It does bear to mention a few things. With the exception of the rare midseason trade or signing an also-ran off of his couch to fill a position, Ted Thompson's job for the 2008 season is over. It's certainly over as concerns the on-field product in any significant way, barring a significant injury. So whether we like Ted or hate him, and whether the team he fielded works out of it doesn't, it's sort of pointless to talk about Ted now.
Anything we can say about Ted Thompson at this point is largely second-guessing and recrimination, and the product on the field is a hell of a lot more interesting than the product in the office.
Had an awesome time at the game last night. The crowd was pumped, the beer was going down well...the team played overall very good. Just two observations.....we are in major trouble if Grant gets hurt and we have to rely on BJack. Also, M3's play calling in the 2nd half was garnering a few boo's in the crowd. Not sure if that was picked up on TV or not, but lots were booing about that. Especially towards the end when he didn't even attempt to pick up the first down.
I read back a few pages in this thread, sounds like Kornholio was at his finest again... so glad that I didn't have to listen to that idiot. Although the annoying Queens fan sitting behind me was just as irritating.
Wow, I am sure glad we started the season off with a win. This is huge for the morale of the team and A-Rod. It also keeps the commentators quiet about Favre-Gate. Keep the winning streak alive guys!!!!!
what's up with jamarcus russell's love-handle protection?
Just as I was telling my girlfriend how he had gained a bunch of weight, and Oakland was supposedly concerned with the shape he was in, etc, the announcers started saying how hard he'd worked, attending all the offseason weight training sessions, etc, and that Oakland couldn't have asked more from him...so which is it???
