Abuse of power.

In moderation, sure. I seem to recall a national outcry to stop using salt....not anymore. I also recall a 20 year debate on butter....not anymore. What most fail to appreciate is the fact that "Genetically Modified" foods involves nothing more than taking one "natural" organism crossing it (or selecting the best natural genetic traits) with another "natural" organism to yield a new product that can withstand drought, shade, intense heat, water absorption, best colors, sizes, resistance to slugs and pests, etc. No chemicals are introduced into the product.

The title is misleading...I was picturing Gugny in a car with a passenger (sayyyyy, someone from Ohio for instance) and the passenger was the one who caused Gugny to lose control.

I didn't see a PPP thread on this topic but it is all over Facebook, message boards, etc. It doesn't appear there is any middle ground on this debate: either you don't mind having fresh vegetables from the grocery store, meats from the supermarket and an occasional box of Triscuits, or you eat Quinoia shakes with fresh goat milk, homegrown brussel sprouts from a raised bed filled with fresh organic manure and unleavened bread. If you challenge someone who claims GMO's are poison, they look at you as if you are the devil. The truth is...many of the vigilant Ban-GMO crowd are really sheep, following in the footsteps of friends and relatives who have likewise fallen into the "natural foods" trap. http://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2016/01/27/most-shoppers-dont-understand-natural-food-labels/79346088/

The vial of blood had a small needle hole in the top and, from what I understood, the DA had the right to take a small sample of that blood to get Avery's DNA profile to match against the blood in the RAV4. Anyway, the biggest problem I see is the blood spatter issue: not one iota of blood spatter anywhere in the bedroom or garage. Weird.

Not bad.

The scenario (in our case) is a kicker who is generally "money" from 40 yds out but, for some unknown reason, has choked 12-15% of the time at the 30 for an extra point. This entire thread has to do with our scenario which is why I added that I want to keep Carpenter for field goals but use the 2 pt conversion more often (or always). Also, does anyone think we can convert Schmidt to a kickoff specialist like Pat McAfee? Not sure if the Bills have tried it but it certainly could free up a roster spot.

I'm not sure you limit it to just Roman...league wide the 2 pt conversion percentage was 53%. That would be a number that could be improved upon (dramatically) if Roman spent a good amount of time on it this spring and summer. The offense is already in (mostly)...this Summer we should spend more time of becoming the league leader in 2 pt conversions.

Yeah, the Giants game is a bad example. If anything, Roman would be the kind of guy I would have faith in to create a nice 10 package series of 2 pt conversion plays. Tyrod can check out of any of them. Carpenter made 88% of his extra pts last year (I said 85% above so I was off). I think I'd rather put my trust in Roman for 2 pts than Carpenter for 1 pt.

I hear ya...but taking EJ's vision impairment out of the equation for a minute and other factors, the overall point is that consistently attempting 2 pt conversions, in the long run...over 4 quarters of football, will result in a higher point total. When looking at our offense, we are built to score fast and score often (Tyrod, Shady, Sammy, Clay, etc). Our defense needs to be upgraded. But if it's a race to see who has more points when the clock strikes 0:00 at the end of the 4th, we can score more points if we simply upgrade, master and execute a series of well thought out 2 pt conversions. Those games that we lost by 2, 3, 4 or even 5 pts could become "Wins" I hear ya

Not many...but how many games have you seen where we lost by 2 pts or even 3? 2 pt conversions would seem to get us closer to closing that 2 or 3 pt gap. (See Jags game)

I think his point is: If we score 3 TD's (18 pts) and are successful on 2 of our 3 attempts at two pt conversions (4 pts) we would have 22 pts rather than 21 pts (if we make all three kicked extra pts...if we miss one of those kicks we have 20 pts). There are some games where we score 4 TD's so the score would increase as we get better at 2 pt conversions vs those teams who insist on kicking extra pts with the end result (as we have witnessed with our own eyes) of more kickers missing extra pts and losing games.

Noooooo, we still have to punt and kick field goals. I would never do that to Gugmeister.

I seriously think Schmidt could do kickoffs. The kid has a leg and a kickoff is really just a 90 degree turn of the ball with no oncoming rushers. Save Carp for field goals and onside kicks. I think you guys see where I'm going with this thread. If you look at the stats from last year vs the year before or back to 2010....more and more teams are doing it. I believe we would have won one more game if we went for 2 pt conversions 50% of the time. Playoffs maybe. Oops, yes. Schmidt

I would add a box of Raisin Bran, a few Fiber gummies and 5 Tbl of Miralax. It will clean it out real good.

http://www.sportingcharts.com/nfl/stats/team-two-point-conversion-statistics/2015/ http://espn.go.com/nfl/statistics/team/_/stat/kicking/position/defense/seasontype/2 The stats are somewhat limited as far as 2 pt conversions go (Pitt was 5 for 5 and other teams showed great success) but why not forget about extra points next year?? Is a 30 yd field goal for 1 point really all that important?? Yes, I know, the Pats lost the AFC Championship game because they missed an extra point. But we missed approx 15% of our extra points this past season. I'd be interested to see if we would have won 1 or 2 more games if we had attempted 3 or 4 two pt conversions with 50% success rate in a few games (Eagles, Jags, Giants??) Dan Carpenter may be a head case but he was clutch last year. I don't think we need to take up another roster spot With a kickoff specialist. Keep Carp for field goals and train Schultz to kick off like the kid in Indy (McAfee). In the off season, come up with 10 solid 2 pt conversion plays and forget about the extra points. Just my opinion.

"Shoe polish?? Shoe polish?? What the !@#$ is the shoe polish for you nutsack!?"

...and if you drive to work by bicycle, it takes a little longer, so you can set the crockpot on low and let the chuck roast cook all day. It will be ultra tender by 7 or 8pm when you get home.

Just a piece of advice - if you really want to avoid traffic, you should consider buying/riding a bike....there's clubs out there that you could join.

What do you need? I can take up a collection

TRBJ...there can be no other explanation.

My Tracphone only allows 10 texts per day during "off peak" hours (12am - 4am)....can I be guaranteed I will only receive texts during that time??

So Bob the Koala has a boo boo and we're supposed to feel bad? I feel bad for the hawk...poor guy had to fly home to his wife with no dinner.
