Beebes Bubble Posted October 8, 2012 Posted October 8, 2012 Wait. We have a defensive front line? I'm gonna watch the tape back with super slow motion to try and spot them.
Hapless Bills Fan Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 The Overpaid Ovaries Ovaries are useful. None of you would exist without them. Our DL, it would appear, is not useful.
KD in CA Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 Except that the Maginot Line worked - the Germans never got through it. They just went around it. I thought that was the Maybin line.
drinkTHEkoolaid Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 the Pylon line. The stay in one place while people pass by them, occasionally someone plows one over

vincec Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 Except that the Maginot Line worked - the Germans never got through it. They just went around it. You really need something that better invokes the spirit of a line that can't stop anybody, in any fashion. I'd suggest the Construction Workers - one guy working, albeit only occasionally, while three others stand around watching. But even construction workers occasionally stop traffic. And through it and over it too. The Germans were good at that stuff.
Orton's Arm Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 It could be called the byline. Everyone runs right by.
benderbender Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 A simple Wikipedia read will remedy that. It's a great, apt name for them. dev/null is King. Neeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrd!
Orton's Arm Posted October 11, 2012 Posted October 11, 2012 The Steel Curtain The Purple People Eaters Monsters of the Midway The Fearsome Foursome Our Defensive Front Line needs a nickname. I propose we start calling them the Maginot Line cuz Ralph spent a ton of money on a useless front line I like your creativity! The Steelers of the '70s had the Steel Curtain. What do we have now? The Lace Curtain. As far as I'm concerned, the Lace Curtain is the name of our defense.

The Wiz Posted October 12, 2012 Posted October 12, 2012 I love the reference Dev but I think it's a little optimistic since it still took the Germans 6 weeks to take over France. Our d-line and subsequent team take over was much faster.
Rubes Posted October 12, 2012 Posted October 12, 2012 Except that the Maginot Line worked - the Germans never got through it. They just went around it. True, although the meaning has evolved over time to a broader sense: "Reference to the Maginot Line is used to recall a strategy or object that people hope will prove effective but instead fails miserably." I think there is probably no better way to describe our D-line.
MarkyMannn Posted October 12, 2012 Posted October 12, 2012 The Postrmen. They just mail it in I love the reference Dev but I think it's a little optimistic since it still took the Germans 6 weeks to take over France. Our d-line and subsequent team take over was much faster. German went AROUND the m-line and isolated it.
