I don't watch the Pat's often but I had never before seen them drop that many passes. - JamesJMby JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
well, unless it's the Rams, of course. :spintoungeby JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
in that game... both O and D... could NOT understand the 3 man rush a few plays on that last drive. But the only call that truly had me scratching my head was at the end of regulation when they allowed the Pats one more possession instead of running the clock out... or forcing the Pats to burn some TO's. After their first down failure OT was pretty much inevitable. - JamesJMby JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
I mean, I get ya.... terrible gut wrenching loss.... and the tears will flow for days, maybe weeks... but if they have any character at all they're going to eventually say to themselves, "We had that game"..... they may collapse but then again, they may get mad, then get even. - JamesJMby JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
I don't like Kurt's record being broken either... hate it... BUT.... some of those final passes by Brady I thought to myself, "Only other QB that could have done that was Kurt".by JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
as the greatest team that has ever existed beat them. Yeah... here and there, questionable calls... but that goes both way, (Patriots first half).... It's not easy to say... and you vomit a bit in your mouth when you try.... but the Patriots are the greatest NFL team ever and 2nd place is so distant as to not be visible. - JamesJMby JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
but that doesn't sway me in the least. It was NOT Ryan.by JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
and it will for Bellichick and Brady.... but I think..... they win a couple more and then retire basically 'undefeated'. They can't be beat... and when the season comes when they might be beat... they step away beforehand. - JamesJMby JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
the no "Julio" thing is confusing.by JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
the defense lost that game.by JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
I don't like him but he's the greatest QB to ever play the game and he's not even CLOSE to being past his prime... play on Tom. I won't like it... but you earned it. Another thing.. I'm an old man... but I now share something with the very young generation, (in their 20's).... you and me will never see the Patriot's achievements topped in our lifetimes. Wellllll.... maybe, but it would takby JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
Our D that year was on the field a LOT.... seems to me. NOT because of 3 and Outs... but because our O struck so quickly that the D barely had time to get down one gatorade and wipe the sweat and blood from their brow before having to get back on the field. - JamesJMby JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
As a Ram's fan, like you and everyone else on this board, the lack of respect the '99 defense received(s) is something that irritates the heck out of me. For me, and I think a lot of us, the most important aspect of the '99 "D" was how opportunistic they were. Coming through in tough situations. And I think there is truth that even here, among Ram fans, not enough was said, or isby JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
which I didn't include... but many should be on the list. Top Cat, the Flintstones, it's a long list. - JamesJMby JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
Something about, was it 70%?, of NFL fans want the Patriots to lose. Other than that nada... haven't seen anything, read anything else... I've been busy. :beercan So I'm not sure if the two week hoopla around the SB is normal, below average, more than average... I just don't know. I'm pulling for Atlanta.. my guess is that most of you are doing the same. BUT... I'm certainly not all fiby JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
at least I don't think they were. This first one really surprises me that no one added it: Did I miss one of you posting this one next one? I ask because this is very much in the same genre/vein as Taxi... Barney Miller. And lastly, (for this post, I have a LOT more), you guys should be ashamed of yourselves for not including this one:by JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
Sorry Les... but I'm giggling my @## off over that one.by JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
met him this last weekend. Wellll, sort of - I shook his hand. Talked to Brenda.... not the same, unfortunately. :laughingby JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
and most of the shows... maybe all of them, I didn't see a few. To show you how long I've been away from TV... :laughing I think the last 'series' I watched somewhat religiously was The Rockford Files... loved it. I never saw Hillstreet Blues but I heard is was fantastic as well. Couple notable songs not mentioned yet... gonna wait and see if they show up and then add them later if neeby JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
Seems to me to really look into that would require a treatise of Encyclopedia Brittanica proportions. :laughing I would say this: I think coaches play a bigger role than I *think*, (don't know, just guessing) the consensus board opinion would be.by JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
I'm talking about your pre and early season prognostications. I'd have to say that you seem to have come closest in your top to bottom analysis for 2016. I was hoping you were wrong. :laughing Well, first steps... they've taken them. And like you I have hope... I don't see how the FO can't be questioning everything about the organization. - JamesJMby JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
You aren't going to endear yourself to us by telling us you won in Vegas... no one likes a winner.by JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
should anyone think that I feel my suggestion would ever be approved... tsk tsk. :laughingby JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
yet no, I stand by it. :spintounge I think my reason being I think there are cases when it's quite easily discernible if a penalty impacts a play or not... and I do not like an extraordinary great, talented, play being negated by something that had nothing to do with it's execution. If the line is 'grey', call it. Here, I'll offer you this... as compromise. :thumbsup If a holding is calleby JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
but here, among my friends, it's not the 'number' of flags as much as the occasional bias in using them... and also... I don't think anyone likes a flag for a penalty that had no effect on the play. i.e.: Holding a mile from the ball and of no consequence whatsoever.by JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
Most of all it's an excuse to go to Vegas. :laughingby JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
My granddaughter's cheerleading competition. We weren't happy that both events fell on the same day. My daughter was irate she had to miss Mason's game BUT... Kerman, and Tranquillity, people gathered in Vegas at the cheerleading competition and watched the game on the ESPN3 stream. We were also video chatting with them. Amazing what 'tech' can do these days. We watched my granddaughter's chby JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
A lot of people in our small town donated to help Mason make his dream come true.... Mason wrote all their names on the cleats for the game.by JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
Shook his hand, however. Kurt didn't come to either practice, and he was only in attendance for the first half of the game. When he entered the coliseum he came from behind me so I didn't see him coming, I was in the aisle seat. There was an aisle in front of me as well... when he made the turn I spotted him, held out my hand and shook his. Kurt's son and my grandson Mason were in the samby JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
