Day After Rants: Dirty Birds

PrintThese rants almost didn't happen thanks to a massive consumption of the alcohol known as Jack Daniels and Bacardi. But alas, I drank enough to not be able to sleep, so I was able to write these.
This week was a big win, sort of like last week except the Saints have now done everything but clinch the division. I'll go into that further when I start my ranting, but this game was awesome. It was almost like the inverse of the 2010 Falcons-Saints match up. Saints winning on an OT FG after a "WOW" moment by the opposing team. That just seems familiar.
So anyway, make the jump to see more rants, pro Brees arguments, and another play breakdown.
Do You Realize How Much This Win Mattered?
The New Orleans Saints are now 7-3 and the Falcons are 5-4. If the Saints had lost, the Saints would be 6-4 and the Falcons would be 6-3. The Falcons would be in first place and in control of their own destiny by a game. By winning, the Saints are in first place, get to relax this week, are in control of their own destiny (by two games currently) and have the #3 seed if the playoffs started tomorrow.
This was a huge game and it's great that the Saints won.
How About that Curse?
Saints are now 2-0 when wearing throwbacks and 2-0 when wearing black pants and white jerseys. Polar opposite from what happened last year. Who was that idiot saying the black pants were at fault for the Saints losses? He should be drawn and quartered! Look over there! (runs away).
In Which I Piss Off Coldpizza and Start Another Argument When I'm Actually Being Kinda Sarcastic.
Saints lost TOP 36:32 to 30:03.
Saints lost offensive balance by having a pass run percentage of 73: 27 compared to the Falcons 63:37.
Scott Shanle had the game changing interception.

Awesome Pic of The Week
In which I defend Mike Smith Even if It Makes My Ulcer Flare Up
Ok, going for it on 4th down, I agree with that call. Don't look at the results, look at the game. Your offense just put a 3 and out on the field. Your team is tired, there's little momentum, the fans are nervous, and Drew Brees is salivating at the chance to march down the field.
If the Falcons make that down, the Falcons have stunned the Saints, have the ball back, are in control of this game, and their defense gets to rest a little bit longer. Most of all, you put the thought in everyone's head that you want to win this game.
That I agree with completely. However, running Turner up the gut in a play which everyone and their mom knew was coming...was mind boggling. You spread the Saints out by going 4 wide and have a draw play, that's shocking. You go play action from an I-formation, that's shocking. Running Turner in an I-form...isn't shocking.
It just seems like to me Smith put his balls to the wall with that call, and then made a play call that was anything but. So let's break it down, shall we?
Breakdown of the Week: Stuffed on 4th Down
Here is the play in question. Falcons have decided to go for it on 4th and inches in overtime. As you can see from the following image, the Falcons are in the I with a 2 Tight end, 2 back set with Roddy White out wide. Saints are anticipating run.
Ryan sends White out in motion, revealing the Saints are going to blitz as Jabari Greer is in man coverage with Roddy White. If Ryan were in a play action pass, the Falcons likely get this down and I may be writing this post through tears and Jack Daniels. Instead of just tears of Jack Daniels.
Here's where I would be screaming for play action. Saints have 10 guys at the line. 10!! If Matt Ryan fakes to Turner and throws to Roddy White (a supposed premier wideout in the league) he gets this first down very easily. Yet it's a running play. Pity for them.
Now, take a look at what Turner has to deal with. His only shot is to start running North-South and hoping that the Saints defenders watching him all can't tackle him...which is something that was very likely to happen knowing how "well" they tackled in this game. Still, anything up the gut is a guaranteed stuff, and he needs to go the outside immediately.
Turner decides that up the gut is the way to go. The Saints laugh and proceed to tackle him.
Turner gets stuffed behind the line of scrimmage for a 2 yard loss and a turnover on downs for the Falcons.
Finally, the reaction of who dat nation.

