Jimmy the Greek! All eyes on him now, hope he comes back...even though he already did his job, winning 2 out of the 4. Nice if he sticks around here, but he's likely to get a job somewhere soon...Coach B's got to be impressed tho, if Tommy gets another ring...who knows..:biggrin:

Ya know being a bilichick LOVAH......i am always SHOCKED at how good he is at keeping a stud at the Qb position. IMHO new england should be kissing parcells and bilichicks asses because without them at the helm youd still be less than what you are today, i Truly believe that. I cant help but keep an eye on the damn patriots, NESN and im a boston bruins fan so yeah i guess i got alil pat love in here.....somewhere.

Garappolo might be suiting up for Da Bears next year; he's from the chicago burbs, and the bears will be willing to trade for him and will finally be able to ditch cutler to the curb.

Too bad garappolo wont be bringing Gronkowski and belichick with him, wherever he signs next year.

Or, if the Bears dont want to give up draft picks and big $ to sign garappolo next year, they can use their top five pick in 2017 to get Deshone Kizer or Deshaun Watson. Maybe Chad Kelly (nephew of Jim) from Ole Miss or that guy Brad Kaaya from the U...

In other news, a Nevada committee approved 750M in a new hotel tax to go towards building a new stadium for the raiders; now the governor, the state legislature and the nfl owners have to approve the deal to clear the way for the Las Vegas Raiders.

Las vegas raiders huh? Owned by the fertitta's or a mexican conglomerate i assume eh? Just joshin' ha ha ha, I'm not gonna jinx my team but were 2-0, victor cruz is catching the ball which (in all honestly i thought he was done for) AMAZES me because ive had both knees worked on from my early years of hiking mount marcy in northern new york and telemarking down the bitch that those recoveries are epic work to undertake to get yourself back to playing ability or what feels like playing ability. I am still a firm believer though that once a ball and joint socket or hinge socket gets damaged enough no man made medicine/treatment will be able to bring it back to its former ability, hope that made sense. I havent smoked in a longtime and i wont lie im not thinking clearly because of it lol. Btw i actually like bababooey on sterns show, when they had that vermont guy it is it is, wtf was his name again?

BIGFOOT!!!!

WELLL,,,,,,,
What can i say right? Eli choked! HARD! In all fairness though washington was playing for their season. Cousins looked GREAT under pressure, on my teams note getting these STUPID f--king penalties under control would be nice. Mcadoo is calling BRILLIANT plays...its time for the boys to step up---dewayne M-THFUC--G HARRIS for president!

Actually, the stadium will be owned by Mark Davis (team owner) and Sheldon Adelson, owner of the Las Vegas Sands. So not the Fertitta's (Italian) or Mexican mafia, just the Jewish mafia.

I didn't realize bigfoot is from vermont. I guess when your state is best know for maple syrup, you takes what you can gets, Vermonstah.
Must be lonely to be a Giants fan up in Patriots country, huh? But at least you can talk isht about 2007 and 2011, huh?


Dwayne Harris made a nice fumble recovery as a gunner on special teams, but did you see his missed tackle?:

Well, my Bears crapped the bed again in another prime time game, losing to another rookie QB in the process. So, we're one of four 0-3 teams (saints, jags, browns) and still in line for a top 5 pick in the 2017 draft. Plus, Quitler (see what i did there?) hurt his widdle thumb and now we get to see a real QB, or a reasonable facsimile of one, in Hoyer lead this team for the next few games, hopefully...

I didnt see his missed tackle actually! I was just shocked to see him perform so well for us after his career w gb etc. I am blessed in that lots of giants fans live up here! Langford went down too, had him on my fantasy squad..........rebuild time in chicago!

Well, some players need time to get better and faster/stronger (or 'roids) to where they can contribute on the field.
What do you think of Orleans Darkwa now that jennings has a broken thumb and vereen tore his triceps and is out for the season? Is darkwa going to be a #1 back? But the giants are a passing team, with the Odell, Sterling working outside and Cruz working the slot. I watched darkwa play last year, he's not bad but not a game changer. Unless he gets a whole lot better...

I had langford too in a league, not that i really wanted him but he was a low round pick and decided why not. I picked up jordan howard later that draft and am glad i did. Hes bigger than langford, maybe can break more tackles, get more YAC.
Bears have been rebuilding for the last 5 years (and rebuilding for more than 20 out of the last 30 years) and the results look like theyre still about the same or worse. Dont know if people will get fired if their record doesnt start to get semi respectable and even if you cleaned house, doesnt that just set back everything further? I dont want chicago to become the browns of the mid... well, lake michigan (instead of lake erie) but theres not much to look forward to this season except free agency and the draft next year. Oh and finally waving bye bye to cutler, who just to spite chicago fans will sign somewhere on a reasonable deal and starts keeping his turnovers under control and starts winning a lot of games.
Oh who am i kidding? Cutler's going to hold a clipboard for the rest of his career in the nfl after he leaves chicago. He is what he is at this point and that's someone you dont want to rely on leading your team to any sort of long term success.

