  1. You gotta stick with trent one more year i think. Lets sure up the O-Line, change out the offensive coordinator, re-group our WR core, and lets try again with Trent before dumping him... Also, we need to sure up the defense a bit. Especially the run game. Need to sign or draft a big DT, and figure out a way to get Maybin to rush the passer. Then Draft a CB in the first round, that should help us out alot in the passing game. Fixing the defense will go along way towards helping the offense in my opinion. Trent needs one more year before I'll give up on him. (By the way....before you flame away...one of the items above was a joke...)
  2. ...I'd instantly have an extra 10 hours in my day...
  3. We are struggling with stuffing the run, and I saw this guy play yesterday vs. Tennessee, and WOW was he a beast. Now, admittedly I dont know much about him, but I couldnt help but think this is EXACTLY the type of guy we need next to Stroud. He looks like a 1/2 round selection based on projections I have seen at this point... Thoughts?
  4. And when he does catch it, he cant keep both feet in the endzone. Yup. Still Angry.
  5. It was a tough call. Could have gone either way. I dont think there was enough to overturn it. Likewise, if it was called incomplete, i dont think there was enough there either.
  6. These guys can also buy insurance (not sure how they pay the premium...) See Willis McGahee
  7. I dont know...this IS the bills we are talking about here. Winning the next 6 to give us hope, then losing the last 5 seems like it might be just what the doctor ordered (or what sends me to the doctor) And if we are lucky...maybe we can lose to the colts 2nd string. Bonus points if that loss is the one that causes us to miss the playoffs!
  8. Yeah, it sounds crazy. I dont know that the parallel holds true with those other QBs, but it is interesting that guys like Drew Brees looked GOD AWFUL for several years before it all clicked. Not sure how you can predict that, but it does happen.
  9. I dont disagree with you that its over. It sure feels like its over. This team is playing with no emotion and is showing almost no hope for this season to be salvagable. However, this is the NFL. I remind you that last season at this point we were 4-1 and *DESTINED* for the playoffs. We then went and beat San Diego and were 5-1. Most of us thought that playoffs were a certainty....Then we go 2-8 and finish at 7-9. Point is, its a LONG LONG season. And scrape a win this weekend against the Jets, go and beat Carolina in thier house, and we're sitting at 3-4 and alot of people will be changing their tune, ESPECIALLY if nobody is running away with the division. Is it likely we can turn this around? Probably not. I just dont see the passion in this team. But put a couple wins together, and I anything is possible in this LONG GRUELING NFL season.
  10. As crazy as it is to think we might be able to win this game, IF we do happen to win it, it puts us right back in the thick of the AFC East. IF we win, NE* wins, and MIA is on a BYE, the standings look like this NE*: 4-2 NYJ 3-3 MIA 2-3 BUF 2-4 Thats worst case. If a Hungry TEN team can knock off a weak(er) NE* team then the standings look like this NE 3-3 NYJ 3-3 MIA 2-3 BUF 2-4 Hardly out of the picture. But a loss combined with a NE win NE 4-2 NYJ 4-2 MIA 2-3 BUF 1-5 Yeah, its pretty much over (not that it isnt already) Bottom line, its a MUST WIN this weekend (but im not holding out much hope...)
  11. Channel 335 for those of you with FIOS. Sadly, I cant get it for free in HD
  12. Possible, but i doubt it. More likely scenerio IMO is that Jackson is getting worn out and they want to split the workload a little.
  13. For the price of a ticket, it better be Jerry Jones himself....
  14. Can anyone validate this is legit? I am not installing anything from someone with only 11 posts.
  15. Watching NFLN, he is at the cowboys game. He is TERRIBLE. he makes Marshall Faulk look like Howard Cosell. "We cannot talk about the stadium without talking not talking about the enourmous scoreboord which hangs 90 feet from the roof" "It will take 2,000 52 flatscreens to fit on the scoreboard" "That sineage is now gone, so its a full 90 feet, so that will aleviate any issues with the punting thing" This guy is terrible. I think he is eating the same marbles shannon sharpe is eating.
  16. Who is #15 and #18 and the guy in the blue? Hawthore? Who else?
  17. Gotta disagree. I cant see New England missing the playoffs. With that in mind, the Jets are legit contenders for the playoffs. At this point in the season, I root for any NFC team, those AFC teams who I "KNOW" are going to the playoffs (i.e. New England, Pittsburgh, Indy), and those AFC teams I "KNOW" are going to miss the playoffs (i.e. Kansas City, Oakland, Cleveland). I root specifically in that order. Not that my rooting has any effect on the outcome, but seeing those middle of the road teams lose is good news this time of the year. it clutters the middle of the pack, and gives the bills a better chance at making the playoffs at 9-7 or 10-6 (maybe even 8-8).
  18. Nice Job! And at $4/pack, you've saved yourself about $3,000!
  19. I dont think so...the backing of this wooden plate has a metal plate on it. There is no easy apparent way to remove it (i assume its glued on). Plus I do not have a router. But I do have a sawzall...im sure that will do the trick... (joking). I do have a hand jig-saw. Might be able to use that if I can get the metal plate off.
  20. This video proves the exact opposite of what I thought during the game. This was a first down. It was 2nd and 10 (after an incompletion on first down). They needed 10 yards. The ball was snapped just short of the 36 yard line (between the 36 and 37 yard line). Welker goes down just shy of the 26 yard line (between the 26 and the 27). It was AWFULLY close (and probably should have been measured), but it looks like a first down to me.
  21. Okay, so this morning I decided to tackle what I thought was a pretty easy dimmer switch replacement. I have a wall plate with 3 switches in it...the one on the left is a 3-way switch for the hallway, the one on the right goes to a living room outlet, and the center one is the dining room chandelier, which is on a dimmer. The Dimmer switch is the old school round knob type, and its going bad. The chandelier will start to flicker and you hear some "grinding" type noise in the wall-plate. These things happen...Time for replacement. So I turn off power (mind you, the 3-way switch on the left is on a different breaker than the other 2 switches in the junction box...but thats another story). Replace the dimmer. Turn power on..all works well...except for one problem...the cover plate wont fit! The new dimmer is the same size as a GFCI, and thus sticks out from the wall a little. The old dimmer just slid through a regular switch hole. So now I am in for some additional work, but I am not sure the easiest way to go, which is why I am turning to you all. My options as I see them: 1) Find a new cover plate with a Large GFCI opening in the middle. The problem with the approach is two fold... The old cover plate was a decorative wood one, so I would like to keep it, but not a big deal if i have to replace it...and I cant find one with the large hole in the middle on a 3 switch wall-plate! 2) Buy a new Dimmer switch and relocate this somewhere in the house with a single (or double) switch-box. But other than the dial-type dimmers, I dont think there are any other dimmers which will work with my current cover-plate. 3) Replace all 3 switches with Large Opening switches, and buy a 3 large opening wall plate. Expensive approach, but I can at least make this one work..Though honestly with 2 sources of power in this junction box, I dont want to mess with re-wiring TOO much. Any other thoughts out there? Thanks in advance for your help.
  22. Usually we have an eliminator pool going on at TBD..I didnt see one through my searches. Was one created this year?
