If there was any lesson learned from last year, it's that they have got to close things out and lock down home field advantage when it's staring them right in the face. To not close out home field last year with virtually a 2 game lead with 3 weeks left was just ridiculous.

And had we beat NE in the playoff-game we would have regained the home-field advantage with the Ravens for the AFC championship after the Broncos lost their playoff-game to them in Denver.

Texans traded Maehl to Philly for OL Nate Menkins.

I'm guessing Wade Smith's injury is more serious than is what is being told.

They tried to sneak Menkins thru waivers last year to put on PS, and didn't work out. Glad to see they got him back without costing them anything. Maehl wasn't going to make this roster.

Question

Thought I saw comment where 1st, 2nd and 3rd string OL did good against Vikings.

Maybe Maehl will have a better chance to make team in Philly.

And picked up free agent OLB Elliot Coffey to replace injured frierson on 90 man roster.

Three interesting things out of training camp to see what happens

1. DeVier Posey likely back to practice off PUP next week. Good.

2. JJ Watt wants to play on goal line offense. Big target.

3. Keenum may play after Schaub against Miami. Even out plays.

the fact that posey is back this quick is really amazing. wonder if he will be close to the same player this year as he was at the end of the season last year?
