Imperfectly stated. Way to ruin the moment.

Perfectly stated.

Being a fan is cheering for them to win. Being a homer is predicting them to win against all odds. At least that's the distinction to me.

I'd rather be in victory formation

Isn't that how we beat them in 2011? A lot of tipped ints? I forget.

I pulled the stats from pro football reference, feel free to check them out. Like I said, I grabbed the top 40 rbs by carries per game, then sorted by ypa, to cut down on the sort of thing you're concerned about. Fact is, our RBs are productive, even Shady with his bum hammy for the first few games of the season.

Can you really blame anyone?

I put the game at 95% chance the Pats win, I watch for the 5% chance

Wow, incredibly sad, but also somehow heart warming? Best wishes and condolences to the Flutie family.

Hopefully he throws his back out while talking.

Drats. Could really use his explosive pressure up the middle.

What's the word on Kyle Williams? Probably out still?

I took a look at the top 40 RBs in terms of attempts per game, then sorted y/a, and what do you know, two of our guys in the top 10, nice! Also, lots of old dudes in there. Name Tm Age Y/A Karlos Williams BUF 22 6.20 Ryan Mathews PHI 28 5.70 Todd Gurley STL 21 5.50 Giovani Bernard CIN 24 5.50 Jamaal Charles KAN 29 5.10 DeAngelo Williams PIT 32 5.00 Adrian Peterson MIN 30 4.90 Le'Veon Bell PIT 23 4.90 Lamar Miller MIA 24 4.90 LeSean McCoy BUF 27 4.70

It's just so they can tear us down if we lose to the Pats.

I didn't classify Holm as a brawler. Rousey is a grappler who learned how to brawl, she brawled against a couple of her previous opponents (Correia, etc) and won, which inflated her ego to the point of "I can do anything my opponent can do, better". She entered the fight with Holm trying to out box the boxer, as I said, because of ego. It was poorly written on my part, I admit.

McCoy is definitely playing at an elite level since getting healthy, and even when he was hurt he was playing at a "good" level. I'll take a couple years of elite, and a couple years of good. By the time he's done, the cap will be insane.

That's good news. Gives us plenty of time to evaluate his worth.

What's the deal with TT's contract anyways? I remember it being a little weird based on if he was starter, or something?

I love this.

Ego, imo. Ronda brawled with a brawler and kicked her ass, in her last match. I think the best in the world stuff got to her, and she thought she could beat the boxer at boxing. I have to assume she'll approach the next fight with a significantly different strategy that involves swallowing her pride and focusing on her strengths of grappling and submission.

I'd have to recheck, but I think there's a team at .500

Yeeeeuppp. I was concerned, but also understood he's a rookie, and then regular season shows up and he's playing like a probowler.

Hey we don't generally do too hot in primetime!

And the really frustrating thing is, he looks like he could play another 5+ years the way he's going. Hopefully whenever he retires, we have the pieces still to actually win the division

I go back and forth between 2-1 and 1-2 over the next three games. I voted for the optimistic view, because our team is better (on paper) than KC and Houston.
