  1. Okay so he played for the Baltimore Ravens who used to be the Cleveland Browns. Then he played for the new Cleveland Browns and now he's playing for the Colts who used to be in Baltimore before the Browns/Ravens. Interesting.
  2. Made MHJ doesn't want to play for the Colts. Sometimes guys don't want to follow their dad if he was a legend. They want to write their own story with a different team.
  3. The horrible calls in the Browns game come back to haunt us. If they don't happen, we don't need this game. That being said why for the biggest play of the season do you put in a third string PS player to throw to?
  4. Quick question. When we line up on defense our line has four guys spread very wide with run lanes right up the middle. When Atlanta or for that matter any team we play lines up they have five guys lined up tight with no obvious holes and still have two edge rushers available to shut down the outside runs and rush the passer. Seriously where are the rest of our defenders? It's like we are constantly in a prevent defense.
  5. Back when we used to have more viewing parties (We had the only HDTV). We'd always have some food from the opponent's city. Examples: Clam chowder and Boston Cream Pie for the Patriots, BBQ for the Chiefs, Steak and Cheese sandwiches for the Eagles. It always went over well and since Peyton was playing, we won a lot.
  6. True, 38 points against the NFL's top defense after 4 turnovers is pretty impressive. Anytime you drop 38 on somebody you should win. You're not asking the defense to do much. If they let the opponent drive 80 yards for the win behind a backup QB, that's not on the offense. They did their job, even with the mistakes. And this isn't an outlier, it's a pattern. We've done this for years. Anybody remember the Dallas and Vikings games last year? We can't close teams out. I'd rather be down with the ball in the last two minutes than ahead playing defense. I told my wife the Browns would drive the field and score with 20 seconds left to win. I think it was 15.
  7. Were they covering the spread? I haven't seen that obvious an attempt to influence the outcome of a game in years. Yes, we gave them 10 points at the end of the first half which killed us, but we came back and beat their sorry *, fair and square. The taunting on Pittman was nonsense, but the PI call on the uncatchable ball that put them on the 1-yard line with a first down was nothing short of egregious. So, who made the big bucks on the outcome of this game?
  8. You realize Minshew threw 8 interceptions today. The first got wiped off by a penalty, the Jags dropped three gimmes including the last one which may have been dropped on purpose since it was a 4th down play, there were the three they did catch and there was the one they should have had if not for a superhuman effort at a one-handed catch by Pierce that the Jags #5 was headed the other way with if Alec doesn't snag it. I told my wife after the first three, including the penalty wipe-off, that I wondered if Minshew forgot he wasn't still playing for the Jags because he kept throwing the ball right to them.
  9. What ya going to do with Minshew-mania runs wild over you? Nice to see some fire. When Riech was here it was like a prayer meeting, even on the field. Dungy and the boys were probably more sedate because first, you take on the demeanor of your coach (and Tony was a pretty steady guy), second, your QB (and Peyton was all business) and finally they were an established team with one of the best long-term success records in history. This team is young and is just learning to win. Every game especially divisional games are big to them. Maybe someday winning will become so normal for them that they'll get more like the Dungy/Peyton years. That wouldn't be a bad thing.
  10. You're right, but 30 yards would have been even better. 👍😎
  11. Don't understand some of the teams ahead of us including TN, Houston and 0-3 Minnesota, but it's early. If people want to discount us, as long as we keep winning, I don't care.
  12. I think DTV stream has a deal where they effectively pay for your Sunday Ticket with a $400 rebate or something. They keep sending me ads for it, but since I'm in Indy I don't need it. I've got Paramount+ to watch Channel 4. Channel 59 is an issue. Fox sports app won't work because my provider isn't recognized as a FOX provider.
  13. I know the money is very different, but I used to work for a local cable company. I was in charge of the auditing department. Our job was to look for illegal hookups and prosecute the people who hooked people up. We found a couple of guys who worked for us who hooked up a couple of friends for beer and pizza. They both lost jobs that back in the early 80's were paying them $20K+ per year plus a great benefit program. They were both married with children and sole providers. One was the brother-in-law of the installation manager. My point is some people do stupid stuff because they just don't think about the consequences. I remember still today the conversation between the one guy and his boss/BIL. It was not going to be a fun Thanksgiving at the house.
