  1. Me too but I don't think Vick's legs are in great shape. He says he's 100% but I don't think so.
  2. Stifle the big plays, shadow Vick. It works. Eagles really need stuff downfield, especially now.
  3. Yea, run your slowest back to the edge. Good call.
  4. Blitz or not, they simply lack the ability to stop Rodgers.
  5. That's it. Eagles don't have it in them to win this. SEA/CHI GB/ATL
  6. Well, I really don't want my players to be rooting for the Packers. That just becomes bulletin board material for the Seahawks. I want my players talking about how the Seahawks are really a great team in disguise, and how they've really improved, and how we know we'll have our hands full, yada yada yada.
  7. Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. Do all football TV crews have that play on speed dial or something? Interestingly, there's the 2nd player I've seen awarded the ball back on the tuck rule -- both from the Belichek family of players.
  8. I don't blame them for being excited. And they've been running that operation with much worse than Orton for the past several years. Who knows? I'll just say if I was a fan of team that resembled the aftermath of a nuclear holocaust for the past several years, I'd be pretty excited about the possibilities right now.
  9. Well, that certainly skews things drastically toward the Raven side of the ledger...
  10. Chiefs need to start finishing drives with points. This is exactly the kind of game the Ravens are comfortable playing, and winning.
  11. Much is made about how tough a town NY is in terms of media. After watching the situation for many years, I feel quite comfortable saying Chicago is actually a tougher environment. Chicagoans have a culture of blaming their own teams for failures and assuming the worst of their players & coaches until proven otherwise. They look within for problems. I've noticed this is quite different from many other towns, where fault tends to be found with others, and the hometown team is given the benefit of the doubt.
  12. It was the umpire down the line who made the TD call right away, and everyone saw it except Hammond. Which pretty much proves he's watching the active TV feed and nothing else. That umpire wasn't on the active TV shot that was being shown. Even the guys in the truck saw the TD call and turned on the TD graphic. It was a lazy moment for Hammond, and while I don't watch much ND football, I can only assume it's not a one-off incident with him.
  13. Pretty good piece on OTL this morning. Jim Joyce -- the umpire who blew the call that would have given Galarraga a perfect game in Detroit -- was profiled. He mentioned things like "it's almost worse than when my Dad died," and showed letters that he gets (and his family) even to this day about how he's going to be shot when he travels to X town, and what not. Beyond discussions of how stupid people who make death threats are, it's amazing to think of how easy it would have been to spare Joyce and his family the pain of having their lives overturned for one split moment of bad decision-making. There's a real cost to not having replay in baseball. I think Joyce is a good look at the price that must be paid -- wrongly to be sure -- for human beings being human in a world of stupid people. Here's a link to the OTL article: http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/otl/news/story?id=5993137 By all accounts I can see, Joyce is a really good guy. He's never going to be able to move past this thing. That's pretty unfortunate, and it just strikes me how easily we could remedy the situation, and yet nothing is done.
  14. Packers win Go Packers. I changed my FB status to officially rooting Packers :) All my Packer fan buddies immediately responded. This is going to be kind of fun.
  15. Great playcall! :hello: Yes, let's take our QB who is struggling to throw a simple screen pass and have him throw a bomb with the game on the line. We'd crucify Martz if he did that.
  16. LOL, WUT?!? Hahahah.
  17. I feel bad for him. That's got to be the loneliest feeling in the world.
  18. Bonehead of boneheads. Whua.
  19. I'm picking them to win next week in Chicago.
  20. Sanchez can't even complete a freaking out pass along the line of scrimmage.
  21. One thing is for sure: Jets/Colts is indeed a snore compared with Saints/Seahawks. This game is terrible. Someone DO SOMETHING, Jesus.
  22. Alright Bear fans, you want the Hawks or the Eagles? Pick your bird. The Hawks would look to be the easy team. But tell that to the Saints. And they've already beaten us once. In Chicago. The Eagles might seem to be the tougher draw, but they've looked very average when Vick hasn't been stellar. And the Bears have already shown they can beat them. I guess I'm a Packer fan for tomorrow. I've got to believe the Bears wouldn't allow the Hawks to beat them twice at Soldier Field -- not when they're a 7-9 club.
  23. That makes pretty much no sense. There's no reason this move needs to be for only next year, and there's no reason Garza needs to be a once in a generation hurler for someone to want to offer 4 prospects for him.
  24. Oh, Tatupu could've ended it right there.
  25. Seattle just penalized themselves out of 3 points -- which would have forced NO to score 3 times to tie. Hmmm......remember that one.
