    That's going to be a fantastic pick up for whoever gets him, arguably the best G in the league. Madness.

    :D desean going to the skins and then mathis going to the giants would be heartbreaking not to mention the fact that it would be just about as perfect a pickup as there is for ye outside of a tackle

    I know they have a banner for each year they made the playoffs but its still ridiculous.

    Why don't they put up a perfect attendance banner while they are at it:

    Big difference between a banner celebrating something that's been done only 4 times in 80 years and something that's done 4 times every year!

    Not really though. The Pats are the only team to ever go 16-0, so in that sense it is a very unique achievement.

    i agree that there very different things and that its a far more impressive feat but i wouldn't be putting it up if i owned the team. for me its the type of thing you hang within the building on a wall or in the team hall of fame ala a player holding an nfl record

    I think that wouldn't do it justice because in the 37 years since the NFL switched to a 16 game season, it has only been done once. It might never be done again, so it's only fitting to have a banner celebrating that in the stadium. Hanging it out of sight in a team meeting room doesn't seem right to me anyway.

    Could be reading too much into this, but it doesn't sound like Peyton is a huge fan of Kubiak's offense :pac:

    Nice to see David Wilson still competing and to see a few Giants out to support him too:

    Speaking of the Giants, what are the chances that Odell Beckham lights up the NFL again like last year with a healthy Victor Cruz to cut into his production this time around?

    I feel like he's being hyped to the nines and it's only a matter of time before he comes crashing down at least a little bit.

    I don't see Cruz being back, despite the word coming from the Giants at the moment. That was a horror injury.

    Beckham will be fine either way, you can see he's a natural talent and if Cruz is back then that should give him more space, no?

    Oh I agree it would give him more space definitely. Defenders would have a nightmare trying to keep the both of them contained for long periods of time.

    I just think that if Cruz is back healthy to any extent, it will take away some of Beckham's targets which is only natural.

    Two potentially elite receivers on one team with an Eli Manning-caliber quarterback (don't know how else to describe him really) throwing the ball...could be interesting. Or laughable, depending. :D

    As a Colts fan, I find some of the banners we hang to be a total embarrassment.:(

    eagles qb at the time randall cunninghams 91 yard punt (i believe its still the longest punt in nfl history it did take a massively lucky bounce however)
