All I know is that I am NEVER concerned he's going to drop a punt. That means a lot to me.

I'm sure its been mentioned already...but this draft is stocked with WR talent. If they want a WR they can count on a quality guy being available with their first pick regardless of where that is. I'm sure there will be hits in rounds 2-4 as well.

I don't care who or how we stopped him. The fact remains the same, I didn't even notice him on the field. Not once that I can remember. And that is a win.

I'm glad we got a few extra days of prep time and home field advantage. We are going to need as much in our favor as possible. They look unstoppable at the moment. If it's me I'm focusing on stopping Lamar's running ability first and foremost. Then I'm hoping for a big time performance out of the DTs moving the line and being vital in stopping the RBs. My last concern is the passing game. How to do any of that? Hell if I know.

Cheaper to get cable package with phone than without so we have one still. The ringer is on mute and the phone hasn't been used in over 5 years since I've lived in this place.

However, they are not going into those piles with a lot of momentum, so the actual force probably isn't as bad as getting hit in the open field by a LB.

Botterill needs to go. This team is so outclassed talent wise. How can you possibly be so bad for so long? I miss Darcy and Lindy so much.

It feels like they are spying him way more this season. That could be a big reason he isn't running as much. It's just not as open as it was last year.

High and Dry, Paranoid Android, Karma Police all got pretty good air time. Some other The Bends songs too, but not as much as those three. Pretty much off the air after OK Computer though. Except the rest of their stuff is pretty terrible. One drummer was the son of my grandma's neighbor (they were a Buffalo band if anyone wasn't aware). Not the future Tool drummer, another one. He gave me some sticks when they were in their 15 minutes of fame. It was pretty awesome to my middle school self.

This.

I was commenting on the one-hit wonder comment. Two years of solid play with this year being excellent contradicts that IMO. Of course he will be more expensive.

Except he's been balling pretty good for 2 years now.

I feel like there was a pretty good one in one of the Bourne movies, no?

The Cowboys have exactly zero wins against teams with an over .500 record. Their only impressive win was against a .500 Eagles team. Every other team they beat stinks or didn't have their starting QB playing. They even lost to the Jets. I just can't fathom why so many people are so scared of this game and chalking it up as a L. We have at least a 33% chance of stealing a win there IMO.

Fair point I didn't consider. Thinking back I can definitely understand what you are saying. Louisville's big throw plays were mostly in the middle of the field for sure.

Just stinks that when you rush one of them you lose some of the best cover LBs in the league. The key is to mix it up and keep the offenses guessing. Stay out of patterns that can be exposed with these blitzes.

Paying attention to him during his run at Louisville you could see enormous strides in his passing mechanics from his Sophomore to Junior years. Most notably in his footwork. That was what convinced me he was legit. I thought that while maybe still not perfect, he showed that he could learn a lot in just one off-season which was impressive to me.

Jackson was absolutely tremendous at Louisville. I have no idea why NFL teams didn't see him for the talent he clearly was. The WR talk was completely ludicrous. I had him behind Mayfield and Darnold on my list that year, but ahead of Rosen and Allen (who I, admittedly, had last out of the 5). To me, this was clearly not an RGIII scenario at all. He was thicker and had more arm talent than RGIII. I also was hoping the Bills would stand pat and take him (if he was there) with even their second 1st round pick. Mahomes doesn't disappoint me because I didn't see it from him in college. With Lamar, I did. Now, I'm a big Allen fan and am very pleased with what I am seeing trajectory and improvement wise, but I do catch myself wondering "what if..." with Lamar. Hopefully lots of fun, meaningful battles for years to come.

John Elway is a terrible GM. The only good thing he did was convince Peyton to go there. That was it and that was a LONG time ago. And two of their wins were close games too....they could just as easily be a 1 win team.

Dinosaur - best guitarist of the era, albums are hit or miss for me though. I typically LOVE about 4 or 5 of the songs and pretty much hate the rest of them on every album I've heard of theirs. Stone Roses - excellent first album, don't know the second one. I'll have to give Harvey Danger and Screaming Trees a better listen, only really know main songs. And don't even know My Bloody Valentine or Sebadoh. But I've see your taste before on here which makes me think I'll need to check them out!

Their first album is also a masterpiece and their second album is pretty damn good too. One Hit Wonder 90s bands that are actually really good: Blind Melon, Hum, Seven Mary Three. I don't think kyuss ever had a hit that I can remember, but they are way underrated too. For older and younger folks not familiar: Blind Melon - rock/blues mix. Extremely talented guitar duo. Shannon's voice isn't for everyone, but I love it. Very self-reflective lyrics, many about addiction struggles. Hum - one of the pioneers of Space/Stoner rock. Not going to be for everyone, but if you have the desire to watch videos about space on youtube after smoking a J, this is the perfect background music. Seven Mary Three - kind of similar to Blind Melon IMO. Rock/blues and a touch of country sound in some of their subsequent albums. Their one hit "Cumbersome" is basically the only song I don't like on that album. Kyuss - Heavy stoner rock. Queens of the Stone Age lead man is the guitarist. If you want something to pump you up a bit, try this one.

I feel sorry that you have not had the opportunity to realize just how wrong you are yet. Their first album is a masterpiece.

Psshhh. There is one answer to this question and it is Blind Melon.

30% chance they score a td with 15 seconds left seems way high to me.

Lee Smith is atrocious. He was the first time he was on the team and he still is today. Penalty after penalty after penalty. And they are pretty much all stupid penalties too. Pre-snap. Holding guys when they are already out of the play. Its absurd seeing him on the field still.
