    One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh.

      Did Detroit trade for any? Actually did anyone trade for any?

      Edit: Detroit did trade for a DB. Johnthan Banks

      Here's the whole list of trades for the entire 2016 season.

          The Browns wouldn't have traded Tramon back to us, say halfway through the season?

            Sorry for thinking out of the box.

              Waters and Hawkins look to be every bit as good (or bad) as the few that were traded. Vince makes a great point about the number of CBs needed in the league. There's just not that many available. That's why a #1 corner like Shields is such a luxury and why our pass defense has been dramatically worse this year compared to years past.

                I'm sorry. I should have credited Patler with the number of CBs needed by teams in the league.

                    At least you have a suggestion...
                    Tramon became a $7 million benchwarmer this year for the 31st ranked defense that gave up more TD passes than every other team in the league. And his benchwarming cap hit is $7.5 mil next year.

                    Plus he had foot problems early in the year. I'd guess the Browns would have LOVED to get out from under that non-performing, overaged, overpaid, no contact, damaged goods, bad free agent contract. Taking on these kind of deals is what makes the Browns the Browns and the Vikings trophy case collecting cobwebs.

                    I'll take Hyde, Brice, Evans, Gunter, Randall, Rollins and Burnett in the slot all day at this point over non-performing expensive has-beens.

                    You gotta love Tramon for what he did for the Packers but those days are gone - except that the Browns are still paying the piper - for what he did in Green Bay no less.

                      You convinced me, Vince. I trust you know what you're talking about. Accordingly, I will not back off of my Nov. 28 prediction that the Packers will win the Super Bowl this year!

                      Go Pack Go!!!!!!!!!!

                        How the Giants can defeat the Packers D without needing to find Eli Miracle Manning.

                        It's time to talk about how poorly Eli Manning has played this year and what the Giants need to do about it if they want to beat the Packers and advance in the playoffs.


                        Short version: change entire offense.

                        Bonus McCarthy coaching tree: McAdoo does not have their bad TEs stay in to pass block much. Perry/Matthews/Pepper/Jones/Eliot/Fuckdoggle should have a field day with their bad tackles/
                        Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

                          Pansy assed, no outdoor practice, no hitting, no tackling, soft 'n small Packers practiced outside today. Weather in GB was -1/-17.

                            That sounds encouraging. They've beaten some good teams despite their shortcomings on offense. I think they'll try to control the clock and keep the game close.

                            The Packers getting out to their patented 1st half lead and forcing the Giants to try to do what they haven't done very well seems like a good prescription for success.
