  1. who holds the tie breaker between Buffalo and Denver... if they both finished 10-6, who would be in?

    It depends upon who DEN loses to. For ties between teams outside the same division, after head to head, is Conference records. Right now, we're 3-3, they're 3-2. If we sweep, we'll be up to 5-3. Assuming DEN loses one conference game, it then resorts to common opponents. I'm too lazy to figure that one out.

  2. Does anyone seriously argue this was a better game for McCown than for JP simply because McCown played more.

    Yes, I think an argument can be made in that regard. It appears that the package that JP is working w/ is not a 'complete' gameplan and he has had limited exposure to 'real' game situations. IIRC, he only had one true drop back pass which resulted in a broken play & him taking off running for a FD. (All around Kudos for him on the play - smarts & athleticism.)

    Granted, this exposure certainly does him more good than sitting on the bench and an argument could be made that it's best to expose him to elements of the game a small piece at a time. But he (& perhaps more important for our discussion - we) still don't have experience of running a 'complete' offense where the primary goal is to score, not eat clock.

  3. Yes, LASIK several years ago. I have 'issues', primarily that glowing/halos that you read about. Overall, I'm very happy I had it done, but consider it a gamble.

    You might be among the majority that have negligible negative repercussions and lose essentially nothing (except the need for glasses), then again, you might be in among the small percentage that have significant problems. I, along w/ a significant percentage, fall somewhere in between, where what you gain relative to what you lose is a trade-off.

    From my perspective, if you currently wear contacts (I can't as I'm too sensitive/squimish around my eyes) and have no problem doing so I can't imagine it worth the gamble. Likewise, if you already have 'good' i.e. like 20/40 or 20/50 uncorrected vision that corrects to 20/20 I'd reccommend against it.

    I'm assuming you're asking 'cuz you're contemplating having it yourself. Try & research so that you make an informed decision. (Seems like you're doing this.)

  4. Canadian men (all married) between 35 and 60, including two that don't drink

     

    Canadian men who don't drink? That sounds mighty suspicious. If I were you, I'd check into your liability for possibly harboring terrorists or something.

     

    (Just a joke.)

  5. But what do you advocate, if 2 starters at one position have to leave the game due to injury

     

    1st, I realize that this is unlikely that roster size will be lowered (primarily due to the NFLPA influence). I just think that in many respects, the game was better when it was simpler.

     

    I don't see this (your 2 starter scenario) as a problem. Although they might not be ideally suited, but an OT can play G, DE DT, etc. w/ little or no drop in quality. Further, the dropoff of having a fast LB playing S, an agile S playing CB, or a big LB playing DE is minimal. I think the only thing that might happen is that you'll see less ability to vary your formations (i.e. no 5 WR sets, 8 DBs, etc.) which is agruably a good thing.

  6. I believe you failed to take into consideration the possibilites of Indy &/or SD losing their remaining 4 games. I realize each have low probability.

     

    I haven't figured the odds yet (let's wait at least another game), but the way I look at it, there's 6 teams that can be 'eliminated' & we need 3 to do so (& of course, us winning our remaining 4).

  7. Like most polls, a simple Yes/No answer is insufficient.

    1st, how many millions are relative to what? Say $20m over a few years and being an elite world class athlete versus the alternative of $20k/yr & absolutely no athletic ability?

    In that case, I'd vote yes.

    Under the more likely scenario :

    As above w/ steriods vs. maybe a $3m and being a '2nd tier' world class athlete? For me, no, but I suspect this is where people who greatly value athletic prowess & success

    are in a position to swing & vote yes.

    For me in my position, the extra 2" of vertical jump to improve my volleyball game, or the extra 10 yards off the tee in golf, that steriods might garner certainly isn't worth it.

    Like most value questions, this debate/question is far more complex than can be adequately analyzed by a simple Yes/No response.

  8. Well, he started off as a TE. He wasn't among our 3rd best, & wasn't likely to be anytime soon. (IIRC, we had a FA rookie TE, Tauffalt or something, that I was impressed w/, too.)

    He had promising potential, so he was put on the PS. Given 8 weeks of work or whatever, he improved to the point where he was good enough to warrant a roster spot (primarily as a ST player & OT/short yardage TE).
