  1. lol I just had to ask.
  2. Did Pierce make some monster plays or something that I missed.
  3. The funny thing is Trestman will run the rock at the get go which will get the play action going and then all of a sudden its like hes on crack and cant stop dialing up pass plays. Note he also started calling run plays in the 2nd half and then again....... This is my only bright star of the day.
  4. Yes injury timeouts don't happen till the last 2 minutes.
  5. Clock stops on turnover.
  6. The Good- The 1st drive The Bad- Perrimans drop and Mosleys fumble The Ugly- Coaches decisions. You do not call a timeout after the Mosley fumble. Damn kneejerk reaction and John waving his hands around like he has no idea what is going on. Also not running the ball on 1st and 2nd down after the fumble recovery at our 15. Always gotta be cute inside the redzone and then having the gall to call a fake FG on a gimme on 4th and 9 or whatever it was and with no momentum on our sides. You need short and a longer FG attempt to do them shenanigans. Take the 7 pt lead. We coulda tied it at the end of the game. Crimineys!!!!! John needs to chill.
  7. That would've been a Td in college He got us a 1st down on 4th down to keep the drive alive.
  8. For a 2 letter word that word has a lot of meaning lol. The one thing I notice that you keep pounding on in your posts is that SSS has not come out of his break(btw he was running in outside hook not a dig) well Joe is supposed to throw it before he comes out of his break and if it was aperfect pass it would have been low and towards the sideline to shield it from the defender. The defender also has to protect the deep just in case of double move and he was 5 yds behind the 1st down marker. If Joe would've waited for him to come out of his break then the chances are higher it would've been a pick or a hit on Joe coming from the free passrusher. To me the one on one was by far the best option over the middle of the field where you know Aiken is gonna suffer a hit the moment the ball gets there making the chances of a completion less likely The bottomline tho is it shouldn't have came to that situation and Aiken should have held on to the ball.
  9. I don't believe we gonna be able to get much help in the pitching dept. Maybe a cheap veteran but my main focus would be on extending Tillman,Britton and Bundy. Gallardo and Jimenez contracts got us lassoed. I made an earlier post that I didn't want Gallardo and would've kept the 14th pick. Trumbo,Alvarez and Wieters should not be resigned. Yes we lose power but we need better OBP than we have now. I also wouldn't sign any big ticket or even average FAs and would garner the draft picks we would gain in compensation(we will get picks for Trumbo and Wieters if we offer them 1 yr deals-please correct me if I'm wrong). At catcher go with Joseph for veteran exp and entrench him in the #9 hole and give kids like Cisco a shot in preseason and bring in a veteran for insurance. At infield go with the same starting 4 plus Flattery . Outfield is where Id look for competition and look for more speed and OBP. Jones for sure in center. Resign Bourn and Stubbs(both left hand hitters and can also fill in at center).Rickard and Reimold will offer options as right hand hitters at the corner outfield spots. Give Mancini and Walker a chance to win jobs( both provide pop and can play backup at 1st). Kim??? This is my DH with some time in the outfield. Also again bring in rule 5 pick at either pitching or hitter. Always worth taking a look at that chump change.
  10. I believe everybody was shocked when both were maintaned. Heck weren't they both not getting along?
  11. This whole thread is very sobering.
  12. Steve ran a 12 yd hook on the left side of the field against single man coverage. If the timing was good chances are it would have been complete. He also would have got out of bounds if he chose to do so.
  13. Who built the ones in the jungles of Brazil? Where did they get the stones for the ones in Egypt? How many years did it take? How did they build those underwater ones off the coast of Japan? How come all thru the world they were built pretty much the same? Why were they built and what were they used for? Just being curious.
  14. I'm very happy about the win. It cheered me up today. And Buck is the man. We suffered 14 straight yrs until we got him. Nuff said.
  15. That's what we need. A rahrah pompom coach. Maybe we can bring back the pie in the face.
  16. They had one and then they said meh
  17. Wonder why Will Davis is sitting? I know Id like to see them keep Young in the slot.
  18. I'm not going to get on Trestman for game calling but you gotta leave somebody in to chip block to help Hurst and I'm putting that squarely on the shoulders of Trestman.
  19. I know a lot of people are gonna blame James Hurst here but can we give Mack and Irvin a little credit.
  20. Is this game here yet? I got this acid reflux in my mouth.
  21. Pretty irritating. Hey man we need 10 yds on 3rd down lets throw a 5 yd pass.
  22. Did better with running in the 2nd half. Just cant go all right up the gut. West really started to seem to get some confidence and hopefully that carries over into the next game. The return of Dixon will also help.
  23. You giving the Steelers the victory already. Staaaaaap.
  24. If anybody thought we was gonna go 16-0................. The good- Hey we kept the score close. The bad- The passrush we kept allowing. The ugly- The Raiders punter twerking after every punt.
  25. I'm gonna have to google that story and I will check it out tomorrow. A man can dream right. I'm kicking back with not much to do. Watched Wisconsin lose then tried to watch some of that game but you know how wives are. "Is that all that's on" so I switched channels for a little while and it was a 3-3 slobberknocker and I swear it was only like 5 minutes and we went to commercial and it was 17-3 when I switched and I gave up the remote.
