Their running game needs to pick up already

Miami needs to draft a QB with pocket presence

Manning and Romo have it. Henne and Moore do not.

Hell yeah air it out Eli

by phinsphan85 on Dec 11, 2011 8:47 PM EST reply actions

He has the prettiest fade in the NFL, usually to Manningham

overshot it that time but better than an INT. Unfortunately for them Gilbride has been Henning-esque this year.

by phinsphan85 on Dec 11, 2011 8:48 PM EST reply actions

Hence the draw play on 3rd and goal from the 5...

WTF!?!?!?

Quick Question completely unrelated to the Giants Cowboys game.

Does anyone else find Tom Waddle tp be extremely arrogant and obnoxious? I know I do.

I always used to watch NFL Scoreboard with him and Jamie Dukes on NFL Network.. He’s very dry, that much I can tell you. He’s a Chicago guy as well (not that that means anything, I’m just saying). He pretty much sticks to his guns and definitely doesn’t ge too excited about much. It takes quite a bit to pull him back off his initial opinions. The way he feels about you week 1, he’ll probably still feel the same week 13, regardless of progression/regression

by phinsphan85 on Dec 11, 2011 9:11 PM EST up reply actions

I dont like him at all.

He offers no insights or analysis, he seems to be oblivious as to situations that his job dictates he understand (for example I dont believe he knows anything about the Bills injury situation), he discounts everyone elses opinions and he is snide.

by civwarbuff on Dec 11, 2011 9:19 PM EST up reply actions

Yeah he's opiniated for sure

I think he’s too Bears-biased to really have a national analystic (yeah i probably made up that word) position. He has his own show on ESPN 1000 in Chicago I believe. He’s probably too infused with that and their team and concentrates much less on other situations such as the Bills injuries as you alluded to.

by phinsphan85 on Dec 11, 2011 9:28 PM EST up reply actions

Yea.

He isnt great but what can you do I guess. As for his Bears bias I havent caught on to it per-se but obviously he played for them so for hi mto have an emotonal connection to the club wouldnt surprise me (even if that was 15 years plus ago and the team is a completely different one)

Ha I admit, that's a bad call there

Nobody was catching that ball. The defender leapt in the back of the end zone and couldn’t even touch it

Duke, you around?

Or am I like Mosul in the Army-Navy thread talking to myself lol

lol ok i will in just a bit :)

I’m sure it’ll be green within minutes if it isnt already

I have a couple posts up in separate windows so i can maneuver around easily.

You were much nicer on one of your replies than what I would have been

by phinsphan85 on Dec 11, 2011 10:26 PM EST up reply actions

I'm a nice guy... LOL

I just don’t like being called a bad fan because I don’t blindly accept the crap I see from this team.

yeah that's twice today though

also did it during the live game thread, Enough already

There's a difference between being crazy pessimistic...

like “Moore just threw an INT, he sucks! Trade him for a bag of rocks!” and being critical of the team, especially when they are struggling.

The funny thing is this blog is nowhere NEAR as bad as some other ones

I’ve spied on some other live game threads and trust me, we are not the “worst fanbase”. All fans of teams do this. It’s normal.. Those that DON’T get bothered by the team’s poor performance is what bothers me

How does a comment turn green anyway? 3+ recs or something?

Anyway, i can’t wait til the season is over lol. We could be happy 4 weeks from now, even more so 5 months from now.. Or extremely miserable. I’m quite anxious about it all. The next few months could be crucial for the next 10-15 years.

by phinsphan85 on Dec 11, 2011 11:34 PM EST up reply actions

3+ recs will make a comment green

So turn it on again.

Indeed...

I’m glad I didn’t start the Cowboys defense this week. LOL
