not sure how you can call a potential win meaningless

[gbgary]

why DID we squib?

because mm is a dunb ass.

Guys, lets calm down a little. I have never seen so much rage going on when, in essence, we are leading the best team in the NFL at halftime, on the road, with half our defense on IR and our Pro Bowl QB sidelined. Lets look at the positives of the first half:

Outside of the first drive dropped pick, our defense has completely shut down the NE offense. We are getting too, and hitting, brady with our pressure packages. Who would of thought our defense was actually better than their offense? So far, this has rung true.

Flynn is outperforming brady, and because of that we are winning.

We are winning. Read that again: WE ARE WINNING.

I'll take it.

That was too big of a momentum swing in my book; home team wins!

I say dont fire Slocum...shoot him...put antlers on him and have him run around northern WI during deer hunting...

Was the return on Peprah or Slocum? Sounds like Peprah should have had him. Hard to fault the coach on a squib quick to an OL. Not sure the coach is at fault for a 313 pound OL rumbling 71 yards.

Peprah would have tackled him at the Packs 35. Still very poor.

Sorry Harv, but I gotta disagree. The problem is that a player is always out of position. Maybe we should fix that! Maybe we should make sure that all the players know their jobs and do a good job of executing. If it happens sparingly, then its chance. If it happens consistently, then its because the coach is not getting the job done of preparing his units.

we do get the ball back to start the half, if they don't do an onside kick on us. which i wouldn't put past BB

but it would be a whole lot nicer being up 10 rather than just 3

Sure but does McCarthy still get a freebee?

They are afraid of Tate, who is one of the better KO returners in the league. As is Dan Connoly.

wouldn't that be something...a man can dream

It's not meaningless in any sense of the word. We lose this and we're really pressing our luck to stay in WC contention. We got the bucs behind us who just keep winning and the saints and giants ahead of us. After losing last week, we cannot afford to lose this game. That loss last week was why we threw in the towel on the season.

AR out, lose to the lions, play NE on the road. Sure looked like all hope was lost.

Then we play the game... and turns out Flynn knows a little something aobut playing QB. Best backup in the league? That is now a certainty.

"now here's what you do ::insert street free agent name here::, u lineup behind the kicker, he kicks it, u run down the field fast and knock people in the teeth. get it? alright good" -- slocum

hey special teams redeems itself with a hold

[channtheman]

Maybe we should try letting Clifton return the next kickoff. Just saying.

[packer4life]

robert francois played that terribly on review goddam everyone fucked up

[Bossman641]

When was the last time ST swung a game in our favor? And I mean on kickoffs. The punting game helped us against the Jets.
