LNB

Just found the next jersey I am going to buy. We need more people with this attitude.

John graduated from Miami University. the last time I checked, Oxford, Ohio is south of Columbus. Your geography needs some work.

We have so many question marks going into next year: Joe's knee, receiving corps, can the defense learn to play all 4 quarters in a game and not konk out halfway through. But the one thing that is rock solid is the Wolf Pack. Koch, Cox, and Tucker are always dialed in and on the money. They push themselves to do more. Our FO would have to be nuts to ruin the one part of the team that currently has nothing wrong with it!!

Or they could be Steelers fans trolling our website. That makes about as much sense as saying Tucker isn't worth the money!

I second that. And pay him well. What did Joe say during the first Steelers' game this year - "send Justin in and let him win this thing so we can go home".

I wish we would have kept Bryn; I think he has real potential. But, if he can't get on the field with us, I am glad he is getting a chance with someone. The guy more than deserves a chance to play. Good Luck Bryn!

You just cannot say enough for Chuck P. The league could use a lot more people with his perspective. Come home Coach. We would love to have you back!!

As an engineer, I don't believe in luck. There are always a combination of events that lead up to a failure. Not all failures are alike, but if you track enough of them, you will learn ways to prevent failures. Is there one "quick fix" - very unlikely. But writing it off to being "unlucky" is simply taking an easy way out and not wanting to address the issue because it is a difficult one to solve.

And I still think we should lock him up in a 3 year contract or more. Even now, he is better than most, and you know he find the problem and fix it.

Can't help but wonder about after effects of the collapsing turf in San Fran. That seems to be about the point when JT's kicking went strange (or shall we say, wide right). Wonder if there is some minor pull/injury left over from that fall? Still amazes me that he didn't break something.

Has there been an update on Maxx? I know there are limits on how much the team can share due to the privacy laws but a general update on how he is doing would be cool.

No Kidding. I think he looks for his opportunities. He had one of these in the preseason this year that took a few years off my life. No Tucker, NO! This game has no meaning and you are too valuable, then WHACK. Tucker popped up a lot faster than the guy with the ball did. You get the impression that he was a linebacker or a DB in a former life.

You can bet that there are a lot of people in Denver who still remember that play very well too. Except, I doubt if it brings back smiles for them. Tee Hee!

Yeah, that hurt.

Even if SSS does retire this year, really wish he would stay on as a coach/mentor/counselor in some fashion. With his home in Charlotte, I could see where he would choose not too. But young players coming into the game could truly benefit from his leadership and real world common sense both on and off the field.

Agreed! Now, would someone please get this man a contract!!!

Or twist an ankle. When he first went down, I was holding my breath until he got up. Seems worthy of a complaint to the league office - opposing teams are supposed to provide safe facilities to play in. If he had been hurt, we would have been up you-know-what creek without a rowing object.

Coach Brooks, I think they call him "CB" - this first name starts with a "C" as well but I am too lazy to look it up right now. He is the real deal. Much rather have him than Pees. Then again, right now, I would much rather have my cat than Pees.

Ross did a great job for his first game off the practice squad. He had more confidence and played with more attitude than some of the guys that have been on the team for a while. Makes you wonder if there might be another hidden gem or two that we need to shake out of the PS.

One catch for officially one yard. And another one that went literally right through his hands - and we needed it very badly. I have tried really hard to like this guy, but in my opinion he has not only used up this three strikes (pardon the sports switch), but a few extras as well. He has had more than enough time to show his potential if it is really there, and "athletic ability" can only carry you so far. Catch the freaking ball or give the space to someone who can.

Did anyone else watch Q playing out of his mind last night? He had 8 receptions - more than OBJ on the Giants. This is three years after we traded him for some stupidly low pick because he was "too old" and "at the end of his career". If anything, he looked faster and stronger, and he was definitely outplaying Torrey. It was enough to make you want to barf.

We can always hope so. He watched that Browns TE beating CJ all game and never made an adjustment to help him out. It was clear the TE (sorry, don't remember the name) was McCown's favorite target, and a Linebacker on a good TE is just not a fair matchup. Another situation like the three-man rush - it took him two losses to quit calling that play. He may be a good coach, but he doesn't seem willing/able to make adjustments in game situations.

I like this guy. He has fought his way into a starting job the hard way, by listening, working, and making himself better. Kamar was a Raven from day 1; it just took a little time for us to find him.

Just one thing to add: PAY. THE. MAN.

So has anyone come up with a good explanation as for why there wasn't a flag on that play? The defensive player hit helmet first with enough force to break bones and Steve was already on his way out of bounds. That would be 1) late hit; 2) leading with the crown of the helmet; and possibly even 3) defenseless receiver. Considering all the ticky-tacky, senseless flags we have seen in the first three weeks of this season, this was one that should have been thrown for safety's sake. I hope the FO at least submits tape for review.
