The Porcine Oddyssey #99: Bills @ Dolphins, The Face of Poultry Vengeance
A Family of Bills fans gathers around a television set.
Bills Papa: Come on kids its almost on.
Bills Son: Its great that we are all here except for Mama.
Bills Papa: Well we had to sell her organs to make a little money, rest her soul…
Bills Daughter: Shut up, its about to start!
Bills Papa: Cooking with Buffalo Sauce is the best show ever.
Bills Son: Yep…Buffalo wings, Buffalo Sandwich, Buffalo Pie, Buffalo Soup…
Bills Daughter: Shhhh…I didn’t take time off from the massage parlor to hear you two talk!
On the TV Set a chef stands in front a kitchen.
The Chef: Today we are making a classic..Buffalo Wings! For this recipe you will need cayenne pepper, butter, white wine vinegar, garlic salt, foot powder, and of course chicken.
.
Bills Son: Did he say foot powder?
Bills Papa: Yeah…um…foot powder…
Bills Son: But that isn’t in the traditional recipe
Bills Papa: Well son, things have changed since Rex Ryan is here in Buffalo. Look at what we did to the logo!
Bills Son: I guess so.
Bills Daughter: Shhhhh….I took time off work to watch this…I could be making a $4 tip giving a happy ending instead!
The Chef: Take the garlic salt, cayenne pepper, foot powder and the vinegar and put it in the mixing bowl…then get your chick…hey where is the chicken….
hmmmm…
Come closer…
The Camera Zooms in
The Chef: Come a little closer
The Camera Zooms a little more in
The Chef: A little more
The Camera Zooms closer
The Chef: I have a message for Buffalo…you are all going to lose…look deep into the face of the poultry who is going to do it…well okay, it won’t be a chicken who beats you…
IT WILL BE THE DOLPHINS!!!
Flames begin to cover the set of the cooking show.
The Chef: I will just burn you all! For the Chickens!!!
Flames surround the home of the Buffalo Family
The Chef: Hah Hah Hah Hah (laughing hysterically) Cameron Wake will sack Tryod Taylor
The Chef: Olivier Vernon will sack Tyrod Taylor
The Chef: Then Jordan Phillips! Then SUH!
The House Burns Down
On that Day:
Many Bills Fans Died
Many Chickens Lived Another Day
Many Feet Were Coveted

Not First!
SO ARMANDO SALGUERO says Fox and Dallas Thomas are having really bad seasons so far. –I’m shocked, I TELL YOU I’M SHOCKED, to learn that, once again, Miami’s Offensive Line is, well, OFFENSIVE!! – – The utter inability of the Ross-Tannenbaum-Philbin trifecta to produce EVEN AN AVERAGE NFL OFFENSIVE LINE will be Miami’s undoing this season. And THAT’S something ME, MIKE E., MISS GIGI, and several others on this board were afraid of BEFORE we played our first regular season game. Now I realize that criticizing the greatest owner, the greatest assistant to the owner, and the greatest coach in Dolphins’ history WILL BRING MASSIVE CRITICISM from the “Defenders of the New Trifecta.” But THE TRUTH IS these 3 Stooges of the NFL couldn’t produce a legitimate Super Bowl contender if their lives depended on it!!!
—————————-
Love the Billsfeet logo! Aslo excellent Piggyshopping the Tyrod Taylor, Vernon, Wake and Suh pic as well.
HOWIE-HOWIE-HOWIE; 31-24 BUF. Some Dolphins will PLAY THEIR HEARTS OUT in this game. But some WON’T/CAN’T. Tanny will be running for his life!! –And Buffalo’s superior conditioning will pay off in the 4th quarter as Philbin’s poor choices cause the Fins to blow another lead. SURE HOPE I’m wrong!!

