Brady. Brees. Maroney. Thomas. Moss. Colston. Sharper. Applebee's commercials starring Chris Berman, and of course, Ron Jaworski's incredulous chin wagging. Talk about appointment television!

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?

Also take a shot every time Jaworski says "NFL football player" or "The NFL is a quarterback's league"

The NFL is a quarterback’s league. Tom Brady is an NFL quarterback. The NFL is Tom Brady’s league.

I think it would be a fun experiment to line up the non-QB offensive skill positions from every team in the league

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

I understand that.

But I had not yet seen him run that softly. So to me, to see it to that degree, to see how all the collisions have taken their toll, was surprising. Perhaps you’ve seen a lot more of him than I, recently.

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

To me he shows signs of a RB that is tired of punishing collisions. The fact he’s built like the Under Armour mannequin at Sports Authority made it surprising to see.

From undrafted camp fodder to starting back in just two seasons

There might be something to this grabbing young running backs every few years thing instead of drafting ‘franchise backs’

by Gihyou on Nov 30, 2009 6:26 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

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

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.

by DJ C-Raig on Nov 30, 2009 6:45 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

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.

Thats pretty awful if true. Wish I could see some of these plays they’re talking about.

It isn't.

He was fined for “Roughness around the pile” or something. From what I understand he and Smith are pretty good buds.

They're completely retooling that defense

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.

he’s still playing extremely well.

by John Morgan on Nov 30, 2009 8:05 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

Seattle doesn’t retain Ruskell but does sign a very smart offensive minded GM. I’m happy.

by John Morgan on Nov 30, 2009 8:09 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

This defense has too many issues to be elite in the next two years, right?

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.

Why didnt we go after Darren Sharper!

Here’s a team that was starting two CB’s who are Methusalah-old, and probably didnt know the names of half their teammates, certainly didnt know Gregg Williams’ scheme and yet McKenzie slayed, Sharper debacled everyone within his range and McAlister gave up nothing. Harper got run over by a truck with MARONEY on it’s vanity plates but damn, that patched together defensive backfield looked SB quality.
