T0mShane Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 No one made a game thread. Now, here, allow me to tell you how, in my day, we never missed game threads because we weren’t trying to have sex with Siri like these young millennials.

T0mShane Posted October 29, 2017 Author Share Posted October 29, 2017 Everyone get hype. Buster Skrine isn’t playing. Buster Skrine represents everything that’s wrong with Maccagnan and Bowles—As a Brown, Skrine had some decent numbers as strictly a slot corner, but he was always extremely limited, always gave up TDs, and was always among the most penalty-ridden DBs in the league year after year. Maccagnan gave him a four-year, $25 million dollar contract anyway, this AFTER signing Revis and Cromartie to relatively big money. Why would you hire a career defensive backs coach to be your head coach if you have to pour tens of millions of dollars into the one position you’d think he could develop? And for those who will point the finger at Idizik (coughGlenn) the CB position is arguably worse today than when Maccagnan dumped all that money on Revis, Cro, and Skrine.

T0mShane Posted October 29, 2017 Author Share Posted October 29, 2017 Game forecast is for torrential rain, which should hold down milquetoast emo stick-of-chalk QB Matt Ryan. Easy bet that Matt Forte gets 20 touches today, which is rebuilding at its finest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apache 51 Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Weather...for pre game pounding purposes only. 61. Lots of pouring rain 100%...so keep those drinks dry. Inside the stadium...who cares, you are not playing. Be loud and tell the opposing fan around you to stfu. Lots of running today...they have an Ant he is a good ant, look out for him and their lil bit bigger back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC the signings went Revis, then Skrine, then Cromartie (which doesn't make it any better). The most special joy was the overwhelming applause, like a herd of circus seals, for "totally rebuilding" our defensive backfield all in 1 year. Except this glorious rebuild only lasted 1 year, while the amount spent on them alone should have lasted at least 3. Of course by year 3 the only one left is Skrine, kept because there was already no one else left, and everybody wants him gone as well (everyone except, seemingly, Maccagnan and Bowles). The "tens of millions of dollars" - though nominally correct - truly makes it sound less than it was, and somehow gets framed as though it's to his credit that "we were able to get out of it after only 2 years and ~$70m!" Brilliance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still disgusting, for the reasons you posted. Again, it doesn't make it any better. So the great 2015 rebuild we added 30 year-old Revis (at 2 yrs $39m or 3 yrs $48m), 26 year-old never-was Skrine (guaranteed him some $13m over the first 2 years). But that's not enough for a HC who was an NFL DB himself and earned his coaching stripes as a DBC. We then still needed to sign 31 year-old Cromartie to the same $7m amount he'd earned in the prior year (2014) and the following year (2016) combined. Gameday threads are the bestest.

Brilliance. i'm not even sure it lasted 1 season. there were plenty of cricks showing in revis' ability to defend even in the first year and, he wasn't even close to being lock down when he was with the patsies. and cro? didn't he get benched or injured or something that limited his ability? imo that first year they had vets like wilk and sheldon and harris and marshall all trying to make a good impression on their new coach and gm. it paid off to a certain degree but wasn't lasting.

Schitthead's 2008 wildcat Brad Smith reverse to Cotchery in a monsoon vs. Denver. Forseeably to everyone, except Schitt for Brains that is, resulted in a disastrous fumble-six.
