ZooeyModeratorMiklasz to me is not a journalist. He’s a poster who gets paid. And I don’t have a problem with that. Sometimes he’s interesting. And, sure, he is often annoying. But I don’t expect anything more from him after all these years, and that’s just how I approach him. He’s just STLHomer with an Arch avatar. Ya know, cool.
October 25, 2015 at 12:17 pm in reply to: La Confora: Eagles unlikely to recoup pick from Rams from Sam Bradford trade #32881ZooeyModeratorI would like the Eagles to lose a lot. I would prefer it not be Bradford’s fault, though I could live with that, as long as he keeps playing.
Call me greedy. I want a high second round pick.
ZooeyModeratorYeah. Well. There is that.
The media is always eager to question the huge expense of some of those 5% wedges, but they have never in my lifetime questioned the single biggest wedge. Ever. It is a complete non-issue.
Actually, that’s not true. There was a bit of a stink in the 70s over the cost of toilet seats, as I recall. But since Reagan, there hasn’t been a peep on the subject.
October 23, 2015 at 1:44 am in reply to: as we prepare for the post-bye era: reporters preview the BROWNS game #32765ZooeyModeratorMcCown’s in his 13th season?
I get all these guys confused: McCown, McCoy, Macduff, Macbeth. I thought they all came in the league around three years ago.
ZooeyModeratorWow. Kaepernick has already surpassed 100 yards passing, and there is still more than a full quarter to go!
ZooeyModeratorI am looking forward to the Frisco games.
ZooeyModeratorI didn’t watch the debate, but I did just go look up the SNL bit. I figure that’s more or less the way it actually went.
My son is somewhat excited by Sanders, and I’d like to encourage the boy, but I can only think that even if Sanders won, it would still be Sanders and about 500 turds on the Hill. You know, about 50 of those turds think John Boner is too soft. We are doomed.
ZooeyModeratorHere’s where it get’s tricky.
I would have no problem eliminating all religious fundementalists. But what about “believers” in general? As long as the seed exists then isn’t the possibility of fundementalism taking root always present? Wouldn’t we want our new society to be based on reason rather than faith?I don’t think that would make any difference.
There is something about humans that resorts to tribalism no matter what. Dance team members think they are better than cheer, jocks think they are better than band, Rams fans think Raiders fans suck (no offense). If it wasn’t religion, it would be something else. Lord of the Flies, baby. If it wasn’t God, it would be haircuts, or freckles, or the way we cover our poop.
We’re doomed.
And right now, overpopulation is one of the major threats to our survival. And we can’t count on help from other countries. Just look at how irresponsible the Danes are.
ZooeyModeratorThe Browns will look back on this game as the one which…um…made their season…um….
Because they destroy…um…the…um so bad that…um…?

ZooeyModeratorYou know what would have been better than fining him?
Penalizing him 15 yards.
ZooeyModeratorHonestly, I think the $63 is just rubbing it in.
(Who comes up with these numbers?)
Bean counters. I swear to God. Somehow, somewhere, that fine makes a lot of sense to somebody.
ZooeyModeratorI think that’s it for me.
Thanks for trying, Rodger. Enjoy your next career.
ZooeyModeratorI said before the season started that I believe Fisher is safe through 2016. I mean concrete safe.
I do think the media is going to start talking about the Hot Seat though in reference to him if the record is mediocre or poor at the end of the year, barring injuries. I think 2016 could see a lot of impatience.
ZooeyModeratorWow. Hi, guys. Nice to feel missed.
I think you can assume that! We’re an old community and I think everyone in it means something to everyone else, and you’re a big part of all that. That’s my sense of it anyway.
I second that.
And also wish to state I miss California Tom. Pound for pound, no poster amused me more.
ZooeyModeratorI do not understand the indecision on Ogletree. I am guessing that they decided a week ago they aren’t going to IR him with designated to return. Because that is eight games, and if they are going that route, it would be better to start the countdown on the 8 games immediately. So they must be waiting for information to decide whether to IR him altogether, or leave him inactive until he is ready to go. But I am only speculating.
October 11, 2015 at 7:27 pm in reply to: Proud of the defense. Offense? Not so much… (game reaction thread) #32163ZooeyModeratorOn that last sack of Foles, Reynolds didn’t put a finger on Matthews who lined up on his left shoulder. I hope Saffold is back after the bye, and I hope Wichmann or someone gets it together soon because Reynolds is awful.
I am disappointed in the game, but not hugely. The defense did enough to win, and that’s good. The offense was terrible until they changed to a Gurley/Austin plan, and I can’t help but think that they should have used those two more from the beginning instead of trying for so long to move through the air. Once they started running, they moved the ball. Green Bay just shut down their passing game. Three missed FGs and a gift Pick-6, and that’s the ball game.
