  1. I think, given the disaster that is this football season, the Jills should fire all the cheerleaders and bring in a bunch like they did in "The Replacements." That should keep the stands full the rest of the season.
  2. Actually, you might view the punting unit as one of our biggest problems last night. Because Moorman was punting the ball so far, the Pats ended up having to move the football that much further to get to the end zone. All that did was give the Pats a huge edge in time of possession. Had Moorman shanked a few, the Pats would have had a much shorter field, and we would have gotten the ball back a lot faster.
  3. You're going that fast, in traffic, with little shoulder, and you're wearing an iPod? And you think your biggest problem is the dog?
  4. Oh man, those "Ask MM" and "Ask TD" articles were just painful to read. Why do they even bother with them anymore? I think politicians give more insightful answers to questions that either of these guys.
  5. I don't care what anybody says...that INT to Troy Brown was the ultimate insult, not to mention an absolutely horrible throw. I'll say it right now, I never want to see that guy play another down for us again. I'm horrified to even think about it.
  6. It's only the second time ever, apparently.
  7. Somehow I knew everyone here would be creaming in their pants when they heard about Peters....
  8. At last, all of life's questions answered.....and I have TSW to thank
  9. Great. As long as we're at it, what the hell is cowbell?
  10. This one was awesome: Is that what they call subtle humor?
  11. Absolutely....though you also have to wonder if Big Sam's tirade on the sideline might have something to do with it as well... Here's hoping Gray isn't yet another DC who falls prey to that bastard Charlie Weis...
  12. I don't know that he necessarily needs 150 yards per se, what we really need is to keep running him without getting cute, and getting first downs. That's the most important thing; let Willis get his 3-4 yards on first and second down, and then do whatever it takes to convert the first down. If we can do that, particularly in the first half, it will help tremendously. That's what allows us to wear defenses down in the second half. If Willis and the team can do that and gain only 100 yards, that should still be fine. What I'd really like to see, though, is Willis break a long one.
  13. Granted, 3 out of the last four offenses were pretty putrid, but seeing that the Jets popped 158 on us in the first game and we were able to cut that precisely in half the second time around...well, it just gives a guy hope.
  14. I was going over some of our game stats, since it seemed like our defense has been doing an incredible job this season, particularly in the second half. In fact, our defense has done a pretty amazing job in the second half. In the last four games, the defense has held the opponent to less than 100 yards of offense in the second half, and has done so in 5 out of the 8 games thus far. Better yet, this defense is averaging 89.75 yards allowed in the second half for the entire season. That is pretty amazing, particularly when you consider that we have been competitive in every game right up until the end. So no heavily conservative offenses protecting leads in the second half. Here is the second half yardage breakdown, for those interested: Jets - 79 yards allowed Cards - 95 yards allowed Ravens - 17 yards allowed Dolphins - 36 yards allowed Jets - 158 yards allowed Pats - 143 yards allowed Raiders - 70 yards allowed Jags - 120 yards allowed I can live with that.
  15. Who are you and what have you done with the real FFS???
  16. Am I the only one who was hoping he meant Bledsoe?
  17. I think I would like to meet FFS someday just to see if he talks the same way that he writes.
  18. I respectfully request that you all stop this perfectly logical football-related discussion. This thread was started with nothing but pure sarcasm and you're making a complete mockery of it!
  19. Ask myself, "What the hell am I doing here?" and apply for another job.
  20. A friend of mine from Turkey gave me a 1,000,000 Turkish Lira bill. I'm a millionaire! Jokingly, I asked, "What is this worth, about 75 cents?" Just checked, and I was close. 68 cents, actually.