Weekly "Why Brees is Awesome" Rant
Brees has the most completions of any NFL QB by 61 completions. Now, Brees also has the most attempts in the league with 422, good for 60 most over any QB. However, Brees 70.9 completion rate is good for an NFL record and is only 2nd to Aaron Rodgers 72.5%. Brees threw for a total of 3,004 yards over 9 games, the first QB in NFL history to do so. Tom Brady became the 2nd QB to do that today with 3,032. Brees currently leads the league with 3,326 yards. However, Brees ranks 8th in terms of YPA. He isn't making tons of deep throws, but is starting to take what the defense is giving him, and still getting these numbers.
Brees is 2nd in terms of yards per game. That distinction goes to Brady who has 4.3 yards per game more. Drew Brees is tied for 2nd in the league for total passing touchdowns with 23. His interceptions is tied for 4th most in the league, however, is over the "2:1 TD: INT" ratio. Brees is tied with Mike Vick and Rex Grossman, with Cam Newton and Tom Brady having 10 interceptions. Drew Brees has the most passing first downs with 170, which gives him the 5th highest 1st down percentage with 40.3%. Drew Brees is also tied for the 4th most 20 yard plays or more, while also being tied for 7th in 40 yard plays or more. He has 38 and 6 respectively. Drew Brees has taken 19 sacks, Jay Cutler has gone down 23 times and Big Ben has been downed 31 times. Good for 16th, 5th, and 1st respectively. Finally, Drew Brees has the 3rd highest QB rating with 101.3. Brady is 2nd with 102.0 and Aaron Rodgers is first with 129.0.
Awesome Dog Pic of the Week:
Winning Streak
The Saints are two more wins away from having their 3rd straight winning season. If they make the playoffs, this will be their third straight winning season and third straight playoff appearance. If this team can get another Lombardi, I don't know how you can say this team isn't a dynasty.

Saints lost offensive balance by having a pass run percentage of 73: 27 compared to the Falcons 63:37.
“Lost” offensive balance? Really? Neither team maintained reasonable balance. Neither team won comfortably. And this belies that assertion how? If both teams passed (or ran) 100% of the time, one of them is obviously going to win. You’re not exactly shedding new light on the subject.

Uh ... hello?
I’m readily admitting that what occurred doesn’t conform to my idea of what should happen. My idea of what should happen is that the Saints should run a more balanced attack and win games more comfortably based on that approach, along with other contributing factors. For whatever the reason, they don’t do that regularly. Of what inability do you speak? I seem to be fully cognizant of the fact that Sean Payton and I aren’t on the same page, in terms of offensive philosophy.
You can toga party, but you can't toga fish.
Not what I meant
I know that you gripe about it after every game, win or lose. My point is that after the games that don’t fit your theory, you write them off as an anomaly. The Falcons were the more balanced team, by a pretty wide margin. They lost. Denver was the most unbalanced team in the league this week, and they managed to win by a touchdown. St. Louis was less balanced and lost the TOP. Still won. The Giants were the more balanced team and dominated TOP. Didn’t add up to a win. That doesn’t even mention the teams that jumped out to a big lead by using an unbalanced passing attack and only started running to play keep away and kill the clock. Yet somehow these are all just anomalies, and success trends towards that all important 50-50 split (except when it doesn’t).

The Falcons weren’t a balanced team at all. 63/37 isn’t balanced. And what you’re mentioning aren’t anomalies. An anomaly is something completely out of the norm. Teams win despite having slightly less TOP all the time. That doesn’t mean it behooved them to have less. Teams win despite missing FGs all the time. That doesn’t mean it behooves them to miss FGs. Would you call a missed FG an anomaly? I sure as hell wouldn’t.
You can toga party, but you can't toga fish.
The Falcons weren’t a balanced team at all. 63/37 isn’t balanced.
They were a heck of a lot more balanced than the Saints, and as you have said constantly, the more balanced team has an advantage. I guess it wasn’t as much of an advantage as the Saints had from constantly utilizing a passing game that worked.
And what you’re mentioning aren’t anomalies. An anomaly is something completely out of the norm.
So if it is the norm for teams to win when they are out of balance, doesn’t that make everything you’ve said in this thread worthless?

You act like I only bitch about this sort of thing after losses. I’ve been doing it all season, outside of the two games they managed to keep it in between 60/40. Which just so happen to be the two games they won most comfortably. There’s still been seven other glaring examples of “could be going about this whole play calling thing better” served up thus far, regardless of whether they happened to come out on top on the scoreboard.
You can toga party, but you can't toga fish.
The two biggest factors in this game, not including OT, were not TOP or Balance. The saints won the TO margin and both kickers missed a FG. I believe that if we didn’t win the TO margin and their kicker didn’t miss, we lose.
It’s not always a balanced attack that wins, it will always depend on the team you are playing but do I believe, based on some of the nice runs that we got, that we could have run more and possibly controlled the game better in the 4th and not gone to overtime. There is certainly a huge amount of precedence to back that up. But because we were able to win and tie in those other areas we came out ok. The OT gaff by smith speaks for itself and so we won. Very close game.

of course you could say that if we ran a more balanced approach, 60-40, 65-35, we may have had less punts, but ATL D line is very good but not 2.9 yards a carry good. We could have done better ont he ground.

