no, there are very very few qb's in the nfl worse than jp. he's just a mistake making machine, and he can't sustain drives. he stinks.

as bad as that was, and as crap as our D is with 3 of our stating secondary out (whitner was out at one point) we would have had some kind of chance if jp sack and turn over machine losman wasn't playing. he is so un clutch it is funny. we need trent healthy and our D is only good if they stay fresh and we can run the ball and keep our O on the pitch. let down game and we deserved to lose.

lol you see what just happened? he is just as bad at the sacks, worse with turnovers, and his production is terrible.

nope he is an equal sack and scramble threat as jp, but he is accurate and is not a turnover machine. jp is inaccurate and a turnover machine. he has a lot of rare talent but absolutely none of the mechanics or brains to be an nfl qb.

jp is worse than rj. the only thing he has over him is not getting hurt as much. i'm not giving up on the team, but we need to figure out how to mix run and pass better and our D just sh1t the bed big time today.

jp is a horrible qb. he is a turnover and sack machine, but he can chuck a great long ball -- that's always been his story and that was the story today. our d has been really bad the past 2 weeks. stroud hasn't done a thing in the middle, and now that half our secondary is hurt and we have a rookie (albeit a 1st rounder) in there, we are getting picked apart. let's hope edwards is healthy after the bye week, and our d figures out how to get its head out of its collective ass so we can get to 5-1

these refs are dirty effing whores

30 yards different between the 2 teams, and we have a turnover. we need to suck it up and effing run down their throats and stop em again, break em.

we look like we are running a soft cover 2 zone trying to confuse warner. we need to get up on him, hit him, blitz, and hurt him.

I SAID IT, JP CAN RUN AND THROW BOMBS, SO DO IT!!

sad how gutless our is being today. it's like we just won't blitz, and we are lost out there.

wtf? lol, i swear jp should run or throw a 70+ yarder to lee every damn down!

so was that sack on losman?

i think the fish are the 2nd team in the afc east right now.

nice guy coaches can win in the nfl. imo the nice coaches have to have a ruthless edge tho -- that comes from cutting, signing, trading, and starting players as a ruthless meritocracy. so if a guy beats out the starter, he gets in, if a guy doesn't perform, he is cut and replaced. if the performance isn't there the consequence has to be change. dungy is good like that -- guys like him but if he doesn't like how the guy plays, the guy is gone or replaced. i THINK dicky j is like that too.

i will say i would not want to play tennessee in nashville. they are a strong tough physical team, i think we need all of our young guys healthy and making plays consistently to beat them. if it comes down to the playoffs, i REALLY hope that game is in a cold snowy (but not windy!) buffalo stadium with 70K losing their sh_t cheering the bills on. the whole team is huge and vicious and their coach is very good and has been to the bowl before, if we beat them i think we will be able to beat dallas/ny/whoever in the bowl.

whah wah wah!! I'M A BLEEDING HEART!! people who buy and use coke are responsible for their own down fall, just like people that die from smoking or drinking or being massive fat asses.

whether or not drugs should be illegal (not) moving heavy weight is the domain of slick ruthless smart detail oriented guys. i can't think of a person who less fits this description than travis henry. he would lose a game of chess to a well painted strip of wood fencing.

i think we can lose one or two corners and be good, just like it looks like we have have a fall off in peters' play and still be good. whitner is more of a leader, but has a couple years left and as a safety will be cheaper than a corner. lynch and edwards are our real stars, but are in the 2nd year of 5 year contracts, i think evans gets done this year. so while i'd rather keep greer, if we get a solid interior o lineman, te, or pass rusher in place of him i think we make our team better. although bill is against it (maybe he will come around one day) having depth at corner is important because you might need to put 4 of them on the pitch at once. two all world guys are great, but if your 3rd and 4th guys are crap then you are up a creek (look at denver).

i'm well aware of what the bailout (most recent one that failed anyhow) contains, but the results if it does or does not pass are not clear, and everyone who is close to the issue is close to the issue -- they have a lot of interest in one result. no matter what i'm fairly certain something will happen, but there could be an extention of the fed's backstop for the fdic, or just a bunch of pumping by the fed. there are lots of ways this could happen, but congress will have to be sold on whatever way will happen. the moral hazard is there too.

it's loans made to people who can't/won't pay them back. look up where the subprime defaults were, just do the math.

but then the question is how much will the problem be corrected in the long term, vs reflation? and what if the bailout isn't enough, what if there are still failures, and how much liquidity is being crowded out (including assests that the gov is willing to buy under the bailout) that will find its way even without the bailout? it seems from where i am sitting the bailout will help, but i'm on wall street and talking my book. if i'm a regular guy who lost money or an entire house, have some 401k that i don't need for a while, have reasonable certainty that my credit cards will work and that my cash in the bank is ok, i don't see how the bailout benefits me as much as wall street.

true (well it seems that way) but how different will it be? the fed is picking up a ton of slack, but question still remains: exactly what happens to who if the bill doesn't pass? i don't think there is much certainty here on either side.

the mkt is reversing (about 35% or so) the moves from yesterday. perhaps the bill isn't as important as it is being made out to be.

it's a bit of damned if you do damned if you don't. there are a lot of bad things (including the slippery slope we step onto) associated with the bailout, but the 64 dollar question is what happens if we don't? a good (but far from certain) result with no bail out is we have the fed just continue to flood liquidity into the market as necessary, some players go down but not too many (and with the result of positive cannibalization) and credit markets continue, just with much higher prices on borrowing. a bad (and far from impossible) result is a mini depression/big recession. this thing reeks of a bit of a rush job tho, perhaps something needs to be done but can we be certain the right thing will be done? lots of chances to cut this off at the pass were missed in the past 10+ years, hopefully (fat effing chance) the correct adjustments will be made that should have been before (including freddie and fannie, the boondoggles that they are).
