It doesn’t matter. Some teams have defenses that are easier to run in so you score running the ball. Some have weaker pass defense so you score with the passing game. Some have a QB prone to turning the ball over so you get a score or two from the defense. Or special teams mismatch.

Must be fully recovered from the concussions. Glad he’s locked down.

When someone asks a question I figure it deserves an answer.

No

Palmer offers a skill set we didn’t have. Fine by me.

I know I’m the get off my lawn, old man type but I wish they’d just eliminate all of these staged celebrations. Spontaneous is one thing but these elaborate staged ones aren’t necessary. You want to show somebody up just hand the ball to the ref like it’s no big deal to score against your opponent

I read somewhere Cooper may retire. Douglas is likely in no hurry; he can watch and see what teams run into injuries in preseason and sign a deal then.

They need players with some guts. The only untouchable to me are Dahlin and Thompson. Power to me has been a huge disappointment; he plays with no physicality and no passion.

No reason to sweat it now, for Cook or Benford. Both are under contract this coming season. Beane and company should be focused on the draft right now. After that they can deal with those two players if they want. Or they can wait until they see how the beginning of the season goes.

Hasn’t talked himself off

No

Thanks. So you agree he wasn’t a first round pick. And boy wasn’t Pearsall a big miss!

Love me a big tub of goo!

Then you have absolutely no clue of the psychology of this.

I am presuming you are a guy. Ask yourself this: would you rather have a gang of say 3 guys beat you up and steal your car? Or would you rather have those 3 guys strip you naked and violate your rear entrance repeatedly? Which do you think would have a more lasting psychological effect?
