Yo... Moe

[moe]

I have to say that Dallas/NE game was great! It was even better when Dallas won!!
I have to go & find Ms M. She would've been all over that Dallas win. And Jerry, you know
she loves "her boys." The Falcons were on a bye, & the Steelers pulled out a win in OT.
Steelers are on a bye this week, WFT plays GB [in GB], Falcons play Miami [in Miami].
Seems to me that Mahomes has been intercepted more times this year than before.

[moe]

Well, hopefully I have some good news. I got a hold of Ms M, She wants to come back & post [especially on this thread]. She needs a new password. Hopefully she will get in touch with Ralph & we can hear about "her boyz."

[arr&bee]

Wow,that's good news moe,we need our[ms m]...hey jerry,the blind dog found a bone...gizzards win game one,nba finals here we come...haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaa!!!!

[ms_m]

I've been in Boyz heaven this season, even the ALMOST win against the Bucs didn't dampen my spirits and although I almost had a heart attack against the Pats.... my Boyz pulled it through.

Refuse to dog the rest of your teams cause hey....I know the feeling but hang in there, could take years like it did for me [[and it's not over yet) but your day will come. LOL

[ms_m]

Oh. I do have one more thing to comment on at this time and this one is for you Jai. Everytime I see WTF...oops I mean WFT....I swear I get dyslexic.

[ms_m]

I'M BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACCCCCCCCCCCCCCK

Missed you guys but first things first....HOW BOUT DEM BOYZ

[arr&bee]

i'm baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaacccccccccccccck

[moe]

welcome back ms m!!!!!!!! I am so happy to have you back!!!!!!!
Yippee!!!!!!

[ms_m]

Hey Moe,

I NEVER check my spam folder but something told me to look and there was the SDF email. LOL

Thanks for the welcome. It's good to be back.

[ms_m]

So, other than sports, how is everyone doing? I still refuse to talk politics so let's not go there.

For me life has been up, life has been down. Nothing new there but every day above ground works for me these days. Trying to wait out these so call experts about a booster for us J&J vaccinated folks but that's about it on my end.

May take me a minute to catch up on a few post but I'll be around.

[Jerry Oz]

Welcome back, ms_m! Missed you for all of last season and half of another but I'm glad you're with us. Jai's affection toward you is the only thing that might break his love affair for hooch {but you are probably just going to be his side chick; that love affair is STRONG} but he's going to be happy to have his favorite Cowgirl back.

I'm starting to think that you just waited until Dallas was a serviceable football team before you came back, though. Just kidding; they're looking good and scheduled to play my Dirty Birds in a couple of weeks. Can't wait. I hope you've reaped God's blessings in the time that we've been apart. In this terrible age, any time spent missing someone that I care for is a reason to worry that something bad has happened to them. I'm more than happy that you're back and seem to be well.

[ms_m]

What's up Jerry Oz? I'm hanging in there. The main problem, for some reason my old password didn't work. If I had bothered to look in my spam folder before deleting it basically everyday I would have found a link to reset but oh well, I'm here now.

Had a little health scare long before Covid hit but I'm good now...just old and loving the fact I wake up err morning. LOL

My Jai will never give up the hooch [[or the elephants - long story) but I'm good with that cause I refuse to give up my dirty martini's.

When Dak went down last season I was heart broken. I really thought that would be our year. However, he's back better than ever it seems and so far so good. Next Sunday is youth Sunday at my church and we're suppose to wear sweat shirts and jeans. I've got my Boyz shirt ready and there are actually a few of us Boyz fans in the place. My pastor is a Ravens fan though but I don't hold it against him. LOL

I haven't seen a lot of Falcons games this season. When the Boyz aren't playing I'm mostly checking out all the rookie qb's. Quite an interesting bunch out there. I'll look in on you guys this weekend but I think the Dolphins should be a gimme for your Dirty Birds!

...and the WTF...oops... I mean WFT ....what can you say other than Snyder makes JJ half way palatable. LOL

The Steelers have suprised me this season but I think Moe is on to something. Time for Big Ben to call it a day! shrugs.

Nuf chit chat for now. See you later.

[Jerry Oz]

See you on Sunday. By the way, I'm nearly as big a Dolphins fan as a Falcons fan and I hate it when they play. Especially since the Falcons winning will effectively eliminate the Dolphins seven games into the season. I don't know what exactly went wrong there but life is too short to worry too much about the quality of my entertainment. Definitely qualifies as a first world problem, IMO.

Enjoy your weekend and again, welcome back.

[ms_m]

Oh and I much appreciate the welcome back Jerry Oz. It felt weird not talking football with you guys so it's good to be back. When I find more time, I may even venture over to the music threads to see what's new [[or not so new) over there.

[ms_m]

Found an appointment fo my booster today. It's at 6:30 am so I thought I'd pass some time before I have to leave.