This QB was seriously hurt last night and is in the hospital today
I guess he started the slide a half sec late?
Howie
How come on your list, it still says Piggy, and not Fart? 🙂
LMAO at Piggy. Nice job once again.
LOL @ Piggy.
Go Phins!!! Go Sam!!!
Any news on Sam?
He was moved out of ICU and into a private room which is better for the family. But he’s still in a coma.
Bizarre as usual, Pigmeister! 🐓🐔🐣🐤🐥🍗
Tim
Yeah, the private room is better without a doubt, but coming out of the coma would be the best. Keep hoping!
That’s the news we’re all hoping for. Thanks.
Way to go Piggs! Feet er a Beat Buffalo!
Go Sam!!!
Damn OD bailed before the bye week, wow.
I think it’s more about the “tweaking” going back and forth than the real state of the team.
We have a “tweaking” situation going on now folks please be advised
Go Sam Go!
Good to hear about Sam. Even not out if the coma that’s a really good sign. It means he’s stable enough not to be closely guarded by nursing staff, and yeah its going to mean more accessible to family which is going to help. He will know they are there too no matter. Coma also shouldn’t always be looked at like a bad thing. They medically induce comas to help the body stay in a deep self healing state, so while he is in it he us healing faster. Seems like great news to me. Hope the miracle continues. Strong kid.
Thanks man and that’s exactly what they did. The hope is that he’s young and a healthy athlete so his chances for recovery would be better than an older unhealthy person.
Next Tuesday will be the final installment of “Following Perfection” the Super Bowl edition. That will be the end of both series – Absolute Perfection and Following Perfection. Thanks OD.
Tuesday will then be available if anyone would like to submit anything (to not be read).
I think you should require for to write something for Tuesdays- something like “Sofa Talk with FFR”.
*require FFR
LOL @ Son
Thank you all for the kind words and support. Sam would thank you if he could. He’s a great kid, always smiling and very polite and positive.
We’ll take him up on that, Once he recovers we would like a special guest appearance by Sam on the blog!
Go Sam! You got this!
Best wishes, thoughts and prayers for Sam
Tim
Is Sam a Dolphins fan?
Not sure if he even follows team sports. He’s a skier and in-line skater so he’s probably more into following that stuff. His Dad’s not a big sports fan so he never passed that down. They’re into being out in the wilderness.
did you ever get my email from mike e?
I hear that. A lot of young kids today aren’t sports fans, my own kids included.
Try, Now that would be a scary thing to open at work
Nice job piggy.
NFL.com has tyrod tyler as a higher fantasy QB than tanny this weekend. They must not trust our o-line.
Or our defense
our defense hasn’t been good when playing mobile QBs.
Actually our defense hasn’t been good playing any ole QB. They made bortles and cousin look like probowlers.
Or they really like the Bills defense.
I decided to start Cam Newton vs. NOLA over Tannehill.
He had 3 TD and 3 Int last week
In fantasy world, he value of the 3 TD is worth more thAn 1 or 2 TD and 0 ints
And even though the bills have played poor defense, I guess people still have faith (and should as ours) in that defense
I can see Taylor having better fantasy numbers than Tanny
That’s not exactly better football
We will see
Boulder, no I didn’t receive it.
brutus9448 @ hotmail.com
Got it, check your mail.
Mike E, yeah and Sam is so busy training he has no time to follow sports teams. He’s always on the move.
Understood
Ken
I’m playing Cam this weekend as well.
It’s not that I think Tannehill will do poorly it’s just based on the matchup. Buffalo has a tough D and NOLA’s D is in shambles right now.
And face it, Cam is Cam
Boulder, Cousins didn’t play all that well against us. 68.8 QB rating, 2 picks and no points in the 2nd half and 10 overall. The Skins running game gave us problems but Cousins couldn’t take advantage of it.
Cousins did not look good last night. He had a very good game vs. Rams but he was mediocre against us and less than that vs. Giants.
I don’t think he’s that good. At least at this point in his career he’s not.
yea I forgot about his INTs. But they did move the ball well. Even last night I thought cousins played ok. But QBs that don’t take care of the ball are a dime a dozen.
That’s his problem, way too many picks.
“Sofa Talk with FFR”.
i would but it would be nothing but a bunch of groans, grunts and other sounds that would get most of you fired at work.
Tim,
Thanks for the links. Amazing kid. Go Sam!

