  1. it has to be bryce brown. Word is McCoy will be out another week and Foles is now the starter so they will ride the rb hard. As for the D is there no better options on the waiver wire? Not to be a homer but the Bills D may be worth a look as with the forecast there won't be much passing and the Rams O isn't that great either. Other D's I may look for are Cleveland (don't laugh they are playing KC and I think the hangover will be great this weekend), and Jets D (vs Jags who are terrible at home). All of them are lower tier D's that I think will have a good week and should be available. Good Luck!
  2. I give the Lakers and Jazz a pass bc the team existed before the location but your point stands. I hadn't really thought about it but you are correct there are many sports names are terrible. Funny enough New York is host two that stand out to me - the Metropolitans and knickerbockers namely. Or how about naming the team after a movie (mighty ducks). Pelicans though maybe because it is new stands out as terrible. It might even be the sport that it is. Can you imagine inner city kids wanting to grow up to play for the Pelicans. Hip hop stars wearing Pelican clothes? Since you're from the area NoSaint is the Pelican prominent in Louisiana to the point of this being regionally acceptable. I know about the nickname and designation of state bird but is the culture aware of these things? Is the Pelican held up like the bald eagle for America? I'm not saying these in jest I'm being sincere as if they are it would make more sense, maybe not nationally but regionally.
  3. I had it dvr'ed and didn't get to watch until last night but here is my reaction: Start of the show had new black characters so I knew the guy from the prison was dying. It seems like they only keep 1 black guy around. When the prisoner joined the group T died, new black people - prisoner dies. Not insinuating racism just funny that the black guy always dies stereotype is perpetuated Seriously Andrea? I don't hate her though I know many do but she couldn't speak up when she saw Daryl? She knows who he is and that they aren't "terrorists." I also don't understand why Merle didn't blow the lid off the whole thing. All he had to do was bring up any of the terrible things the Governor has ordered including the national guard killings, keeping his daughter, and the wall of heads which leads me to my next point. She has no issue with a wall of heads? She relied on Michone who got her to safety after season 2 and was protected by her only to pull a gun on her because the governor was about to be killed? Did she fall that fast and not even question what was happening or why? The talk the governor gave her to smooth things over was not very convincing but for her it was okay? Good episode with a good cliffhanger for the winter break but dammit some of these people are infuriating.
  4. After finding out that the Pelican is the state bird and that Louisiana is the pelican I think the name is still dumb. I thought it was a joke at first and laughed, then found out they were serious and was sad for their fans, then I remembered the name Pelicans and laughed again. Pistol Pete is rolling in his grave because you know the mascot will be Pelican Pete.
  5. From the article: While she may not ever want to film a sex scene again, Hudgens is set to star as a stripper and a prostitute in the film Frozen Ground later this year opposite Nicolas Cage and John Cusack.
  6. Just sayin' It is incredibly obnoxious both in it's tone and what it stands for. It has replaced "I'm not trying to be rude but." Even worse is the misuse of it where someone just mentions a simple statement followed by just sayin'. Yeah no your just sayin' I heard you. #anything # was originally meant to be used for a search function. That way groups of people such as Bills Mafia could see all the tweets and search for them. Now it has somehow crossed over to facebook even though it has no relevance. I just ate an awesome spaghetti dinner #yum #lovemesomeitalianfood drives me insane when I see either of these 2.
  7. KC over Indy week 16 is the only game I think couldn't happen, but thanks for doing this. I have printed out this sheet and will root accordingly!
  8. how much "inventory" is left for this game? Any chance it won't be blacked out?
  9. Alright here we go: Batch's career completion % - 56.6 Fitz - 59.5% Batch's highest yard passing 2489 Fitz - 3832 Batch most tds in a season 13 Fitz 24 Batch Yds/game 135.2!!!!!!!!!! Fitz 191.5 would you really take a qb who throws for about 135 yards a game and less than 1 td a game? Can we put this to bed now?
  10. For all the Charlie Batch lovers I leave you this link. The Ravens mighty D that was "destroyed" by Charlie Batch is ranked worse than Buffalo's! Pitt's D? well that is #1 and may have had a small say in the w.
  11. Run blocking they are an excellent o-line. Pass pro is a bit different though. I see them getting pushed around a lot and I wonder if the reliance on quick hitting passes has to do with this. It doesn't seem like Fitz is given much time to get comfortable. When they give him time is when we see his really good games. When they don't we get the colts game. I by no means think the o-line can be described as bad I just feel they get a boost bc the ball is out quickly. When the Bills played the Giants the comments from the Giants d-line were that sacks against him were nearly impossible because the ball comes out so quick. That is what I was alluding to - sometimes that stat skews people's perceptions.
