The title is a bit of a joke based on a thread from a few years ago when we were 4-1, largely resulting from a large turnover differential in our favor. It will be clear to me that anyone who responds with some numbskull comment about 15 seasons of sustainable losing did not actually read the post. It seems many here are ready to throw in the towel (or have already done so) based on one half of football where three separate players caused three costly turnovers. This leaves a sour taste in my mouth, and it doesn't bode well that the team completely self destructed in the first half. With that said, IMO it is very unlikely that we will see these kind of ball security issues (at least at this level) continue. And if you take away (or reduce) the turnovers, I think Saturday's game looks very different, and maybe the panic / hysteria is slightly reduced? I'm not saying it's good that we had so many turnovers, I'm not saying we should overlook the loss, or the way the team seemed to fall apart after a few bad plays, although I did take some comfort in the fact that they seemed to rebound in the second half. I'm not even saying I'm optimistic going into this season. I am saying it's usually not as bad as you think after a loss, and it's usually not as good as you think after a win (or even when you're 4-1.) We'll see where things shake out, but I'm not ready to give up just yet.

So are you expecting three turnovers by our offense in the first half of every game this year? Cause yeah, that would be tough to come back from.

There should definitely be a Mighty Taco tie in promotion where 5 TFLs (TacklesForLoss) in a game get you a free TFL (TacoForLunch) with game ticket.

I guess I shouldn't be surprised that the actions of WBC come across as bizarre, but a couple of questions come to mind. 1. Why single out Buffalo as filthy / perverted? Is there something cool happening that I don't know about? 2. I know they're from Buffalo, but if you're picking us as your target, is picketing a GGD show really the best way to go about it? Trying to find sense in the actions of WBC was a big mistake.

Good to see you back, and glad that you're enjoying fatherhood. I agree that it's the best.

Seems to me like he looked and had time, but saw the db coming and decided not to throw (or didn't make a decision in time.) I fault him for the fumble, not the decision not to throw.

Didn't want to start another individual thread on what went wrong yesterday, but it seems pretty obvious to me that without the 3 turnovers (only one of which was EJ's fault) and penalties, yesterday's game would have looked completely different. Sometime those things pile up in a single game, I'm glad they recovered in the second half, and hope they come out on fire when it counts against the Bears.

choose your own adventure

Booooooooooooooooo (That's for Bon Jovi, I'll wait until the regular season to start booing Doug Whaley.)

Anybody want to change their vote?

This game has been an ice bucket right on the old gnards.

Where is Spags at?

I didn't have any luck finding the rules, but I think in order to get him right to IR they would have had to keep him on the 53 man roster into the first game, then afterwards they could put him directly on IR. It's similar to what happened with the 6th round rookie the Patriots claimed after being Injured / Waived a few weeks ago.

I would be absolutely shocked if any team is willing to give up any draft pick for Graham. I can think of very few teams where he would be an improvement.

A pox on your house, sir.

Can she play guard?

Too bad he's not better at it, I would buy Jeff "Duel" Tuel dueling gloves.

And he would have gotten away with it too, if wasn't for those darn Redskins.

I think that basically is what the article is saying. Donate money based on your values / feelings research, not necessarily a fad like this. My feeling is something that gets people to donate money to charity is mostly good, regardless of how many old coots it brings out of the woodwork.

Has anyone been challenged to a duel yet? Cause otherwise this is 4 pages of horse ****.

forbes blows

It's more like a shortcut.

What part of get off my lawn don't you understand, whippersnapper?

If we keep going the same direction, eventually the league will change course and we will be way ahead of everyone.

Sure, which means the extra millions of dollars were a complete waste. Now get off my lawn.