Every team in the league is 2.9 ypc good, if you stop running after a couple of stuffs. Just think if they took that same approach to passing. Drew BREEEEEEEEEEEES sure wouldn’t be doing NyQuil commercials.
You can toga party, but you can't toga fish.
Thats what I’m saying though, we should have run a bit more, especially late 3rd and with a 10 point lead in the 4th. PT and Ingram could have easily carried us to a non OT victory. ATL is averaging 4 ypc against their D line.
Has anyone ever noticed we don’t run very many toss run plays?

Correlation =/= causation. The more successful the drive, more than likely the more plays. The more plays, the higher the likelihood of variance – run/pass, different types of run, different types of pass.
It handily eliminates those drives where a failed run causes failed passes on 2nd-and-9 and 3rd-and-9. Funny that.

Correlation =/= causation.
Absolutely. And what you just described is the causation. It also summarizes the advantage of mixing it up, i.e., the reason the topic is brought up so often. The correlation includes EVERY drive. Even the three and outs. In case you haven’t noticed, it’s mathematically impossible for a three play drive to fall within a 59/41 split. It’s either 100/0 or 67/33. Same goes for interceptions on the very first play. There is no accumulation of plays on one play drives. There’s also no balance.
The more successful the drive, more than likely the more plays.
The more balance on the drive, the more successful the drive. You don’t need to rack up a single first down to arrive at that conclusion, champ. Any one play drive either ended in an INT, a fumble, a TD, a FG, a safety, or a kneel. I’ll give you a hint which one is most prevalent (starts with i). Any two play drive also ended one of those six ways, guaranteed. The most prevalent? Also starts with i. If one of those two plays happened to be a run, the i word is automatically avoided for however many number of seconds that play took. That automatically makes the drive more successful than a pass only two play drive. 2 = 2. 1 is not contingent upon the other, outside of the fact that the second doesn’t exist without maintaining possession. On a one play drive, that’s accomplished far more frequently on a non-pass. That’s just common sense. So much for your “more plays” angle.

"I want to hand this trophy to the MVP of the Super Bowl -- and the MVP of the entire league.''
-- Saints coach Sean Payton, handing the Vince Lombardi Trophy to Drew Brees after Super Bowl 44.
I’ve already done that for several games. Here’s a simple how to:
1. Pull up the play by play on each game.
2. Break down each drive by pass or run.
3. Be sure to exclude “no play” penalties.
4. Determine the passing percentage of each drive, by dividing the number of passing plays by the total number of plays.
5. Note the end result of the drive and categorize each as TD, FG or FAILED.
6. If the passing percentage of the drive is 60% or higher, or 40% or lower, that’s considered an unbalanced drive. Tally that number of drives.
7. If it falls anywhere in between 60 and 40, that’s a balanced drive. Tally that number of drives.
8. Multiply each tally by 7. This is the maximum number of points that can be reasonably expected for each offensive series. You can actually score 8, there’s just no sense in watering down statistics based on something so uncommon as a 2 pt conversion.
9. Tally the number of points scored for each of the two categories. 3 points per FG, 7 points per TD. There’s no reason to deduct for a missed PAT. The run-pass ratio obviously has no bearing on that.
10. Divide the number of points in both categories by it’s respective “drive times seven” number. This will give you a success rate, i.e., points out of possible points.
If you do this for every game, the higher percentage will lie with balanced without fail.

By that definition, every 3 and out drive is unbalanced
If you run twice and pass once (or vice versa), and then punt, by your definition of being outside the 40 – 60% range, the drive was unbalanced. If you honestly believe that this is a valid way of calculating anything then you need to be wearing a helmet.

