I've been to a chiropractor 3x for various injuries (one each time). The benefit varied. Once was awesome - hurt my chest from landing on it playing Vb. One some relief - shoulder problem that ended up being a torn rotator cuff & suspected torn labrum. The other time was once worthless - elbow tendonitis. I would suggest giving it a try for a time or 2. Personally, I think the chance they'll do any harm is low & there's a decent chance they'll provide significant, or at least noticeable relief.

I think it USED to be the case that some SMTP servers did not require login. Can you modify your email client to use same smtp-server.nycap.rr.com or something else & see if you can send an email to yourself?

Can you use another SMTP server?

I think if you're gonna base it on only 1 statistic, yards allowed is the most accurate. What's worse? Allowing an 80 yd drive for a TD or a 10 yd TD drive (or, even worse, allowing a TD when you're not even on the field)? Likewise, if teams drive 60 yds on you almost everytime, it's very difficult on the offense, even if they're only getting mostly FGs. ie you let up only 20 pts (which is avg) but allow 6 ~6 minute drives, your offense isn't going to get many opportunities to exceed that 20 pts & you're gonna lose more often than not.

I'd say no. Spiller hasn't produced largely cuz he hasn't been needed. He was drafted as a 3rd string RB! (IMO, it was a stupid pick) Were we to need him to be on the field, I'm confident that he'd be at least mediocre. Maybin OTOH, was a pick that addressed a specific need (which is STILL a need). The fact that he was barely able to see the field w/ at best mediocre talent in front of him is indicative of just how poor he was. WRT Maybin, I'm curious as to why he was unable to make much/any impact on ST. Seems despite his inability to play LB (or worse, DE as originally intended) you'd think someone of his desire (by all accts effort was not his problem) & athletic ability should be sufficient to do well on ST.

I think our Dee has pretty consistently sucked. & I don't think anyone in their right mind expects that to be fixed anytime soon. Whether it's talent or scheme IDK, I tend to think it's more scheme - our players can't be that bad. As for the Offense, they sucked against the Jets. Personally, I don't think they were that poor yesterday. They moved the ball ok. Their output was limited due to terrible defense (as usual) and mistakes (poor rush recognition & some poor passes). Get the defense to play to a level of mediocrity & we can be competitive, but not dominant.

I was going to have them memorize prevailing rates for all major currencies.

It does. Especially if it's your left arm (for a right-footed kicker), which I think is the case. Sorta like saying a pitcher doesn't need a leg.

It's his shoulder. & particularly if it's his left shoulder, it can have a pronounced effect on his mechanics.

Moorman is fine for KOs. He handled them early in his career. His one KO this game was fine & I defy any ANY kicker to have as an effective onsides as he did (I was very surprised by that; I doubt it's something he practices much.) However, I think we do need to sign a FG kicker if for no other reason than Moorman is our regular holder as well. (Though I suppose if you're using a new kicker, ~75% of the reason to retain the old/regular holder is gone.)

I did notice that after the stinger, he dropped/missed 2 or 3 catchable balls. I wonder to what extent it was bothering him.

He was visible, which is an improvement from when he was a Bill. That said, I don't recall seeing him make ANY plays. (Touching the QB after he's thrown it, doesn't count.)

A cursory Google search yielded this: http://www.familyfanclub.net/Buffalo-Football-Circle-the-Wagons-Burnout-T-Shirt.html Sadly, it doesn't look like my size. (For that matter, what's a "burnout T-shirt"?)

We do if we get a 1st round byw in the playoffs.

I think nfl.com &/or the NFL network has a pkg available that you can subscribe to that rebroadcasts games.

It was quite apparent on tv. As you say, he waited for the runner to come to him, rather than go after the runner. I was thinking that he probably ceded at least 5 yds, maybe 10 yds by not going up to tackle, but figured once you've given up 30 yards or whatever, what's another 10. Best to be sure of the tackle rather than take a chance of missing. Very good tackle.

I don't think it's fair to group Pill w/ those other 2. IIRC, he was only OC for 1 season & he was thrust into that roll like a week b4 the season & burdened w/ running Fairchild's offense. Tough situation to be in. As for the other 2, I got the impression that Jauron dictated the style of offense run, ergo the dismissal of Fairchild when they disagreed on philosophy.

I think Peyton Manning has said that much of what he sez in a no-rush no-huddle is subterfuge. ie so the Defense doesn't know what you're really calling. Once they're in a rush, I think as the Capt alluded to, it's simple enough to convey a simple play by only 1 word or gesture.

How come it seems whenever there's a jump ball, he loses? One would think if he was indeed gifted, given those situations, he should win the better %age of them. This was always the case w/ Moulds. He just gets beaten too regularly even when he's there.

Really? How do you count experience? Scott, Wilson, McKelvin & Florence all have OVER 2 yrs experience by my count. As for #4, I think you're parroting Chris Brown. IMO, Fitz's #s are noticeably inferior to Kelly's over that period.

Wow. Hard to believe GB fell for that. As a punter, you're taught to yell out where the ball goes (left, right, short, middle). I would think that once you get to a better level (I was semi-pro & we virtually never practiced special teams), you actually designate where the kick should go as well, making this occurrence all the more unlikely.

Really? How come I get about 10 items of unsolicited, unwanted junk mail for every "real" letter I rcv? Seriously, the ratio might even be worse than that. Personally, I'd prefer to pay (substantially) more for wanted service in exchange for no/less unsolicited stuff. It's just so wasteful.

FWIW, I was a punter not a kicker, but I would think it better to use the tee. You get the hop by hitting the ball into the ground. I suspect you could get more hop were the ball sitting directly on the ground, but that would result in a predictable flight (IMO). By having the ball elevated, it allows it more distance before it hits the ground so the bounce if nothing else is less predictable. Good question. And I was under the impression that it is a requirement to use a tee to KO (last I knew there were only 2 allowable official models, the std orange "boomer" and an asymmetric red soccer style one). WRT using a holder - I would imagine that it would allow for a more dramatic kick as the ball could be positioned more radically (ie it doesn't need to stand up), but the major drawback is that it takes one person out of your "coverage" or at least dramatically slows down his arrival into the "scrum".

I can only suspect/hope that they were designed "safe" kicks. IIRC, the only one when the game was in doubt was like a 65 yder. That nets to 45 so it's a good kick. After that, although a 55 yd touchback isn't a good result, again, it's the safe & easy thing to do.