Good Morning everyone and have a 10 foot tall, bullet proof day!

[moe]

Ms M, if there was one singular incident that made me think [& miss) you, it was the injury to Dak Prescott last year. I was actually watching that on TV when it happened. Now look at him. Those guys are red hot!! My Steelers? I don't think it's their year. Ben is not what he used to be [[age) & for all those millions they're paying him they could've used that $$ for some other good players. Steelers with a bye tomorrow, then on to Cleveland on the 31st. Yeah, a crazy game on Halloween!!

Jerry, Columbus football tonight.......

[ms_m]

Correct me if I'm wrong Mo but I believe the niners are paying Garoppolo more than Big Ben and if it wasn't for his good looks he really wouldn't have that much going for him imo.

To make matters even worse, they [[niners) give up the store for a rookie they don't seem to want to develop or really play. Teams these days really boggle the mind.

When Dak went down and I saw tears, I started tearing up too. I'm amazed he was able to come back in the way that he has....and that contract JJ gave him.....WOW. I want to see my Boyz go all the way this year but more than anything else I want to see Dak get the respect he deserves.

[moe]

I couldn't agree more with you. I saw the replay several times. The look on his face said it all!!
Big Ben took a pay cut this year. Who in the world would've paid $35mil to a 39 y/o QB who is in the twilight of his career? He acted like "look what I did" when in fact coming off a severe injury who was to know exactly how he could perform? I'm also not a fan of Mason Rudolph, his backup. That guy has lead in his feet & couldn't get out of the pocket fast enough. Josh Dobbs is extremely smart but he's been off with a toe injury. I think the wild card is Haskins, whom the Steelers picked up for peanuts. It still remains how he'll do once he gets the chance.

We'll have more to discuss [naturally] after the games. I see where your boyz have a bye also.

[ms_m]

Yep we're off this week. Time to refuel.

When I first heard about Haskins while he was with Wash. I thought he was a straight up jerk but it seems he's getting his act together. I'm pulling for him, not every player will take advantage of that second [[or more) chance they often receive.

[arr&bee]

Hey jerry,am i having a hooch hullucination or are them[noaccount]gizzards 2-0???

[ms_m]

...and Kellen Moore is doing a fab job as well. Didn't care for him as a qb but he's turning into a heck of an OC. He may be on a short list for coach soon.

[Jerry Oz]

I felt bad for Dak, too. But he lost most of that sympathy when he conflated questions about his vaccination with being a HIPAA violation. He's too smart to be parroting MAGA talking points {HIPAA has nothing to do with answering questions about your own health}. But he's playing his best football right now, so Jerry should be happy he finally opened up those purse strings to sign him.

And I'm surprised that Dan Quinn fixed Dallas' offense as quickly as he did. Much better defensive coordinator than he is a head coach. Him facing his old team is going to be a talking points when we play.

[ms_m]

Oh yeah, I forgot about the HIPPA comment which was pretty lame but ex Cowboy Cole Beasley really sent me over the edge.

Hello my wonderful, hooch drinking, stud muffin. You know I can't stay away from you too long. SMOOCHES!!!!

We're on top right now but I'm still being cautious...been here before and it didn't end well. However, I am extremely and enthusiastically optimistic !!!!!!!

[ms_m]

Happy Birthday Moe

Have a great day my friend and many, many, many, many, many, many, many ...more to come!!!!!

[sophisticated_soul]

Ms. M:

Love You, JOsEph

[moe]

Thanks Ms M.......nothing has changed....especially our choice of drink....still the same

[sansradio]

Happy birthday, moe, and a zillion more!!!

[sophisticated_soul]

Happy Birthday Moe! Have the best day ever.

[ms_m]

Jerry Oz, it's early but this game may be a little more exciting than I expected. Good news, either way it goes you're a winner.

[ms_m]

Thanks SS. Good to be seen
We'll talk soon....promise!

Cheers Moe [[sound of clinking glassess]

[moe]

Bengals/Ravens good game
Zach Wilson hurt vs Patriots?

I can't remember the last time I saw a holding penalty called on BOTH teams
Falcons still in the lead, Jerry.

Later.........

[ms_m]

Wow Ravens got their butt kicked by the team with the ugly helmets. LOL

Chiefs are falling apart.

I was looking through past comments in this thread and Jerry Oz made a statement about Aaron Rodgers being a nut. Until this season I never thought much about Rodgers outside of the field but he does seem to be....a nut... but sorry for the loss Jai.

[moe]

Aaron Rogers, with his long stringy hair looks homeless.......& Steelers Twitter has him possibly coming to Pittsburgh next season if Big Ben retires......WTH?

[ms_m]

Inspite of the impressive start by the Dolphins and during the game, that played out the way I expected. I really thought the birds would pick up a qb in the draft but obviously Fontenot knew what he was doing choosing Pitts.

