Game 1 - Indianapolis Colts @ BEARS - 12:00 PM

That would be a really strange argument to try and make. They were elite and they took a significant step back from elite. They missed beats. Why would anybody try to pretend otherwise? -
It needs both. They need super starts a hell of a lot more than they need more average players. There's plenty of average guys already here, or easy to acquire in a hurry.

Game 1 - Indianapolis Colts @ BEARS - 12:00 PM

How can you possibly say this? They went from an elite defense to just about average in a hurry. Then they ticked a bit higher again but are still not close to elite. They very much did miss several beats. They are very susceptible to the pass and have been for a few years after once being virtually impossible to throw against since you wouldn't get much yardage or would turn it over anyway. If you're judging their pass defense from last year, it was actually pretty good. Teams passed a ton on them, mostly because rushing was futile, but they held opposing QBs to a 79 rating. This all considering they played Rodgers and Stafford twice, Brees, Rivers, Newton, and Vick once. Their pass and overall defense in general the past 5 years compared to the couple years where they were elite. They missed beats, they've missed multiple beats. -

Eh, expectations are high, Vegas over under for wins isn't that much and most people still have them 2nd in division. Definitely not highest they've ever been. I think the line was 9.5 last I saw. Luckily I got 7 from a colts fan. -
the whole "can't divide by zero" thing?

good timing on the live look-in

Not sure where you get that impression... I'm liking Jackson and Castillo plus obviously Castro and Rizzo, but the rest of the lineup is meh and the rotation is far away from making the team competitive. I still think Vitters will be a decent player and soon. Plus I'm not convinced that Theo and co. won't improve the big league team as well. Improvement on this team could still leave it in very horrible territory.

he misses his foreskin

You spelled ridiculous wrong. I said, it's a possiblity he will never play football again. Possiblity. That's two years in a row of season ending injuries. If you think it's a given that he comes back for sure, you are the one being ridiculous. Actually you said 'quite reasonable' which to me is a lot different than 'possible'. He said it's quite reasonable to say it is a possibility.

He missed his last college season and his first pro season. It's probably a good idea to never expect anything out of him. I don't really buy into the idea of injury proneness. That's nice.

Played well enough to get a job somewhere, I would think. Def. That's why we had to go with Blanchard for the practice squad. They'd never be able to keep McCown there. By rule they can't put McCown on practice squad, right?

This was a pointless post. He sucked at GM, I don't care how good of a gym teacher he was back in Florida.

FBs aren't very useful.

You're really trying to pass this off as not being utter nonsense?

Comparing football and basketball is asinine and there is nothing crazy about sudden death in football.

He helped him up. They both laughed and held each other for a while.
-
Sudden death isn't awful and the people who get their panties in a bunch about it are misguided. You also completely missed the entire point and glossed over the problems with how a football game would be played under NBA rules. The rules don't "easily allow" for a game to go 5 quarters. It's actually kind of hard to do.

I open to overtime if there's a good way to do it. I'm just not super convinced there is a good way. I've never understood why football does this differently than pretty much every other sport. If it's tied after regulation, play another period. If it's still tied, repeat. Doesn't seem that complicated to me. Well all sports do it differently. Plus there's very obvious reasons why they don't do it that way (it would be a horrible idea). Basketball scores change every 20 seconds, football does not. Timing for television is paramount for the entire business plan of the NFL. The equivalent of 19 inning games is an impossible thought for football, both for timing of the game, and the physical ability to have the players play.

It was brought up in the Vitters/Jackson callup thread.
