Anyone else watching Falcons-Skins?

The Falcons did the scream/yell/shift/have no intention of snapping the ball in hopes of drawing an offside thing and it actually worked!

Not sure.

I think Seattle wins 6-7 games and the rest of those teams winning 3-5, The Titans are the only one’s I see that could bounce back. Cleveland is another 3 win team.

There are 8 or so guys I'd love to pick,

As long as we’re bottom 8.
3 QBs
2 DTs
3 OT (Okung, Bulaga, Williams)

Someone will bite on Dunlap (like Tyson Jackson)
Someone will bite on Dez Bryant.

I think it's funny watching the Bears melt down. After all the screaming about how all they need is a QB,

and that the defense was still elite, it’s pretty clear that the defense is weak/old/bad and the offense is Cutler in a kindergarten scheme with minimal talent. What sayest thee now, fat Bears fan?

When will the Bears realize Lovie and Babich need to go?

The defending of Grossman time and time again combined with Ron Turner leaving set them back.

Ron Turner really needs to go.

The worst part for the Bears is that they don’t pick until the 4th round this year. Whoops.

Here in Nashville, they have the 60 minute on tap a lot and it is quite disappointing.

It's not bad. It is insanely spread out and people are terrible drivers.

I miss good beer (I’ve only been here for three months.) There is a lots of live music to be had, so that is always good. I don’t appreciate the country music so much, plus the stuff here is the “pop country” which is endlessly annoying.

The people are nice enough. There are a lot of people from other parts of the country. Almost everyone I meet moved from another state.

I won’t live here permanently, my girlfriend is at Vanderbilt for Nurse Practitioner school, but it is not so bad temporarily.

Everything is fried!

There is a building that looks like Batman.

The downtown Honky Tonk scene is very interesting. Every single bar has a live show (No Covers!), and a lot of them are very good musicians, often studio musicians for the various record labels. East Nashville is a cool counter-culture type area. There are all sorts of Civil War sites around and some really old towns.

It would be a neat place to visit I’m sure. I find really interesting places quite often.

They’ve got a lot of malty character.

Agreed

I think my former lack of appreciation for malts swayed my tastes.

by John Morgan on Nov 8, 2009 11:43 AM PST up reply actions   0 recs

And I don't know how to really describe it

but the hops have a different quality than you normally find in a NW IPA. You get less grapefruit flavor.

Speaking of Dogfish, this is a pretty interesting video of the brewers making a Chica:

I want to contact readers and see if they would host me for a Sunday. I want to travel to 12th men in Anchorage and Boise and wherever. I will be in Seattle quite a bit, but I have my own accommodations.

I think you could argue about Terrill

We need the LB and CB depth a lot more than the DL depth.

How are we going to field a defensive backfield without Fisher?

What would we have done if he’d lost a 3rd LB to injury?

When we lost Bennett, we were still in contention. You don’t give up contention for an undrafted rookie who showed flashes of promise in the preseason.

You could also play a 3-3-5

Denver runs the scheme quite a bit.

We use it a fair amount

but I don’t know if that would help our LB-shortage.

-Charlie

by ninjasocks on Nov 8, 2009 12:24 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

I don't remember what roster we had at the time

But I think Leroy was hurt and Lofa was hurt or questionable. We would have had Curry, Hawthorne and Herring, I think, in the LB corps. That’s a pretty shallow pool for special teams and one player away from only fielding 2 LBs. We needed an LB at depth who could fill in at ST and knew the defensive schemes.

"Its not that I can't read and write, its just that I don't like to read and write."
-Charlie

by ninjasocks on Nov 8, 2009 12:23 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

Also Laury, who has been in the system for a while.

I don’t have a problem with D.D. Lewis being on the roster, but I think he easily should of been cut over Bennett.
