    Default Hair of the Dog; the Ramblings of a Drunken Idiot (Still better than all U29's threads)

    Hola, and salutations.


    Be calm, my peoples. We're alright. Still two games over .500, and a half game out of first. Sure it sucks to lose two in a row,but we were up against it tonight. Short week, on the road with an interim coach, coming off a loss that was demoralizing even without losing our coach on top of it. And against a desperate division rival, which is a dicey proposition at best.


    Oh yeah. . . we also started a QB who was raw in all senses of the word: both his shoulder and his skill set.

    And Mike McCoy still almost cried on the sidelines on public television.


    Good for them, they finally won one. . . they only beat 30 million to one odds to lose the last four-out-of-five, I guess it's fair to say they were due.


    And it's not like I like a loss, of course. . . but I love the fact that our guys played through the end of the game. We need to find some semblance of a run game-- and Wade needs to mix in a couple zones here and there to protect our ILBs against those short crosses. It's okay. Our staff are pros, they'll figure it out.



    Beyond that, I have one more point right now.

    Tonight was one game, and we didn't win it. But personally, I still saw a major big picture win for the organization. It clearly was warm and humid out there-- nasty conditions for football. In an ugly game, where Denver's offense was clearly hopeless, Von Miller showed us a champion's heart.

    Oh yeah. Sacks are great-- they're the bigger part of what he gets paid for, as it should be in today's game. But his effort (and impact, on a generally bad night) against the run is what tells me that #58 is truly all in, and worth every penny.

    "Von Miller, once again! How many times have I said that tonight?"

    Hot and humid?

    I can assure you it's neither. I mean at all.

    Honestly, I think this is a .500 to maybe slightly above .500 team. If the Panthers make that FG we're 3-3 right now. Hate to be a debbie downer, but I don't think we re-create the magic of last season. 3 of our 4 wins are against awful teams this year in TB, Carolina, and Indy.

    Fortunately, we have 2 winnable games coming up hosting Houston then SD again. If we can win those and get to 6-2, I'll step off the ledge a bit. As of now, though, I could see this thing going in either direction.

    wasn't it?

    i didn't check the forecast or anything. . . looked like there were some guys cramping or limping off, i assumed it was humid at least. . .

    could just as well be short week, though. . .

    none of those teams are "awful," anymore than san diego was awful at 1-4. . .

    All 3 of those teams have been bad this year. Cincy is the one good team we have beaten.

    I do hope I'm wrong, but I don't see this being a team that makes a deep playoff run this year.

    I'm still satisfied with being Super Bowl champs though. I expected this to be a transitional year going into it, so at the end of the day if that happens I won't be too bummed out.

    Please save this post and mock me later in the year if I'm wrong though. I would happily eat this crow.

    Lies no drunk threads are better than mine.


    Btb- if McManus doesn't miss the Fg we probably win in OT. Then the safety, the 47 holding or false start penalties. We threw this game away from sloppiness. We aren't a sloppy team. Way better than .509
    The Plan at the moment:

    Draft: Trade a 3rd and 6th this year to a team to move up and get a 2nd next year (this will happen).

    Players I want:
    Jake Ferguson (Jake Butt) or Jelani Woods or Jeremy Ruckert or Cade Otten (owen daniels) at TE- All 4th rd or later.
    Troy Anderson LB 3rd/4th rd (yay Timmy!)
    Neil Farrell, JR DL- run stuffer- bye purcell

    Not so fast on the overheating not being an issue. ..Okung was rushed to hospital after the game with possible concussion symptoms made worse by overheating.
