  1. Why can't the fing league do something about the ne fing with the comms. It's unbelievable the are just allowed to do it every fing game
  2. When I saw the thread title this is exactly what popped into my mind Then plays 2 and 3: CJ up the middle for -2 yards. CJ up the middle for 0 yards.
  3. Ha - I don't care how ridiculous the argument is, as long as it continues to shine a tainted spotlight on Disgraced QB Tom Brady I'm happy
  4. What a roller coaster for those guys who bounce around practice squads
  5. I think the biggest things that go against the theory that being QB of the scout team somehow prepares you well as a starter is 1) you are not even running your own offense and 2) you are running another teams offense with backup players who wouldn't even be on the field with you on game day if somehow you do become starter. This negatively trumps any supposed advantage of 'more reps' IMO
  6. This is where I disagree. Bellicheat is known for his 'adjustments' - how hard is it to adjust when you find out what the other team is going to do? Brady is known for his uncanny ability to find the hot read and correct receiver against a defense. How hard is that when you know what the defensive call is? How much of their success time after time is Brady throwing a slant to the one correct read against a defense - no one talks about his great athleticism or ability - it's all predicated on knowing what the defense is doing. I hate the argument "they are so good, they don't need to cheat" - they were good BECAUSE they cheated. Other people have talked about various games and situations that seemed unbelievable. For me it all changed the home game in 2004 (the Richard Seymour fumble return game). There were two separate plays that are burned in my memory. In both cases the Bills brought a blitz, and both times Brady just chucked the ball long as the blitzer came, in both cases he literally was not even looking where he was throwing, was more ducking to avoid the blitzer - long bombs complete to the only open area on the field, that he never even looked at. I sat there both times and though WTF, it was like he knew exactly what was coming and where the open part of the field would be before the ball was snapped. As soon as Spygate was revealed those plays were the first thing I thought of. It absolutely blows my mind there are talking heads and people who continue the Brady one of the best all time narrative, when he should be disgraced and treated the same as Lance Armstrong and Barry Bonds - he was in the center of a systemic multi-faceted program of cheating for basically his whole career - he was successful because he cheated plain and simple.
  7. First, it makes me physically ill to think the scumbag franchise cheated all those years and were set up to be the 'model' franchise due to their illegitimate 'success' - there is absolutely no doubt in my mind they never would have won anything (no genius Bellicheat, no GOAT Brady) without the systemic cheating in multiple different forms that existed for years. The thing that I think is most crazy in all of this, is the line Goodell has been forced to walk now. After selling his soul to the devil and covering up the full extent of Spygate, he's in the unbelievable position now to be at war with the Cheatriots, while having the knowledge to blow the lid off of the full(er) extent of the pervasive cheating they did for all those years, but can't because then the league is exposed as being a complete sham, and he is complicit. It's insane.
  8. I was thinking the same thing. Not sure how running the scout team is the best preparation to jump from 3rd string to starter if TT goes down
  9. Who is Cam Thomas on PUP - never heard of the dude
  10. And how long are you going to give him to actually complete three games?
  11. One thing that seems obvious is OL men need to be athletic AND intelligent to be successful in this scheme, which is probably why they were so over the top high on Miller's intelligence, but also may be why they haven't been able to find a full suite of capable backups
  12. Let's see what Rob Hanrahan can come up with
  13. But who would be interested in O'Leary - he did nothing to show he can play at this level. I would think more interest in Lewis and Brown - although trying to hide one of them through the first week would mean keeping 8 WRs (even though 2 of those are really ST guys)
  14. Wow what a rollercoaster this offseason has been
  15. I'm assuming they instructed him to throw a pass 20 yds the wrong way last night just keep other teams off the scent
