  1. That's an autocut in my book.
  2. Okay, defense. Four-man rush, soft zone, two- or three-deep. Let them get 20 yards if you have to, but don't let them get behind you.
  3. People I've heard that phrase from: 1) My high school math/computer teacher and now... 2) You.
  4. touchdown...touchdown bears?
  5. I think he had rolled out just enough to be "out of the pocket" ball bounced well before the line of scrimmage If you are talking about the play I'm thinking of, it bounced right next to an eligible receiver on the ground.

  7. If they'd been blitzing on third down from the beginning, the Packers wouldn't have 17 points.
  8. The next one wasn't dropped :(
  9. With better linemen on both sides of the ball, I think you'd see the rest of the roster suddenly look a lot better. Yes. Not going to make Kyle good enough to be a solid NFL starting QB. Not going to make those craptastic receivers passable. But yeah, if you replace what? 5-7 lineman out of 22 starters? Sure, the team would be better. Two good offensive linemen and a good pass-rushing DE. Suddenly you'd see the defense dominate again the running game would be adequate and Orton could go back to getting credit for wins he didn't help create.
  10. This needs to end quickly so I have time to catch the end of West Indies-New Zealand test match.
  11. You only need to fix 1 of those 3 to win the NFC North.
  12. With better linemen on both sides of the ball, I think you'd see the rest of the roster suddenly look a lot better.
  13. With what you have to pay for draft picks these days, I'm not too upset about mid-first-rounders.
  14. He's never had that deep ball even when he was on and healthy. But, let him throw bad pass after bad pass and you hear nothing, yet Grossman can't take off his head towel without being booed. Orton's no better. Never has been, really. It's the Adam Dunn hate mentality. Certain types of failure are okay, others are unacceptable. Striking out is bad, grounding out is okay. Having poor control is a sign of mental problems, having poor velocity isn't. Being inconsistent at QB is booworthy, being consistently bad is not.
  15. Hey look, a blitz and a positive defensive play. Who woulda thunk? Let's see what happens on third...
  16. It's still possible for them to come out with a good second half. Perhaps, I don't know, not play zone defense with a four-man rush on every single third and long?
  17. In honor of what the Vikings will do next week: http://www.theonion.com/content/infograph/worst_ever_nfl_playoff_chokes
  18. Votto's a decent hitter and a first baseman. I'm going with "really not a big deal" more than "the real deal." Bruce will probably be a very good player eventually, but yes my argument was that he won't be anything special in the 2009 season.
  19. I agree, but the team to watch out for is Cincinatti. With Bruce, Votto, and Phillips making up the heart of their lineup for years to come, and if Volquez has another season anything like last and Harang can be good again, and Cueto can have a breakout season, they could be legit contenders sooner than later. Didn't see it last year and I don't see it this year. Votto is better than I thought he'd be, but Bruce won't be anything special next year and Phillips never will be. They might make it to .500 next season if everything breaks right.
  20. Oh, yahoo, you make so much sense: "4th-31, Minnesota 11 M. Birk rushed up the middle for 22 yard loss. M. Birk fumbled. T. Jackson recovered fumble" Bad snap?
