Fumble recovery for a TD by Blatnick

Did you forget Rex Grossman ? No team should enter a season without a seasoned vet.

That was a nice PBU by Robey. Not a PI

Sure but out of pocket (rounded figures) for 4 year contracts: EJ (9MM) + Woods (4.9) + Alonso (4.5) = $18.4 Tavon Austin #8 pick (12.7) + Woods (4.9) = $17.6 So we spent a bit more coin but incremental per player is not much. I think the Bills came out ahead financially even though they spent a bit more money

Can't the Almighty Tebow sprinkle some holy water and cure him in an instant ?

I sont know if it is clear enough. I should probably go through all posts and do a count. On the road this week and kinda tough to do from my phone....

Sweet and accurate TD throw. Woods looking very smooth and good

Not me

Good point. Maybe plays need to be slowed down till EJ gets adjusted to NFL Ds

Good two completions for EJ "nice run by ... a Buffalo running back" (read:I have no idea who ran that ball)

Should have been an easy completion

What are you talking about ? Colts are doing everything well and the Bills suck.

Kelvin Sheppard looked like he interfered on the 1st down There was a WR wide open on the left side of the EZ on the 3rd down play !!

EJ is built like a LB. Good vanilla throw to TJ

Very early, but guys who are looking good - Aaron Williams, Alonso, CJ

EJ should have held on a second more to see if anyone breaks open. Therr was no pressure at that time

Slippery Spiller. Nice runs

Saw Elysium on Friday. (tried to keep it spoiler-free) Good: - Good plot, realistic but grand visuals - Good acting all around. Damon really excels as an action hero far more than he did in any of the Bourne movies. Copley follows up his fish-out-of-water performance (District 9) with a thoroughly bad-a$$ Kruger with the right amount of villiany. Supporting cast is adequate. Foster looked wasted as all she does is bark orders and try to sound scheming. - Excellent direction. I was particularly heartened to see him do an excellent sophomore act cos I was worried he is a one-shot wonder. He most definitely is not. Him and Duncan Jones are the hope for the future of brainy sci-fi Could be better: - The climax could be better. It has a good build-up but needed more of an edge-of-the-seat feel - Again, plot closure could be a bit better Overall, it was well expected that Blomkamp intentionally drifted from the visceral feel of District 9 to a more mainstream movie. Critics who lament that it is 'too loud' (it isnt IMHO) or too populist may be well served to read their own glowing reviews of decidedly shallower and generic blockbusters this year (yea, I am looking at you Iron Man 3, Man of Steel). While other summer blockbusters have their place with big action, huge sets etc, there is a very nice place for a deeper movie like Elysium. having said that, Blomkamp did not go full Hollywood on us and that may be a bit of a failing. At some points, he could have toned down the political commentary and concentrated on giving more thrills. (see Spielberg. He builds up the characters and story, but when it is time for action, he goes all mini-Michael Bay and provides goosebumps). But Blomkamp is a young director and he will learn that over time. Overall, I recommend it if you like a little depth to your scifi.

Justin Blackmon reportedly escorted off the field for a verbal spat with a Dolphins CB: http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap1000000228549/article/jaguars-justin-blackmon-escorted-from-sideline-after-spat

I vote for Astro also for his terrific TC reports

Not sure why it has to be one or the other. We had enough to sign both. Unless we pretend to save the money for next year and then get into the same cycle again. (In other news, I really need how to multi-quote on TBD.)

I certainly hope it all works out but the majority of the line is now discards and the only thing motivating two subpar guards gives us is one who sucks less than the other. I know the OL has to operate as a unit but with at least 2 of the three pieces being weak (assuming Hairston gets back soon), who will cover for who ? And we are not even having a conversation about depth, this is about the starting OL

Not sure what to make of your comment. Are you saying I should be happy and ecstatic about the situation ? Right. We were in a great position and bringing a rookie QB to play behind a solid OL would really show us the true O potential.

And we have come full circle. This is the same pair that Marrone was unhappy about and caused this thread. So it ends with Marrone exploring options and concluding this is the best battle possible at this time. Kinda depressing.

Thanx, Astro. This is one post I really look forward to every day of TC
