  1. That is simply not true. They inserted the word forcible into the rule for a particular reason; to differentiate between a tackle and hitting a guy with forcible contact.
  2. Just let em score if they want and take three knees
  3. I disagree with that one Milt
  4. He's the only DT that's been playing worth a damn aside from Oliver.
  5. Agreed. It does indeed sound crazy.
  6. It was put in to keep QB's from getting hit low, not getting tackled low. If it's not forcible contact, it's not supposed to be a penalty. But instead of making the subjective call, officials are just regularly defaulting to make an objective call that ignores the "forcible" designation that the league intentionally installed into the rule.
  7. Its supposed to be a forcible contact rule and it's not being called that way.
  8. I don't think he's hurt; I'm guessing just coach making a call. Hyde has great hands but he should be told to fair catch everything.
  9. I thought the line judge was originally going to mark it good but hten eaither Diggs or Beasley got in his way and altered his path to the spot
  10. Thats a bad spot but we had a couple generous ones earlier
  11. They were trying to throw a TD to Nsheke
  12. He's arguably the best player on their roster
  13. You know why they call him Stinky? Instead of monkeying around with his gear, he used to just piss his pants during games.
  14. I thought we caught a bigger break when Joe Haden got hurt
  15. I had a bunch of beer-swilling Stillers hooligans in my living room, all of whom have spent most of their lives playing or coaching ball, and they could not stopping talking about Williams. They were blown away by the seeming ease with which he just kept swallowing up Watt down after down after down. They said the guy had been virtually unlockable for the last two months and they hadn't seen anybody come even close to handling him like that. They were laughing at me before the game when I told them I was way more afraid of Heyward than anything they could bring off either edge. We are really really lucky; there are not many teams in the NFL that are putting a pair of Tackles like that out there on every down.
  16. It was just some guy losing a debate and getting really overwrought about it to the point he started cussing me out and at one point accused me of talking some kind of Shakespeare stuff at him. It was strange but in a desperately amusing way, and seeing me compared to the Bard cost AKC two monitors when he aspirated a quart of Irish coffee all over them.
  17. I'll take this opportunity to admit how wrong I was about him his first couple years here. He still makes me a little nervous in short zones but his game has developed far beyond where I thought it would ever go. I've been a Micah Hyde fan since the Pack started wisely using him at Safety, but I think Poyer has become an even better player at this point. I don't know that there is another combo in the league for which I'd trade these two right now.
  18. I've caught him prowling around a couple times the last few months. We tried to secure all the windows but it's hard to keep a good second story man down.
  19. That's a good read on it. Although the way the Bills were running to the ball on defense was no joke; there was some big league gang-tackling going on out there.
  20. In his time? Left by the wayside?! Ummm, it was just Jan 6, 2018 that Dick Lebeau won an NFL playoff game on the road with a Titans defense rotating a dozen guys you've never heard of. And he did it at 81 years old after nearly 60 years in the NFL just two playoffs ago. At no point in this man's life has football ever left him by the wayside. You should have more respect for one of the greatest men to have ever been involved in the sport at any level.
  21. I literally just did it less than a week ago. Shuffled out of a rural convenience store at 6:30am looking down at a newspaper, walked over to my black truck and glanced up to grab the door handle just to see a guy in the driver's seat of his pickup laughing at me. I just shook my head and walked around to my truck which was parked right next to his.
  22. I'm going to guess Lee Smith is his 6th read
