Put Moss on Dallas, Green Bay or the Colts, and any of those teams are undefeated and the odds on SB favorite, provided he plays with the same intensity " BINGO

Wasn't it just yesterday that fans and critics alike debated whether the acquisition of Randy Moss would ruin the Patriot Way, and whether New England's talent haul would end up being a Washington-like attempt to buy itself a title in the free-agent market? Phillips was summed up as just an amiable defensive coordinator who had failed in his previous head coaching stints, a virtual throwback to the Cowboys' less-than-scintillating Dave Campo era. • The Bears still had quarterback problems, but their defense was so superior, so dominating Chicago would be right back in the hunt for another Super Bowl trip in the woefully weak NFC. Terrell Owens was by his very psychological make-up incapable of fitting into a team concept in Dallas, and would inevitably drag the Cowboys down with his me-first approach. In the process, he'd walk all over the easy-going Phillips now that the taskmaster Parcells was out of the picture.

Status: offline 		[quote="Danimal"]Chargers, Bengals, Ravens could be interested in Jason Garrett Sunday, Nov 18, 2007 9:22 am EST Dallas Cowboys offensive coordinator Jason Garrett has emerged as a candidate for a head coaching job in the NFL. According to the Dallas Morning News there are three potential openings that might interest Garrett. The San Diego Chargers are the most attractive with all the offensive skills the team has. There is also the Cincinnati Bengals, who do have Carson Palmer and Chad Johnson. And finally, the Baltimore Ravens, who need an offensive-minded coach. Source: Dallas Morning News[/quote] Did they just figure out that Billick is nothing offensively without Denny? I guess they finally figured out that Stat Boy was a genius the same way George, Frerotte and Bauman were great quarterbacks. Great wide receivers and Offensive line, above average running backs and any quarterback or coordinator can look smarter. I see the Alleged murderer is crying again. Ray Ray go away. I hope people have the balls to keep this lowlife fingerpointing jerkwad out of the HOF.

Harrison hasn't even been Indy's best WR for 2-3 years now. Again, he makes a difference, but not enough to overcome. And let's not forget; in addition to the penalties, the Pats played about the worst they can play and the Colts played about the best they can play, at least on defense. We'll see what happens in Foxboro with a fairly called game, IF the Colts can make it that far, which I kind of doubt at this point.

No offense, but you may want to actually do the homework before making statements like the above. Just a suggestion. :)

If you watch them play, Wayne has drawn more attention and is more gifted at this stage IMO. It's just that Peyton/Harrison have had that connection for so long, or whatever you want to call it. Harrison is not the WR he once was; stats be damned. Football is not all about stats. Too many other variables to only take those into account on their face.

That's rich. Harrison is still Indy's best receiver, anyone who watches them knows how integral he is to their offense. No Harrison is like no Moss for the Patriots. They lost their starting left tackle as well. They had key parts of their team missing, up against a healthy Patriot team, and they outplayed them for most of the game. If you watched Indy and thought that was the best they can play, you're sadly mistaken. And the Patriots played far from poorly. They just met a team that was, despite injuries to some of their best players, as good as them, and they couldn't run up the score. If every team were as classless as the Patriots and their coach, there would be a lot more running up of scores. He loves to score meaningless points, and he's doing it solely out of spite, because he got caught cheating. Frankly, everytime they go for it on 4th down trying to run up the score, they lose more and more respect. Even the players are starting to get it. Moss tells people they need to ask the coach about it. It's low class, pure and simple. I hope karma gets them.

He still gets double teamed, and anyone watching them knows about the connection he and Manning have. He is still a top 10 receiver in the league, easily. If you want to say that Wayne is the better receiver on their team, you can try to make that argument, but it doesn't change what a huge loss not having Harrison in there is. Especially when his replacement, a pretty good Anthony Gonzales, can't even play. They had to plug in a horrible receiver.

Status: offline 		Look, you're free to INSIST that Wayne is a "better" receiver, and yes, Harrison is showing his age THIS year. But come on, you can't actually think, given the stats (and trust me, I'm not a stats man that much) that Harrison was not their #1 man in 2006 and 2007. Is Wayne as good a receiver technically, meaning is he as physically gifted as Harrison? Maybe, although you must not have watched as many Colts games as I have. I watched them every time they were on the last 4 years and I saw Harrison make LOTS more amazing catches than Wayne, who usually had a couple of drops every game. Harrison also gets separation over very short distances like no one else I've ever seen . He is one of the best ever "come back for the ball" wide outs in NFL history, again IMO. And the man is money when it comes to advancing the chains. So, feel free to stick by your guns, but honestly, I don't know what intangible you are evaluating your WRs on. Harrison hardly ever dropped balls, he had the same sideline presence and toe-catching ability as Cris Carter and his knowledge of where the sticks were was almost uncanny. Yeah, he's lost a step this year but I guarantee you the Colts do NOT win the SB without him. Until this year, he was Peyton's "Donald Driver." So, we agree to disagree but I really, in all sincereity, have no idea what you are using as a yardstick except his decline this year, which is really more about the accumulative pain from nagging injuries finally catching up to him.

Let's just ignore all facts in our discussion. What is Peyton Manning's QB rating with and without Harrison? He has his lowest QBr in 6 years this year and in his last few games without Harrison 6 TDs and 9 INTs They also ignore Clark being hurt.

WAY too many other variables in coverage/oline/defense, etc. Baseball is the only major sport where you can fully judge stats.

 Harrison losing some speed really doesn't hurt his game very much. He's such a good route runner, and one of his biggest assets is his ability to read a defense. He probably reads defenses better than most QB's. To say Manning and the Colts are the same team without him is just not true.
