I was able to bend a coat hanger and hook the ball.
Hey, that was my guess.
Great thread Rock ;-)

Stories came out that it degenerated into a shouting match and Greggo threw Ted out of his office.
For some reason I'm having a difficult time envisioning anybody this side of Magnus Ver Magnusson throwing TED out of an office.
But where there's smoke there's fire and considering some of Williams' personell decisions, I wouldn't be surprised if it happened.
Thanx

I predicted Simon is an assclown.....
Not exactly going out on a limb there.............

I think they execute better than any team in the NFL.
Incredibly crisp with minimal mistakes.

Ok, Tom Brady walks into a gay bar...
Strolls up to a hottie and asks "May I push in your stool?"

Probably the all-time best post heading, from badol...
It was an instant classic. Maybe you'll even get to see him perform it live this weekend!
Enjoy the show mac.

Watching that all run drive, I was salivating at the prospect of attacking Traylor.
I'm guessing the Pats gameplan for us will bear no resemblance whatsover to the way they defended Indy last night. I wouldn't be surprised to see a lot of 4-3 and for Belichik to make a more concerted effort to attack our O with extra interior pressure.
Hopefully Clements/Mularkey can find a way to sting them on the edges.
On a sidenote, did the final chapter ever get written about the alleged Ted W & Greggo meeting in spring of '01? It would seem all too clear now that Greggo would yell at Ted and throw him out of the office.Que?
Somebody catch me up? This sounds interesting.......

that 9-run drive
Damn, I'd have liked to have seen that. But I missed the 1sthalf:-(
Wow Edge sure looked like he was all the way back last night. I think him and McGahee run with similar patient styles, always looking for the cutback and not really attacking the LOS until they've picked their spot. I'd sure like to see Willis find his explosiveness sometime this season, like EJames apparently has.

Before the 1st preseason game I made a few predictions. While the post got whacked in the transition, I remember a few of them.
>Shaud Williams will make this roster
>Jason Gildon will not
>The Bills will suffer one major injury and it will involve Milloy because he's mentally and physically incapable of playing at 3/4 speed
>The Bills will sign a veteran QB to back up Bledsoe
The only one I remembner missing on was I thought Sobieski would take Pucillo's LG spot (ooops)

My question is this...when will they take the no huddle back from Peyton? Last night to me shows his achilles heel. He wants to sling the ball when in fact they should run.
This is exactly why I'm not convinced they were totally exposed last night. I think Belichik realizes Manning is going to keep chucking it no matter what you give him and he sacrificed his backers to coverage responsibilities knowing Edge would get his but Peyton wouldn't/couldn't keep feeding him.
I don't think they'll ever take the offense away from Manning, but they ought to put a shockcollar on him and give him a zap every once in awhile. If he had any patience whatsoever the Colts could have held the ball for 40:00 while Edge ran for about 250.
How does Belichik continue to get away with this kind of shlt?!

My cat can pick a good team with only 8 guys
Yeah but only because it would be picking against you and your buddies.....

Your running backs are strong 1,2 and 3. But why even bother carrying Wheatley and Emmitt? They're both useless.
Wheatley is poised for his career year in Norv Turner's offense, Emmit is running in a Denny Green offense that is going to surprise a lot of people, and both guys looked tremendous every time I saw them in the preseason. I like to start 3RB's and guys get hurt/have byes so having two extra potential starters is going to earn me a lot of points (and likely a fetch a great player later in the year).
your WR's are pretty weak, in my opinion. Moulds is solid, but I consider guys like Toomer (especially with Manning potentially starting), Driver and Smith "third-tier" WR'sI've always beleived that #2 WR is the least important position in a fantasy draft because you can always snag a guy that pops out of nowhere in Week2-3 (Darius Watts, TyCalico, BStokely are this year's candidates). I also think RodSmith is poised for a big comeback year and playing weekly matchups I can get good production from the position with either him, Toomer or Driver.
QB's: mediocre. In a 8 team league, I would imagine you could have gotten somone a lot better (and this is coming from a big Trent Green fan).I don't know why people continue to undervalue Trent Green. This is the second year in a row I've got him in the 4thround and the last two years he's thrown for almost 8,000 yrds with over 50 TD's and less than half as many picks. When you consider he plays behind arguably the league's best OLine, in an explosive offense and with a defense that is going to keep him on the field in 38-35 games all year, this guy should be ranked right behind Manning and Culpepper until he gives us a real reason to drop him.
TE, K, and defense are good. But I'd be curious to see where your drafted Heap.I started a TE run drafting Heap early in the 8th round. And no, it's not considered larceny if it happens within view of one's own property......

