  1. Pretty cool to see. My old work colleague is now the guitarist for The Killers, pretty crazy to see the guy from the cubicle at work now rocking out in front of thousands (and now entertaining my team).
  2. You got it, bud. Just went camping up in the Uintas a couple weeks ago, it was amazing.
  3. Sure, you do you.
  4. He's taking on a lot more, but it's not like he's got a great win percentage, so I'm not sure how you conclude that's "killing it." He's doing his job, basically, which is to occupy blockers. He's not necessarily beating them. Like I said, he's doing better than Ed, but that's not the same as killing it.
  5. Not sure I'd say exactly that. DaQuon is clearly getting more double teams, but his win rate is only slightly higher than Ed's. Now, that does imply that DaQuon is doing better than Ed because he's winning a bit more often against more guys, but I don't think I'd look at that graph and think DaQuon is "killing it." All that said, I'm very happy how DaQuon has been playing. Pretty happy with Ed, too, if I'm being honest.
  6. I mean, Salt Lake is a pretty awesome place to live. It does get below 45 in the winter, but usually not that much below it. Good golfing, great healthcare (natch), SLC is an excellent airport hub, Park City is a 25 minute drive away, amazing skiing/hiking/camping options in short driving distance, 5 national parks in the state, 2 more across the borders (NV and WY), something like 300 days of sun per year, fiber internet everywhere, and so on. And no, you don't have to be a Mormon to enjoy it here. And yes, you can also ski and golf in the same day. Some have even gone skiing in July some years.
  7. Very sad. My favorite line of hers from Downton Abbey.
  8. It's promising, but I'd like to see how he does against an offense with a good running game and a strong TE before I anoint him as the new starter over Milano.
  9. Would be really nice. I've read that CB and Douglas have become close friends. It would be great if we could somehow keep both, but I doubt we have the cap space.
  10. "I paid $450 a piece for this."
  11. Not a popular opinion, but I love the white-on blues.
  12. Just addressing why there was such a shift last year. This year we probably just have better depth to deal with injuries at key positions.
  13. ...to starters! Grable sounds like he'll be out for several weeks with a groin injury.
  14. Let's see how Brady performs against the Chiefs this year—in the regular season and, hopefully, in the playoffs. If he gets us past them, then I'll worry.
  15. All three of our running backs getting TDs Damar (someone was cutting onions in my house) Shakir getting up from that TD play (thought he was injured for sure) Ingram...making yet another play? Uncanny. Solomon and Toohill grabbing the stat sheet Von still on track for 17 sacks this season Countless passes defensed in spectacular fashion Both starting QBs in ballcaps on the sidelines McCorkle doing McCorkle things Mitch and Andreessen on the field for cleanup duty What a night.
  16. Outstanding work.
  17. We're all loving them right now, but I imagine we also were pretty high on Dorsey about this time last year when we were sitting at 3-1 after three straight demolitions of the Raiders, Commanders, and Dolphins. Who knows what will happen when adversity comes knocking?
  18. Very true. It also remains to be seen how the coaches will adapt once their tendencies are better known, but also when they go up against a really good defense as well.
  19. We'll definitely lose at some point, but as you say, that's okay. We may even put up a stinker, like last year's Jags game. But that's okay too. Love the way this team has come together. I'd like to see how they do when they're really put to the test, like on the road against a team with a strong defense.
  20. It's also why you gotta hit the big ones when they're available. I'd like to see Josh hit those more...the miss to MVS didn't ultimately hurt, but that's the kind we really need him to hit when it's there.
  21. Nice. Cool to see some of those old names again. I've been around forever, but I have no idea when I started posting.
  22. Sure, but nevertheless the guy is 2-0 in his career against the Bills. No matter how underwhelming he is or how poor his teams are, he still somehow finds a way to win against us. That has to count for something.
  23. Agreed. I don't know why or how these coaches just out think themselves and make boneheaded calls. The Browns game was the same thing. Browns had the ball with 1:37 left to go on the Jags 38 with a 3rd and 6. Jags just used their last timeout, can't stop the clock anymore. Down 5, their only hope is to somehow get the ball back and score a TD. If the Browns run the ball, they make the first down and ice the game, or they don't and punt the ball back to the Jags, who will likely get the ball deep in their own territory with what should be well under a minute left and the entire length of the field to go. So what do the Browns do? Swing pass, incomplete, clock stops. Punt, Jags get the ball at their own 10 with 1:27 left. They got all the way to the Browns 33 before a couple of incomplete passes iced it for the Browns, but not after having to sweat it out unnecessarily.
