  1. My wife asked me to bring tomatoes cos she was going to cook pasta for dinner. I came back and told her the organic roma tomatoes were $7/lb so I checked them out but didn't pick them up. "Okay but I didn't need the organic, vine ripened, roma tomatoes. I could make great pizza with the regular tomatoes because I am a great cook and can use decent tomatoes as long as they are not rotten or spoilt which is all I have . The regular ones were only $5/lb" But I said they were only worth $4.75/lb so I didn't buy them either and came away empty handed. Guess who is going to bed after eating only a small portion of pasta? I could call it food but it didn't have any taste and I went to bed unsatisfied.
  2. Yes. Exactly my point. It is like never enjoying the steaks and nice vacations during your youth and earning years because you want to save every penny for retirement
  3. If we were looking for a #1 WR. We would have liked one but we didn't need one. We did need a field stretcher and boundary guy. He fit the bill. At the trade deadline , these deals are often overpaid by the buyer. So yes, a tad expensive but wouldn't mortgage our 2026 draft
  4. We have a current need and are one WR short to firmly be in SB contention (I am not sold on the idea that we already are). Waddle , Wilson etc may have been expensive and not worth multiple firsts. But, Shaheed was traded. Worst case we would have had to over-,bid by a little to get him. Saints would have traded outside the conference so no concern on their part. What stopped Beane from acquiring him ? This slavish adherence to "value"?
  5. Do or do not, there is no try - Yoda (I see others in this thread preemptively bashing those who are unhappy like me)
  6. Don't worry. We will ask Tom Brady to clone you
  7. Related to the Bills or other teams ?
  8. While we are at it, the name is Hairston and not Hariston
  9. I doubt it, the Dall-ass O has scored a total of 3 points til now.
  10. Not "just". It's old news by now 😃
  11. One aspect I haven't seen discussed much is the use of no huddle at appropriate times. It was fantastic and something our O had been loathe to try except in scramble drill situations. We have had the required pieces to be successful at least since last year - experienced and savvy QB, versatile RB, good OL and TEs to block if necessary. We saw how it threw off the Chiefs and we could keep marching down the field. I don't want us to do it for long stretches but it should be used when the opposing D is on it's heels, looking tired or if we are looking for the killer TD. Making judicious use of the no huddle will also unsettle opposing DCs cos they won't know when it's coming.
  12. Josh may run one of these next plays
  13. Is McD calling the D? This is the best we have seen this season
  14. He was throwing imaginary money in the refs pot
  15. I don't mind Romo as others do. Even the neutered version we have been seeing for 2 seasons
