  1. my point is we're also a different team if you have a QB accurate enough to consistently convert on 3rd downs, or if we have a QB with a quick release/play recognition to avoid the pass rush, which Hill gives us i guess i'm a little down on Stafford compared to his inflated perception in the media right now, but he's still barely played a full season's worth of games for his career and just 23 so i'm not saying i've lost hope long-term, either
  2. prideofdetroit:
  3. it doesn't sound like it, but i'm not too worried either way Linehan's conservative playcalling recently has effectively moved us to a dink and dunk offense, which suits Hill much better anyway
  4. per FO, Indy has the best chance at 0-16, with 1% likelihood it's not something that should really even be possible, unless your team is coached by Rod Marinelli with Millen as the architect
  5. it's Dan Orlvosky time!
  6. Stafford is annoyingly inaccurate when he gets any type of pressure on him so many bad missed tackles; that's the reason we lost this game
  7. i don't think OU is going to cover the 29 point spread
  8. http://oi56.tinypic.com/vhw6ja.jpg
  9. that game was an instant classic
  10. Gerald Laird as a PR is a concept i'm not quite sure i can grasp
  11. YESSSSSS and what's that, no Freese or Berkman? pity.
  12. watching TLR-managed games is just the most interminable exercise
  13. and wow, another insane play by Andrus and Kinsler
  14. If memory serves, FJM really went after people who kept playing up grinderball as the reason they won, and ignoring that they hit 200 home runs. Yeah, they said they won with small ball and without power but they had 200 HR and 4 200 IP starters with ERAs below 4. and all four well underperformed their FIP; point being that defense was never attributed to their success and the aforementioned players were pretty divisive figures
  15. he's not going to just roll over though that's mostly due to physical limitations
  16. You know what would really cut down on the repetition if you can't keep up with the pace of the thread? Going to a news source for news instead of asking on a message board. or suicide
  17. they combined for 3.4 WAR in 185 innings, hardly Gibson-esque their ERAs were so great because they had some great defensive performances behind them: Rowand +17.2 Scotty Pods +8.5 (or, +11 runs better than Carlos Lee) Uribe +7.5 Crede +5.5 Iguchi +4.1 knowing what we know now, the sportswriters who got routinely blasted by FJM and the like for propping up these guys (the focus was always on their lackluster OPSs) it appears were actually pretty much right in the end (also re: Pods' baserunning), romantic ruminations on bunting aside
  18. yeah, espn nfc south blog posted that, but it doesn't make any sense at all Tampa's allowing just 4.4 ypc on the whole (are opponents losing yards on all runs left?), and looking at PFF, the only teams to actually have any success running to the right on TB were Min (14/72) and SF (17/72), while every other team was held to under 3 ypc when running right against them Bennett and McCoy are both reputed as fantastic run defenders too
  19. i vividly remember somebody talking about it on ESPN saying "he squeezes all the toothpaste out of the tube" which i now realize was only a metaphor for his effect on elbow and shoulder ligaments
  20. Their '06 team was pretty bad. Can't leave the '05 White Sox out of that discussion either. what is this lunacy, they won 99 games that year
  21. Petition for smiley Ricketts/Epstein/Hoyer to be the new troll face. u mad, rest of baseball? http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lkfs7wTE2a1qja9e5o1_400.jpg
