Sisyphean Bills

Do you think Thigpen is worse now than he was last year? FWIW, I thought he looked really poor last preseason, and he was the #2 QB for the 2011 season.

TMI.

You must not have seen what I bolded. In other words, big !@#$ing deal that 3 of them are still on the team. It hasn't even been 3 years and this class is looking dreadful. As the foundation of Nix's rebuild plan, the 2010 draft truly is panning out to be nothing but mud.

Why aren't the Wilson fans piling on yet?

Aren't you setting the bar sort of low? I mean when gastropods are leaping it...

Egads! TJ might not be able to play on the turf!

Do the bodyguards have to dress him or is Jerrah hiring more servants for that?

No maybe about it. They made up for it in ticket sales though.

Nugget: Reggie Ball is available. Answer: Tarvaris Jackson

Rosalind Franklin still getting the shaft I see. <sigh> They wear better cleats, man. C'mon, keep up.

Speaking of Dolphins, Jeff Ireland might want to move to Brazil. The pitchforks, torches, tar, and feathers are selling briskly.

Saying Stevie won't be involved in any incompletions that count smacks of tongue-in-cheek, no? Especially after a Steelers game.

Must mean that Belichick doesn't know about flipping the switch.

Doomed!

Maybe he flipped the wrong switch.

I always thought Holmes was the brains in the outfit.

The risk being that Chan is the effective OC and OCs have been fired for bad preseasons? Chan being one of those same.

Did you know the W-L record in preseason has no correlation to the W-L record of the regular season?

Not sure how you get "the sky is falling" from a post that your trying to connect the dots between a team 20 years in the rearview mirror and what is happening now is lame, but ... ok, Francis. I fully understand that it is preseason. Fully and completely.

Yep. I was joking along with him. See emoticon.

The Colts of 2011 sucked in preseason and then ... oh wait, nevermind. The issue with these W-L record analyses of preseason schedules applied to good teams is that they don't actually consider what transpires within the context of the game. Peyton Manning and the Colts used the preseason games as tune ups. They would come out for a series or 3 in the first quarter, roll down the field against a vanilla defense like a blow torch through margarine, and then let the backups and camp fodder play the rest of the game. Those backups would stumble along and be lost for 2 or 3 quarters and the Colts would lose a meaningless game. The point is that there is no parallel to be drawn between that and, say, a preseason game where JaMarcus Russell comes out the first few series and throws 3 pick 6's in a row. Both team may have losing preseason records, but if one knows what they are looking at, the reasons are night and day.
