The thing that concerns me the most about this game is the Ravens use of the zone blitz to disguise pressure and confuse the OLine. IIRC, this has been employed by the Jets and Clowns (under the Rat and Rob Ryan) as well, and it has been pretty effective. I also think the G-Men used this at...

Re: BB unique approach to creating depth and dealing with injuries and disappointment my sense was that ellis wasnt playing as well as Carter, so couldnt crack the lineup. but not is a really strong option in the 4-3 who can play run and passrush. how about having a player like Gerard...

One thing that has stuck me as I look back over the season. The number of important players who were not on the original 53, but stashed on practice squad, shadow roster, and PUP. He really knows how to create extra depth. - Gerard Warren -- cut and kept on shadow roster - Marcus Cannon...

I found this to one of the most interesting twists in the game. on obvious passing downs, to substitute McCourty for Ihedigbo. shift from big time hitting run support to ball hawking. i wasnt sure how well it worked however. in any case, it looked like BB playing to players strengths...

Re: What do Welker, Gronk, AHern, Branch and Woodhead have in common? wow, youre right. it looks like the whole defense has been cut except for mayo and vince!! -- FRITZ

there was plenty of booing in the stadium during these fake injuries. they really slow the game down, since the networks cut away to commercials with everyone.... sucks. (how about a rule change - any injury during a no huddle attack, the injured player has to stay out for 5 plays...? instead...

First, we had an A+++ tailgate. 8 guys, two of those tents put together, then wrapped on 3 sides with a tarp to keep the wind out and the heat in. a heater going inside, and a big tv on a tailgate to watch the SF game, while we ate too much including the deep fried chicken my buddy made. it...

he played great. tho i still remember one play where he had tebow in the backfield and could not bring him down. that tebow mf is strong.. -- FRITZ

should be okay guys. the wind will be there, but not strong. 30 degrees at tailgate start (4pm) 20 degrees at kickoff (8pm) 15 degrees at end of game (11pm) dress warm and go wild!! -- FRITZ

I like the thread and the general point. I will point out however that we lost the Ravens game because the entire effing team got handled and c-worded. I was there and pretty unhappy by end of the 1st Q 24-0. Cant hang that one exclusively on the OL again, I like the main point here...

Every team that is left in the tournament is dangerous now. But i agree with the OP, that the Giants are looking scary (tho hardly the unstoppable juggernaut). Giants = Strong D + Top Tier QB-led O (sometimes!) thats different from every team left. the issue is they are streaky...

serious. he did it once before. its kinda dangerous to deep fry a chicken in the parking lot -- that hot oil can ignite if not handled carefully. but he is an expert. (so far!) we begged him to do it again. -- FRITZ

Now we are talking!! - meatballs - pepperoni - chili once we are warmed up, we proceed to - pulled pork sandwiches - potato pancakes (Pennsylvania dutch) omg - home made calzone the coup de grace then is - my buddy's deep fried chicken, that he injects in advance with butter...

I am so confident, that I am worried. We should win by 20. But....it's going to turn out to be close and full of anxiety (well, that's what usually happens). In the end, the Pats may pull away. But I am so confident, that I am worried. (I remember being so confident leading up to a...

(lets not argue about the flow of the argument guys. this is an interesting thread by the way!) for what its worth, i thought Anderson was our best pass rusher. and that is his main role, and that in run defense, you would rather have someone like ellis on the field there (in a 4-3). if...

yeah. the weather forecast just changed a lot today. from low 20's to single digits. could that account for a bunch of tix appearing on ticket exchange?!!! --FRITZ

this is more in line of what i was thinking actually. the 4-3 is more stout on the run. i think anderson will get pushed around when denver runs. i was thinking earlier today that this could be shaun ellis' game! i also didnt understand why ppl are expecting fletcher to play olb over...

At some point during the Steelers/Broncos game, I started to notice that 51 Mays, their MLB, looked vulnerable. Getting sucked into the wrong gaps, whiffing on tackles on RBs after a dump off pass, generally slow to the ball. Anyone else notice this? I got the feeling he was no Mayo. Can...

Re: Some strange calls This is a really important observation. The difference is lost on me too.

Re: BB advice to Dimitroff and today's loss well put. PS how could that roster have been set last year?? crazy -- FRITZ
