To add, we were a fricking joke before Nix got here- we haven't been since. Whaley got foisted upon the guy, and because it was a condition to get his one shot at being a GM in 73 years of honing his football craft, he had to take EJ's #1 fan on to be his appointed successor. What a mess Ralph created there. I don't know Buddy Nix, but I am sick of the stupid **** some people like to belt him with.

Bull crap. Nix was the best hire Saint Ralph made in his last 20 years of ownership. Remember that Fitz/Fred/Gailey beat down on the Pats*. We were on the upswing, and that was definitely Nix's team. It wasn't perfect, but the bitching about Nix, after what shape the team had just been through is definitely from the dumber quotient of our fanbase.

Brandy Branbean and the Mighty Apple Tree
BringMetheHeadofLeonLett replied to Mickey's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Don't sit under the rosen tree with anybody else but me... btw, anyone else have a bit of their childhood innocence mildly scorched when they realized, 'sitting under the apple tree' might have been a euphamism for sex during their parents' generation? Aughto be the greatest, dirtiest, generation, as far as I can tell -
The value of a franchsie QB

The Bucks are a permanently crappy basketball team, the Bucs are a bunch of creamsicle flaunters. -
Favorite Rock n Roll Bands?
BringMetheHeadofLeonLett replied to Buffalo716's topic in Off the Wall Archives
After all the selling out, and through the Townshend 'God knows what he did, to whom, if anyone, and why' era... The Who's still my rock 'n roll band. Beyond that I don't really have a clear-cut #2. Notables? - kinks, Mudhoney, nomeansno, Tom Petty, Sex Pistols, Stone Roses, Neil Young, Jefferson Airplane, X, Dinosaur Jr., Fugazi, Grateful Dead, Minutemen, Clash, Yardbirds. A bunch more beyond the dude rock stuff -

Where are the worst drivers located?
BringMetheHeadofLeonLett replied to Another Fan's topic in Off the Wall Archives
Washington State. I swear they learn to drive on the left side up there. Stopping burping farting confused cars all over the place. Living in Portland, when there's a problem, there's either a minivan, Prius, or a Washington plate at the head of it. Combining a Washington plate with a minivan or Prius should be illegal in the other 49 states. -
I'm hoping bigtime for something like this. Get Rosen, keep Taylor to start the season, and throw every other resource we have at builting a monstrous, deep offensive line. Let the coaches do what they can with the defense for now and start overhauling that side next year. If I were the Giants, I'd want something more like 8-9 & 22 plus a 1st next year, so I could see us first trading up to the top 10(losing more capital) to make it happen. I'd still be Thrilled with Rosen, a second/third this year an a second or a couple seconds next year. THRILLED!

Brady's Legacy
BringMetheHeadofLeonLett replied to metzelaars_lives's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
You're probably right that Brady would be considered the better QB if Montana were to play today, but I certainly would not think it'd be by a landslide. But if you take Brady and put him into a world before 'in the grasp' and all the QB protection rules had evolved the general ethics of the game, he would have been a forgotten footnote, I believe. For better, worse, or whatever, one of the underlying currents of 50's -80's...90's football was to decimate the opposing team's QB. It wasn't until the NFL saw some of their players as 'stars', who needed to be protected... because people want to see stars play, that through force of rules- in the grasp being the most blatant, they set sail on changing the mentality of the game. Brady time and again shows he gets rattled, bad, under pressure. I don't think he'd be in any discussions if he'd played in Montana's era or before. He's beyond great under the current ruleset, he's mind-blowing scary good, but I couldn't possibly consider him goat. Greatest of his era- you bet your bippy! -
Brady's Legacy
BringMetheHeadofLeonLett replied to metzelaars_lives's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Wouldn't that also mean the dominant defenses also had the same continuity in personnel? I think the 80's 49ers had something similar to the Jordan Bulls. The real heavyweights, Lakers/Celtics & Cowboys/Steelers, had laid to rest and there wasn't much of an established contender left. The Patriots are just a boring machine weeding through the entrails of the game of football. Greatest of all time my earlobe -
Yeah, seriously. I've basically liked his announcing over the years, but tonight he was gulping the TB12 solution or something. He was even rubbing off Michaels there towards the end.

Good hot sauce, football, the greatest comeback ever, and a fine coach to boot. I'd call that a life well lived. ) -

Vinatieri for the Tuck Rule win, Vinatieri for the SB win, Vinatieri, Vinatieri, loss to Giants, loss to Giants, Pete Carroll, Kyle Shanahan, loss to Eagles. Granted, by all rights they should have beaten the Giants at least once, but in the end, Brady is no Montana. And for whatever other thoughts on Montana to Rice, he won with Freddie Solomon and Earl Cooper, and no Ronnie Lott. -
I'm more of a gut guy when it comes to football. Nix was a good gut guy surrounded by a confused owner who made him work with the modern, stupid, analytics children. Shoot, he was even forced to hire Whaley. I feel for the guy- he got his GM shot, only to get his vision trampled upon by pointless, stupid, people influencing a senile, cheap, owner.
