  1. Not sure this is such a good thing. Often when learning something new you learn at least as much through the failures as successes. We'll see what he does when we play them.
  2. Ws are the only stat that count in football. Holding the other team to the fewest points possible helps win. Saying that some statistical analysis shows one team is somehow the best D even though said team gives up more points is an incredibly ridiculous statement. Just win baby.
  3. I disagree. A defense's whole job is to keep the other team from scoring points. You get ZERO points for yards or starting field position etc. If you get into all that you are just turning it into statistical shenanigans. Who cares if a 7-9 team has bad field position if they give up TDs. Maybe according to statistical analysis they're good. So what? For a good D, good starting field position doesn't always translate into points. Just because the offense turns it over doesn't mean the defense is excused for rolling over and giving up a TD. Fewest points = best defense (IMHO)
  4. While there was a lot of things that I didn't like about Coach Marrone, we did have a winning season for the first time in 10 years, so I give him credit. Just as I give credit to Bill Clinton for a good economy even thoughtthe internet boom bubble was probably really responsible. Just the way it works. Top man gets credit for success and gets skewered for failure.
  5. And why couldn't he do the same with EJ or Cassell or Taylor? Oh yeah, I forgot, they suck. Never mind.
  6. How can Bills fans possibly not know that a strong D with a good run/ball control offense with an average QB can win a Super Bowl? Even if the other team has a "franchise QB" (HOF).
  7. I know I'm in the minority but I'm not worried. I think EJ is better than most of yall do evidently. And, Greg Roman is known for running an offense that maximizes the talent he has on hand. And when he went to San Fransisco they had big QB problems with Alex Smith as the starter. He sucked. Under Roman he turned out be pretty darn good. Then Alex gets hurt and he goes with Colin and does different stuff than he did with Alex. While we are watching (or at least reading tweets about) how our QBs are "struggling" during camp and think DOOOOOOOOOOMED, Greg Roman is watching and formulating a plan (probably with a lot of running and getting the football in Harvin and Clay and Sammies' hands). I watched an NFL Classic Game of the 85 Bears vs the Cheese. McMahon was horrible. Bears won because they got a safety and then the ball on the 50 on the ensuing free kick and Sweetness broke a couple of good runs including a 27 yard TD. That's our blue print. I expect it will work. Relax. Training Camp is the time for optimism.
  8. St. Louis and Philadelphia did it (Foles for Bradford). Chicago and Denver did a few years back (Orton for Cutler).
  9. Except the article says: "The tone of the call was informal and Clinton never urged Trump to run, the four people said. Rather, they said, Clinton sounded curious about Trump’s moves toward a presidential bid and told Trump that he was striking a chord with frustrated conservatives and was a rising force on the right."
  10. Boobie can also block punts. He blocked at least one last year, maybe two.
  11. Rex likes Tyrod and wanted him before etc. But it's not necessarily to be the starting QB IMHO. Every Rex team has 2 things, 1. A great Defense and 2. a slash QB. Tyrod was acquired to carry on the tradition of Brad Smith, Tim Tebow, and Michael Vick. If he wins the starting job, cool. But he's got the slash spot locked up.
  12. Which would take the shine off more, cutting him and looking bad (by someone, not sure who) or keeping a fumbler who perhaps could cost us another game?
  13. Several posters on PPP sound a lot like "regular Joe".
  14. Frank Zappa and Phyllis George are among my fellow alums.
  15. I have heard Mikr Singletary describe it as sending more guys at the QB than they have the ability to block.
  16. I voted for EJ. I know its a minority opinion, but I think he's good. He's good in crunch time. He has played well in the 4th quarter resulting in several wins. But really, I just want who plays best and gives us the best chance to win THIS YEAR. When the games begin next week I'll have a lot better of who I want.
  17. LOL I thought the way it worked was if someone spouted an opinion and someone else asked them to clarify, they would post up some explanation or link or something Germaine. Not a link to the Encyclopedia Britanica. Silly me. Sillier even is that you are the decider on who is worthy to discuss things. Have you read the whole Patriot Act like Magox? Impressive that he has.
  18. It's not and I never said it was. Keep your knowledge under your hat. Smart.
