More talk from McCarthy. I'll be impressed when he doesn't talk about changing or correcting things but does.

To be fair to McCarthy, he has the youngest roster in the league for the 3rd straight year.

It isn't as if McCarthy jumps up and down, begging Ted to give him the youngest roster in the NFL to work with. A lot of the players are in their first couple of seasons, and are still getting adjusted to the NFL speed, the detail, and the sheer volume of the Defensive calls.

Mistakes happening over and over again with a youngster, especially in the NFL, isn't totally unheard of. I think all MM can do is pretty much keep working to over come that, and have the vets like Driver be an example of where working on the basics, getting the fundamentals down to a second nature will lead you.

More talk from McCarthy. I'll be impressed when he doesn't talk about changing or correcting things but does. I'm a bit puzzled about him thinking they had leaders by example. Whose example were they following when they couldn't hold a lead late?

I'm a bit puzzled why fans, looking from the outside in, even comment on leadership, re: who provides it/does the team need more/etc. How could any of us possibly know a thing about the leadership of this team? Especially to the point where you're debating the coach's remarks on it. It seems pretty preposterous to me.

We can judge by results. By your logic no one can ever assess any situation they weren't directly a part of.

"mattresell" wrote:

Assess an intangible situation that you are not a part of accurately? Yes. That's exactly what I'm saying.

You just eliminated the need for ESPN and sport talk radio. I'm blaming you for the recession.

Can you not type this in shorthand? It's extremely annoying to read. I like the material but it is very annoying...

The same mistakes shouldn't be happening in week 16 that were in week 1. I don't completely buy into the young team argument. In 2006 the ten youngest teams had a .531 winning percentage and four made the playoffs. In 2007, the ten youngest had a .606 winning percentage, five made the playoffs. The 06 Colts (3rd youngest) and 07 Giants (8th) were both in those sets, and both won a title. Youth can be a factor, but well coached youth can perform.

The same thing I said about Thompson is how I feel about McCarthy. I have an open mind, but something needs to be done and for Thompson I think he needs to make a move in free agency and for McCarthy I think he needs to make changes to his staff and specifically Bob Sanders as I've said over and over, but for the most part this off season has potential to be a great one or the one that leads to an end of a regime. We'll see what happens.

"Our pad level was to high (we sucked) our special teams were not up to par (we REALLY sucked) and it's going to get fixed (hopefully by the end of the decade........cause we sucked). As the coach, it's my responsibility to get the players ready (I sucked). I take FULL responsibility (as long as it doesn't cost me my job, cause my play calling SUCKED)."

Zero2Cool (37m) : Woo-hoo

beast (20h) : But the Return from IR designations had to be applied by the 53 man cutdown.

beast (20h) : It's a new rule, so it's not clear, but my understanding was that they could be IR'd at any time

Mucky Tundra (8-Aug) : *had to be IRed at 53

Mucky Tundra (8-Aug) : beast, I thought the designate return from IR players had to be IR at cutdowns to 53, not before

beast (8-Aug) : It's a brand new rule, either last season or this season, prior, all pre-season IRs were done for the season

beast (8-Aug) : But the Packers would have to use one for their return from IR spots on him, when they cut down to 53.

beast (8-Aug) : I think the NFL recently changed the IR rules, so maybe the season might not be over for OL Glover.

Zero2Cool (8-Aug) : Packers star Howton, first NFLPA prez, dies at 95 😔

dfosterf (8-Aug) : Apparently it is too complicated for several to follow your simple instructions, but I digress

dfosterf (8-Aug) : Zero- Did you see what I posted about Voice of Reason and his wife? She posted over at fleaflicker that they are both "In"

Zero2Cool (7-Aug) : Well, not crazy, it makes sense. Crazy I didn't notice/find it earlier

Zero2Cool (7-Aug) : it's crazy how one stored procedure to get data bogged everything down for speed here

dfosterf (7-Aug) : to herd cats or goldfish without a bowl. They reminded me of the annual assembly of our fantasy league

dfosterf (7-Aug) : out on a field trip, outfitting them with little yellow smocks. Most of the little folk were well behaved, but several were like trying

dfosterf (7-Aug) : Yesterday my wife and I spent the afternoon on the waterfront here in Alexandria, Va. A daycare company took about 15 three/four year olds

wpr (7-Aug) : seems faster. yay

dfosterf (7-Aug) : Wife of reason posted on the in/out thread on fleaflicker that both she and vor are in

Zero2Cool (7-Aug) : This page was generated in 0.135 seconds.

Mucky Tundra (7-Aug) : Tbh, I can never tell the difference in speed unless it's completely shitting the bed

Zero2Cool (7-Aug) : Sure does feel like site is more snappy

Zero2Cool (6-Aug) : I thought that was the Lions OL

Mucky Tundra (6-Aug) : Travis Glover placed on IR; seasons over for him

Zero2Cool (6-Aug) : found bad sql in database, maybe site faster now?

dfosterf (5-Aug) : I'm going to call that a good move.

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : Packers sign CB Corey Ballentine

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : I'm not sure how to kill the draft order just yet so it's not so confusing.

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : *to be able

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : and because it's not a dynasty league (which makes a lot more sense to be ability to trade picks)

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Oh I know; I was just exploring and it blew my mind that you could trade picks because of the whole reordering thing

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Zero, I think I preferred my offer: your 1st for my 15th rounder

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : Keep in mind, we do a draft reorder once all members locked in

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : You can have my 12th Rd for your 2nd round

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Hey i didn't know we could trade picks in fantasy

Mucky Tundra (3-Aug) : Update: Rock has tried a cheese curd, promises it's not his last

Zero2Cool (3-Aug) : watch it!! lol

Mucky Tundra (3-Aug) : you're right, we never did leave, the site just went down :P

Mucky Tundra (3-Aug) : Rock claims to have never eaten a cheese curd

Zero2Cool (3-Aug) : We did not leave.

Mucky Tundra (3-Aug) : Family Night! WE ARE SO BACK!

Mucky Tundra (2-Aug) : To this day, I'm still miffed about his 4 TD game against Dallas on Thanksgiving going to waste

Martha Careful (2-Aug) : Congratulations Sterling Sharpe. He was terrific and I loved watching him play.

beast (2-Aug) : I believe it's technically against the CBA rules, but Jerry just calls it a simple unofficial chat... and somehow gets away with it.

beast (2-Aug) : Jerry Jones is infamous for ̶n̶e̶g̶o̶t̶i̶a̶t̶i̶n̶g̶ chatting with players one on one... and going around the agent.

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : Oo just saw a blurb saying that Dallas negotiated directly with Parsons and not through his agent

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : I assumed that both guys will get paid, just a matter of when or how we get there

Zero2Cool (1-Aug) : McLaurin nor Micah going anywhere. They will get money

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : the Synder years or do they take care of one of their own?

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : Do the Commanders risk losing a top WR with an emerging QB just because he's turning 30 and potentially risk damaging the rebuild from
