Spiderweb

Give 'em hell Harry, er...Nick.

Good news, I too loved what I saw of this guy in the preseason, the little he got to play. He reminded me of a player from the the dreaded Cowboys back in their heyday. Remember a guy named Moose Johnson?

The bottom line is that stealing is just, well, stealing. What I find utterly ridiculous is the illogical rationalizing people do to support their theft. I'm a strong defender of "Fair Use', which has served not only the consumer and electronic manufacturers well, but also the Music and Movie industries. However, that is based on the premise that you obtained whatever you're copying, editing, etc., legally and that whatever you're doing with it is for your own use and benefit. I guess maybe we should just all become Anarchists, then there would be no rules and we could freely set aside morality, decency, character, logic and just plain common sense, so that we can please ourselves anyway we like without worring about anyone else. Now that would be a nice world, wouldn't it? Sad to say, some have already taken the initial steps...... Yes, allowing your child to steal is not being a good parent.

Drop over at Newegg.com and check out the 16x DVD (dual layer) burners. They're dirt cheap. Decent ones starting in the $60.00 plus range IRCC.

I'm still in the "wait and see" mode, but with McGahee coming on, the play of Big Sam Adams, McGee, Evans, Spikes, Fletcher, etc., I believe he hasn't done anywhere near as badly as some around here say he has. Far more talent on this team than what we had back in 2001. One area he has excelled (A+) is on the financial side, and not just the cap. He's run the front office very professionally and has managed to put rear ends back in the seats at the Ralph.

From the land of the Buckeye, I'll add my 2 cents. Dish Network does has more favorable package prices, although DirecTV gets a slight edge in Premium packages (check them side by side). With that said, I've been a long time Dish Network subscriber, who left them for DirecTV (got a one year deal for approx 35/mo that included free HBO & Cinemax for an entire year - promotion was aimed at Big Dish users, of which I had until about 2.5 years ago). So for a brief time I had a Big Dish, DirecTV, and Dish Network, scattered around our home. At the end of the one year commitment to DirecTV, I went back to Dish Network. I (personal taste) have thought that Dish actually had the best PQ (Picture Quality) by slight margin over DirecTV (sorry Fez...). Both are highly compressed and neither compare with the best signals I received off the Big Dish, but the Big Dish signals varied widely from transponder to transponder and satellite to satellite. Too much so for my tastes. Also, there was regular maintenance and the equipment was far too expensive in the long run. Back in the early 90's, big dish had phenominal package (programming) prices, but last I checked, they're now no better than the small satellite. DirecTV does have the edge in equipment. Channel surfing seems to have less lag, guides load faster, the preview screen is far quicker loading compared to Dish Networks, and they have Tivo (superior to Dish's offering in functionality and capability). I just wish they would be more flexible and still offer a lower tier package like Dish's at a similar cost. So, the Dish Network remains for now with DirecTV providing me with just the NFL Sunday Ticket and the NFL channel. I was advised early this summer by a DirecTV telphone rep that I would no longer be able to do this next year. She stated that the NFL Sunday Ticket will only be offered to those who have a DirecTV package. I guess we'll see on this. If so, it's back to DirecTV of course.

Logic??? Maybe you should learn the art . Most here have been bashing Drew, but they're simply acknowledging that he played solid (save the three picks) . No one is promoting him as "our" guy, at least not the 95% you speak of...

Roger that.....

LMAO...damn Pepsi all over my monitor again....

Talk about a "Joe Bag of Doughnuts".