Of course it’s a valid way of calculating it. If passing or running 67% of the time was inherently effective, the drive would be longer than three plays. It’s obviously not, if you’re punting. If you happen to score on the first or third play, then that unbalance would be getting credit for the TD or FG, would it not? If you think credit should exist without demerit, then you need to be wearing a helmet.
You can toga party, but you can't toga fish.
I’m saying it is impossible to measure balance to the standard you want when the sample size forces one outcome.
"I want to hand this trophy to the MVP of the Super Bowl -- and the MVP of the entire league.''
-- Saints coach Sean Payton, handing the Vince Lombardi Trophy to Drew Brees after Super Bowl 44.
The outcome is failure. Any three and out is failure, unless you want to credit TOP. Where’s the point of contention?
You can toga party, but you can't toga fish.
Conversely, not every three play drive is a failure. Not every one play drive is a failure. The opportunity for success is there either way. It’s obviously more difficult to score on so few plays, but not terribly more so than it is to score on a two or four play drive, both of which can end within 60-40. Both can end in failure, also. It’s give and take on sample sizes that small.
You can toga party, but you can't toga fish.
By that definition, every 3 and out drive is unbalanced
How would YOU define a 3 and out drive? Balanced? Successful?
You can toga party, but you can't toga fish.
OK, just for clarity here, are you saying that if a 3 and out drive consists of 2 passes and 1 run, that the drive failed because it wasn’t balanced enough?
"I want to hand this trophy to the MVP of the Super Bowl -- and the MVP of the entire league.''
-- Saints coach Sean Payton, handing the Vince Lombardi Trophy to Drew Brees after Super Bowl 44.
No, I’m not. I’m saying it was unbalanced and it failed. Both facts. Your conclusion as to whether drives are successful or not based on (because of) such unbalance ON THE WHOLE should be derived from the success rate of ALL drives that fall outside of a 59.9999999-40.0000001 split either way.

If you cannot apply causation at the micro level, you probably shouldn’t be applying it at a macro level.
You understand that you can’t apply balance as causation for a 3 play drive, but don’t seem to grasp what that means for your theory as a whole. (here’s a hint: it means you’re full of BS)

-Lombardi was wrong...it's the internet, not fatigue that makes cowards of us all. But then again, what do you expect. Not like the guy could see the future.
au contraire
Technically, any offensive series is at least four plays without a turnover or expiration in time. The opportunity for within 60/40 balance IS there. Teams simply elect to forego the 4th play in lieu of better field position on their subsequent drive.
Statistics 102: voluntary action should never rule out general application.
You can toga party, but you can't toga fish.
73.8% pass heavy would definitely qualify one of the biggest factors in the game had we lost. As such, it should still rank as one of the top areas in which we need to improve. And “winning” TOP means virtually nothing in and of itself, as I’ve said countless times. 30:01-29:59 is “winning” TOP. Practically irrelevant. It depends on how much you win it by. The time in OT being even more critical, as you’re guaranteed a half win, if your opponent fails to score.

You bet. Nine more rushing attempts over the course of the game by the Saints wouldn’t have altered the outcome of the game whatsoever, in terms of the amount of time Atlanta was given to work with on their final drive. Those 115 seconds were fate. A gift from the Peregrine gods above. Matt Bryant can make a FG from his own 20, if need be. Field position on FGs doesn’t matter. Hell, field position in general doesn’t matter. That’s why teams decline every penalty committed by their opponent. Time of possession, schmime of possession. Great convincing win by the Saints as is. I wish they all came down to the sudden death. It’s invigorating.

Team A trails by 9 points. They are afforded one total second TOP in order to overcome that deficit. No more, no less.
Team B trails by 9 points. They are afforded seventeen total seconds TOP in order to overcome that deficit. No more, no less.
Both teams throw Hail Mary TD on the ensuing play from scrimmage. Both teams covert their untimed two point conversions. Only one team still has an opportunity to win the game. What team might that be? What is the lone factor that contributes to that difference?
I’ll give you a hint: it isn’t points scored.

Proof that the above statement is false.

In the game referenced above:
Points scored (13) less points conceded (13) is NOT >0.

In the final regular season standings above, a 9 win Eagles team does NOT qualify for a wild card berth without the aforementioned tie (read: half win).
Instead, they lose out on a tiebreaker to Chicago, who beat them in this head-to-head matchup:
http://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/200809280chi.htm
Further, Donovan McNabb admitted after the game that he was unaware that overtime games could end in ties. This lack of knowledge certainly didn’t contribute to a sense of urgency on his part in the extra period of play. In that sense, one could easily assert that TOP (and not scoring) — albeit unintentional — mattered greatly in hindsight.
You can toga party, but you can't toga fish.
Further, every NFL coach possesses a chart on when to attempt 2 pt conversions. These charts are broken down by time remaining in the game. The suggested courses of action are derived from the average duration of drives and are updated every season based on the latest information collected.
If nothing but scoring mattered, there would be no need for such a column. They’d simply go for two whenever it a successful attempt would pull them within 3 or 8 points.
You can toga party, but you can't toga fish.
Saints lost TOP 36:32 to 30:03.

