    Spags, We hate the Jets as much as we hate New York style pizza (that's a lot).

     

    NY style pizza is pizza!  Chicago style is awful.  It's basically a lasagna or a casserole with the name pizza slapped on it.  So, we hate the Jets as much as we hate Chicago Style Pizza, or anything that Pizza Hut, Papa John's, etc. calls pizza.

  2. Not taking anything away from our team, but sometimes the better team doesn't win.  The luckier team does. 

     

    Both are top team in the NFL, but I think Baltimore was a little better for the most part.... BUT, as others have said, games are lost more than they are won.  Baltimore took their foot off the gas, Oliver made a play to spark our offense and Josh & Co. snatched victory from the jaws of defeat.  We certainly got lucky with some plays (tip TD to Coleman, the game winning FG wasn't blocked, the touch back, the non INT), but we also got screwed on some PI calls and of course the Josh 1st down slide that wasn't.  I think we had better luck in key moments and both our O and D did what they needed to in those key moments. 

     

    Ravens win this game if they would have stayed concentrated, not take their foot off the gas and should have gone for it on 4th and 3.  Those were their mistakes and they cost them the game.

     

    We're 1-0 and have a tie breaker.  It's a good day. 

  3. As you all know, we didn't play most of our starters in pre season.  Other than the opening drive which was scripted and the the defensive stop holding them to a FG on the Ravens opening drive- we stunk for the majority of the first half.  The drive before halftime was ok, and although we let the Ravens answer our scores in the 3rd quarter, we seemed to play a bit sharper as the game wore on.

     

    Now, we all know that the Bills under McBean are a bit Jekyll and Hyde in week one, do any of you think that if we would have played our starters more in preseason, the game wouldn't have gotten this out of hand?  The Ravens rested most of theirs and they looked good most of the game- but obviously a different coach and a different team.

     

    This is what I was telling myself when we were down late in the third and to start the fourth.  Pure cope on my behalf I think.  Just wondering what you all think.

    That's me every time I see a highlight of the Norwood kick.

    McDermott is pretty milquetoast and not a very inspiring speaker, but it hasn't seemed to matter before. I think that element of coaching might be overrated at the professional level.

     

    Yeah it's not a strength of his, his lie elsewhere. I suspect players respond to his consistency and approach.  And although I don't know how he is one on one- I get the feeling he's good behind closed doors, face to face when talking to individuals.

     

    He's caring, genuine and process (lol) oriented and that goes a long way with players I think.  Plus, hard to argue with results.  While it hasn't resulted in a SB yet, we've won more game in the last 4 or 5 years than I think all other teams except maybe KC.

    They basically allow you to defer your service owed to the army if you have a pro-sports contract with a qualified league. You still have to serve but it can get deferred for some time. Previously the army/navy was pretty strict with it, David Robinson had to do two years (I think the commitment was/is 5 years but Robinson had grown to 7 foot 1 during his college days and thus was too tall to serve on most ships so they lowered it to two years) after getting drafted first overall by the Spurs in the NBA draft. 

     

    Since 2016 on and off (I think it was put into place by Obama and then rescinded by Trump and put back in by Trump, seemed a bit messy) but codified into law in 2022 you can try your hand in the NFL for a bit of time and then do your 5 year commitment afterwards. So yeah you still owe the time so to speak but you can pursue a pro-sports career before you do your time. 

     

    Thanks for explaining that.  It would be our luck that the guy turns all pro and then right as he peaks, he has to go and fulfill his obligation to the Army!

    Massive nerd! Welcome to the club. We own the world!

    It's funny, but there is truth to that!  Being a nerd during my formative years- even if I didn't see it at the time and hated being uncool, shaped me in ways that that have benefited me immensely later in life

    Pedigree (n.)

    A fancy word deployed in conversation to imply deep lineage, expertise, or credibility. Typically used right before they say something wildly incorrect or name-drop their cousin’s roommate’s dog breeder.

    You don't think our WRs have very high floors?

  9. Don't want him. He's boom or bust.  We have more than enough boom. What we don't need is bust.  

     

    Our WRs even if they lack blue chip pedigree, all have very high floors.

     

    Davis also lacks high end pedigree but also has a very low floor.  Guy was never on the same page as Josh.  

     

    He is literally subtraction by addition!
