And he blows at reading the defense.

I don't think he can read the defense. Honestly, I think he has one receiver in mind that is the go to. I'm not saying it's his fault. I'm sure the offensive sets are designed around is limitations.....which are many. How many times was Rivera open on busted plays that went to someone else?

No. I know the jist of it.

Edit-Sorry for the short reply, Newt. My political brain kicked in and hit a sore spot. History has been and is being rewritten as we type. Lot of good stories out there that need to be heard.

My re-typed reply.

I'm fuzzy on which interception was first. The one that had the long return? It was a nice play, but it was still a poorly thrown ball. It wasn't necessarily underthrown, but it should have gone to the receiver's outside shoulder.

The other interception came because he was hung out to dry by his WR. He should have become like a DB there and just made sure it was not picked. Piss poor effort.

Yup. Any hopes of bowl eligibility rest in our o-lines ability to run block.

Agree. The D can do the job. But, they can't do it if they're on the field all game. The O has got to give them a breather. I'm surprised the D lasted as long as they did today. They have very little help from the O. Somebody has got to light a fire under the ass of the O line.

I thought I was being hushed.

So are you saying you don't think it is an accurate book?

Fue is was? el hoy is today?

At one time I was well on my way to fluency. Then never spoke a word until my gf was in it and I had to help with some vocab. It's weird how quickly I forgot.

No, not hushed. Most people today don't have a clue what the world was like at that time. No idea what went on. Troops dying every day and no news coverage of any of it. Just a blip on the radar. That was something that we were in as early as 1955 and no one knew. That fighting was very much different than today's video game fighting. Everyone there was fighting for survival. Everyone has stories. But, history will be white washed to appease the ass holes and forever poison the hippies. New, when you figure out politics, for real, you might find yourself in a growing minority.
