I remember sort of hoping we'd run because I could see Fitz throwing a pick. But then I remembered we were running the ball horribly (after the 80 yard run), and that a FG wouldn't be enough to win with our D. I then determined I'd rather see us attack and get that score to put it on their O to score a TD (which they weren't able to do). So, the call was a fade into the endzone to a wide open Stevie. It's all Fitz here. Fitz, just like any other NFL QB, needs to, and SHOULD make that pass 100% of the time. ...You'd think he had learned after the first one (obviously, Gailey thought he had).

It's also worth noting that a collapse (say, 8-8?) would still have us farther ahead than last year, meaning there was a year-to-year improvement since Chan came in.

...That catch by Lloyd on the sidelines was perfectly placed- where only he could get it.

Yes, Jackson is taller. Yet, unlike most taller running backs, he runs small.

Doesn't he look kind of like Thurman? I mean, I'm not trying to start anything here. I legitimately think, when I watch his posture while he runs, the way he moves his hips, and holds the ball, and the way he finds the holes, he looks like Thomas. Granted- not half as fast.

LOL

Kinda hot, and yet, kinda looks like she could beat me up.

NO WONDER we didn't recognize him...

Heh- there are 2 other companies- Cox and Comcast. But, despite not having NFLN, TimeWarner is head and shoulders above the other two.

He certainly is tough to take down once he's got the ball.

Is that what the message boards said?

My girlfriend looked over my shoulder and asked if that was the Karate Kid

I've been thinking the same thing. Thought I was the only one who noticed...

That's incredible. 1 - These fans are probably more negative about their team than we have been in the past. 2 - How many times have we enjoyed other teams' fans (just like the Eagles' fans) throwing their hands up and assuming they just can't stop the Bills offense without a ton of pressure? I think it's so cool.

Roscoe's health is repeatedly linked to his size as compared to others in the NFL. It's funny, however, to note that all of his injuries tend to be self-inflicted. He fell on his wrist and broke it. He stepped wrong on his ankle and sprained it. The guy isn't too small- more like he's 90 years old and can't handle a slip on the ice.

Nope, not even close to worth the long-term damage it could cause our rebuilding team. Lloyd retires and then we are a draft pick short, and a receiver short, when we could have been playing someone else. It's stupid anyway- it's not like our #2 is gone forever, he's just injured.

LOL

Ha, on the second Eagles drive in the 4th qtr when Desean Jackson catches the cross and runs like 30 yards, and at the end, the commentators like, "I think there was a bit of a hold there..." then gets cut off by the other announcer. Then the next play where Vick scrambles to the left side, Carrington is clearly held and the commentator says, "Looks like he got away with a little hold there..." as he continues to analyze the play. Hahahahaha it was all over the place.

:worthy:

This would be so embarrassing

Are you suggesting we lose to the dolphins?

The Steelers won a close game that they "should" have lost last season because the other team's receiver dropped a pass that landed right in his bread basket (good karma). That team played in last year's Super Bowl. For the last time- good teams win. I am serious in saying that the concept really is difficult to understand, especially when you've been on the wrong side of "karma" and truly believed we were snake-bitten and not just bad. We have to get over it though. The team is 4-1, and that's what matters.

It was crazy- there was NO ONE open.

It's still a matter of tightening a few things up. Defense gives up a few less yards, the offense gets into a better rhythm (hard with your whole WR corps injured), and things are just fine. We play some really really good offenses, and all we really need to do is a better job of keeping up on offense rather than expect the D to do it for us. It CONTINUES to be majorly an issue of playing 1 half per game.

Not to ruin the thread that I started or anything but to be honest the problem is not so much the defense giving up huge yardage (though it would be nice to keep the score a bit lower) but also the offense missing on opportunities. I suppose you can't ask much more from an offense than 30 ppg, but when they have 5 turnovers to work with, you should see a lot more. That wouldn't make the defense look better, but it would put us out of reach.
