don't think they have one on the roster right now, so they may need to go get one. They need at least one well-rounded DL, and can use as many of those as they can get.
