    Tyrus is looking pretty spry and with his usual smattering of boneheaded decisions.

    HOLY CRAP Just heard on the Pitt/UNC game that Meyer is stepping down from Florida.

    I'd say you're like 80% right there. Angelo did get a lot of talent outside of the skill positions in building up the 05 and 06 teams (you don't get that sort of insane special teams and defensive production without really, really gifted athletes) but failed to replace them when age and attrition set in. The offensive coaching and lack of offensive play makers all falls on Angelo and now the defensive/ST aren't there to hide it.

    Disband the team.

    Brilliant inbounds plays Vinny!

    We're in the midst of a scintillating comeback against the powerhouse Knicks.

    Now I'm scared that Salmons will continue to be so awful that he'll have to opt in and try to rebuild his value next year. This guy is the anti Erick Dampier.
  9. SpongeWorthy
    I have a hard time believing we can afford Boozer and Johnson. Then again I don't really know anything about the cap. My understanding is is that if Salmons opted out and Tyrus leaves there will be enough money for one max free agent and not much else.

    It really is a stunning choke job. You could probably hold on to win with a 35 point lead with ~8 minutes in the 3rd quarter by holding on to the ball or just passing it around the perimeter until the shot clock expires.

    Players being ruled academically ineligible is cheating?

    Oh my god. I didn't see the game...how the hell did this happen?

    Great TEs can be incredibly valuable too. Too bad Olsen kind of sucks.
  15. SpongeWorthy
    I think with the right coaching staff, this receiver unit could be good. Based on what?
  16. SpongeWorthy
    What's his contract, anyway? If they won't fire Lovie because they owe him a lot of money... I feel like that's exactly why they wouldn't fire him. The McCaskey's are cheap asses. No they aren't. Lovie, Urlacher, Briggs, Hester, and Tommie are all highly paid. They don't lose their own stars to other teams. Losing star players outright through free agency in the NFL is pretty rare because of the franchise tag.

    This is what you call finding a silver lining in a blowout.
  18. SpongeWorthy
    What a throw.

    They don't have faith in their defense and felt they could catch GB off guard with an onside kick, I guess. It was a crazy call but it was a yard from working. It's always a yard from working. Either a guy gets it 9 yards from the spot of the kick or a guy is one yard short from being able to grab it in the air before a defender can or it goes out of bounds 11 yards from the spot of the kick. I look at it like this. Onside kicks work IIRC 10% of the time so Tomlin was essentially saying he believes his defense had less than a 10% chance to stop GB from taking the lead. I think we can all agree Pittsburgh would have stopped GB at least 1 out of 10 times in that situation speaking hypothetically obviously. I didn't see the onside kick but a surprise onside kick definitely works more than 10% of the time. I'm sure this one qualified as a surprise. The 10% recovery rate is for the vast majority of onside kicks where everyone in the stadium knows its coming.

    None on offense. Briggs and Peanut on defense. Maybe Wale or Harris.
  21. SpongeWorthy
    Aaron Rodgers is a fantasy monster.
  22. SpongeWorthy
    Anyone still think the receivers aren't a horrible, horrible unit?
  23. SpongeWorthy
    It was obvious Mason was not very good. He was awful. You know what guys do? They respect your ability. You can be 90 years old, but if you can go out and play, they'll respect you. Mason was not only a guy, he was terrible. OK? There's no other way to say it. He couldn't kick the ball through the uprights.
  24. SpongeWorthy
    He has many "skills" problems. Terrible feet, inaccuracy, on top of being a dunce cap. He needs a coach that can build him up from scratch.

    Hester lost a fumble against the Bengals.
