Re: Epic Fustercluck

I was away so not up to date. No idea what is with the skins. Know they were not deep, especially on o-line but I have to be able to see them play to get a feel for what is happening. I know I was more comfortable with Rex even though I knew he would have a stinker game occasionally. Beck I just haven't been able to see play due to circumstances here so I'm in the dark as to his degree of contribution to the problem

Ravens, missed the nightmare, I've now been able to view the first Q of the Cards game, so much catching up to do... but with Pittsburgh coming up, that game will be a major bellwether for this season.

58 yd FG for 3 of those points, not the best way to have to get points.
I really don't think Beck is the answer, much better chance of winning with Grossman unless its his stinker game.
49ers look gook but they have been building for a while now with high draft picks, and have some playmakers.

I had thought/hoped this year was gonna be different. Turning out not to be, but I'm still feeling a lot better than in the past. This team isn't that far from contention, I like a number of the pieces in place, but sorry it is going to be another drafting.

Ravens are best record in the AFC and have beaten Pittsburgh twice.
I'm on the bandwagon but not drinking the purple kool-aid yet, just hoping.

The optimism? LOL no it is more the absence of crushed hopes pessimism.... I think I gotta explain this....

Look at Philly, "the dream team" all the big FA signings, visions of superbowl dancing in fan's heads, and at 3-5 they are tied with the Redskins.
That used to be us, big free agents, hyped hope coming into the season, and massive disappointment to shortly follow, like the Eagle fans are swimming in now.

And speaking of massive disappointment, did you catch the Pats losing to Dallas? The beached whale sitting out a bunch of the second half "because of line rotation?????" NE, welcome to Albertville LOL,
Isn't it nice not to have messes like that swirling here?
The FA/veteran newcomers we got have been decent.
Hightower, Chris Chester....

and the team has some young talent that can be built on... I've said before that the D is going to be fun to watch... Orakpo/Kerrigan would be first stringers on most NFL teams.

Improvement is still needed, and team needs quality depth, but I really feel that this team is not that far from being a playoff contender. Yes we could use a franchise QB, yes we need a road grading OL-man so no kool-aid to pass around this year, but the team is forming before our eyes and if someone can resist the urge to fire everybody not named thedanny.

Helu gets a bunch of receptions (looking like a prime 3rd down back to me, and I mean prime) Davis looking like a solid starter for years.

And no Archuleta, that has got to cause some optimism LOL
