  1. stopped reading at flutie despite his deficiencies he was a classic winner. amazing how he compensated and found ways. dont know how anybody can say he wasnt a winner regardless of extent
  2. the transition to 3-4 absolutely kills '10 i said 5-11 for '09 and only a christine chambers td drop prevented that. before the season i even nailed the 'colts playing for nothing bills playing for illusions' re the run-for-the-bus game 4-12 in '10
  3. dont wear jerseys of current players, it only feeds into hero worship i have about thirty jerseys, none are ever current players nostalgia and style are far better expressions dickerson, jordan, martinez (petey), perreault, thurmal, those guys will do you right and of course, meathead
  4. its still completely astonishing to me that most people couldnt care less that he cheated THEY HAD THE OTHER TEAMS DEFENSIVE SIGNALS even jp would have been good if our offensive coordinator KNEW WHAT DEFENSE THE OPPONENT WAS PLAYING its like a collective insanity
  5. excellent craziest post of the year candidate
  6. as in incentive they put a woman artist on the course
  7. teach him how to play chess. rooks never commit a crime
  8. absolutely no way would i give even one 2nd for mcnabb let alone two like it or not, '10 is a wash. i cant imagine how a team w/o a qb and switching defenses has any chance at the playoffs. why in the hell would you want to throw high picks away for an aging player in that situation? that deal would be for solid teams that need a vet qb to round out the squad, not a team thats trying to figure out where to wipe its own butt keep the picks and find a retread veteran qb for '10. lord knows they are out there
  9. paw didnt go much for book larnin did he mike
  10. now that the colts managed to dislodge the horseshoe stuck up the jets collective asses i see them returning to abjectively mediocre status next season, dirty sanchez or not
  11. and can we please stop referring to the k-gun as some kind of magic system the kg worked cuz it had four hofers, three wofers, and a couple more probowlers that package would normally handicap an offense cuz it doesnt have enough variety. if you manage to get it to work again its cuz it just happens to fit your personnel, not cuz the system is some silver bullet
  12. well the eagles lost on the darwin walker trade and probably won on the peters trade so time for a tie breaker
  13. its amazing how people get the whole Marv as GM thing totally wrong Marv wasnt a traditional GM. everybody knew the whole time that he was only staying two seasons, he said that up front. therefore, his job by default becomes that of a consultant - someone to come in and tell you how to run your business but does not make decisions regarding your business. thus he is judged by a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT (almost) standard than a traditional GM. he was an architect and orchestrator of the business, NOT a decision maker the exception was the Jauron hire, which was mostly his decision. that was really the only actual decision that Ralph put in Marvs hands that means Marv was NOT responsible for and should not be held accountable for: - the draft selections - the free agent signings - the marketing decisions (ie. toronto) for everything except the Jauron hire I give Marv an A for his work here as consultant/fake GM for the Jauron hire i give him an F thus his overall grade for the consulting work is at least a C+/B- the only other thing i could fault him on is the 'network management' they put in place under him, but thats only because i used to work in mgmt and i hated that structure because you spend too much time negotiating instead of making decisions and moving. but a lot of people like that kind of mgmt by committee approach and it CAN work if done properly. so really i dont even count that criticism because its not his fault that style collapsed after he left which brings me to his defense of Jauron: i love Marv but i just flat out disagree that dick could have turned it around here. i would love to sit down with Marv and talk details about Jaurons tenure to see exactly what Marv saw that makes him think dick could have turned out to be a good HC cuz i sure as hell cant see it. saying Marv is just defending his decision is too simplistic an answer, Marv is not that type and he must believe what hes saying, i just dont understand what that could be Jauron might have been a good coach Mon-Sat but from what i saw, Jaurons gameday decision were just atrocious way too often. he had an incredible knack for choosing exactly the wrong times to either go for it or punt. he also didnt hold players accountable for mistakes and thus they just kept repeating. the crowning glory was actually defending (!!) mcknumbnuts for not protecting the ball on an absolutely crucial kickoff return. Dick should have went up to mckdipshet and told him 'if you fumble i will rip your gonads out with my teeth', but instead he says 'i dont have a problem with him trying to make a play' omfg. if thats his attitude he will NEVER EVER EVER be a good hc. i like the guy personally, hes also probably the smartest guy in the room, but if he doesnt know to hold pampered primadonnas accountable for making the stupidest mistakes inhumanly possible then he should just forget about being in charge of a team full of them so to sum up: - people who say Marv sucked as a GM are just completely ignorant of the reality of what that situation was - Marv did a great job on everything except the Jauron hire, which was a failure - Dick should never be a HC again and im glad as hell hes gone
  14. my first game sam bam cunningham chugs eightysome yards down the sideline on the opening play from scrimmage exactly straight toward my seat in the lower endzone. i can still see his churning legs in my mind. i was hooked
  15. based on whats happened with bflo qbs the last decade i feel completely comfortable calling brohm the savior
  16. of course you realize its not really ralph jim and thurm and darryl pitched in and had animatronics installed in ralphs body and are controlling everything he does so yeah, it might really get done this time. right after they xfer that ten mil each into their own accts, which im fine with
