Seems like this year more then ever all the forum is used for is to post links to stories we all read before their posted, *****ing about media members who said something bad about us, or just general ass grabbing. Gone are the the on the field threads about keys to the game, or how to counteract the skins pass D. Instead I get a Mike reiss link.

Maybe I should be a more active participant and post these types of threads. Hopefully we get back to basics at some point.

sometimes i wake up in the middle of the night and my entire left arm has no feeling.

Of course, it had fallen asleep b/c i had fallen asleep laying on it a weird way.

but everytime i wake up in the middle of the night, and my arm is asleep, i kinda freak out.

One day in college i woke up to my alarm for a test in an important class very early and BOTH arms were asleep.... yes you read that right, both arms. So i was flopping back and forth trying to get out of bed but i couldn't. I looked like a fish rolling around. it was a really crappy experience.

I ended up making the test and i probably got an 83 on it.

Are you familiar with the self-pleasuring method known as "the stranger"?

You might have a pinched nerve in your neck Keegs. Better get that stuff checked out.

Also, the in depth analysis tends to go out the window when you're carpet bombing opponents by 20 points a game.

Just one of the pitfalls of success.

For example, I correctly predicted the key to the Miami game was having the plane land on time and acquiring the hotel with the proper ambience for Tom and the supermodel's dalliance on Monday.

Hard to pinpoint which one of the seven touchdowns in the first half was the key one.

Please do. I don't know enough about the defense that Washingtor runs to talk specifically about countering it. It may drop off with someone complaining about Peter King, but just bump it back up. As RC stated, it is hard to pinpoint precisely what one thing needs to be done when NE is killing teams.

During the Indy week we should see a few more of those types of threads, along with a bunch of other sophmoric ones as well, I'm sure.

I do not disagree with the content, but may understand a reason.. my passion for the team is still there, but the games have been rather blase to this point. It is like watching a highlight film and there is a lack of drama, perhaps the next couple of weeks will prove us wrong. But difficult to question McDaniels when our team is scoring the way it is, difficult to find keys to the game when we are winning by 20+.. I also think there a lot of new posters who revel in the fluff instead of the hard core stuff, but it will swing back if there are a few close games or a loss.
