It is tough to be depressed in a movie as boring as that one. What a waste of 2 hours it was

This development is bloody hilarious and I am enjoying every minute of Netflix's squirming. Apparently (I am not a twitter user), selling a twitter handle is violation of the terms of service. So Netflix has to backpedal or change the name. What a faux pas. IMHO, Reed Hastings will be kicked out the door qwikly

Why did you choose ypa as a measure of a franchise QB ? Why did you come up with 7.2 ypa as a cut off (even if it is approximate) ? Factor in the poor OL performance and you see that Fitz has done very very well and not just in the past two games. Even assuming for a moment that the ypa statistic is a leading indicator of greatness, Tim Brady is 7.4 ypa, Manning is 7.6 ypa. I argue both are better QBs than Kelly was especially in the biggest game.

And here I was thinking only Evans was capable of doing that

There is pressure and then there is pressure. We have to win at the line of scrimmage to pressure Brady. If the front 7 or more importantly, the front 3 r 4 can push their line back, we will go a long way towards hurrying his throws or disrupting his rhythm. I don't think we can blitz him too often unless it is a very well disguised one. Else, he will find the hot receiver and burn us big time. Look, he will have his good throws, he will get his long completions. However, if we can contain that damage and limit the scoring we will be fine. We cannot expect or try to shut thier offense down. Just do enough to keep their scoring to field goals and hope the O has another good outing. This game is winnable.

Of all things, I did not expect him to be a traitor. Good that he did not survive, makes yesterday's victory even sweeter.

Received an email from Netflix CEO today saying basically: "I am sorry, I screwed up and am trying to make things better. So, we are renaming our mail service qwikster. Hope you will enjoy the two names and two different websites which shows I am responding in ways that don't make a damn difference to our customers."

The fact that he left with a clean uniform yesterday helped immensely. The combination of improved line play, Fitz's quick decisions & throws, Jackson's performances, Gailey's play calling are all working together beautifully right now. Fitz is the right QB for this team and this offense right now.

Well 1 out of 2 ain't bad. Sorry, beerball

Hey, Tommy - you are not better than the opponent if you 'give them the game'. Means you are incompetent and hence the worse team.

I will add: - Good play calling on the O side of things even when we were down by 18. Also, fantastic execution led by Fitzy. - Byrd seems to be improving in run support. He was in places I did not expect - Our O today masked a pretty poor pass D. I am not sure what the problem is . We seem to have the talent. - Pretty good game management today which goes hand in hand with the O play calling. No obvious coaching flaw jumps to mind which was quite opposite to the multiple 'wtf' moments I would have in any Jauron-coached game - This team did NOT give up and kept coming back. I don't expect us to win next week but I want to see a well played game and a good honest fight. The media has started giving us some love in line with our gutsy performances. Go Bills !

We scored 35 points in the second half. That is three followed by a five. Let that soak in for a bit, I still cannot believe it.

Yep called us the #1 team today over the Pack, Saints and Steelers. I can't stand the love

Why should we not talk about a key play in the game ? A win does not automatically absolve everyone of blame and a loss does not take away the good things that we did. Yes, by all means celebrate the victory but also dissect why the D was so soft today, why that long completion for TD happened etc. Do you think teams like the Jets and Pats* blow a 18 point 1st half lead ?

While true, i am inclined to cut the rookie some slack. The fact that he out jumped the others to get to the ball shows aggressiveness.

So, really, whats the deal with Troup ? How badly injured is he ?

Am I missing something big time here ? His rating is 88.7 In any case, the dude 'just needs more time'

Gee, my reputation is at stake here. Will it survive ?

Mulholland Drive The Mist And DC Tom - regarding your comment about 'On the Beach', I have read the book and seen the movie. While sad, it stopped short of being depressing time because it was centered around how people adjust to the impending doom and go after the bucket list with minimal fuss. Twistedly inspirational to me.

Update: Netflix continues to slide http://www.forbes.com/sites/ericsavitz/2011/09/15/netflix-reduces-q3-u-s-sub-guidance-shares-slide/ You can only screw around with customers for so long before you start spiraling downwards "Netflix added that it realizes the move “has upset many of our subscribers,” but that “this split will help us make our services better for subscribers and shareholders for years to come.” NFLX this morning is down $29.05, or 13.9%, to $179.66."

Because we have seen his performance over the past year and it is promising. Dick had a long history of failure and his extension was a mistake.

His record and string of excuses speak for themselves

Actually, on this point I will back off a bit. Overall, his career has been a successful one. I saw some of his games last year and came up with the feeling that he talks more than he produces. Maybe what I should have said is that his production has tapered off lately. But I still stick with the part that he is a drama queen and also to my other point that tweeting and playing are two mutually different things. IN the past, people went off on Whitner's penchant to tweet which had nothing to do with his performance on the field. Its not like he was smoking crack off the field. And if people were against Whitner then for tweeting, then there is no reason to support Ochocinco esp coming off a 1 catch performance on an offense where the QB passed for 500+ yards.

I am just going to write this one last post on this subject. Me not liking either has nothing to do with it. I did not like Bruschi but he produced. I don't like Brady either but he is one of the best QBs ever to play. I don't like Ochocinco because I think he is a drama queen off the field and an underachiever on the field. Quite unlike, say Deion Sanders, who was a showman but one of the best CBs ever.

Me likey - we need Fitzy no matter if we draft a QB next year or not. Also, the earlier this prolonged Parrish experiment ends, the better off we will be. With a caveat that this year we need him just as a warm body WR (a role he has well performed all these years) due to lack of depth