Give the guy a break. What truely mattered were the drives. Yeah, he threw three picks, granted, but he also drove the team down the field with consistency we haven't seen in a long long time. Three of the four scores McGahee had were short runs that were set up by Drew's successful passing. McGahee, beyond the "lateral" on 4 & 1, really was not any more of a factor than to keep Seattle's defense honest (other than his ability to not waste TD opportunities when down near the goal line). This is not to take away from McGahee, but those opportunities came from Drew's arm to get us close. His passer rating was not great due to the heavy penalty those three picks impose, but the passer rating also did not take into account the drives, the 9 for 11 (approx) on third down, etc. This was a game in which the passer rating was a bit mis-leading. (that's for you Stevestojan). Over the course of a season, a QB rating is a solid measurement of a QB's performance, but from a game perspective, they don't always tell the real story or at least not the complete story. This was one of them. No more a a perfect example were some of RJ's numbers (QB rating). His were considerably higher for the most part, but we all know the outcome of that experiment.

Is that the Guinness award...?

And despite what some others here have said, Price is not a capable LT. He's simply not quick enough. He's an adequate RT backup, but I cringe when he plays the LT spot.

Ah, but they did blitz, somewhat frequently, and the telling tale on how the Bills sought to handle it was summed up with that beautifull 4 yard pass to Campbell in the red zone that he ran another 10-12 yards on to the Seahawks 2 or 3 yard line. Campbell starts his route, the LB or SS blitzed going right past him, he stops turns and Bledsoe pops him the ball. Nice........... It's already been said here but the play calling was as good as we've seen in a long time. We actually were able to counter a blitz effectively with some very solid counterpuches. The only negatives were the three picks, but Bledsoe did lead and finish more successful drives yesterday than he has in a long time, so overall he was effective.

Aw, that's just great... Now I have to wash Pepsi off my monitor....LOL

How dare you disagree with the one who's great in his own mind?

Sure, it's the "Frozen H20" University of mindless obnoxiousness.

Tired hell, we've been drinking all day too. Had a nice post game celebration tonight. Tomorrow we begin to focus on this weeks game at Miami. LOL

I'm not so sure JP is ready. It's also no sure thing he's got the stuff either. Physically, it's there but we seen physically talented QB's before (fairly recently) that couldn't play the position. Bledsoe looked like a NFL QB today, but I have to agree, those 3 picks were simply bad throws and bad decisions. That's something an NFL QB cannot do very often and expect to win, let alone in the fashion we did today. If and when we're mathematically eliminated, or JP PROVES he's ready, give JP a start and let's see what he can do. I liked what I saw of him this past preseason, but let's also remember, he was playing against camp fodder by the time he got into the games in which he appeared. One thing was impressive today, and that was the play of Evans who's beginning to look very good. The kid has some toughness about him along with great physical talent.

Yes, he falsely claimed he had $6K (approx, can't remember specifically), worth of stuff stolen. It was said that he could have been chg'd with a felony, but since I'm not a fan of his or OSU, I didn't follow the story very closely. I can say this, if anyone thinks this low life hasn't any serious character flaws, have I got some real estate for you.... I should add that living here in Dayton, OH, I heard more about this punk than I ever cared to hear, or ever want to hear again. He's Cowboy material anyway. Maurice and Jerry Jones would make a great pair.

God bless them both. Keep us posted.

How true. Had Winfield made that pick (he laughed about dropping it), he had no one to stop him from scoring and we win that game. That drop was just like the numerous others he had while here. Winfield did not wish to stay a Bill, period. I also remember he had agreed in principal with the Jets and was to sign with them, and all of sudden, he went to Minny and signed his big deal there. Walked on us and used the Jets. Not impressed with the "character" shown with this. Yet, it was always about the $$$ and he did maximize his take so.... Good corner, who despite his size is outstanding in run support (text book tackler). What compensation did we get for his loss?

Maybe Schobel will hit the weights a bit more this off season and add 10-15 pounds of muscle. Kelsay seem to play "stronger" if that mades sense...

We have both a 36" Sony Wega (weight - forget it! 300 lbs give or take) and when the kids game room TV died after many years of solid service, I replaced it with a 27" Sony Wega (Best Buy) and paid $319.00. Of all the TV's we have (7), the 27" probably has the best overall PQ and the 36" one cost $1100.00 more. Haven't sprung for HD yet (cost), but someday.....
