The Beach Boys Christmas Album.

Jesus Christ. Why are we trying to find a problem where none exists? Aren't you the very person, DC, who wrote that having three excellent backs is a good issue to have? If one of them is injured, and the other two are doing more than enough, why is there a problem? Your answer to that is that McGahee is being paid to an extent that you demand some sort of fire and visible passion to play. Unless you're paying the bills, that's irrelevant. Secondarily, there's nothing hypocritical whatsoever regarding the performance on the team as it relates to McGahee being on the field. If what he's doing is helping the team enough to get wins, there is absolutely no problem. If what he's doing is preventing the team to be at its best, resulting in losses, then there is an issue. The question, then is whether what he's doing is helping or hurting the team. That's blown away quickly when it's discovered (as I hope it will be for you) that there is no argument for him hurting the team. He's simply not. If he's injured, he's getting healthy. If he's suiting up, he's giving the opposing team something to worry about while our other backs are doing the work. There is no evidence that he's sandbagging anything, so the argument that he is proves disgustingly absurd. This goes back to a simple desire to have the best that there is. You want a player who always wants the ball and always wants to help. However, you've taken one public statement that McGahee made--that he's satisfied with his teammates doing well while he rests up--and blown it totally out of correct proportion. The quote provides no evidence that he doesn't want to play, or that he's not injured, or that he doesn't care. This is a simple case of looking for a problem where none exists. Your application to The College of Mike Preston has been accepted. Welcome!

It's not even worth it to be concerned with the Colts anymore. Their schedule is cake, excluding the Titans game, so they've all but tied up a spot, especially considering New England's loss. I am concerned only with winning the division. If that isn't accomplished, let the wild card chips fall where they may.

That's why when we only carried two QBs (Flacco and Smith, etc), Clayton or someone is declared the emergency QB. That's not just a term. The only one that'd fool me is that you could do a fair catch kick after time expires on a fair catch. I think I'd have said that the game is over, too. DC's spot on with the assessment of McNabb. There is legitimate reason for all the hate, because it's a fairly common rule, and a tie-in to one of the most controversial differences between professional and college football; that is, the procedures of overtime. Anyone who's even picked up a game of Madden is bound to know, at the least, the overtime tie rule.

Are you trying to get a job with the Sun again or something?

Dallas will be much like Philly, with the addition of an excellent offense and the fanfare that is the last game at Texas Stadium. However, I have no concern whatsoever with that game when compared to the next two. A win over the Skins would be a landmark win against an all-around solid opponent, and the Pittsburgh game is the most important remaining, by far.

The all-black, that is. Harbaugh doesn't like the all-black look, so the pants will be white. I personally think it'll be hideous; I like the white jersey/black pants, but not this. Source is from the Sun's McGahee article: http://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/footbal...0,5069311.story

Burress suspended for the rest of the season, including playoff games. Antonio Pierce is being hounded by police for a cover-up. Ahmad Bradshaw isn't far behind. http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3738905

No way. Ben has a better matchup than Flacco.

I hope he declines. I like the man far too much to watch that happen.

Del Rio's about to get kicked out of Jacksonville. Singletary might not make it to next season with the 49ers. Rex is as valuable as ever, though. Oh, and Fassel might end up being Oakland's coach. :lol:

Since when is it our right to know who's injured? Besides that, don't you think hiding his injury works to our advantage? Teams spend time with film on McGahee, only to find that he won't even be playing. That's quite commonplace. It had nothing to do with strategy, so you don't have to argue that, either.

Folks here will tell you that it doesn't matter, that McGahee's paycheck means he should be performing. You are correct, however. Whatever the issue is, I don't have any problem with having it worked out while our other backs take care of business.

If you observed that they were stacking the box, why would you be concerned with our run blocking, considering the performance?

Last week, they were calling Arizona Mexico's team. I'm confused. I'm not, however, particularly worried about the Redskins.

I can't figure it out. Maybe? I'm not convinced he's totally healthy, though, either.

Good.

Why would there be any worry whatsoever about sacks. One of the two including Flacco merely running out of bounds behind the LOS...

Correct! It's all going well so far. :lol:

Ditto. But I'm loving the prospects of a tie. :lol:

Crazy? It's all looking good to me.

That's exactly the scenario I'm looking at. Plus, our stiffest remaining competition is Dallas. The Steelers still face Tennessee. Now, while we've gone over this simple scheduling already, I honestly think that it puts us a game ahead of Pittsburgh in the end. Of course, New England has to cooperate, first.