I think we have bobby rainey behind orleans and a rookie i have forgotten the name of lol. I am honestly not impressed with orleans even remotely. I hate how hard it is for us to find a gem in the backfield, i digress i wanted phillip rivers instead of eli, looked how it turned out! I actually think mcadoo will run alil more as the season progress's, imho it keeps d honest or more honest when they fear your backfield.
I cant believe your so calm after this yrs start for da bears! Then again you seem pretty intelligent and grounded so ill rage for ya if the giants blow another game like last weekend! Big ben would look good in chicago.........

Btw, id like to see your shroom grow please. Says i dont have permission, i took mycology in school and have thrown a few spores into monotubs with some success. Golden teachers and cubes from alabama cow patties!

Sorry, I can't find my mushroom grow either. Maybe they finally deleted it. I think this forum wants to concentrate on cannabis, not shrooms or other substances. :shucks:

Picking shrooms from cow dung; one of those things you always hear about, but seldom get a chance to do.
So long as you give them a good wash (and make absolutely sure they're what you think they are, if not cubes or golden teachers then at least not poisonous) it's like free money.
If you can pick them for free why grow them? Just to put your education to use, see if you can do it? Well, so long as you avoid contaminations (green and black mold, had some of that in my grow, that was my biggest problem but half the jars turned out all right) you should be successful.

I have no choice but to be calm about the Bears prospects (or lack thereof) this season; if i got worked up over every loss i would shorten my lifespan by half because of the stress.
Or maybe ive just given up, lol. :cry:
It's like, wake me up in 10 years when the bears are good again...

Yeah Orleans Darkwa, despite having a somewhat cool name (like a comic book character's secret identity name) looks like just another dude out there. Gets what's blocked, not more than that, and you're just happy he holds onto the ball when brought down.

When you said bobby rainey, i thought you meant chris rainey, who was a good RB for the florida gators and also fast enough to run track in college. But i guess those two arent even related, and bobby, again, looks like just another replacement level player. but maybe if he gets more opportunities he'll surprise people with good production, anything's possible...

So far the Giants have called 107 pass attempts through 3 games so far, tied with Chicago and Tenn for #18 in the league. They have 77 rush attempts through 3 games, which is #14 in the league. So theyre passing on 58% of their offensive snaps, which is about league average or lower (think 60% or little higher is league average).

I think % of rushing attempts is influenced mostly by whether you have a lead or are playing catch up and have to throw the ball more. Unfortunately the giants havent had a rushing game that was a major weapon since Ahmad Bradshaw and Brandon Jacobs. Thunder and Lightening is often used to describe two backs who rotate carries, one small and fast who makes people miss the other big and strong who breaks tackles, but Bradshaw and Jacobs actually lived up to the name for a few seasons...

as far as rivers or eli in NY, both qbs would have thrived in that system
rivers could ahve had a shot at a ring if we had only kept marty around, but lets not let winning football games interfere with owners and their egos
with the current line up of big play recievers in NY i think rivers would actually be do better than eli is

right now the NFL is just not a run league
game situation will influence your play calling but im thinking in terms of overall roster value
of course elliott was drafted 4rth (and is so far legit) but jerrah got all kinds of flack for drafting a rb that high
in the top three rounds of 2016 only four rb were drafted at all
i love the ground game and grew up on a steady diet of sweetness and bo'knows
but it just seems its a pass first league and thats what the fans and OC's want

looks like an exciting weekend of football coming up
still feeling out whos who, but a lotta teams need to get that W' to go 2-2
/1-3 starts and you are pretty much playing for the draft

rest up boys, early game starts at 6.30a west coast time

I am really starting to embrace this thread, Its been along time since ive shot the shit with a group of guys I KNOW id get along with in person unequiv, my spelling there would have been questioned! lol. Mono tubs are what those are called, in my pictures above, I actually tried to re-establish some spores back into the patties i had back there. I have a buddy in mississippi on a beef farm that keep the cubes ever present..........so far so good.

I gotta smoke a bowl here before i start jabbin about tonights game against those studs on D in minnesota. I would really love to see shades of early aaron rodgers type drives down the field when mcadoo coached them, but I'm getting the impression that we arent gonna stay penalty free AGAIN! Our backfield is a mess and ya give a defense like minne a one tiered offense and your asking for a rough nite, esp when they know pressuring eli can result in a turnover. Maybe i should focus on pittsburgh this year lmao just kidding, ill roll with the punches, and never break my television over a football game like that tennesee volunteers fan did this weekend . lmao only to miss his team comeback!

Texans came back from their bye week with a win against the former Oilers. Might as well been a bye week when you get shut out.

I enjoyed watching Belichik trying to smash his tablet while his team gets shutout. Ain't so fun puttin' up a big fat 0 on the scoreboard now is it Bill?

3-1 is looking pretty good in the AFC South.