Branden Albert is doing scout team work, which hints that Jason Fox will be starting at left tackle for his first game as a Dolphin.
It’s not his first game as a Dolphin, it’s his first start as a Dolphin.
3 step drop and quick passes is the way to beat this
Armando Salguero @ArmandoSalguero
LG Dallas Thomas has struggled with his pass blocking, giving up 2 sacks, 1 QB hit, and 5 hurries in 125 snaps per PFF.
Armando Salguero @ArmandoSalguero
Backup LT Jason Fox struggled in replacing Albert. DE Jared Odrick won that matchup.
—————————————————-
On of the sacks they are crediting him for though, and ill have to go back and look at the second one, was not on him. He had his defender sealed out and Tanny had to move up in the pocket to avoid the pressure from the DE coming around from the back. DE actually got his hands on him, Tanny moved forward right into Thomas’ clock who was by this time starting to beat him and Thomas turned him inside which was the side that Tanny ran to. Crediting him for that sack is stupid, he held his block well for well past what can be expected for the OL on passign plays. Id say he did give a bit of ground so he didnt keep a great line on the front of the pocket, but he clearly was not responsible for that sack. That should have been credited to Fox. Same play Douglas also was being pushed back, so had Tanny tried to slip out that way, PFF likely credits the sack to him, which again would be wrong.
Both OG’s have struggled, but they havent been the entire problem.. Unit as a whol have not played well, Fox has been really bad, James also hasnt been particularly sharp. Pouncey has been pretty solid, but if i had to rank with -3,+3 kinda of scoring, it would be Fox -3, Douglas/Thomas -1, James +1 and Pouncey +2. We are hurting bad at LT. Even when Albert was in too he looked to play apprehensively.
Unfortunately the OL is going to take time. Albert is still dealing with issues, the guards are young and even James is just a second year player.
Bill Polian recently said OL is a league wide problem because the CBA doesn’t allow these guys to get the work they need in camp. They have to get it in limited snaps in the PS and then the RS.
I think Cousins is much like any of these journeymen QB’s he can look great but he cant hold the consistency through every game. Id give him more credit for having time to perfect that, espeically since he hasnt really been given full rights to settle in s starter, but at this point, he looks like he may end up being like Fitz.
Alain Poupart @apoupartFins
Do not see TE Dion Sims in portion of practice open to media. DT Earl Mitchell is here.
I wouldt rush Sims back, that was a pretty scary injury. I dont see how he could be 100% yet. I expect Mitchell to play, but i also think Phillips or Fracis are adequate fill ins.
Interesting about brady suspension.
http://news.yahoo.com/nfl-source-tom-brady-serve-131628730.html
I ain’t buying it. Getting to a federal court of appeal hearing and then judgment takes much longer than that through the normal process. Yes they can expedite in cases of emergency, but what is the emergency here? Don’t think whether — if the NFL wins — that Brady serve his suspension this season rather than in the next is gonna work with the court.
I agree. I doubt anything will happen until 2016 season. But still its interesting that the NFL doesn’t think that.
With Fox starting id chip his blocker with the RB. He seems to do well with the power rushers, but not so much with the speed moves. Chipping with the Rb will help him with that. Problem with using the back to chip the DE is that we would need to recognize any middle blitzes and call that off if we see them showing one, otherwise with Pouncey helping with an inside rusher and/or looking for twist plays we could wind up with not enough to cover the blitz, and you know thats going to be Rex’s plan. We may need to do some roll outs or mover the center of the pocket to get out of those situations as well as run screens and draws to burn them a few times on it. Im still not sure why they arent looking at Turner for LT, i really think he would man it better than Fox.

Unfortunately the OL is going to take time.
yeah, i would say 4 years is long enough
it seems like we’be been having oline issues for a decade or more. Maybe we shouldn’t hire these oline gurus as HCs. Hire someone that knows nothing about oline. Maybe that ‘ll fix it 🙂
Like Sparano….!!!! pretty sure you were leading us that way lol.
Man Pig — nothing like some Buffalo love. 🙂
Always thought you trotters and the cluckers were competitors, trying to get us to eat the other…….but guess you have joined forces. Another sign the uprising is coming.
When you want pork, chicken wont cut it. Beff is the substitute for Pork…. only a juicy thick steak has the power to turn your mind from those delicious BBQ ribs.
Beef too….
How about Bison? 🙂
The OL was just revamped in 2014 and the guys in power now were not here before that. You might not like that it’s still a work in progress but Ireland fucked it up in 2013. Pouncey is the only starter left from 2013. That’s just the reality.
I know. I guess, as fans, we’ve just been through a lot of revamps
Yep!

