Severe disappointment.
My 750 of Duchesse de Bourgogne (that I’ve been saving for this evening) doesn’t taste right. It doesn’t taste foul, but it doesn’t taste like it is supposed to taste. What to do?
by abender20 on Nov 30, 2009 5:24 PM PST reply actions 0 recs
Too much fluorescent light maybe?
Or you could just convince yourself that the name makes it good and that those that don’t appreciate its unique taste are butchers and barbarians.

with Brady and the Pats O line, all against the same defense, just to see what happened.

Yes, well that's where the "weird" part factors in.

Here it be:
You have eight balls all of the same size. Seven of them weigh the same, and one of them weighs slightly more. How can you find the ball that is heavier by using a balance and only two weighings?
by DJ C-Raig on Nov 30, 2009 6:28 PM PST up reply actions 0 recs
By picking each one up until you notice which one's the heaviest
by B.B.Finnegan on Nov 30, 2009 6:29 PM PST up reply actions 0 recs
(In 2 measurements)
w/ the balance.
by DJ C-Raig on Nov 30, 2009 6:30 PM PST up reply actions 0 recs
Don't you have to pick them up to put them on the balance?
Just call out the heavier one when you’re putting them on
by B.B.Finnegan on Nov 30, 2009 6:35 PM PST up reply actions 0 recs
Weigh 3 of them against 3 others. If equal, you have a weighting to examine the other two.
If unequal, your second weighing of any two out of the heavier triplet would give you the answer.

Saw this in a video game.
1. Weigh balls A, B, & C against balls D, E, & F. Either one side will weigh more (meaning the heavy ball is in that group) or both sides will balance (meaning none of them are heavy).
2a. If one side weighed more, weigh two of the balls against each other (for example, A vs. B). Either one will be heavier, or they’ll balance, and the one you didn’t weigh is the heavy one.
2b. If the first six balls all balanced, weigh the other two. Whichever weighs more is the heavy one.

Good question
11-5 without Brady last year, but this is clearly a different team.

They went 11-5 with Cassell.

They're completely retooling that defense
it had a couple more pieces last year than this year (Seymour, Harrison, Bruschi, Vrabel). They’re a team in decline.

It’s pretty impressive to think this is their rebuilding period.

New Orleans
has a bit of problem. That was the Patriots 55th play of the night. They might get to 85 or 90. That defense is going to be exhausted.. .the miss tackling is starting already.

One thing I wonder about Brady
He has benefited from New England’s system so much. As the system becomes more common and defenses better understand how to gameplan against it, will he suffer?
by John Morgan on Nov 30, 2009 8:02 PM PST reply actions 0 recs
Is it the system
or his leg?
That 1st down deep ball was terrible and he had no pressure on him.

I'm sure they'll keep drafting capable backups and then trading them as they become assets.
With a 33 year old Brady, though, that may only happen once more.

Then you’re looking at aging at some of the positions that are key now. I don’t see it.
by abender20 on Nov 30, 2009 8:13 PM PST up reply actions 0 recs
I only see the aging in individual players
Kerney is replaceable and expendable. Terrill is a goner and the only “old” part you’re looking at is the secondary with Lucas and Grant I would think.
Our LB corp is young and deep.
What I see is Seattle’s D improving with experience and new talent.
ME! BANE!
by SSreporters on Nov 30, 2009 8:15 PM PST up reply actions 0 recs
It's hard to say
Seattle has so many good looking young players just entering their prime. You do not assume development, but spread over enough promising candidates, it becomes much more likely. What if some combination of Tapp, Jackson, Wilson, Mebane, Hill, Curry, Hawthorne or Bryant take that next step in the next couple of seasons. All of sudden, Colin Cole isn’t such a problem.
