I agree with the sentiment, sort of. Seemed like we were most effective passing to set up the run last year, and our guys ended up running really effectively because of our pass-first mindset.

Do you guys that feel like you have to watch every game humanly possible, somehow measure your worth or fanhood by not missing any snaps that someone else might be watching?
I don't think it's anything like that. I'd like to keep up to date generally on the NFL action, but don't have the time to watch more than about 3-5 hours of football on Sunday (and maybe a 1/4 of the MNF game).
By the games being bunched together on Sunday afternoon, I feel like I have a better feel for the NFL action, and can always cut to interesting parts during the games. It's almost like watching March Madness on the opening days of the tourney.

Love "The Stranger" by Camus, simply because of how fascinating it is, and how it so purely existentialist.
I am also a big Soren Kiekegaard fan. I buy into Christian existentionalism. But I find his stuff hard to read--I mostly cheat and read secondary sources on Kierkegaard.

This thread is easily in the top ten retard threads of all-time.
You don't watch all the games anyway, especially because when the Bills play there are almost always 6-7 games going on simultaneously. And then you complain that there will only be 5-6 games on simultaneously that you aren't watching, because one game will be on Thursday night, which you didn't watch before because their were no games, but now you must watch even though you wouldn't have watched it on Sunday?
Got it.
Tards.
I'm with the OP. With Sunday Ticket, even though I am watching the Bills game, I can flip to the other games or flip over to redzone channel, and have a great feel for the majority of the action going on during the day, which is also helpful from a FF perspective.
It's tough for me to justify to my family setting aside a Thursday night also to watch a single game that is likely of marginal interest.

This year week 5 will start Thursday night football. And personally I think it sucks. Not only for Fantasy Football (Having to set lineups on Thursday), but also because its only on the NFL network something not every cable provider has, and because it further dilutes the product by spamming games out during the week.
On top of that Thursdays in the fall have a lot more viewing options than Saturday's or Sundays and even Mondays. I freaking hate it, its such a money grab by the NFL to promote its network. Half the time I forget games are on because I don't associate Thursday's with football. This year its even worse, its pretty much for the whole year as opposed to just annoying me for the tail end of the season.
What's everyone's take on the extension of Thursday Night games?
I agree with you 100% Been making the same arguments for a while now, but I feel like we're in the minority, and that most people like the idea of Thursday night football.
It kills me because I never remember that there are games on Thursday, and even if I did, I don't have the time to watch some random NFC west divisional Thursday night game.
The next step will be Saturday night games...

Geez--people better relax. It's not out of the realm of possibilities that we lose this first game, and, in fact, start the season slow. The sky will not fall. Our schedule eases up late in the season, if I recall, which is where we can make our playoff run.

Is that where he is from??? Or did they draft him? Just not sure what the BACK TO means.
he played there last year before he was cut and we picked him up.
From what I read on PFT, a lot of Raider fans are thrilled to have him back.
Hagan is a decent, solid option. Wish we could have kept him.
-
id wait til you know hes going to first be active on game day, and next be used before you use him in the same sentence as dallas clark. it could happen, but we are still far from having reason to believe it true.
Yeah, I chickened out and didn't draft him. If he gets some looks this week, maybe I'll pick him up. For some reason I just see us trying to use him in a number of ways, and maybe getting good touches in the redzone.

Actually, a major part of Revis' game is holding and committing what would normally be considered pass interference. He just never gets called for anything.
That's because he's brilliant at doing it. I've heard him referred to as "sticky" and that's exactly how he plays. A little jab with the hand here and there--slows the guy down but is never going to be called. With regular or replacement refs, Revis is going to blanket our receivers.
But a guy like Aaron Williams could use some gimmes on holds and PI's.

Our LB's and CB's kill us on defense. We can't stop anyone again this year.
Doomed!
I wouldn't worry too much about the LB's. A great d-line cures all ills.
-
All correct here... anyone that plays Madden knows this!
So true. Even the computer knows (sometimes).
-
Said it last year. Say it again now. Groin injuries don't go away. He needs to take off 6-9 months to have a chance at kicking this. Hamstring pulls are similar injuries. They need absolute shutdown for a long time. Playing through them (like Stevie did last year) is a terrible decision.
I can see that. I remember pulling a groin playing pick-up football in college. So painful--couldn't lift my leg to put my pants on. And right when I felt I kicked it, it crept back up on me.
-
Bad refs will be to our benefit. Revis is sound as anything; he rarely even has to hold or commit PI. Our DB's will need to and should take liberties at grabbing, holding, PI--force the refs to call it.
-
Yeah, I'm confused...does Rex mean use both of them at the same time to simulate 1 Mario?
Makes perfect sense. Maybin will run 8 yards up field in a long arc. Hunter meanwhile can block Coples for 3-4 seconds, and the when he's done, Maybin will have completed his loop and can be tapped gently to the ground.
Rex is pretty smart.
-
No need to worry--I think Ticket's free week 1 to all DTV subscribers. The real panic starts before week 2.
-
I actually think Dickerson is gonna be an active.....
We need to employ more TE sets against physical teams......wouldnt suprise me to use Dickerson due to his size and speed
I am actually considering drafting Dickerson in a fantasy league. He might be slotted at 3 positions, and I can see us using him like the Colts used to use Dallas Clark.
-
Smash cut to Maybin sitting in front of a mirror, shaving his hairline to look receding, rehearsing a North Carolinian drawl.
haha; was just going to post something similar.
"No, no, Aaron. You have to act like him on the field."

I thought this was about who would win the AFC this year. Anyway I think Houston has a good shot.
I don't understand all the Houston love. Is it just because they play in a crappy division? I would give them zero percent chance at beating the perennial AFC powers-- NE*, Pitt, Balt, Denver.
Plus, I can't see Schaub and Johnson staying healthy for an entire season.

The Jets' playoff hopes

This. Anyone practicing a "ritual" that has led to what we've endured over the past 12 years needs to stop immediately, and start from scratch.
So you're saying wearing my Rob Johnson jersey is not working?

Rex seems to be ignoring the fact that the guy who invented the wildcat is on our staff.
Frankly, I'm less concerned about Tebow in the wildcat because he's about the worst passer in the league.
Really? If anything, Tebow gives that wildcat a legit throwing option. He could throw 50% of the time out of it and be effective (e.g., with short, or one-read throws). And once he starts throwing, it will be even more effective as a weapon.
I don't think there's been a wildcat run in the NFL by anyone could throw half as well as Tebow.

I thought i heard once that fines go to a charity of the player's choice... Maybe those are NFL fines and not team fines, but I thought I heard that once. Anyone know if thats the case?
Answered my own question.
not sure you did; these wouldn't seem to qualify as "on the field fines"? I wonder if they stand on different footing.
-
I find it strange that this does't happen more. You accidentally injure a teammate in practice--seems like the normal human reaction would be to apologize and check on the guy.

Not sure this is the point to be made in a blow-out loss. When you're down 21-0 out of the gate, the running game has got to go. In fact, we ran a lot more than I thought we would have.
