Oh, monodono, I hope your not riding that bike anymore or I may have to question you?? Also, 3-3 & outs versus turnovers, anyday because it doesn’t shift momemtum as quickly and cost you points which in this league it usually will.

thundersrevenge, your comment on the San Diego game may ring more factual than you think. I agree. I liked the flag comparison…it’s about passion…..blue and orange!!

Hogblog, thanks, I’m having as much fun as you and ejoy sharing a different perspetive. I even watch the game differently.

2champ4pickSIX, were all having fun and get a little wrapped up in the action and the comments, so not to worry, the comment on trading Cutler. I haven’t heard that one but no one remembers but back when #7 was here the guys at the paper wrote stuff like that too, so nothing would surprise me these days. I can’t tell you how much better off we are with him versus the snake and Greise.

Think about it, run around the league in your head and count the QB’s that are real standouts…better yet, look at the stats.

Last note: I”ll catch you all after the game on the next post, headed to Key West for a charity fishing tournament over the weekend that was cancelled by the hurricane last month. Check out the series at http://www.redbone.org. I have a rematch with Wade Boggs for celebrity champion, he got me last year by one fish. ) sissy baseball players!!!!

You bring a lot of game “Cred” into this sight, and I for one am very appreciative. I fun to disagree and banter about. However, I find myself thinking about how it must feel to step on a professional field on Sundays. Your POV’s make good sense. You’re right, the math says turnovers ALWAYS kill you. Additionally, you can’t play without your starters, that’s why 2nd string is just that…2nd string. Doesnt mean they’re not good, it just means they’re not as good as the starters.

Keep the insights coming, and providing some commonsense perspective in here! As you’ve seen, we can get pretty wrapped around the axle at times…but it’s because we love this team so much, it’s like a spouse. You love’em when times are good, and you love’em when times are bad. However, the good times are much easier on us all…

I also agree about the turnovers. We stopped our own momentum, and that hurts.

Looking down the schedule……it appears that the fight for the AFC West is happen may happen in San Diego on Dec. 28th. (Play-off before the Play-offs!)

Whaddaya’ think Coop?

Good hearing from you. Just a couple of things. Royal, Tony & Young out hurt. Actually, I was one that said it would be o.k and we would be fine., but I was wrong. Pittman was amazing at pounding the ball. He was acutally the only “fill in” without missing a beat.

But back to Tony & Royal, these are big targets and when you take Marshall out of the equation due to coverage….well things don’t tick right.

However, with that said, I still think we are fine. Turnovers killed us. In a sense we beat ourselves out there. KC was the same. I’ll take this loss, cuz I know we did it to ourselves. It wasn’t like someone was just outright beating us down…..

It’s all good.

GO GET EM’ BOYS!

O.K. rules are: Anyone can write anything they want (and) as long as they want. I actually read them all. I don’t always agree with them but sometimes I pick up things I haven’t thought about and it gives me some insight. Also, you gals/guys can bust each other as much as you want but be nice!! LOL

So let’s agree to disagree and all have a good time here. I appreciate the thoughts and the ((heart)) that goes into the comments. It’s fun an entertaining for all of us. Most of you bleed Orange and Blue and that’s why we chat. Insight, blow off some steam, rant-rave, yell, it’s all good.

Back to football now. No one heard me blame the Refs because we got a (few calls) ) weeks back and I called it Mile High Magic. We’ll get some calls in our favor and we’ll get some against us, so you have to take the good with the bad. That’s life in the N.F.L. Remember a few weeks ago when we discussed the statistics as in Offense first and Defense last. I had never seen that before, hence the issues we are having on D.

Gonzales won’t be here, to expensive and inside the same conference, never happen. And the DB’s and LB’s didn’t get horrible overnight. You all know we need a pass rush and a blitz package that gets to the QB and makes the QB either nervous, have happy feet or he starts throwing the ball earlier. Pretty simple stuff….and yes, I”ll hang my hat on TURNOVERS…why…to many years in sports…..turnovers=losses, that’s the math, pure and simple, since I was in pee-wee football/basketball, except I was a BIG pee-wee. )

No one is dominating the AFC, and in the NFC, the Cowboys lost to the Cards….who’s the dominate force? The Browns beat the Giants. My point being, all we have to do is take it one game at a time and make the Playoffs.

Last comment because I’m getting long ;o) the injuires. Believe me when I say this, there isn’t a team in the league that can play without 3-4 of their starters and really compete these days. I’m a little worried about Stokley’s concussion. We all know what happend last year with all the injuries. A good team turns mediocre pretty quickly. If Stoleys out, we may see more of two-tightend offense and start pounding the ball and I’m glad Pittman is here!!