Surely that would have led to an even more convincing Saints victory.

Re: the Mike Smith call
I don’t necessarily disagree with it, either. I would gone about it a little differently, though. I would have attempted to draw the Saints offsides, called a time out if that didn’t work, THEN come back and either run a less predictable play or faked a punt. The OT period was already half over. What are you saving your time out for in that situation? Use it to your advantage.

Why would they have to? Have there not been enough nationally televised Colts games this season? Oh wait, I forgot. You’re from a third world country. Televisions are electronic picture boxes, somewhat similar to the computer monitor you’re looking at now. They broadcast football games on them sometimes. It’s common for teams everyone thought were going to be competitive going into the season to be included in those broadcasts. Sometimes expectations don’t pan out, due to washed up players and those teams lose their first 9 games of the season. Glad I could share some of this insight with you, little fellow.

banks.. good read.. but you shouldn't second guess your prior statements..
any day you can piss-off pizza, is a good day..
lemme assist your recap.. but pointing out the saints game-plan obviously was based on heavy-passing.. although a few runs were mixed in there, and even with a couple of good delays by pierre.. the run game looked to be relegated to a non-factor.. at least a non-positive one..
it was when we attempted to run on 1st down that we got stoned & set ourselves back on schedule for a conversion.. a couple of key drops.. & a curious persistance with a naked pass to the flat.. contributed to our less than saintly 3rd down conversion..
there was a curious call, in the 1st half.. after a couple of successful runs.. sitting at 2nd 9, inside the 20 we have a 3rd straight run that loses yards & sets up a failed 3rd down pass..
it seemed that a play-action on 2nd & 1, taking a shot at the end-zone.. would have been the better selection..
we have a 3rd straight run that loses yards & sets up a failed 3rd down pass..
There weren’t three straight runs that lost yards. There were only three all game. What game were you watching?
You can toga party, but you can't toga fish.
yes, there was..
pierre on 1st down gained 11.. run again: gain of 9.. run again loss of 4.. setting up a failed pass on 3rd.. & a later missed field-goal..

by the 9th plague on Nov 14, 2011 7:21 AM CST up reply actions
So, let me get this straight. Two runs that net 5 yards is a problem, but one pass that fails to net 5 isn’t? The league average for carries is somewhere around 3.9. The league average for a passing attempt is somewhere around 8.6. What aspect of the offense is failing to pull their weight the most here?
You can toga party, but you can't toga fish.
I do agree with you that they probably should have passed in that situation. It would have been the less predictable approach. What I don’t agree with is your faulting the failed drive on the running game. It was the lack of balance that did them in.
You can toga party, but you can't toga fish.
I’m really not an advocate of three of the same play (run or pass) being run consecutively, unless the clock is a looming factor. I know that’s easier said that avoided. Still, I’d probably come back with a 2-1 split the other way on the next three snaps. For the sake of interest, here’s a breakdown of the 12 drives from yesterday:
1. P5, R2 – FG
2. P2, R1 – punt
3. P5, R1 – punt
4. P3, R0 – TD
5. P3, R0 – punt
6. P2, R4 – FG
7. P6, R1 – TD
8. P4, R1 – FG
9. P6, R1 – FG
10. P5, R2 – punt
11. P2, R1 – punt
12. P1, R2 – FG
It should be noted that they managed to score FGs on both drives that were run heavy. They also managed to score a TD on one of the two drives that featured no runs at all. In truth, those two are pretty much a wash. Two drives either way. 6 and 7 points respectfully. There’s not much to look at in terms of a range, as only half of the drives extend beyond 5 plays, which isn’t a good thing, when you’re only talking about 26 points scored. That said, the success of drives in general still gravitates towards a 50/50 split, just as it does on any given week.
You can toga party, but you can't toga fish.
In truth, those two are pretty much a wash. Two drives either way. 6 and 7 points respectfully.
Actually, the two FG drives could be of slightly greater value, as the TOP difference between 6 running plays and 6 passing plays may have conceivably prevented an additional Atlanta possession (read: scoring opportunity) in regulation. Hence, the inherent value of TOP. Of course, we needed that tangible PAT to extend the game as it is, so no telling.
You can toga party, but you can't toga fish.
Actually, no
A FG drive is worth a field-goal. And a missed field-goal drive is worth 0.
Why? Because points win games, not time of possession.
Pretty sure that’s in the rule book somewhere…

