    the game wasn't on here so i had to follow on-line, but this was a big point made on the post-game show on comcast. they seemed to imply that the offense was much better when Kyle was calling plays at the line and certainly implied, without outright saying, that he called better plays than Turner. of course this wouldn't surprise me, but i'd like to hear everyone's opinion on that. My initial opinion is that Turner sucks and should be replaced. Just being honest. But......to try to be fair, Turner doesn't know what the defensive alignment will be when he calls the play from the sidelines, and he's also at least partially responsible for training Kyle to be able to make those calls at the line. So, I guess it's good preparation as well. I'm just glad to finally have a QB who is making these play calls. I would have to go back to the tape to confirm it, but I really don't think Rex was doing it (or at the very least, not doing it very well), and I don't recall many of our other QBs faring well with audibles either.

    Agreed. It only took 6 players for Cabrera AND Willis, and they both had pretty friendly contracts. Beltran's contract being off the books would free up the money for the Mets to fill some of their other holes. He's good enough where the Mets shouldn't have to eat any of his contract, but both of those factors mean the Mets will not get full value for Beltran. I think they would be satisfied by filling a couple of their holes cheaply. I'd probably give up a goodly amount to get Beltran.

    If you're looking for a silver lining, I guess look no further than Kyle. If we wind up an 8-8 team but finally find our QB after 20+ years of searching, it's not a lost season. Orton's looking like a guy who could actually be that solid QB for the next 10 years. He engineered a game winning drive yesterday that was as good as any we've seen in this town. Nothing rattles him. His accuracy seems to be improving. He's tall in the pocket, and steps up to avoid the edge rush. I also find it interesting that it *seemed* like we started moving the ball in the 2nd half when Kyle started calling audibles. Yes, I'm going there -- Kyle calls plays better than Turner.

    A squib kick will likely result in a chance for one play that'll need 20-30 yards for a FG. A normal kickoff return will result in much tougher field position plus there's a good chance more time lapses off the clock during a kickoff return. Provided you can cover the kickoff, which they failed to do the previous kick.

    Hahah. OK, see? I wouldn't do that. I would have mercy.

    Lovie confirms the squib kick was at least partially a product of the 85-yard return the time before: Yeah, they'd have a chance for one more play. So why do you play your CB up on the damn short route Lovie? Why do you cover the guy who will catch the ball at the 50 instead of covering the guy streaking into FG range? Gameplans. In-game tactics. We're failing in these areas.

    It's a weakness of this team that they don't have the up front blocking, and you saw it big time on that goal line possession late.

    Denver suddenly looks very beatable. Aren't they making a habit of fast starts followed by slower finishes?

    Great win for the Cards. I guess certain members of the Cowboys' STs don't think it's all that high a priority to block people on punts.

    Finding Lions fans might be an issue.

    I know. Average fan won't care though. Well on 2nd thought do Cardinals fans/media really lay into their coaches?

    I'm actually glad the Bears don't play the Cards this year. They look pretty good.

    except im on the other side now!!! Seriously, shut up. +1. Seriously. uh why, this is not a bears message board. yall would talk the same to me Ice, Let me help you out here. While really and technically you aren't breaking any rules, I'd suggest treading lightly. When the Cowboys whooped the Bears hiney 34-10 last year in week three, I tried to stay out of thread as much as I could. Not because it was against the rules, by why piss off half the board that I normally like to discuss baseball with. It's not against the rules, per se...just common courtesy. This. If Cub fans were over on a Braves board whooping it up in the face of a Falcons loss, I'd say the same thing. It's common courtesy. If you don't want to do it, fine. But people will remember... ooh terrifying grow thicker skin, it's a football game and his team won, he's not dancing on your mom's grave. people will remember. hahaa Ok Ok, maybe that was a little too far. When the shoe's on the other foot, I don't see such a thick skin on others either.

    I saw that on the final pass play. That clock did NOT start as fast as it should have.
  22. Soul
    It's 3 times dude. This team suddenly no longer knows how to seal a game. They just.........forgot how to do it.
