You think ? With GW laying the defensive plans for DB ? Or did you just miss your sarcasm smiley ?

Whole heartedly agree. But I would still like to beat them with Vick playing. Nemhoff, what you are suggesting is that we need to play with more swagger. It appears that the team cannot believe it can win and are just shy of asserting themselves. Might be true. Also, the first week's win and subsequent +ve press went to their heads and this was just the game to remind them not to get too relaxed and cocky. Whatever the case might be, I think this is the timely wake-up call. Better this early in the season rather than late when playoffs invitees are decided.

And my guess is that with the talent on this team, that will be the only reason we will lose games this year.

As low as I was feeling yesterday and this morning, it is a bit better now. As several people have pointed out, this was the best game to lose - road, non-division, very good defense. Having agonized for about 24 hours now, I am ready to start thinking about Atlanta. Thoughts: - Vick may or may not be injured but we should know soon enough. The game planning obviously changes based on who the QB is but I would like to see Vick playing. First because it feels bad that anybody is injured and secondly, we should play teams at their full strength to truly know what kind of a team we have - Atlanta O doesn't do much of anything except for Vick rushing (111 yards in 2 games). Passing has been fairly pathetic (279 yards total in 2 games). JP has 283 so we are close. - Defense may be the stongest part of Atlanta though this may not be saying much as Seattle gained a total of 428 yards. - The Eagles game must have been a fluke considering that all points scored by Atl came in the first quarter and Eagles did not really do anything well on O that day. All in all, this looks like a very winnable game and one in which our O needs to do about the same as in the Houston game - not too much but just enough with no turnovers. We will not have to play outstanding to get past them, but do need to make sure all units are showing up. Can we please stop ruminating, b1tching about yesterday and start talking about the next game ?

Do you really believe that or was that an example only ? I think if it takes years for Losman to develop, he will win a SB for another team.

Add Steve Mariucci to the list.

non-HD on my SP4805 does not look too good. HD is beyond fantabulous.

Just an hour ? Stay there and don't come upstairs till you have the whole damn thing working. After all the game is tomorrow and you don't want to be watching it on a microscopic TV, do you ?

Wow. Is it safe to say that half your home's equity now resides in the basement ? Sometime in the future I will get your opinion on the Panny pj. I have the SP4805.

Which pj ? Which speakers ? Which receiver ? We need details, man....

If we are classified as a civilized and mature society, isn't it supposed to withstand such calamities in a more organized fashion ? If human behavior degenerates to such low levels how can the society, made up of such human beings, classify itself as superior ? What credibility do we have when we go to seemingly less developed countries and espouse our way of living ? The concept of happiness is not directly related to material wealth and carnal pleasures in all parts of the world.

Squabbling over Nate ? Go find some nice chick to fight over.

Looks like you are SOL, brother. I feel for you. Only suggestions I can give are: Do you need to lug all the tools and material everytime ? Or is it too much of a pain loading and unloading just what you need ? Also, can you schedule your jobs so that you are not driving the same path twice ? Finally, can you concentrate your selling effort in a certain area only so you get more job wins and less driving between them ?

Let us reserve judgment on the experts till after the game, shall we ?

Problem with govt. intervention is two fold: it undermines the market forces at work and is hence sub-optimal to the economy as a whole. Secondly, any concessions provided come from our tax $ anyway. So either we end up paying more taxes or lose some other benefit.

Probably because NC is not a rising star but is already a star. I think he is playing at his peak. I was surprised not to see Lee Evans in the list.

Based on what ? I saw most of the game versus the Eagles and I think the Eagles beat themselves with dropped passes. Having said that I want us to be underdogs througout this season and until we are in the playoffs. I also said that if we beat the Bucs, we should not have a problem with the Falcons. What I meant is that beating the Bucs will indicate that we are not pretenders but can actually beat a good D on the road. Having done that, a home game against a team that is weak in the secondary should be easier to win.

Try some of the mroe aged scotches straight up - no ice. A (wealthy) friend has Johnny Walker Green label when he has us over and I exclusively drink that. Typically, I make myself the designated driver for those visits so I don't consume in huge quantities, thus enjoying every sip.

Agreed, that is why even though it makes our job easier, we shouldn't celebrate.

Looks like our passing game will have an easier task Sept. 25th. If we beat the Bucs this week, we should not have a problem with the Falcons considering they are coming to our house: http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news?slug=ap-f...ov=ap&type=lgns

What has really been exposed is our weak societal structure. How the residents rapidly became looters, arsonists and (neighbor's) back stabbers is the real tragedy. http://www.stadiumwall.com/index.php?showtopic=29314

Read this thread, in particular posts by me, phillburger1 and Crap Throwing Monkey. Only place where government is involved is in causing uncertainty due to our Middle East involvement. But fundamental reasons are gasoline demand crossing the supply limit in the US in 2005. We were on the edge in 2004. Stop advocating govt. intervention in markets. http://www.stadiumwall.com/index.php?showtopic=28164

Considering all that has been posted, I believe that if we win the turnover battle and not stall in the red zone (FGs are okay), we will kick the living daylights out of TB.

have you been stalking him all these years to find this article ?

That I have to agree with.
