The Big Cat

But I don't wanna! ALSO: I 'paid' them the money I owe them... Do you think Chase cares?

Two weeks ago today I went grocery shopping with 7 other guys in their late 20's early 30's to get supplies for a long weekend at a Lake House. We bought a lot. $543.30 worth, to be precise. The purchase was made in a rural grocery store about 25 miles outside our destination. I swiped my card, nothing. My buddy swiped his card, nothing. My buddy swiped his other card, nothing. All our other buddies were out in the parking lot wondering wtf was taking so long. We determined it had to have been a problem with their machines (turns out all three of our cards were Chase cards and my buddy and I both received fraud alerts like four hours later (some help that was)). But, we convinced the weirdo who looked to be in charge to go get their manual swiper. He did, though it was clear he had never used it before and had no idea what he was doing. It made the impression, nevertheless, I signed and about 25 minutes into his process, we were on our merry marry way. As of today, the charge still hasn't posted. It's not pending, it's no where to be found in my online banking portal. This period spans the months of July and August, so it wasn't a month-end thing, but for someone who's only swiped one of the impression machines in a taxi cab (and those fools process that **** within about 8 hours), I'm curious what the timeline for a store to process a charge should be. I have no intention of calling them and pointing out the mistake, and everyone's already Pay-Pal'd me the money they owe (I haven't withdrawn it yet). Do you think we got away with one here?

Well, the offense's struggles we read about last year turned out to have absolutely nothing to do with the quality of defense they were facing...so...

Folks here really need to get on board with this very possible reality.

That tool and his video exemplify why I don't play online.

But that doesn't necessarily mean he took contact on every play...

Let's stick with Brady. If the one and only way to sack Brady is to send 8 players, two of them corner backs, and the corner backs get him every time, un touched, then that has little to no bearing on the offensive line.

Okay, well this only slightly changes things. The time to sack adds an extra layer telling us how long it took to sack a quarterback. Perhaps the only way to sack some quarterbacks is to have a guy barrelling at him, un touched. Wouldn't that skew the data lower?

But the same applies to Brady then, who has made his living let his receivers run around in crossing patterns until they find a gap. In spite of the data, we KNOW Brady had time to throw, but the data neither confirms no refutes the fact that Fitz did or did not: my original response (kinda).

Link?

A couple guys puked today at the LOS and powered through. For the camp junkies: how long has it been since multiple players have tossed it during TC? http://www.buffalobills.com/news/article-2/Practice-Notes---Aug-8th/649c3dd7-04d8-40d1-98af-5a89e0f90804

Without following the link and examining their methodologies, is that "time to throw" or "took the least time to throw." Because those are two wildly different things.

Yes. I don't recall very my instances of Fitz standing in the pocket all day, waiting for a play to develop, waiting for his receivers to outrun DB's (see: Brady, Tom). As for what you site cite relative to rushing: run blocking and pass blocking are two different things (a) and CJ and Fred are both above-average running backs, at the very least (b). So, to answer OP's original question: Yes.

...unless it airs on ESPN

Well, this thread has ventured WAY far away from its lighthearted purpose... :-)

http://preseason.support.nfl.com/ViewArticle.dbml?SPSID=363149&SPID=44851&DB_OEM_ID=22900&ATCLID=205563506 well that's not !@#$ing helpful, it's the blackout games for week 3 go home NFL, you're !@#$ing drunk. there should be no issue for out of towners this sunday http://preseason.support.nfl.com/SportSelect.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=22900&SPID=44851 okay, looks like 1-3 are okay "nationally televised" in the case for blackouts means "on ESPN"

wtf!? i !@#$ing bought preseason live to !@#$ing avoid this...

I'm legitimately counting on Pettine to get us 2 more wins this year because of how HORRIBLE last year's defense was.

We'll find out week one!! :-)

He's the Mike.

Searcy Any fullback Leodis (pick-6 notwithstanding) Stevie Wood

He should charge his phone more often. I hope that his brief stint as a professional athlete at least gives him some of the resources he'll need to beat this thing and have a happy, fulfilling life. /onlinehero

It's good. Don't hold out for subtlety, though. You can stream season one on Netflix.

Like the horror genre? Ever wish you could see every single horror trope thrown at you at break-neck speed?

Haven't watched second season yet. I'll probably bear through it, though.