yeah, it has been a while but i was just going to stick with the philbin era.
that fat fuck blow hard even used a #1 overall pick on trying to fix the oline and that didnt work out.
tim,
that is the thing about being a fan. we dont go thru regime changes or have time lines of things being a fan. no matter who is in charge we are a fan, so when i say the o line has sucked for a decade as a fan it is a decade, not broken down by different regimes.
I hear ya. We were almost there in 09/10 but then both Smiley and Grove got hurt and that pretty much sent us into a tailspin.
All I’m saying about our current OL is I understand where they’re at due to the 2013 bullygate situation and lack of depth. Hickey had to spend his first season focused on the OL and that’s why he signed Albert and drafted James and Turner. We then had to revisit it some this offseason.
IT just seems like there are a lot of penalties this year. Even last night I thought the refs had too much to do with the outcome of that game
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly now3 seconds ago
“We went blow by blow through each penalty and what the end result was,” Philbin said of his team’s eye-opening, out of character penalties
Yeah and it’s ruining the game.

yep, i have been saying this for weeks now. both pro and college. tim mentioned it too. it just seems like the refs had some super secret triple undercover meeting and decided to make themselves known each game this year
Penalties have really fucked us. Some were questionable, others werent. Some were calls i watched them not call on the other team, but ultimately we have had a lot fo penalties and most happen at the worst times. I know Vernon’s wasnt only reason we lost, but you have to admit, we had them held and they were at best at the very edge of field goal range until that penalty. After ti they were in perfect spot and had every chance int he world of turning it into more. It was the ultimate fuck job penalty of either game we have played. Previous to that both Turner and James fucked us on some huge plays, James more than once. Its been sloppy play. Ref’s havent been easy on us, especially in the Washington game, but we gotta do better in that department.
The problem is inconsistency of calls. One of James holding calls was something I’ve seen the pats o-line do all the time and never get called. I guess protecting marsha is way too important for the NFL.
It really does seem bias. When fans see this all the time there is something to it. It’s definitely not called consistently.
I agree, hell the opposing teams we are playing are blatantly holding as well, and they arent calling them. There definitely have been inconsistencies. Wake has been drug down from the side many times and not a fucking flag one.
D, it seems that every time we make a big play on either side of the ball it gets called back. It’s so disheartening within the game. I don’t how many times I threw my arms up in the air. I guess 18 times. LOL
Yeah mines was more like me screaming out O COME ON YOU MOTHER FUCKERS, NOT AGAIN!!
NFL = Numerous Flags League

How about Bison? 🙂
——————————————
Ive had it, its pretty tastey, but its pricey. Also, hangar steak, if you can find it….awesome. If you are cooking it yourself though, check the internet for preration techniques, because if you don’t tenderize and marinate it can wind up pretty chewy.
Bison is very lean right? I’ve seen Bison burgers but I’ve always been hesitant to order one because lean meat for burgers tends to be spongy or dry due to having little to no fat.
Its much better than ground pork or turkey that way. Its not far off of beef, and you can prep it using egg or a little bread crumbs to hold the fat in and compensate.
D, good advice on Bison being treated like a meatloaf to moisten it up. We use ground turkey for tacos and burritos all the time but we mix in spices and sauces, peppers and onions for burritos which moistens it up.
Ground Turkey makes an awesome meatloaf btw.
I make one with peppers and onions and stuff mixed in and a balsamic blaze and its rockstar.
glaze
We’ve done that a couple of times. My wife adds caramelized onions and shredded carrots to it besides the egg and some other spices. Also BBQ sauce in the mix and then to baste it. It’s really good.
LOL @ balsamic blaze. I like that. 🙂
Jive Turkey makes a great meatloaf, and you can dance while you eat it.
How do you make it jive, talk to it?
LOL – That makes 2 “Airplane” references in 2 days
Probably because the team is playing like it’s on autopilot.
Mike, what was the other Airplane reference?
In yesterdays Ask Mike – The leaflet of Famous Jewish Athletes
I don’t remember that part.
Just back one article, I can’t copy and paste it at work
LOL @ Boy’s Life and Nun’s Life. I forgot those scenes.