However....what's up with Flores trying to immulate Tomlin with those shades? He really isn't pulling off the look. LOL

OMG Ms M I said the VERY SAME THING about Flores!!!!!!!

[ms_m]

Moe, unless he [[Rodgers) comes in with guns blazing the terrible towels will eat him alive. Personally, I think he's another one that needs to hang it up.

...and Flores and shakes head. lol

[moe]

I agree with you......he's 37 & is in the twilight time

So, since you haven't been around what's your take on Brady? How much longer? Is he one of those outliers or what?

[ms_m]

I try not to give Brady any thought but I do respect his mental toughness. I'm guessing when he gets more rings than Belichick he will finally give it up.

[moe]

There must've been some serious conflict between those two & Brady just said "enough."
I'm no Brady fan but I was thrilled Brady & team won the Super Bowl & BB was sitting at home eating popcorn.

[ms_m]

Anyone watching the Arizona game? IMPRESSIVE!!!!!!

[ms_m]

Oh and by that exchange he and his former coach had at the end of the game a few weeks ago, there's definitely bad blood there but they are two peas in a pod from where I sit so who knows who is right or wrong and do I care? NOPE!

[ms_m]

Sorry Moe, I can't think of any reason or situation where I would ever support Brady or ANY team he is playing on...AND, as a 50 plus year fan of the Dallas Cowboys that includes them as well!!! That's just how much I dislike the man. Although, his ego and JJ's ego would never mesh so I don't see anything like that coming to fruition. As I said I respect his mental toughness and I respect what he brings to the table as a player but I don't care for his attitude. The man truly doesn't float my boat!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

[moe]

In the scheme of things I just want anyone to beat either TB or NE.
That's it, That's all.

[ms_m]

We can agree on that!

[ms_m]

Moving on to tonight's game.

I was intrigued with the fact that the Niners gave up three first round picks for the least experienced qb in the draft so I've been following them this season. A lot of things they are doing with this kid don't seem to make any sense. Although I wasn't a RG3 fan, I'm beginning to wonder if the "so call genius" Shanahan truly knows how to design plays for a mobile qb. I also have a few other thoughts on Shanahan but I'll wait to see how the season plays out before I voice them. But something isn't quite right in Santa Clara.

[Jerry Oz]

The Falcons should have kept Shanahan over Quinn. The marriage between Shanahan and Ryan was the closest thing to Mike Martz & Kurt Warner that I've seen. Neither will ever have a season like that again. Lance isn't in that mode. If we couldn't keep Shanny, we should have promoted Sean McVey to OC or assistant head coach. But losing both was Quinn's death knell in Atlanta.

[ms_m]

I'm curious, does Mac Jones fit into that mode? The rumor is that's who he really wanted but was told, coerced, forced or whatever into taking Trey.

[Jerry Oz]

I'm curious, does Mac Jones fit into that mode? The rumor is that's who he really wanted but was told, coerced, forced or whatever into taking Trey.

Beats me. By the time Kyle got to Atlanta, he was probably Ryan's fourth or fifth coordinator. Ryan was Kyle's umpteenth QB. Personally, I think it was just a matter of the right coach being with the right QB at the right time. Quinn's single biggest error was bringing in a quality OC in Steve Sarkisian and instructing him to run Kyle's offense. Sark's offense would have been successful in Atlanta. You can't expect a coordinator to run another coaches offense because he won't have the experience to know when to call certain plays. It was unfair to Sark and the team.

And then, he brought in Dirk Koetter and told him to run Kyle's offense. Results were absolutely dreadful. Koetter has similar plays but tweaked them until they were neither Kyle's offense nor Dirk's. For example, Kyle ran an outside zone running scheme and Dirk ran a power rush offense. We didn't have the running backs or offensive linemen to run Dirk's offense. I knew it wouldn't work as soon as I heard Quinn wanted to run the same scheme. He should have hired McVey or Matt LeFluer, who were Shanahan's disciples.

I never thought the Niners were going to draft Jones because prevailing opinion was that he'd be available later. I do believe that Jones would have started the season over Jimmy G. If Trey Lance is a guy that Kyle thinks fits perfectly within his system, he shouldn't have swept Kaepernick off the team. Lance has a stronger arm, but he's not a more dynamic athlete than Kaep was and he probably won't ever be the leader that he was.

[ms_m]

I'm trying not to go too far down the rabbit hole for a team I don't pull for but the comments from the Niners camp plus their fans are interesting. I don't put too much stock in a lot of it but when someone like Steve Young jumps into the fray my ears perk up. Time will tell how this plays out but a rookie is going to make rookie mistakes. That's just how it goes but the overpaid Jimmy G and his coach look more like rookies than Lance imo. DeMeco is showing serious promise though so there's that.

[ms_m]

...and while I'm on an ituitive rant, will someone please give me my props for predicting that Superbowl 54 win for the Chiefs. LOL

Hey, better late than never