Has to be asked: Why does it bother you?!?
Uh, because he's in the AFC East and he's not Bill?
Hello, McFly?
-
I had the #1 pick overall - I traded it and my 6th round pick for the #6 pick (1st round) and the #15 pick (in the second round)
Ummmm, speaking of playing with your mum and brother.........
Just to show you that you are not "all that" here is the starting lineup in my ten-team league - not 8 like yours. I would put my team against yours anyday - my WR's are much better:Awwww that team is so cute.
On Monday morning my 3back attack would have chunks of your team in its stool.......
-
Woah - how else was he supposed to tackle him on that play?
lmao, yeah how could an NFL safety possibly have run down a speedster like Manning when he had a good angle and Peyton was a whole 8" from the sideline?
That was a vicious and intentional move on Harrison's part and Manning was pissed off for good reason.
I loved it!
That was a GREAT call in that situation, BTW.They nailed us with that 2-3 years ago and Manning went around left end and ran for what had to be close to a 40yrd TD! Boy was I chuckling watching him trying to lumber that far;-)
-
how many people are in your league..................Who is in your league, your mom and your brother?!
8 team league with probably over 100 years of accrued FFL experience.
I was just hitting on all cylinders, making great decisions, anticipating everything 7-10 moves ahead and my plays just kept working. The only one that didn't was I just missed stealing Jerry Porter with my Rod Smith pick.
Also not thrilled with how I saw the Colts using Edge last night, but I drafted 5 really good backs so I'm not worried.

What was a penalty, however, was Rodney Harrison's sack. He left his feet to hit Manning in the head
He also went right after Manning's knees with very bad intentions when Peyton waggled out there nekkid on 3rd down and ran for the conversion. 'Ol Peyton was pissed about it too.
The more I watch Harrison the more I want to marry him ;-)

I don't think he's quite caught McNair yet but the fact that this is a legit question annoys the ever-lovin shlt out of me.

'Cuz this team will hammer anything I've seen posted on here yet!-)
I thought it was my best draft in 15yrs of FFL as guys I had targeted 20mins ahead of time just kept falling to me. Then I saw the Colts pulling Edge in the redzone and when they did give him the rock at the goalline he coughed it up, guaranteeing that he won't be allowed to touch it on goaltogo for the next month>-( Sigh..........

P.S. Our league came to a great consensus during pre-draft tweaking/voting.
Next year we are going to have the draft out at my camp and we're going NFL style. It will be a two-day event with the first half of the draft occuring Friday night and the second half occuring Saturday night.
10 guys at camp indiscriminately ingesting everthing in sight for a 3day FFL Draft!
This is going to be great!!!

Patriots favored by 3
Belichik/Brady/Vinatieri at home.
Could there be any other line?
-
I thought losing TED would be the biggest problem the Pats had to overcome(I know they won w/o him last year) because it essentially forces you to commit two guys where there was one to acheive the same results. And that's kind of like taking a guy off the field.
And while I thought both Warren and Traylor (and Wilfork) looked very good, somehow the Colts consistently found a LOT of space in the A/B gaps.
Is this the beginning of a trend ala 2002, or was Belichik just defending the ColtO by primarily protecting himself from big plays and trying to win a 4thqrtr grinder?
I'm verklempt considering the beauty that is already the NFL 2004 season, so talk amongst yourselves.....

Seems like a pretty sensible review, but one thing puts me off.
Guy says this "DTs Sam Adams and Pat Williams excel at occupying blockers at the line of scrimmage, allowing the linebackers to flow to the ball" but then follows it up with this "That's not good news for Buffalo fans, because Jacksonville may have the best starting defensive tackle tandem in the league"
PhatPat and The Keg are thee best DT tandem in the NFL bar none, and not only are they given left-handed shortshrift again, but their wannabe opponents get the nod from lesjudgesdefrancois.
Make them pay PhatPat........again and again and again and again.

Edgerrin did not protect the football in the red zone...TWICE. The second time was with less than three minutes left in the game, at the 1-yard line, in a three-point game.
My eyebrows were crinkling earlier after the Colts gave Dom two carries in the redzone after Edge looked so freaking good on every snap I saw.
Then they go back to Edge when you think they're nuts if they don't, and he fumbles on his first redzonecarry on 1stdown from the galdanged 1!!!
Then Weiss hands it to Brady to take his pick downfield from his own 1 on 1stdown (I thought it was a great call) and instead of throwing it away he chucks only his first jumpball of the game's critical series.
And after Manning follows up freebie #3 with possibly the worst sack of 2004, one of the league's very best kickers horribly gags what is only the 2nd/3rd real pressure kick of his career.
Somebody needs to tie Peyton and Vgajt together with 3' of rope for an hour and let Edge hold the camera..........

They're calling a good game and have already handed Moulds a free score and begun wearing down the Jags.
If Neufeld could catch, that may have been the start of another long grinding drive which could have taken us to halftime w/o Jax touching the ball again.
It was the right call and everybody executed but the TE.
