  • Manning and firework 3 finger guy..all I had

  • That D line of the Gmen isn't fucking around.   The defense as a whole is greater than the sum of its parts, just ask Russell Wilson.

    Looks like D Bone is picking NYG... and that's good news for us. 😉

    Russell does not have our OL.

  • Practice reports...

    Hodge and Ward are at least on the field this week... not so for Teller and Sendejo... rest look fairly unconcerning.

    Short list for the G-men...

  • Who the hell do we even have playing in our defensive backfield?

    I just heard this on NFL radio this morning.


    I liked playing the Garrett/hobbled Jones combo better.

    Freddie has something to prove and Colt is a guy that doesn’t make many mistakes and just plays hard.

    Denzel (cross your fingers his tissue injuries seem to take forever). Money Mitch. Karl Lost in space Joseph, Tedric secret weapon Thompson, MJ Stewart, Thomas (still on the roster)?, Moffatt 

  • Freddie and Colt's Super Bowl.

    Our 6th and 7th stringers. Just know this game is going to be a war. We won't be able to stop anyone and they'll be able to stop us. It's gonna be a tight game.

    I hear you...


    After Ward, Mitchell, Harrison the drop of is big and we have a group of Stewart, Joseph, Redwine, Johnson, Thomas, okay one more drop Sendejo.

    Shake up 4-9 in a bag and put them on the field and it’s all the same. 

  • Freddie and Colt's Super Bowl.

    Freddie’s for sure.  He will know how to game plan somewhat too against some of the guys we have on defense. 
     

    Colt McCoy is just pros pro.

    That’s a huge loss for GMen.  I thought he had whale of a game against the Seahawks a few weeks ago.

    He really did. That's huge because their backup won't be near his level. I'm more worried about their DL though. 

  • Sendejo got his concussion while trying to keep the RB out of the end zone.  Adding injury to insult.  I'd bet he's out this week.  It'll be interesting to see who's out there against the Giants.

    Kitchens calling plays and Colt McCoy at QB.  You can't make this stuff up.

  • The next two games are either perfectly timed, or scary as shit(as said above). I know there are no moral victories and all, but screw that in regards to the Ravens game. I think the Ravens are back to form, in that they are an elite NFL team(not just AFC North). And we stood toe to toe to the bitter end of that game. That was a Baltimore team that no one has had to face since last year. They were firing on all cylinders.  

    From a game plan point of view, the only thing we could have done different was to put a full time shadow on Jackson to keep him from busting out. But then of course that means one less in pass coverage and he showed he can still pass if he has to.. 

    What that game showed is that we still can't beat NFL elite teams, but damn we came close. Who in the AFC is playing better than the Ravens right now? Chief's, Pittsburgh?  Maybe Buffalo and that's about it. The rest of the AFC we are at or above their level already.   

    The loss may be perfectly timed because we got the loss out of the way. We were on a 4 game winning streak and I think we were starting think our shit didn't stink. I kept hearing to many players starting to get that "we are going to the super bowl" talk going.. SORRY we are not going to the Super Bowl, unless a bunch of stars fall into perfect alignment.  If we hunker down and beat the Jets and Giants we are in the playoffs. We can even beat Pukesburgh on Jan 3rd if they decide to sit some of their players if winning the game is meaningless to them... 

    Depending on who we get in the first round of the Wild Card games, we could actually win a playoff game this year.. This sets us up for some big off season moves to shore up the players we have, and get the players we need.  I am more than happy with the progress we've made to date.. We've found our coach FINALLY and our head office FINALLY. I think we've found our QB. We have top tier talent at nearly every position. And now we can start to build upon it.. Not by gimmicks. But by doing it right.

    This Giants game is a litmus test for me. If the progress we've made is real, this game shouldn't scare any one. The Ravens game knocked us back to reality. But also showed us how incredibly far we've come this season.. This Ravens team was BETTER than the week 1 Ravens.. And we are infinitely better than the Browns we were at week 1..

    Go Browns..

    RE: Jackson, can pass to wide open receivers that our MASH unit secondary couldn't cover. Getting Ward back will be huge. Giants having Bradberry out helps Baker and the passing game. Litmus test? Yeah- it's a game we should win. (When is the last time we could say that?)  Now go out there and do it- convincingly. 🙂

    I don't.  I think going 1-3 over the last 4 puts us on the outside looking in.

    Right now we have a young Jekyll and Hyde team that has beaten Tenn and Indy, hung on for dear life against the Bungles (twice), squeaked by the Texans and Jags and lost every game to their top division rivals... unpopular statement I know, but it is what it is. 

    The stage is getting bigger and brighter every week, and while I think they can beat both the NY teams, and are far and away the better team, it all depends on if the good Dr. or Mr. Hyde shows up Sunday night..... and I think all 6 of my concerns will dictate that. 

    1-3  (ending up at 10-6) is 2007 deja vu.  Ratbirds are going to win out 11-5. Dolphins 11-5  ditto, winnable against the Patriots & Raiders (that would do the Browns a favor) Bills if Buffalo is locked into a seed and rests players. Colts have one toughie against the Steelers another 11-5 possible. Titans one toughie against the Packers on the road. 11-5.  Us losing to the Raiders sucks if we both wind up 10-6 for the final playoff spot. Go Chargers!!!

    How quickly we forget Freddie's lousy play calling though. Colt isn't exactly mobile. Bring Garrett and the house. Even if Jones plays, he's not going to be 100% healthy. 

  • Wonder if they will practice the plays Freddie calls Sunday nite?

    Again... these changes are not putting any fear in this heart.

    What got me is Freddie is regularly their TE position coach. Now that's something you can't make up... 😉
