I think (hope) we will win - but with the seeming lack of intestinal fortitude displayed on occasion by this team and players over recent history I don't think you can discount the effect of the black hole

300ZX (belonged to a roomate I had), my sister's Jaguar XJ6 convertible and her (now ex) husband's Mercedes convertible (not sure of model).
Probably more applicable for me would be uncool cars - from a variety of my Father's crappy station wagons to my Mom's Chevette. The first car I ever owned I actually co-owned with my brother while in high school - an 'old person' car - an old puke green 4-door Dodge Dart. It was the old story, got it from an old man who didn't put a lot of miles on it. It was actually a good car - and it was so patently uncool for a high school kid to have it actually became cool. Then the next year my brother took it to Geneseo and wrecked it

The irony is that had he actually not been burnt so bad on that first play, he might have been in better position closer to the receiver and pushed him as he caught it, and it might have been called a TD.
The loss was not Wire's fault - but as long as he is in there a good DC should be able to exploit our defense. I would MUCH rather have PP in there - and wouldn't be surprised is Wire goes back on the bench before Milloy comes back.
BTW - for those who still think Wire's only liability is coverage and he is a great tackler - check your tape on the Jax drive following the Bills TD. I don't have the tape but I do remember making a mental note of seeing Wire flying in and whiffing on two tackles in a row at the beginning of the drive. There were other times I saw this happen throughout the game - and is exactly what I've seen time and time and time again anytime I've watched him play - going back to when he played <sarcasm on> "great"<sarcasm off> as a starting SS as a rookie .

some teams have 3 "kickers" punter, FG kicker, and kickoffs. but most arnt willing to use that 3rd roster spot on a kicker. they might do it in desperation if a player is injured, or there kicker has NO leg, and is only accurate at less than 45 yards.
the kickoff kicker, would also come in to try the very long FGs.
it would be a good ST player and help our ST, if we could get a lot more touchbacks.
You missed my point - which was that instead of reserving a spot for a "kickoff specialist" who can do nothing but that - it seems to me that on a 53 man roster you could find a 'normal' position player and train him to kick it into the end zone as a secondary duty.
-
On a related note I've always wondered why out of 53 of some of the best athletes in the world you couldn't find one guy with potential and work with him to send a kickoff into the end zone. I understand that kicking extra points/FGs is a unique skill which requires a combination of accuracy and strength - seems like a kickoff would just be more brute force and you'd be able to find/train someone on a roster to could send it into the end zone. I know there is a sharp divide about maintaining a roster spot for a "kickoff specialist" - seems to me most every roster should have one already on it.

What the Patsies are masters of is the 10-15 yd intermediate route - whether it be receivers finding the soft spots in the zone or TEs exploiting matchups.
I think if teams can figure out a way to jump on those routes and have capable safety play to freeze out the TEs they would really bring down the Pats offensive machine. I think Brady is getting better at hitting the "long ball" (for him) which they set up with the intermediate routes - but he would die with it if the intermediate routes were choked off and they had to rely more on the deep ball instead of it being an occassional quick hitter.
I'm very comfortable with our d-backs - they are quick and athletic enough to jump those routes and now seem to be coached to do just that. I think Reese/Milloy would be adequate for what they need to do - my biggest fear is Wire who I think would be absolutely exploited by a smart coahing staff. Contrary to popular belief he had his lunch handed to him many times in previous outings trying to cover athletic TEs. His presence on the field really worries me. I would much rather hav PP out there or even a nickel back - I really expect to see Wire get sat and PP take his place after a few key mis-steps.

Too late for that now. My wife always asks about that when she's planning trips and I always tell her to blow it off
Trying to get a hold of the agent - on their web site it shows that for Frances there was a policy where they were allowing people to rebook - of course "Discounts and availability are not guaranteed". We had a 7 day for the price of 5 deal - not sure what's going to happen with that. Will also have to eat some money for changing the plane tix - assuming we can even work out the rebooking at all.

Freaking communist bastard storm spawned from the depths of hell!
Scrambling now to see if I can rebook my week vacation to Disney planned for next week (supposed to leave tomorrow).

It was the first time I had really heard him talk. I have seen some other mention of his voice from people who saw him at camp etc. - it really is a bit surprising to hear him. Looks aren't the only thing he has in common w/ Adam Sandler...
On the other hand - he did sound authoritative in the huddle. As long as he can play and talk at the same time is all that matters.

And with the signing young Aaron officially graduates from "high-motor" to "relentless"
B) Blessed with good, not great, quickness, Schobel is a relentless player whose will and toughness more than compensate for any physical shortcomings -
How did you land this gig?

the moment slowed down like the seconds leading up to a car Rosen
BUFFALO: Four consecutive Super Bowl appearances.MIAMI: A perfect, undefeated season in 1972.
ADVANTAGE: Crap, I have to give 'em that one. Let's move on ...
Have to disagree here - teams come close to perfect seasons - no one will EVER go to 4 consecutive SBs again
BUFFALO: Man breasts bared to the icy windsOn this point I think he's also confused - GW isn't here anymore!

The wife, boys (age 3-1/2 and 2) and I, along with the in-laws, were supposed to fly down to Orlando this Saturday for a trip we've (read: the wife, although I like it as well but not to the same extent she does) planning for over 2 months now. Well we can cancel our Disney lodging and get a full refund, but US Airheads said that we have to fly within 7 days from this Saturday, paying the difference of course. Any suggestions where we can all go last minute?
That sucks for you and your family. I just hope the damn thing stays away from Orlando so Disney will still be there when I'm supposed to go starting next weekend!

Isn't there usually some insurance you can buy for packages the event of a natural disaster or the like? My wife always asks me about stuff like that and I always say blow it off.
I'm hoping if it does hit land it hits Georgia and hits it early. I'm actually going to be in Kentucky this weekend and will be driving back to Central NC on Labor Day. Good luck w/ your travels/stay.

I noticed that too - wasn't thinking 'slash' as much as if he is going to be in the backfield there is always that possibility of a trick play where he throws.
The nice thing about trick plays like that out of certain formations and personnel packages is that if you do it once then teams need to be on their heels if you show them the same look later in the year.

Can't ... resist ... can't ... stop ... typing ...
I have never forgotton who was our starter before Lawyer's signing - and I have never forgotton how awful he was.
I don't know why so many people fail to realize the biggest reason we got Milloy was because we needed a SS who could play!!!!!
-
Cant they just put a hard cast on that thing? A gimp Milloy is better than a healthy Wire.
Milloy with a broken LEG would be better than Wire
This is one person who is praying that Milloy will play and Wire stays off the field.

I think there were at least 2 MM PC transcripts where Mularkey - when asked about Peters, gave very PC responses like 'needs to get into the book more' etc. - I think intelligence may have played a big role - but for something like that you would think PS would be the cure - unless they just consider him hopeless in that regard. It may have been a combination of attitude as well.
-
I'm just hoping it doesn't hit Orlando and wipe things out there - going to Disney the week after next!