VIVA LA DEFLATEGATE!!!
I suspect the Boehner resignation will make some here happy… I was no fan, but I will say he had a nearly impossible job, his party being so fragmented and the internal polarization by the various factions.
Over the last 6 seasons the Dolphins are 8-23 in the month of September.
The Herd
I misheard- Miami won 8 of the last 23 in the month of September.
I don’t think that’s accurate because they’re 7-7 during the Philbin era including this year.
8 of the last 23 in September, would make them 8-15, right?
Will have to wait until I’m in front of a pc to check.. can not do it on the phone.
We did lose our first 7 games in 2011.
I like to think I’m not particularly racist. Heck…..I’m even in a “mixed-marriage” but maybe not the right kind to know as much about what happens in the Redskins front office than Chris Rock. I’m sure he follows football more than me though…..how else could he know?
—————————–
Chris Rock ✔ @chrisrock
I don’t know what’s more racist . There logo or there treatment of RG3
10:34 PM – 24 Sep 2015
RGIII has nothing to do with racism.
Yeah, this sounds like an irresponsible statement/comparison.
I think the idea is that there is a belief that when evaluating RG3’s talent there is a double standard
I think its an oversimplification b/c it does not factor in to the financial and coaching philosophy
but I do think RG3 was quickly and wrongfully discarded by the redksins
I mean he was rookie of the year a few years ago
more than anything else it just looks like the redksins are dysfunctional
I would have been more invested in RG3 than they are
RGIII got hurt, is not the same QB and alienates his teammates. It’s all on him.
I think the real issue is the impasse btw Gruden and RG3
not allt he other stuff we hear
Grduen just dones’t want to build his offense around RG#
This is where you lose me as it relates to Griffin. I think they’ve given him plenty of time to prove his worth, but the dude can’t stay healthy. How long do they have to keep putting him out there before they say enough is enough? I don’t know why they haven’t cut him, because if he gets hurt on their roster they owe him big time.
sam bradford gets hurts every season and he starts every year
Basically put your best QB out there and play him
if he gets hurt then go to the next guy
They can draft a another QB if RG3 is not the future but I donl;t think there is any question that right now RG3 is the best Qb on their roster
Agree with all that Pig…..but that’s at most bad judgment not racism — least as far as either you, I or Chris Rock knows. This is not like the only black guy in a firm getting treated badly…….like 60% of NFL players are back. Then you get the response to what like LeSean McCoy said in Philly…..”well then Kelly just doesn’t like the real African-American acting guys.” But RG3 is the poster boy for not being that.

you mean working in the front office and ruining what was once a great franchise on aan annual basis
Woohoo

You are the flying expert here!
I really think I need to add a recipe page on here. 🙂
today is the 1st recipe
I hope you guys like foot powder
Mike E’s pasta sauce.
Good idea. Most of us here probably like good food. LOL
lol on that link about brady still going to get suspended. i am sure he will
the nfl will agree to reduce it to two weeks then make sure the pats are 13-2 and have the division and home field advantage locked up and then suspend him for the last week of the regular season and the first week of the playoffs, the one the pats have a bye