  12. Here's the thing though, I'm not a Fitz lover. I realize his shortcomings. I realize the Bills would be well served by an upgrade at the qb position. I also realize that there are teams with worse starting qbs. I also realize that the o-line looks much better bc Fitz gets the ball out so quickly. I also realize other than SJ13 he has few tools to work with as far as receivers go. I also realize that other qbs miss wide open receivers. I also realize that other qbs fail down the stretch. As for the Baltimore win you realize they have the 25th ranked D right? They are missing Webb and Lewis as well as Suggs going down. This isn't the normal vaunted Ravens D that he torched.
  13. wow just wow. Well Charlie Batch lost to the Browns so I guess that would be at least 1 win off the board. I really don't want to resort to name calling but :censored: :censored: :censored: :censored:
  14. By your logic Batch, Cassel, and Alex Smith are interchangeable. I'm no Alex Smith fan but you can't believe they are all eqqually as talented. Please explain to me how a 38 year old Charlie Batch is as good as Fitz in your eyes. Please explain what Campbell has done to be thought of as good. Your list has a lot of holes. In your opinion Matt Cassel is better than Michael Vick!
  15. Up 11.5 going into the fourth!
  16. I'm ahead 15 got Bradshaw in a ppr vs. griffin. I'm also ahead enough points for my tie breaker due to some miracles! Need Bradshaw to our score Cruz by 7 in the second half to get the w. for my fingers crossed!
  17. Then it is a completely unrelated crime. Of course it would be terrible but how can you plan on that or use that as your logical thought process. Once they are down and not a threat the legal thing to do would be to call the police and let the justice system work. Now it looks like the justice system will be working against him. The whole other gun aspect is what bothers me. If he had pumped all of those bullets from one gun and quickly I would believe it was self defense without question. His actions during and after leave a lot of questions.
  18. Do you actually watch other teams play? Or do you only watch the Bills and then highlights? To say that only the Jets and Cards have a worse qb situation makes me wonder if you even watch Bills games. Or did Chad Henne show you he was the real deal yesterday?
  19. You're right the Bills could never beat the Dolphins this year
  20. Thanks I fixed it. I'm up and down on Flacco, at home he is usually very good but on the road not so much. Add to that the benefit of playing with the D he does and I have a hard time bumping him. I thought to myself if we put Fitz on their team would they be better or worse and also conversely if their qb came to the Bills would the Bills be better or worse. 17-21 is where I ended up too I had a real hard time with Rivers too. He should be better than Fitz but I just don't see it translate. I wonder if it is the lack of weapons and coaching but it appears something else has been happening these last 2 years. Physical breakdown maybe?
  21. The shot under the chin was what I referring to. I have no problem with self defense in his home but this is your definition of self defense? He put 3 shots into the guy with the last as the kid was laying on the ground looking up at him. The girl got 1 shot put into her then it jammed so he put the gun under her chin and shot her? Self defense to me is protecting yourself against imminent danger not questionable danger, and when the suspects have been shot and incapacitated the danger is over. Add to that he didn't call the police immediately? Like I said I won't make declarations one way or the other on my feelings as there are to many questions and to little information but I realize this is PPP.
  22. He is average imo. I would say worse than him are; gabbert/henne, kolb/skelton, wheeden, bradford (I don't care where he was drafted Rams should have traded him and drafted rg3), tannehill, sanchez, Locker, Quinn/Cassell, Carson Palmer, Nick Foles, and Ponder. On a plain with Flacco, Dalton, and Alex Smith. So I have him clearly better than 11 qbs and on a plain with 3 putting him somewhere between 17-21 which I think is reasonable. Better than him without question; Brady, Brees, Roethlisberger, Manning x2, Cutler, Rodgers, Ryan, Freeman, Early but likely better; Luck, rg3, Newton, Wilson Probably better; Rivers, Stafford, Schaub and Romo
  23. It is a very interesting case because he clearly went above and beyond protecting himself. I can't make a declaration either way but it is one to keep an eye on. My first instinct/reaction is to give him a slap on the wrist. Nobody will be breaking into his house anytime soon. Also the part about a neighbor suspecting he was taking pets was a clear attempt to slant opinion against him. Gossip counts as news now? What happened to the media?
  24. You do understand that Hilton is one of the fastest players in the league right now don't you? I would wager there are only a handful of PLAYERS in the league that can keep up with him. Brooks ran a 4.35 which is more than respectable. Honestly we're questioning the speed of a 4.3 player? This board has become noticeably reactionary. People have become so emotional and upset they are no longer rational. I think takeyoutotasker made a good clarification on his point but my general feeling is people have no f*cking clue what they are talking about. Sad really as this board used to have excellent knowledgeable topics/posters. There is a thread up today about Charlie Batch with some posters saying he is better than Fitz! As an aside and I know wgr gets bashed here I thought he was a good listen. It was only the first 5 minutes of the game but I was pleasantly surprised with his insight and the way John Murphy did the play by play then let Kelso talk. It seemed like a good team to me (again it was very small sample size but my opinion from what I heard fwiw)
  25. Honestly stop it. I'm guessing you didn't watch him throw 3 picks against the Browns? No it wasn't. St. Pierre came in for mop up duty.
