Fan in Chicago

And mine ... "I am writing to express my total disgust over your coverage of Oct. 30th, 2005's Sunday night game between the Patriots and Bills. - Were you covering the game or Bruschi ? I understand what he is doing is very brave. But you guys grossly over-did it. Every 3 minutes, every thing was related to Bruschi. Whatever happened to covering the game that is being played ? - During two key plays, Suzy Kolber cut in to talk about Bruschi and the Kraft interview. There was a turnover on the field of play and you continued to wax about something unrelated to the game. Sideline coverage should be reserved for breaks in game. - Your commentators don't have a spine. On two critical official calls, Paul said one thing ("That did not look like offensive pass interference on Moulds") but promptly changed it when the call was to the contrary ("Okay maybe it was PI, I agree with it when I saw it again"). Joe Theismann is the only saving grace of the three. I do wish you make some major changes to your format and style of coverage. else, I will hope you lose the next Sunday night contract."

Thank you. I sent my letter of disgust to them just now.

Kelly and UConn, exactly my thoughts. I said this when JP was benched and will say it again - KH is a very good backup but not a starter. As of now, he has done just enough to not be benched. But that is going to get us nowhere. Much as I dislike it, I think KH will continue to be the starter till we are statistically eliminated. And in this crazy parity-NFL, that may not happen till the last game of this season at which point we will have wasted this season.

CCD., Now i am totally confused. Weren't you calling for the benching of JP ? And now you are saying the QB is NOT the problem ? Changed your mind on this one ?

Don't hate

Okay, I will agree to disagree with you. Actually we are screw*d in more ways than one and this is not just a QB issue. Given that we are doomed to miss the playoffs, we might as well start JP.

I had a cystoscopy last month. Talk about pain ! I now partly appreciate the pain of childbirth and a woman's loss of virginity .....

Do you think KH is 'getting the job done' any better than JP was ?

I do agree with that last line - but with only that I agree. The problem is that given the miserable quality of teams in the AFC East, we may be tantalizingly close to the playoffs till the final game of the season. And we will miss the playoffs - we just don't have the quality of players to deserve a spot. Then what ? Start next season exactly as this one ? What have we achieved ? Is it better to win the battle this year (winning season) or the war (SB soon) ?

And why is that ? Isn't it better to have him learn and throw the long balls accurately than hanve KH who can throw the short balls accurately ? We are having three and out no matter who the QB is anyway. To me it is pretty clear that JP needs to come in soon, though not for the NE game. As with DB, we knew what we have with KH (an experienced, weak arm QB who can do well in relief but will suck as a starter). With JP, we don't know contrary to the opinion of bashers like CoachDickerson. We just haven't given him enough time to get the feel for the game and iron out his mistakes. Boomer and Marino had both said he needs to sit for a couple of games and soak in the pace of the NFL. I went with that logic as they know more about being QBs than me (duh !). But 'couple of games' are up and after our OL does their best tissue paper imitation against NE, let us make major changes to the OL and put in JP.

My list of scary movies (looks like almost all have been mentioned in this thread): - The Ring (and yes, part 2 sucked) - Grudge/Ju-On - Poltergiest - Shining - Psycho (the original) - Exorcist Not very scary but good to watch: - Invasion of the body snatchers - Final Destination - Friday the 13th - Misery - Omen (part 1) - Scream

I am sure you forgot to put '1' before 800 or forgot the sarcasm smiley.

Sorry, but I tuned into that program late so I don't know.

Boomer was among those that called for JP to sit out a couple of games after the NO game. He also picked Jax over Cincy last week.

Thanx.

After this thread hijack, let me ask the original question again- will he play this weekend ?

I will be happy if we string together one win in a row.

I didn't even know there was a surprise ending before I watched it. I enjoyed* the movie and it would have been good even without that ending. *I use the word 'enjoy' very loosely in this context.

I was quite disappinted with Crash. I rented it due to the topics it was supposed to cover and found it to be too contrived. The movie did not develop naturally and felt like a hodge-podge of sequences which have racial overtones to them. It also seemed to imply that everyone is a racist in some shape or form. If that is the premise then I question where normal human tendencies stop and the label of racism begins.

Definitely start of "Football players behaving badly"

So there was no widespread boards and places for fans to express themselves to call it 'running him out of town'. But fact is they thought he was a punk and would never take the NFL seriously. If we let KH play out the rest of this season, it will be no different than Favre with Atlanta.

Given the talent or lack-thereof on the OL, it may be good to dumb down the offense and see what happens. I think the coaches are getting too creative and ambitious with a green QB and poor OL talent. This is simply compounding the problem. I still think our Miami win had nothing to do with the QB switch.

Probably not. We will collectively run him out of town as Atlanta did Favre. JP will go to Green Bay, get mentored by red-shorts himself and give them a franchise QB for the next 10 years. That would be my bet.

Don't know about him, but I have two and I still agree with him. What's your point ?

This one gets my vote for post of the day !
