Cool, can I play too? Has anyone called him a fat slob yet?

Of course, that wasn't the point of why I brought it up, but don't let that stop you.

What's even more f'd up is that, had we not collapsed late against the *Pats, and managed to not lose to Cleveland, we'd be at 5-2 and alone in first place. That's just ridiculous.

What makes you think next year will be any different?

I'm not sure he ever should have been a starter.

"It's frustrating. We had a great week of practice with it right before the launch."

I will say this: Levitre was the guy who got blown up on the safety. I watched the replay a bunch of times and I still can't quite understand how the DT (#75) basically just got inside of him and tossed him aside. It was a critical error. Nevertheless, I think the guy's got game and he'll develop into a solid G for us. I'm actually starting to get a little excited for next year when we'll have a group of young offensive linemen with some experience playing together. I'm not sure yet about Bell or Meredith, but I think they have some good potential.

Can someone tell me why we run a reverse with Owens, rather than someone with a bit more speed? Why not Evans?

Amen to that.

Good grief, does noone here recognize sarcasm anymore?

He's referring to the post-concussion protocol.

I saw that, and I couldn't believe my eyes. There was some terrible officiating in that game, but that one was a complete head-scratcher. Wood completely pancaked his guy. What more is he supposed to do?

Ran for 267 yards today against the Bucs. Two backs over 100 yards each. Can we possibly give up 300 yards rushing two weeks in a row? 200 is bad, 300 is incomprehensible. And it may happen twice. How did we get this bad?

I have to agree. He may suck, but he's the only lineman out there (with the possible exception of Wood) who's showing any kind of moxie out there.

Give him time. If he gets to work more closely with the starting offense, the coaching staff will have him timid and uncertain of himself in no time.

I thought you were going to say it's the number of points we'll score the next two games.

I love how this topic comes up about every couple of months.

I'm sure they were ready to scrap it last week, but decided against it because every time they huddled, the hometown fans would start cheering and they wouldn't be able to hear anything. At least this way, they'll be in NJ and the only sound will be laughing.

I don't know...we moved it pretty well at home against the last-ranked defense in the league. What makes you think it will be any different next week?

Almost hard to believe that if we had beaten Cleveland, we'd be a game out of first place. Technically speaking, since it would seem more like 5 games out of first place.

He never said he was a first-round pick.

Yes, Sal Maiorana would agree with you.

He actually did look pretty good today, but then again, he was going against a high school offense out there.

Orton was about as awful a quarterback as I've ever seen, when he was playing in Chicago. Now he's in Denver, and throwing for well over 300 yards. I can't imagine a scenario, ever, where Edwards throws for 300 yards.