the run game looked to be relegated to a non-factor.. at least a non-positive one
The passing game was actually more of a non-positive factor, in terms of percentages. 16 of 45 passing plays went for 0 yards or less. 5 of 16 rushing plays went for 0 yards or less. Do the math.
You can toga party, but you can't toga fish.
after a couple of successful runs.. sitting at 2nd 9, inside the 20 we have a 3rd straight run that loses yards & sets up a failed 3rd down pass..
Please, allow me to dissect this BS. After a couple of successful runs, they were sitting at 2nd and 9? Based on this information alone, one must assume that the first down play on this series of downs was a one yard pass. Otherwise, you’re referring to a one yard run as a “successful” run, which is simply ludicrous. The biggest set back on a running play all game was 4 yards. If they failed to converted the first, this means that both the first and third down PASS plays COMBINED on this series netted 13 yards at best. You’re absolutely right. The stuff certainly contributed to the failed drive. But so did the 6.5 or less YPA by Brees.

Just a tip
Maybe change your profile pic to this when you are being serious. We would be able to tell much easier.
I like Hamburgers!
Good point.

Jesus Christ. This is why I barely post here outside of gameday threads.
trapped in grammar and calendars.
seriously, game day threads?
I’ ll take this clot baiting any time over the bi-polar* loons that turn up on game day.
*should probably say schizophrenic but not sure about the spelling.
That could`ve been me,a useless gnome* fishing

Yeah, gameday threads can be marred by FIRE GREGG CUT BREES I HATE MYSELF, but more often than not they at least progress without personal insults and there’s some small sense of camaraderie remaining.

FUMBLE! OUR BALL! OUR BALL! YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS! NOW PASS PASS PASS AND WE’RE RIGHT BACK IN THIS THING!
You can toga party, but you can't toga fish.
Which may accurately apply to one game per season in hindsight.

Hysterical, outside of the fact that I’ve never participated in a game thread. :D

Not to mention, anyone typing that would be on point far more often than once per season.

Can someone please explain to me why nobody can spell the word “more”?

That meme should hit Montana in 2012 or so.

K….what’s a meme?….a more gender specific form of memo?
Is our civilization seriously letting four year old children dictate our language use?

meme - Noun:
1. An element of a culture or behavior that may be passed from one individual to another by nongenetic means, esp. imitation.
2. An image, video, etc. that is passed electronically from one Internet user to another.
2. An image, video, etc. that is passed electronically from one Internet user to another.
By this definition, everything on YouTube qualifies as a meme. So do all our profile pics. I suggest that you burn that online dictionary of yours.

Last I looked, an image or video that is passed electronically from one internet user to another….is called an image or a video.
Additionally, an element of culture or behavior that may be passed from one individual to another by non-genetic means…is generally referred to as a piece of history or historical data.
No need for people to create new words when others already exist to express those thoughts and ideas quite clearly.
Here’s something for all those computer programmers out there. An ! is not called a “bang”. It is called a damn exclamation point.
Note this is not a beef with you by any means Dan…thanks for the info. The beef is with the ridiculousness of the info.
-Lombardi was wrong...it's the internet, not fatigue that makes cowards of us all. But then again, what do you expect. Not like the guy could see the future.
2 : a pervasive thought or thought pattern that replicates itself via cultural means;
e. g., “GAAA!!!” and “TUSK!!!” Oh there I go with my big head again.

I hate “meme” and I’m probably not using it correctly (not an uncommon error, I think). I was just showing off,
trying to impress FriarBob with my intellectual prowess.

Fun…went through two bags of popcorn reading this stuff. I’d treat you to some skyline there CP…but payday isn’t until Thursday.

I ordered take-out and invited over a couple of friends….we’ve been making prop bets on this sh**.

By passing the ball a helluva lot more than running the ball this game
and by losing the TOP battle, we won this game and are now a game and a half lead in the division. Imagine that.

LOL great post, tommy. Don’t forget Kasay’s missed FG. That was a contributing factor to this victory, also.
