Boobie!

I'm liking Bryce Brown

EJ should have caught that errant pass from Thad better. Ugh.

O-line needs to give him more than 1 second...

Baaaaaaad holding.

Annnnd I'm liking Mike Williams.

Fred looks slow so far... Maybe he takes longer to warm up in his old age

EJ should have covered Benjamin better. Missed extra point

Terrible redzone offense so far this game... Otherwise the offense is looking good.

Ugh, EJ should have blocked that punt.

I can't believe EJ missed that first down conversion, he sucks. He should have handed it off better. Where's Tuel?!

Lobbyists will just attach themselves to our new representatives, they don't really care who gets elected... most everyone can be bought for the right price. Even rich people.

Going 6-10 is very realistic considering our schedule and questions at key positions (QB and OL).

Absolutely agree. Though, hard work and perseverance don't necessarily guarantee success. That doesn't so much of any good. A lot of lobbyists are former congressmen, or somehow attached. The rules need to be rewritten, and voting people in or out won't change that, when the pool of people running for office largely stays the same. It's a tough situation, because congress writes the rules on lobbying. I'm honestly not sure if there is an actual solution to the lobbying problem. It infects "both sides" of the aisle. I think that's the big divide on the minimum wage issue... the article talks about a single woman who makes $15k/yr needing food stamps. Personally, I don't care how demeaning or simple the job is, the wage should be at the very least, a living wage. There's often talk about how assistance programs hurt this country, or whatever.. but wouldn't a higher minimum wage mean less people on assistance?

Wouldn't surprise me if they switched back and forth during pre-season, the staff giving both guys 2nd team reps, so they can evaluate who's going to be the backup going into the season.

I'd like to see a coaching staff be given more than three years to turn around a team, but I know the NFL demands results right away. If Marrone and company don't make the playoffs this year, I really wouldn't be surprised if they all get let go. I believe we are going in the right direction with the talent on our team, but I think our schedule makes it difficult to show that improvement in our record. So I guess we'll see what happens.

Seems like this is just a list of who has the cheapest ticket prices, more than anything else... What about a list of average attendance? Or average percentage of home tickets sold? Edit: Ah, I read it wrong... this is the effect on ticket sales when the team visits?

Do what any other team does. Start their backup QB, and depending on the severity of the injury, explore bringing another QB into camp.

If we are only keeping two RBs, and the Eagles wanted him, why wasn't he involved in the Brown trade?

Even just having him run a route out of the backfield that crosses through the middle or something would be great. Hit him in stride as he burns a LB and let him be free.

I have to wonder if they are thinking of leaning on Brown hard. FJax has had problems staying on the field the last few years, and I love the guy, but he is kinda old. Dixon, I just don't see as anything other than a short yardage/blocking back.

We sure do like to shed talent...

I don't see why they would trade him, personally. They should do the bulk of their running with FJax and Brown, use CJ as a Bush/M. Faulk type, get him in space, use him as an offensive weapon. Not just run him up the gut. But I guess they have their plan. I don't see Dixon as a real running back, I see him as more of a halfback (FB/TE hybrid)... has Dixon been getting many running plays in camp?

Income inequality only really becomes a problem when access to basic goods, services, and blue collar jobs, becomes difficult. Right now it is getting more difficult for lower classes to put food on the table, take care of healthcare, put kids through school (there's increasingly few jobs that don't require college education). I think if we had a single payer healthcare system, and we reigned in college costs/did a better job of pushing people to trade schools for certain working fields, we'd go a long way towards boosting lower classes. Also, minimum wage should probably keep pace with cost of living adjustments, that just seems like common sense. None of this really requires a giant income redistribution model. Healthcare changeover would go from private costs, to public costs, and end up covering more people (since middle man profit would be taken out of the equation), trade schools and school loan reform would set less 20 year olds back when they enter the "real working world", minimum wage adjustments would also lift strain, while not costing companies too much (price of goods would go up cents on the dollar from studies I've seen). The problem is making some of these things happen would take cooperation from many lobbyists in DC, and frankly that's not likely. So we'll just continue going down this road, and blaming every President in office until something gives.
