Christ almighty has the defense been f***ed by the officials today

When Brady is good, he's scary good. Hasn't thrown a pass an inch out of place

Alright defense, you got a little breather. Let's try to get a stop and hopefully the refs don't overlook anything obvious this time

Cutler has no ability to think independently. He still decides his receiver before the play. He just has a scheme that is less likely to burn him for doing it now

Also, am I the only one who noticed that the long pass to Gronk should have been a penalty on Brady for being past the line of scrimmage?

Supposing you want to dump Trestman at season's end, what top offensive mind will want to come deal with Cutler at this point?

QUOTE (bmags @ Oct 26, 2014 -> 01:55 PM) Not defending Tucker but to me, Trestman's/Kromers performance with a potentially elite offense is so so much worse than Tucker's performance with 1 starting corner and 1 linebacker Especially considering the injuries. Tucker has exceeded expectations, not that they were very high

Going three and out after a 17 play drive is a great way to make your defense look awful

Brady was past the line of scrimmage on that pass to Gronk

Why was Fuller out?

Check down Charlie can't even make those throws accurately

That tackle by Shea near the goal line was the first time I have been impressed by a play he's made

Don't let them run the play if there's a false start

I think we might have pulled Williams in favor of Sharpton

Pats with brilliant scheming so far. Taking advantage of our decimated LBs on the ground but working in a series of quick passes to keep us from trying too hard to hone in on the run.

If you end up getting rid of the cats, please try to find a no-kill shelter that will take them or a family that wants them. Lifelong indoor cats don't adapt to the outdoors well. Even full-time outdoor cats have an average lifespan of just four years.

It is actually a part of journalistic ethics to respect on-the-record/off-the-record agreements

Managers just don't matter that much. I'm not too worried about it.

People watching over MLB.tv and internationally are also not included in the ratings

How does the kid/family deal with all of that unreported income?

Not knowing much about CA, I've always thought about what it might be like to live there. A big turn-off is that my impression is that not many of the metros in CA are at all walkable/easily navigated via public transit. One of the big things I've always wanted to have in a potential "dream destination" is the ability to liberate myself from the need to drive everywhere.

I'd be surprised if the Sox brought somebody in to take ABs from Semien. My guess is that both Sanchez and Semien are on the MLB roster to start the year, the question is just what roles they will play. It almost seems as if they prefer Sanchez, which is very surprising to me. Semien shouldn't be relegated to a platoon role at this stage in his career.

Age is a turn-off for me. Great 27-28-29-year-old pitchers rarely make it to market and there's a good reason why. You don't want to compound the built-in risk of pitcher contracts with the many risks associated with aging players.

Yeah you could read it as UIUC playing the game (throwing money at these guys gets their attention) or refusing to (charismatic coach but no $ doesn't bring home the big dogs)

Jay has always had awful fundamentals when it comes to ball security in the pocket. He is very averse to putting both hands on the ball and he tends to hold it low. You can't pick and choose when to secure when you often don't see the threat coming - it's surprising to me the fumbles haven't been a bigger problem in the past, when he was sloppier and sacked more often.