A week off, and then Cleveland and SF at home, and the Rams should be 4-3 and 3-0 in the division. I will gladly take that.
Here’s to Long and Saffold getting well.
October 11, 2015 at 5:39 pm in reply to: Proud of the defense. Offense? Not so much… (game reaction thread) #32158ZooeyModeratorHow about that fake punt? I called it right as 3rd down failed. Then the Packers shuffled around because they saw it coming. I think everybody in the stadium knew it was coming. And Hekker found a DB for a completion for a first down anyway on a nice rollout.
And at that point, Hekker had 50% as many yards passing as Foles.
Another thought. On one of those early sacks, Matthews (I think it was) stuck a helmet directly in Foles’ chest. No call.
I’m just not a Foles fan. He got beat up, and he’s tough and a gamer, but he just has accuracy problems. The tipped interception was thrown behind Kendricks, allowing the tip. And he missed a bunch of other throws, too. The Pick 6 looked like it might have been on Cook, though, who pulled up short on his crossing route.
I hate Cook. He is a talented, lazy, ass. The guy is tying up too much space for about 10 good catches a year.
ZooeyModeratorWestbrooks.
Hunh.
Hurt?
ZooeyModeratorIt could lead to some errant snaps.
I just wanted to say that Erran Snaps was my favorite bass player from the 70s funk era.
PA and I are trying to have a serious football conversation here.
ZooeyModeratorSee that first big Gurley run? The big one where Matthieu eventually runs him down?
Watch that, and notice the move Gurley makes at the 40 yard line. A defender comes diving at him from his left, and Gurley – still moving straight ahead with his upper body’s center of gravity stable – just neatly flicks his legs to the right so the defender fails to make contact.
Just a little – flick! – and on he goes full speed ahead.
That’s the kind of thing I’m seeing in Gurley. I haven’t seen enough of him yet to get a real picture of his running “personality,” but there is something there. Jackson, by contrast, wouldn’t have done that. He would either plowed straight ahead breaking the guy’s hand off in his spokes, or veered to the center of the field away from him.
We haven’t seen Dance Moves from him yet. He’s certainly no Barry Sanders, but he may have a bit of Faulk in him.
I really hope he has a good day today, because watching him run is fun.
ZooeyModeratorI want to say Donald because they are going to have their hands full with him. But Rodgers is a smart guy–I don’t see him moving anywhere but to the outside as much as possible–maybe even before the ball is snapped. So I will go with Quinn this week.
I have a feeling blitzing could be limited this week due to Rodgers quick release and mastery of the field.
Hmm.
So what yer sayin, PA, is that Rodgers might cleverly start running away from the rush even before the ball is snapped?
That is something I’d like to see. It could lead to some errant snaps.
ZooeyModeratorNiiiiiiice.
Happy Birthday, urinary guy.
ZooeyModeratorYou missed X’s birthday, too, btw.
#$$##@@%%%^%.
I need to get better at my birthday part of the job.
..
Maybe we could annually celebrate your awareness of that?
ZooeyModeratorYou missed X’s birthday, too, btw. It was Oct 3, I believe. Weirdly, I noticed JackPMiller’s name in the Forums section about a week ago, and I thought, “Hey, where is that guy?” and I clicked on that thread which was a birthday thread, and I saw X on Oct. 3. And I thought, “Hey, that’s this week.”
So.
More cake.
ZooeyModeratorAaron Donald gets the first sack.
But that’s just the FIRST series.
You’ve been eliminated from the game, and you’re lucky I don’t ban you from the board.
You have to play the game according to MY rules, or it’s going to get ugly for you.
ZooeyModeratorIs it the same net guy? Because…well…you know. Cuz you posted them. I mean, the irony holds either way, but more interesting if it’s the same guy.
Those are paraphrases, right? Not actual quotes? (I’m not doubting your ability to paraphrase. I think I maybe have just read too many essays).
October 9, 2015 at 12:50 pm in reply to: Wagoner: Rams defense willing to trade completions if it means fewer big plays #32023ZooeyModeratorAccurate, schmaccurate.
How accurate is he going to be with his facemask clogged with tundra?
ZooeyModeratorHappy Birthday, pal.
ZooeyModeratorHe has 48 TD passes and Zero interceptions in his last 19 games at Lambeau. That’s an average of 2.5 TD passes a game, and an average of…zero interceptions per game.
Nothing lasts forever, so the man is due.
I’m telling you. The Packers are due to lose a game at home, and the Rams are due to win two games in a row that they shouldn’t win. Rams 22-20.
