Suck it Ford and Dustin.

98 team can eat me.

Awesome!  You tell 'em! 

[kkc60]

despite the win, im still frustrated over the red zone offence. Oliveira deserved some touches.

[Sir Blue and Gold]

We escape! Start the bus let's get out of there.

Serious question - not sure what you mean, did I miss something on tv?

Oh okay, calling out others here.  I get it.

For a minute I thought you were saying the Oline was crying. $func['entity_fix']('129315')$func['entity_fix']('129315')$func['entity_fix']('129315')

Dru and Kenny massive busts for me in fantasy.

Can someone explain to me why TSN showed 10s left on the clock when we took the 3rd down knee??  I thought they had horribly miscalculated.

I like Jermain Franklin's tie!  I couldn't pull that off, but looks nice on him

[The Zipp]

clearly we need him back and healthy.

Yes we do.

There is a small group on the forum that thought our OL was terrible and we should switch players.

They will cry if there isn't a buffet after the game lol

With our run game, strong D and Brown developing and managing the game, no worries.  Yes Zach is key but Moreno is his health and these reps for Brown are gold.

TSN sucks but what you gonna do?

[Blue In BC]

Whew. Horrible performance overall by offence and not so special teams.  ST's nearly cost us the game. Bighill taking a PI when it wasn't going to be a completed pass.

Kudos to defence and Houston in particular.

Not a well called game by Pierce and even worse execution. Poor blocking by OL a lot of the night.

Regardless, it was a win and that was critical.

[Big Daddy]

I think we need a new drinking game - shots every time Dustin says "are you kidding me?!"

I may be hammered by the half.

[kkc60]

Go to practice and call Prukop a useless player.  Come up and report if your head is still attached.  Have some respect.  You don't have a clue. Tough game for him, bad calls, bad handoffs.  Good player, key depth guy and specialist that is a proven vet.

he?s a fine short yardage QB. Putting him on any time outside of 2nd and 1-2 or 3rd and 1 has proven to be a waste. Specialists can be specialists but they deserve criticism when they don?t perform well. The whole ?this player would tear your head off if you criticized him? is a weak cop-out.

"what is going on here!"

You tell us Dustin, that's your job! 

[kkc60]

You tell us Dustin, that's your job! 

he wants the sound bites. for every time it works, there?s a dozen times it doesn?t.

Tell Biggie that when you PI someone, you don't put your arms up in the universal sign for "I just committed PI".  Just play it cool like a normal play.

Without the pick six we lose this game easily.

If CGY receivers and DBs had hands we lose this game easily.

Nothing weak about it.

The poster suggested he was the most useless player or something like that.  Talking about a bad performance yes, trashing a part of our team, never.  Try calling a pro player the most useless player.  Let me know how they take it.  You are just looking to one up me.  Seen this movie, got the t-shirt.  Next.  Best to respect all players, regardless of their performance or club they play for.
