  1. You of all people should know there's no such thing as a "non-issue" on the Stadium Wall, Campy.
  2. ...and you could always do something like this
  3. There was a pretty good idea on today's Foxtrot. Though not relevant to the question, yesterday's cartoon was pretty good too.
  4. Yes, the completion %age is good but if you look we have more rushing yards than passing yards over the course of the season, and we don't run enough. The yardage indicates that Holcomb is too gun-shy. Losman didn't think to dump off, but that's about all that Holcomb does. Trust me, it is easy to complete a screen pass to your running back on 3rd and 27. 5 out of 61 of his pass attempts have gone over 10 yards in the air. I'm not afraid to admit that I was one who would always get the outfield called in on him playing softball in gym class. Holcomb is playing like that type of QB...I believe the Raiders were even quoted saying so. We don't need to make it easier for the Defense by allowing them to effectively ignore the field at LOS+11 yards... I'm not advocating passing more frequently, I'm advocating making each passing play count.
  5. Well, you couldn't be more wrong. Did you even read the first post?!
  6. Well, I guess you have no sense....
  7. Have you done that?
  8. Once they got to the 3rd....and did they deal with the Bills in any of those transactions?
  9. In points value it was not necessarily unreasonable (though as the solicitor the discrepency in value is closer than the other trades). In your Indy/Cleveland example, who made the phone call? Was Indy looking to go down or Cleveland up? In practicality, it takes two to tango...You can refuse a trade at any time for any reason. Was Green Bay looking for extra mid-late 2nd day picks? They already had 2 5th rounders, 2 6th rounders and 2 7th rounders? Why would they want more? Green Bay could have shot down the deal because they were still pissed over us taking Losman? Do you have the war room transcripts where Green Bay offered your potential trade but TD said "NO?"
  10. Why not? His "return to the glory days" path has us trading a 5th and 7th rounder to Indy for their entire offensive line. Indy offered Manning if we added a 3rd rounder, but Manning played hardball and wouldn't accept the veteran minimum salary that John Abraham, Terrell Owens and Dwight Freeney accepted in coming here....and he figured he could get better QB talent with that 3rd round pick.
  11. Bummer. RIP.
  12. It seems there are many here (I won't name names) who are stuck behind their keyboards munching Cheetos all day because they have yet to find a sport that utilizes both their: -A combination of cunning, intelligence and strategic thinking that exceeds most NFL head coaches and -athletic abilities and overall physical manliness of build that leave everyone else wondering why it is they never ended up playing pro sports. Well put down the Cheetos and step away from the Wall, Mr., because here is a sport that is tailored just for you.
  13. What is the world coming to?
  14. It was Fassel, and I believe it was Speculation by esteemed football journalist Mark Weiler. Giants' guy thought differently....Also saw notes somewhere from an "exclusive" interview with WGRZ where Fassel talks about the interview "going well."
  15. Really? Damn, you fooled me!
  16. Say what you will about him but Vick just wins baby!
  17. Considering we don't run enough, having more rushing yards than passing yards this season is the pathetic-flavored icing on the cake....
  18. With Vick having 2 yards passing the ball washer has turned to Warrick Dunn. Don't you know he's no good? He only looks good because of all the yards he got against Buffalo...
  19. Didn't you see this in the Consumer Forum? Or the Politics Forum? Or the Tailgate forum? Or the Newbie forum? Or the Fitness Forum? Or the Katrina Forum?
  20. Must be raining in the Georgia Dome, ball is slippery tonight...
  21. Worst in the league? The Bills aren't even the worst in their division.
  22. Colts are looking pretty good this year. Wanna go halves on seasons in Indy next year?
  23. Actually, many QB's hate the shotgun because they lose time having to watch for the ball. On a regular snap, the D is "that much closer" from the start, but he is able to watch the D from the snap until he finished dropping back. By the time he drops back he should have some idea where the pressure is coming from. Not only that but the ball is placed in his hands 'ready to go.' On a shotgun snap, he has to take his eyes off the D while the ball is headed his way, then he has to 'adjust' the ball in his hand until it is right. And, of course, there's always a much higher risk of a bad snap with the shotgun...
  24. He was better than LT today... Hard to get worse though...
  25. I just heard/saw the quote on TV. He seemed more focused on talking about how good their D-Line was rather than "ripping" his O-Line. Rather matter-of-fact in his commentary.
