Dropping form 2nd to 9th didn't prove anyone right.

They just got what they paid for.

When you dont have a QB that can challenge ur defense that drop is going to happen because they focus on the run and dare the QB to throw. What the OL was able to do in the run game was pretty incredible

Cracks me up when fellow fans think you are "cowboys bashing". Lol. When your parents or siblings tell you to get your act together because you're being dumb, are they bashing you? Nope!!! Unlike you, I have high standards. The simple fact that our team can be compared to the sorry Raiders, proves my point. JJ is compared to Al Davis every day. What does that say? Would it satisfy me to be to a championship game? It would be a heck of a lot better than we've had in almost a quarter century. Not completely satisfying, but more satisfied than I've been. Hard to admit what? That the Raiders suck? Easy! Just like we do!! That is unless you don't think that 40-40 in the last 5 years doesn't suck.

Murray didn't price out! The money that JJ gave the great players like Jed Collins, Jasper Brinkley, Andrew Gachkar, Keith Rivers, and Corey White was more than enough to keep DM , Durant, and Carter. If you add Christine Michael, Robert Turbin, Rod Smith, Joseph Randall, Michael Hill, Ben Malena, Lache Seastrunk, Gus Johnson, and Ryan Williams to that list of a great running back by committee, We could've paid Murray what he wanted and had added cap space. You seriously can't argue that we had a good RB philosophy last year. Your idea of DM being priced out doesn't hold any merit of you looking this list of guys we paid for.

So now the Raiders are a train wreck like us? Fair enough. I thought that was your "point". That we were a train wreck and the Raiders weren't. Fair enough. We agree on that.


Demarco Murray sucked last season. Let him go. All of those guys you are missing sucked last season and have already been cut or let go.

I think the team's RB philosophy was clearly to get by with McFadden and add a RB in the draft but they missed out on the draft picks they wanted. But that said, DeMarco cost Philly $10,000,0000 last year for 702 yards rushing. McFadden cost Dallas $1,150,000 for 1089 yards rushing. The Dallas RB philosophy was that anyone could run behind our line and they were right.

Ask Tony and Dez if they would've rather had DM or DMC . Just a couple of weeks Ago Dez was trying to get DM to come back publicly. Heck, it's even been reported that Dallas was trying to trade with Philly to get him back. Why, if it didn't matter? I'll tell you why, because just "running" isn't all that matters. See Tonys shoulder about that. Regardless. Of how well DMC ran behind our OL, no teams we played had to game plan around our running game like they did the year before. If Tony went down in 2014, we still would win because we were sooooo balanced. Teams feared our running game. Who feared it this year with DMC and company?

Ask Tony and Dez if they were willing to give about four million in salary each in order to sign DeMarco in 2015.

DeMarco is a better back than DMC but he isn't even close to being worth 5 to 10 times as much in salary. And if Tony had gone down in 2014, the season would have looked exactly like 2015 did.

He didn't go down.. Why Not? Perhaps he had better protection from a back who could do more than block...

Not only were they right but they proved the running game could hold its own even with well-below-average passing game.

They held their own so well that teams stopped thinking of us as a running threat. Defenses had to

Or they allow us to run, as well as DMC could, and completely shut down the pass game, like everyone did....

He' ll sign with he steelers if he really wants to be on a contender. He might also sign with the Raiders since he is in the middle of building a house.