ooppsss sorry piggy, i thought you were talking about the redskins not the fins.
Totally agree with Piggy’s 1:25 post on RG III. I too think Washington gave up on him 2 soon. He looked like a world beater as a rookie where he single handedly carried a rather mediocre team to the playoffs. He got injured, they rushed him back and got hurt again. He has not been the same player since but there is no reason to believe he can’t be a good QB again. Is really worse than Cousins or McCoy? Hell no. He has far more talent and ability than both of those guys. Maybe he doesn’t make it all the way back but it seems to me that the Redskins should have at least tried once more before turning to journeyman options.
I dont think they gave up on him Ken, not until he started doing some of the shit he did. His ego, and believing the kype put on him got in his way. He didnt give the NFL credit for being an elite set of players. He took them the first year, they bounced back and shut his ass down the second. He didnt want to put the effort towards getting better and started piling blame on others and he lost his teammates and coaches. I actually think they have given him a lot of chances to bounce back abut he keeps showing them, emotionally he is not ready to turn the corner on maturity, own his mistakes and work hard to improve. As a result he hasnt improved. He needssome time out of football to get his shit straight, or grow up really fast or he will be done.
RG3’s ego got in the way. I dont think the treatment of him is due to racism as much as it is having 0 way to get the guy to try to stay on the coaches gameplan.
RG3 seems to try to wing it, he goes off scrpt putting no trust in his teammates or the coaches to do the job as good as he feels he can taking it all on him. His ego and probably a fair amount of deep ceded personal desperation trying to live up to the hype is part of the issue. He had a perfect opportunity to admit his failures and push himself to regain trust through improvement. Instead he say “im the greatest QB in the league” while truthfully knowing he’s possible one of the worst at this point.
He needs to humble himself, accept his failures, and learn to depend on his teammates. They are pro’s as well and he doesnt show them any respect acting and playing like he cant count on them. He doesnt do this and he stays the mess he is. He as way too much talent to keep fucking himself the way he has for past few years. This is on him not the coaches and not poor play of the team, its on him and he needs to own that to get better.
Treatment of RG III racist? They gave up (3) 1st RD picks for the guy, but they’re racist now because he’s not starting? SHEESH!
People won’t accept he struggles on the field and struggles with durability and he’s not the best teammate.
Saying something is racist to cop out of your own responsibility for failure is a travesty and its why someone doesnt grow from their mistakes. Ownership of your issues is when you can stop change and move forward. Cop out like this is basically saying, oh its not me that needs to be worked on its everyone else.
Its not RG3 that said it was racist
it was some one else
Yeah you can’t put it on RG3……but the peanut gallery is always out there. Back in the day used to defend discrimination suits. Was an eye-opener on what racism/ageism/gender-bias could be blamed on when none was objectively apparent. But hey, least in those cases someone might have been trying to get paid rather than actually believing it.
Right Piggy but if he listens to it and believes it, its same outcome. Hopefully it is just Chris Rock
Was my mistake though, not seperating out what was Rock and what was RG3.
Piggy
I think Chris Rock is off base. This team made a HUGE investment in the guy. Maybe their decision making is incorrect, but maybe their intention is to not make it RG III the Superstar QB, and just get him to be RG III the QB, and maybe he’ll once again get back to his previous level of play.
D
You’re young, so it’s understandable you made that mistake
LOL, you know its hard for us to listen to our very much elders,,,,,
Bradford getting hurt and getting another chance, but he had to go to another team. I also think he had the last big signing bonus contract before the rookie wage scale went into effect, so KC was kinda obligated. RG123 has gone through like 3 coaches, hasn’t he? He had a great rookie year because they did not have experience against him. Once they got it he lost his advantage, and stays hurt. As far as racism, Bradford got chances, but so did Vick.
Bradford also had a non-tradeable contract, and one that would kill their cap whether he was on the team or cut. It made more sense to keep him and hope for the best.
Chip Kelly got rid of black players then signed and drafted other black players to replace them. Pure racism. LOL
And a Native American too….like the most outcast of all minoriy groups…. Chip probably got him so when he fucks him over next year he can kick him off the reservation and call it progress… 🙂
Now that sir, is clever !
I rushed the above because I wanted to get it posted while I still could remember what my thoughts were, and also while the conversation was still active (I saw Pigster’s response while sitting at a stoplight and couldn’t respond at that time!).
Oh right Bradford is Native American.
I am not necessarily of the opinion that the treatment of RGIII was racist but I think it was foolish to give up on him so soon especially when they lack a real viable alternative to replace him with.
In deference to the 2 barristers on the board, and with all due respect, I still don’t see how anyone can say they gave up too early.
He had a great rookie year and 2 bad years afterwards
This really went south for him when they brought in Jay Gruden
Gruden wants RG# to play in his scheme and that scheme isn;t great for RG3
Its kind of a toxic situation
I happen to think RG3 can still salvage a good NFL career
I rarely give up on players so I tend to be patient
but what leaves me scracthing my head with the redskins is how much they gave up to give up now
I probably would have just played RG3 and let him hit the FA market if he contionued his path
but instead basically the redskins are banking over Jay Gruden over RG3
What has Jay Gruden ever done to earn him that?
I think what is going on in Wash with RG3 this season goes on a lot places when a new coach doesn;t liek the teams star players
Maybe RG# was underachieving
I’m not saying make him a $100M QB
but at least let him play out his rookie contract after you gave up so much
what is the team getting out of Cousins that they would lose by playing RG3
the way they handled it is just dysfunction all around
Alot, because if he gets hurt this season they owe him a buttload they would otherwise not have to pay him.
On top of that, RG7-4 was more worried about his “brand” than he ever was becoming a good qb.
Completely agree with this.

