  1. Part of why they have a low points allowed is their ball control offense.... at least imo.
  2. Our offense isn't, but our defense is.
  3. Nowhere did I attempt to be an authority on the subject. I am not an expert in any field, by any stretch, nor am I an authority. I do have my own personal experiences, education, and opinion, though. If there is some minimum requirement on education for this thread, please direct me the documents that state so, so that I may review them and decide if I want to comply, to participate, or go elsewhere. Doing worse according to which metrics?
  4. I was under the impression that it's largely based on ideas from the Heritage Foundation (and then supported by various conservative politicians), and similar to work done under Romney in Mass. If I'm wrong, feel free to correct me, I'm not an expert. And political sales pitches are always bull ****. Left side, right side, whatever... a capitalist system with a couple more regulations here and there, and some subsidy availability is not an overhaul, it's an adjustment. It appears most here have had negative experiences with the outcome of the law. Mine have been "business as usual", and that's not good enough. I want to see America join the rest of the modern world.
  5. Miami has really turned a corner. Their defense is stout, and it seems like their offense is getting a hang of their new system.
  6. No way would we win such a game. The NFL wouldn't allow it, and frankly our team would **** itself like usual.
  7. Please be some miraculous OG that none of us thought about.
  8. Hey, if it hasn't worked for you, that's fine... I'm not making **** up about my personal experiences. I had to change insurance providers to get the same price, but I actually switched to a provider that I prefer, so I'm ok with it. Also, of note, I'm relatively young, and healthy, so I'm not attached to "my doctor", and I don't have prescriptions to worry about, so I have no clue if those prices went up or not. For me, the ACA has worked well... going in for a general check up doesn't cost me anything, when it used to. Prices went up every year for me, until this year. The only change this year, was that my company gave us access to an insurance exchange, whereas before they chose the company for us. Competition is good, I think both conservatives and progressives can agree on that. No clue if ACA is what caused my company to take part in an exchange, or if it's simply more profitable for them. Anyways... "Obamacare" is kinda funny in that it's based on old conservative ideas, yet when Democrats implemented it, it became a "progressive idea"... yet, speak to most progressives, and they'll tell you that this is a bandaid at best, and we really should implement a single payer system. (which has it's pros and cons, as we've seen here in debate) This whole subject kinda created a large divide over what's relatively small changes.
  9. My out of pocket rates stayed about the same, my service is the same/better since preventative visits are covered in full, and my company is contributing less. Thanks Obama!
  10. Record of teams on upcoming schedule: vs KC (5-3) @ MIA (5-3) vs NYJ (1-8) vs CLE (5-3) @ DEN (6-2) vs GB (5-3) @ OAK (0-8) @ NE (7-2)
  11. It's only Monday and I'm !@#$ing pumped and nervous as hell.
  12. The Bills win was a fluke, clearly.
  13. I shouldn't be surprised that we are... but Jesus man... no respect.
  14. Lol... probably. That got a good long laugh out of me.
  15. Yeeeeeeah... I'm just gonna assume no matter what our record will be, we're toast. The AFC is freaking stacked this season.
  16. Indeed indeed. Maybe we'll surprise and finish 11-5 or something
  17. Yeah, we are not winning the AFC East this year. Best we can hope is to sneak in the wild card. Which will be about impossible with San Diego, Miami, Kansas City, Cincinnati, Baltimore, and Pittsburgh all fight it out.
  18. I'm thinking the bolded. They've been on fire lately... I think their systems are finally clicking.
  19. Ugh, firstrowsports forces users to turn adblock off, so many popups.
  20. Damn. Hopefully it goes smoothly, and Jimbo is healthy in 8 weeks!
  21. Great article. Love the kid's attitude. Really hope he can grow into the role. Most QBs don't start off immediately great, or even good. EJ's stats weren't too far off of many now great QBs when they were rookies, so I'm not about to say that EJ will never be anything. For right now, he's a pretty decent backup QB compared to the rest of the league, with a high ceiling.
  22. Damn, sucks for him.... but admittedly kinda hilarious
  23. Maybe we should take this info from the link, post at least just the teams, (more info at link) and change the title of the thread to "Week 9: Who to root for"
