I'll be more then willing to give then credit when it's due just as I give them criticism now when it's due. This team has a ways to go before it can call itself a true contender in my flower shop.

That's fair. Hopefully we see the team make progress, so we don't need anymore of these type come from behind games.

Welcome! This is a good messageboard. It's nice to have a place to debate different ideas, without people hating on each other. The "football IQ" seems to be pretty high here too (at least I get 'schooled' here on a regular basis by the smarter folks ).

Well it's about time you found your way over here ya slacker! Welcome aboard!!! Not sure if you're going to do an all-out bail on the other site like I did, or just spread your wings a bit, but that doesn't matter, I think you'll like it here. There are some outstanding contributors on this site, and for the most part debates are held without the condescension and animosity that you have seen elsewhere. There will be an occasional pissing match, but it wouldn't really be a site worth visiting if we all agreed all the time.

For the sake of introduction to my brothers here, Anytime is an outstanding contributor that was always active and provided great insight on my "old" favorite site. I'm glad ya found us Bruh, and I hope you stick around. I can't speak for some of the others on here that joined the party (BearJim, Shark, Houston, JJ, etc.), some of whom may have been here before me, but if you give it a chance, I think you will like this place a lot.

Regardless, stick around and have a beer with us.

Sorry but I could not resist!

The god thing as I've said so many times is that on this board there are quite a few old gits, and not 15 years old bandwaggon kids with spots. Only the young dane, I get the impression I'm the youngest around here..

It's a thing of beauty to watch a great offense do this, to negate a great pass rush. It just guts a defense with surgical precision.

Then I watch the our Bears in similar situations. Jay camped out forever just waiting to get hit so he can fumble the ball away to the other team. It makes me crazy to watch this. This isn't rocket science. Hit the short percentage pass, or, if it's not available just throw the ball away to avoid those sacks/fumbles.

The heck of it is, those quick counter plays work. I just think it's a "Jay thing" where he wants to go deep to Marshall. Play after play. We have teams on our schedule coming up, who can take B.Marsh out, or at least make it very very difficult to use him like Jay has been doing. There needs to be some other options, or we'll see some more ugly play from this offense.

If you dont mind sharing, how old? Im 26 and i kind of felt like the kid of the board.

Hopefully we'll have a long playoff run and God willing, a Superbowl win to celebrate and chat about. I dont know if theyll do it, but damnit i like their chances this year. No better time than now!

26 years? You're a old git to me!
I'm 19, so you can imagine how I feel now and then.

A SB win would be really sweet indeed. If our offense starts putting more points on the board and play like they should I can't see a reason why we shouldn't be in the SB if we also assume no key injuries.
