    Attention Navarre defenders you are now on the clock.

    My God man, dispute what!? Paragraph 1 - 3 - So given that this board is mostly calling each other out and arguing I was supposed to interpret the title of this thread as a joke and not another "For all you <insert whatever> backers out there" thread? Sure. Whatever. My bad. Paragraph 4 -...

    Attention Navarre defenders you are now on the clock.

    Oh I'm saying he sucks alright. Maybe sucks is the wrong term, maybe not starter material is better. But I still get the impression you think that's an unfair statement because compared to the other QB's we have he's the best. Can't argue that. But I still think he sucks. Again, I am...

    Attention Navarre defenders you are now on the clock.

    This is exactly what I am talking about. You are absolutely correct, there are more problems on this team than just QB. So we can ignore the clowns that think otherwise. But where your argument totally breaks down is where you say you reject that Josh sucks because there are other problems on...

    Attention Navarre defenders you are now on the clock.

    First, conrad, I know you're not that type, but many others are. I guess my frustration is that I view this forum about once a week now (on gamedays) and it never fails that 1 or 2 of the top 10 posts are "calling out" some other forum member. That's not even counting the threads that start as...

    Attention Navarre defenders you are now on the clock.

    So is this like the thread where everyone who supports Navarre or at least the concept of giving him a few more games steps up so they can be the subject of "call out" posts? Are we to bookmark this thread, so next week when Navarre throws a pick, or misses an open receiver, we can come back...

    It's Official: The Cardinals are back to being pitiful!

    Excellent post. And yes, it's quite sad that we could not take this division. If the Rams and Seahawks lost the rest of their games and we beat only those two teams the rest of the way out we'd take the division. We'd be 6-10 with the Seahawks and have the head to head tiebreaker! But since...

    Stupid Mac: Chat no workie! Hows Navarre?

    The chat room works just fine under Mac OS 10.3.6 and Safari 1.2.4. Perhaps make sure you (schutd) have the latest Java Runtime?

    Kudos to Defense

    Um, after playing football at the NCAA level, the high school level, and in some cases the Pop Warner level, I would sure as Hell hope that pouncing on a loose ball is like a brain-stem function for defensive players in the NFL. There is no excuse, no amount of points given up the previous year...

    McCown benched, King to start

    What is more important on offense: Great skilled players or a great offensive line?

    Offensive line, without a doubt. Edit: Oh and I am not sure what you're saying about most of Indy's offensive line being only "serviceable". Football Outsiders attempts to see how much line play affects performance. For running they use "adjusted line yards" and for passing they use...

    Michael Vick

    Too bad the media took that game away from Atlanta's defense and gave it to Vick. Defense had two picks and recovered three fumbles and (special teams) had a blocked punt for a TD. Vick did have the opening touchdown pass and had a total of 117 yards passing. 67 on the ground. Decent day, but it...

    What's the Best Thing About Rackers?

    Touchbacks. It's all about field position.

    current weather forecast for Sunday

    Maybe in Madden 2005 player ratings and in the media's collective mind but not in terms of production on the football field. According to footballoutsiders.com, the Bills are 24th in rushing, a whole three spots ahead of us. Our run D is #1 by the way. The Bills run game is a myth is...

    Who Is Going Sunday To Buffalo!!

    I'll be there, way up in section 339. Hope it's not too windy!

    Buffalo Game

    That is correct, there are tickets left for the game, at least as of yesterday. It won't be that cold yet, or at least it won't be as big a problem as rain and wind could be. The Bills offensive line sucks and if not for Miami's being even worse you'd hear even more about how bad they are...

    Why didnt TJ do this in AZ?

    And that's exactly why at the end of my post I said I don't put much into stats like yards per carry or total yardage. Because you can spin them and take them out of context so many ways. I believe I said something to that effect in both my posts in this thread, interesting that wasn't quoted...

    Why didnt TJ do this in AZ?

    No disagreement here, but I don't think comparing what Emmitt did in x carries to what Jones did in a similar number of carries is invalid just because Emmitt got his in five games and Jones in four. That's why I think DVOA is a good system, it doesn't care if the runs came in one game or the...

    Why didnt TJ do this in AZ?

    I think what he was saying is that outside of one good game the others combined have been mediocre. When looked at from that perspective Jones is getting like 3.8 per carry which is ok but nothing special. Looking at his game by game YPC it looks like he has way to high a variance to be...

    Cards Defense 3rd best according to Aikman

    Try http://www.footballoutsiders.com Efficiency ratings are based off every single play run during the course of the season. This site wasn't formed specifically to get ratings but to challange the usefulness of conventional stats, which is what Aikman seems to be crusading against. Later...

    One Word to Describe Josh McCown:

    It's about time somebody start checking Football Outsiders out, I've thrown out that URL on many occasions. Our pass defense DVOA being dead last and worse than our other ratings was my main reason for wanting a defensive back first in the draft. The article entitled "The Misunderstood Rams" was...

    New Cardinal Uniforms

    100% agree. I don't know if they have it in Madden, but NFL2k5 has the '58-'59 Cardinals uniform. Plain red helmet, gray mask, red jersey without shoulder numbers, and plain white (no stripes) pants. In 2k5 McCown has black shoes and they look great with the throwback uniforms.

    AIKMAN: Memo to the competition committee

    This has been done already. It's called Defense-adjusted Value Over Average (DVOA), and Defense-adjusted Points Above Replacement (DPAR). Take a gander.

    Did anyone see Green on ESPN news today?

    I saw that. I had ESPN News on this morning before I went to work and when I came home and turned on the TV it was the very beginning of his interview. I was thrilled to see actual Cardinals coverage, especially on ESPN, since my opinion of their football coverage has been slipping...

    My oh my......all this negative emotion

    You left: "Is it because the same core group of people keep attacking each other in thread after thread re-hashing the same (often weak) arguments/opinions over and over again as if they say it enough it will be true?" off your list. I never bothered reading/posting on the official...
