Fan in San Diego

A tie?

I agree completely. He got beat like a rented mule yesterday.

In Fitz's defense, he was being harrassed in the pocket which caused alot of the inaccurate throws.

I think it is not the coaches fault. But McKelvin getting beat like a drum by a rookie. Turn and look for the ball McKelvin. And not sealing the edge to contain the run. Sorry Merriman, you are getting beat badly out there.

He tries so hard to not sound like a homer. That he sounds like a hater. Awful to listen too.

See the Beatles show! It is awesome!

I'm still pissed that they took Maybin over Orakpo! What were they smoking that made that idea seem good?

Good analysis. Thanks for posting this. Listen to the Buddy Nix interview from San Diego. He talks about Merriman.

Nice read, the article flowed smoothly. I use Firefox and the page opened just fine for me.

Yes that stood out to me as well. Merriman has a psychological issue about injuries to work thru. A few sacks may be just what the shrink ordered.

Isn't Fitz from Arizona? Maybe an Arizona thing. There state flag is a sunrise.

I would like to see them not go behind in the 1st quarter. Ryan has started each 1st qtr naking bad throws. He needs to focus and throw better at the beginning of the game.

You had animal carcases? We had to eat road kill if we could find them, if not it was worms dug out of the ground.

Catching javelins? We had to catch arrows with our teeth for fun.

Funny ****. I think depression era people like to do that, boast how tough they had it. And it gets tougher every year afterwards.

No, I was getting a laugh out of you guys swapping , hardass quips. It just reminded me of my Dad's constant hardluck stories I heard growing up when I would complain about something or ask for something. So I thought I would share them with you guys. Carry on, I find them funny as all hell.

My Dad was a kid during the great depression. he had a million stories about how rough his childhood was. The scary thing is that they are true. 1) Had to quit school in grade 7 to support the family. 2) Couldn't afford shoelaces and had to use bailing wire to tie his shoes. 3) Couldn't afford coal to heat the house, had to walk along the railroad tracks to pick up coal that had fallen off. 4) Couldn't afford new shoes so he had to put newspapers in the soles to wear them longer. 5) Couldn't afford beef so they ate horsemeat. I could go on forever with the stories, no wonder he is such a hard ass.

+1 They sometimes don't blitz because they know the ball is going to come out quick.

Yes they have so far.

I heard Fred Jackson in a radio interview on ESPN. He was saying they are taking everything one game at a time. They dont want to get enamored with the Pats win and go to Cincinati and lay an egg. They are taking the Cinci game serious.

He didn't try to tackle Florence because he would have got lit up by Byrd.

Who is that nerdy looking guy? I heard him saying about the Buffalo win over KC has no value because they are bad. But then later when talking about Detroit, saying they are going to the playoffs saying how impressive their win over KC was. We just get no respect. Win the Superbowl and they still wont like us. They will say it is a weak year for NFL teams. You cant worry about it! Just enjoy the wins.

Me Too! Are they available anywhere?

I saw some of the ESPN shows, they counted up all of the 15 yard penalty flags called on hits on the QB. Guess who has the most flags? That's right Michael Vic. The refs have pulled out the flag for hits on Vic more than any other QB combined. Vic is an idiot.

The whole second half was amazing. We have to stop digging these holes in the first half.
