  1. Yes- anyone who has watched Joe over the years knows he slides quite well. The brace broke on the trailing leg (knee) and caught in the turf...
  2. Yeah, I know. But I can't think for another reason why veteran QB like Flacco consistently fails to audible running plays so they won't run head first into defenders on the edges. Maybe he's not big friends with West and tries to hand out some punishment for him? What do u think? Not well-blocked, maybe? Not a great scheme, perhaps?
  3. I'll tell you what I'm tiring of watching- games in which receivers are running open, all over the field. And it ain't us.
  4. Aye. Given our lousy short-down rushing performance, I've been yelling for the qb sneak almost every time we're 3rd or 4th and less than two yards...
  5. Ah, KO's just getting his mind right for the game. That said, I hope BW & Co knock his you-know-what in the dirt.
  6. Get pressure on Carr, and he'll make mistakes.
  7. Those sideline shots of CB coaching up the big boys were some of my favorite game-watching moments. You knew the boys were paying attention! RIP Coach...
  8. Well, I think Joe was simply not going to turn the ball over. Harbaugh alluded to it, given how the game was progressing, and the lack of almost any offensive output from the Bills.
  9. The good? Wright, of course. I thought Weddle stabilized things back end, too. The bad? Those spots were unbelievable- the critical one on the last drive was only one of 4 or 5 bad ones. I mean, really awful.
  10. I wonder if Correa was affected by the Pitta incident. Seems like he lost some of that swagger he displayed early on. I realize camp is tough for rookies, and those who burn the brightest early on can fade, but just thinking...
  11. Not confident, sorry. Hope I'm proven wrong when the real games begin...
  12. Hell, we'll take 4.2 per carry, anyday...
  13. I think we'll have to put up at least 24 to win, and I don't know if we have the firepower, yet...
  14. I actually thought Forsett was in danger until Dixon got hurt. The current lack of depth is what makes this move surprising, to me.
  15. I thought he was injury waived. They may sign him back if he is healthy I thought... He's been waived. For now, technically, he's not on the team. He's not taking up a roster spot. If he clears waivers, he can be put on IR.
  16. Well, better return man, for sure, but his productivity at receiver has taken a nosedive the last few years.
  17. They need a go-to slot guy, given the TE situation. Perhaps Camp's limited PT in the preseason was by design (and, of course, he was nicked up, anyway).
  18. Josh Johnson has been with what, five teams in seven years? He's played well this preseason but I don't see teams looking at him as a possible starter, and willing to offer commensurate value, in trade or draft picks.
  19. Source? Based on everything I'm reading, the actual color of the Steelers uniform includes the color gold, not the color yellow. To me, it seems that fans just THINK that its yellow. Regardless, it would seem to logically make more sense to refer to a team by their actual official colors, as they define them. Its certainly not up to the fans to define what color to call a team. Goldenrod? That would explain my allergic reaction...
  20. Can we equate "abomination" to being the worst, or one of two or three worst, qb's in the league? Or is hyperbole your specialty?
  21. Well, providing "one last ride" for anybody would never be in Ozzie's equation- unless the guy can still contribute. I'll bet Joe wouldn't be unhappy yo see Boldin here, though.
  22. Harbaugh's been a vocal critic of the rules limiting practice, and he can be a hammerhead, at times. Point is that I'm not sure the little voice on his shoulder said "screw it- we're doing it". Pretty dumb, if that's the case.
  23. No way Stanley was picked at #6 to play guard. Hell, Conklin would've been more suited to play inside, I would think. Anyway, let's hope Jack doesn't fall to Pittsburgh.