In deference to the 2 barristers on the board, and with all due respect, I still don’t see how anyone can say they gave up too early.
come on dude. dont you know? every one on this blog knows way way way more about football then anyone who is actually getting paid to know football for a living.
I can guarantee you most people here know more than Omar….
If this blog never questioned anyone who is paid to know football for a living it would be blank

Sorta nice to live in the USA. A story from a few years ago hitting the news.
————————–
“In July 2010, the U.S. expressed it’s displeasure over Chinese missile tests in the East China Sea. Major missile tests are potentially provocative and destabilizing. America’s intent in the aftermath of the Chinese tests was to signal U.S. strength with just the right amount and kind of potential force.
The USS Michigan broke water in Pusan, South Korea, the USS Ohio in Subic Bay, and the USS Florida in the strategic Indian Ocean outpost of Diego Garcia almost simultaneously. Between them, the three submarines can carry 462 Tomahawks.
One veteran Asian military attaché, who keeps close ties with both Chinese and U.S. forces, noted that “460-odd Tomahawks is a huge amount of potential firepower in anybody’s language.”
in 2016 RG3 will be Somewhere other than Washington people will have moved on to 2nd guessing everything Jay Gruden does and wanting him out
I mean he is just the current whipping boy for a losing team right now
Who is, gruden or 24/8=?
I agree. Not sure RG III will salvage his career but I think he has a better chance of being a quality QB than Cousins does.
Huh, I didn’t know Bradford was native american.
At least partially.
the name bradford sounds native american to me 🙂
Yep, i think he is part Cherokee.

Have you guys seen the John McAfee (the founder of McAfee anti virus software) YouTube video on how to uninstall the damn thing? Its pretty hilarious, but for adults. If you want I can post it here.
RGJr.jr. is seen by most to be overrated. Let’s say Ken and piggy are right, and that he has not been given enough time. He still had not shown he can stay healthy, that he can stay in the pocket and not bolt every time his first read is covered, and that he takes football more seriously than his brand. I think if he was here, based on how we judge Tannehill (who by all accounts does none of those things, like an anti-rgiii) would be getting murdered by most here- I think even Ken and piggy.
I was anti-RG3 pre draft….knew his college game wasn’t going to translate to the Bigs.
Try
So you think Ken and Piggy are just being tolerant from afar?
I’m not sure- I don’t want to presume to speak for them. It just seems they see something in griffin that many don’t, and I wonder if they’d have the same tolerance if he were our qb. Of course, you may have referenced something ìn your question that I’m too obtuse to recognize. . 😕

What did you say? OBTUSE!!!!

Diego Garcia has been around a long time it serves as a supply and repair base for Indian Ocean deployments in the Indian Ocean. A a/c carrier carries only enough weapons for 3 days of flight operations sorties. Of course the small island carries enough weapons to end the world but they also process food supplies for the fleet so no terrorist can hit a fleet ship by poisoning replenishing food. Fuel for our older carriers and ships was processed through there.In my days in the Navy on carriers the pilots would fly there for a few days of R&R during long deployments. A pilot once told me the island is so small that if one spit into the wind and it was windy day your spit would end up on the other end of the island but he said the best part of the island is they had a bar and the fishing was great on the island base
Both informative and funny…….thanks JS.

Just look at what he did as a rookie. He was better than Luck. He completed around 70% of his passes and had a great TD to int ratio. Combine with his rushing he was incredible. You don’t just give up on that. The injury clearly has impacted his running so he does need to change his game and there are some maturity issues but you just don’t give up on that so easily. The other real problem was that he was grossly mishandled by the Redskins in terms of rushing him back and playing him when he was hurt.
One rookie season above average? I contend it was an anomaly, as it seems most do. I’m not looking at the numbers, so I don’t know how good he was comparatively. Rushing? I think we all agree when your qb leads your team in rushing/rushing attempts, you have a problem.
Alright. Time to get out of the office. I am out. Peace.

The thought of Jason Fox starting at left tackle against the Bills, and possibly the Jets when Albert turns his head while changing lanes and sustains a pinched nerve in his neck, is enough to make me cringe.
Fox needs to have his best A game for this season.
I wonder if he even saw that last night?
Try:
His season was not just above average. He was exceptional that season. He also did not lead his team in rushing, Alfred Morris did. He was a better rookie than Luck.
What about the talent he played against? What about teams not knowing how to game plan against him and note have figured him out? Hope about him getting in his own way? How about 2 coaches, one with a good record, getting fed up with him? You point out one plus, and there seem to be multiple negatives- respectfully.
