Zulu Cthulhu

He did touch the ball once on the last drive. Once.

It's ok. There ain't a stick long enough to poke all the way through the bull **** that gets dumped around here

Looks like O Won the popular vote as well. Again.

We should have a functional offensive playbook that utilizes all (or at least most) of the field before our mad genius of a coach starts implementing gimmicks and wrinkles like the wildcat and using roster spots to fill the formation. Everything is assbackward as usual at OBD.

Im all for optimism, but not when you're pulling things out of thin air. NE's defense is not much worse than ours, not this year. They're better.

Straight outta left field with the volek post - i like it. Keeps us on our toes.

I don't even think he was starting. He came in after the Herrimann injury didn't he?

I don't even know where to start...

So which is it genius? Cut the players or fire the coaches? Or both? Who replaces them now, mid-season? Come on, you seem full of answers and insight. Or at least full of something.

So the solution on D is to put a guy who hasn't produced in years at any position in a new position and see what happens? No. We go over this with Merriman again and again. Ah, but you want to put Merriman at LB only in blitz subpackages? Something tells me opposing coaches would pick up on that fairly quickly. Look, there isn't any magic personnel trickery to be employed here. The players just have to perform better (at their natural positions.) There's a lot of young guys on this defense; they may improve as the season goes forward. It has happened before.

Reid's reputation is so low right now I think many other teams would still take another shot on vick, blaming most of his troubles on the coaching.

Starting out pretty slow...but good drive by denver.

I opted out as well due to their annoyance. Never received a flood of them like the plaintiff claims though. It has to be due to a glitch as someone else above suggested.

If all he does is win, why aren't the Jets playing him? Last i checked they were 3-4, and could've used some of those patented Tebow wins over the last seven weeks.

All hockey teams do that, because all hockey teams have goons to dispatch that won't hesitate to target a specific injured body part had they the knowledge of what it was.

Derp...haven't we covered the answer in depth several times regarding Merriman and others? It's why every year around draft time you hear about all those "hybrid" OLB/DEs. Come on man.

I assume the nature of the injury and procedure will come out eventually. Reporters (if they do their jobs) will keep asking until someone on the team caves and gives specifics.

Looks good. New director, but i liked 'Kiss, Kiss, Bang Bang'.

Let's not interrupt the hate fest.

Great job wedging in the gay jokes fellas. You'll all be writing for Leno someday im sure. Anyways i'm one to cut Mario some slack here. None of us know how serious this apparent wrist injury is. I give him credit for attempting to play through it and contribute to the team that made him the highest paid defensive player in the league, despite the training camp injury. Obviously it's not working out, but give him some credit for not crying hurt when he obviously is. Many of you gave Fitz credit for playing through his rib injury just last season.

Our tailbacks are very good as well. I wouldn't call the WRs OK, given the fact we only have 1 proven guy on that unit. None of it matters until the most important position on the team is significantly improved, and that ain't happening this year.

As long as we are talking fundamentals, how about fundamental English T master? Man, you make good points sometimes but reading your posts is like deciphering the rosetta stone. It's called proofreading bro, learn to love it.

That's about the only way to respond to OP's post. Amazing set of assumptions and a total absence of any supporting facts.

If they were throwbacks they'd probably have worn the throwback helmets. I think it's just a different color combination they started.

It's getting harder and harder trying to keep track of all the bad throws Fitz makes week after week.
