Clay Matthews is plain stupid.

I'm a firm believer that if you can "invest" your "draft capital" into known perennial All Pro players, you should do it. Bears did the right thing. They have no friggen idea what player at what position is going to be available when they pick next year and in 2020. They know Mack is an All Pro impact player at two positions. Easy decision for them to make, imo .

And where's it written that draft capital has to be spent on draft picks vs. established All Pros?

No GM in his right mind will EVER give up multiple first round picks for Mack. Draft capital is too important in today's age. LMAO! This is what it looks like when a trade singlehandedly changes the balance of power in a division.

It’s all about seeing how they get off the mat after today’s debacle. I was not impressed with how they responded early after getting punched in the mouth, though. Doesn’t bode well imo.

This place is the worst place to be on game day during the game.

If you can’t pressure the QB sending four, you are screwed in today’s league, regardless of coverage scheme. We can’t. We’re screwed.

Looks like the same malfunction with the Sabres' stream as last night. Let us know if you find the alternative.

Talent trumps all. Not that coaching, teamwork, schemes etc. aren’t factors towards success, but it all starts with talent. That said, talent without “football character” is useless. World is littered with talented ex players who couldn’t/wouldn’t pay the necessary price.

This is what happens when national media pundits have only a nationally televised preseason game from which to draw their conclusions.

LOL! I was literally just going to pm you this link. Thanks, 26.

Are you actually able to stream it? It just buffers for me. Thanks.

Are you able to get this stream to work?

Kind of like when to serve a Gallo wine, we will start no QB before his time.

Yes, but only in the style patterned after an old ‘In Living Color’ skit, whereby I just use the first letter of the curse word followed but the word “word.” For example: What kind of stupid S-word, mother F-wording question is that? Do I swear? D-word right I do! Only way I can tolerate the countless dumb A-words I come across on a daily basis. The world is full of stupid C-word suckers just content with F-wording it up for the rest of us. Well, F-word that! You don’t like it, get your A-word out of here and go F-word yourself! Takes a little practice, but you get the hang of it after a while.

This again? Are we gonna have to tolerate these insufferable and pointless threads every time a traded player has a good game on national TV? Spilt milk, anyone? Bottom line is Darby is not a good fit for McDermott’s preferred schemes. That’s a coach’s prerogative and you can either respect that or not but it changes noting one way or the other. C’mon now. Darby was part of a secondary that held Brady to 505 yards passing and three TDs.

I can see your point, too.

Gotta disagree here. There is nothing tentative at all about him. He takes the snap and lets it rip, totally trusting his first read. That may be because he likes what he sees pre-snap or because he lacks patience to go through progressions (I doubt this), but, either way, that ball gets out; torpedoes be damned.

I believe Black River is owned by PSE.

Every silver lining has its cloud.

Beats hearing about the five INTs every single game he plays.

Can’t speak to his final stat line, but I predict it will include five first half TD passes. ‘Cause that’s how you exorcize demons. Or should he wait until next week and do it against the Chargers?

Zip. The only "strategic" goal of preseason is whipping the ass of the opponent lined up across from you. Unfortunately, I saw precious little of that at the POA all preseason.

Posted this in the O'Leary thread but it's probably more pertinent here: I see a lot of two TE sets as a staple of our offense. Both Clay and Croom can flex and I envision Daboll utilizing them much like NE*** prefers when they have two athletic talents at the position. If we can hurt teams with these mismatches, DCs will be forced to use sub packages to counter and that's when I see Daboll going to more up tempo play calling if he likes what he sees. For instance, if DCs sub in more favorable coverage packages with smaller guys who can cover, I see Daboll bringing the TEs back inside and running the ball relentlessly until DCs sub bigger packages to counter and Daboll then flexing them wide again.

I read the title as "Cheap Blond Tasting Beer" and thought it was another "would ya" thread.
