yelling and screaming
and i saw the kickoff on my big screen :)
JUST in time to see the foot hit the ball. Sometimes you get lucky and the service guy says “Football?” when you say " I need a channel turned on now". Jets fan but he had it up and running in under a minute and then we are not working out the rest of the details

Focus damned!

Has anyone heard why Duece isn’t playing?
by asaint on Sep 7, 2008 12:39 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
I got to say
I like what I’m seeing so far….minus the penalties. But 3rd down pressure and a sack…that’s something new.
Duece, I haven’t heard. I’m gonna go look
by asaint on Sep 7, 2008 12:47 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
Duece
I went to the Times-Pic live chat and they told me they are “being cautious with him”
The times pic guy sounded like he wanted to vomit because Meachem was on the Inactive list
by asaint on Sep 7, 2008 12:55 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
Really?
So, Devery “I drop passes” Henderson plays while Meacham is inactive? WTF?!?
by Steve the fan on Sep 7, 2008 1:05 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
the run
doesnt seem like we are doing to well stopping the run

Playcalling
Call another type of play, dammit.

Tampa 2
The middle underneath is open, go there with Shockey.
by Steve the fan on Sep 7, 2008 1:12 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
Defense
Hate to say but the defense has outplayed the offense this first half.
by Steve the fan on Sep 7, 2008 1:15 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
One hell of a chess match
for field position!

Will Smith
Did ya’ll see the personal foul they called on 65 of Tampa while will smith and jeff faine were involved in some extracirricular activities?
by asaint on Sep 7, 2008 1:27 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
Yeah
They should have called off-setting penalties.
by Steve the fan on Sep 7, 2008 1:32 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Randall Gay
he had a nice pass break up in there
by asaint on Sep 7, 2008 1:28 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
Payton
I hope he was saving plays for the second half, because all of those screen type plays were getting both annoying and no yards per play.
by Steve the fan on Sep 7, 2008 1:33 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
thoughts?
I think the D is doing well at the rush.
THe secondary is safe as long as we have that hungry 4, no time to setup a deep ball.
The middle… I am not sure. Are they doing the right thing? Or are they letting them nickel and dime us down the field.
Offense.
well the first drive was good….

Linebackers
It seems to me that they are backing up instead of attacking forward.
by Steve the fan on Sep 7, 2008 1:40 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
yup
but is that what we want… is it helping the secondary? 0r are we giving up what we dont need to.
MT

On running plays
where we are being gashed a little. I will take the underneath stuff over giving up the big plays like last year. It is much harder to nickel and dime down the field trying to sustain a drive than it is to throw it deep to the guy TMG 42 is guarding.
by Steve the fan on Sep 7, 2008 1:43 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Oregon and Ellis
are making a huge difference on the D-Line. Seems Grant is pretty happy too playing for Ed. But I still think Gay and KK are overrated.

Effort
earning their game check.

Reggie
Can someone tell him that he can’t take it to the house every time he touches the ball.
by Steve the fan on Sep 7, 2008 1:59 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
shockey
I am SOOO happy we got him :)

Run the Ball
Up the middle. But they didn’t and now they have to settle for the FG.

tech question
isnt this supposed to auto update? Do i have to have something set to do that?
MT
by MT_always on Sep 7, 2008 2:12 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
mine is auto. I didn’t have to do anything
by asaint on Sep 7, 2008 2:13 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
Still
would like Lito in the backfield…
by FrenchFreak on Sep 7, 2008 2:19 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
Don't know...
…what Payton saw starting Devery instead of Meachem but his trade value just went up
by FrenchFreak on Sep 7, 2008 2:22 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
well I guess they decided to doubleteam smith and ellis
by asaint on Sep 7, 2008 2:24 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
Gay is ok
nice job there.
I am impressed… 2 big breakups by the CB that if there were JD were 14 points

Watched the game at boss's house on his big screen-Sunday Ticket
Back home now, here’s a few quick hits:
-Disappointed in the play calling, especially that 3rd down when they sent Reggie up the middle, for a 4th down. Might as well punt on 3rd down.
-Gramatica kicked really well, including kickoffs. I’m impressed.
-Poor tackling everywhere. Wrap them up, guys.
-I’m liking Vilma and Porter a lot.
Did I not predict 23-20? And Devery would catch a TD pass? Suck it, Bucs!
