Then you have the depressing Thursday night games like Bills/Dolphins where it feels like you're talking to yourself.

Yeah, but it's the best unreadable liveblog!

No way, even when it's shit Thursday night games the majority of us still come out to either laugh at the teams or shit on the fanbase.
I remember last year during the Browns/Ravens game it started off as everyone shitting on Browns-GAF and ended with everyone saying "okay the Browns aren't THAT bad".
That is what I call "progression".
Plus Thursday night games are great times for us all to see shit teams we'd never watch and really understand if they are truly shitty or just suffering from bad coaching or one or two really bad players.
God damn Schoob was a big part of my team switching. I just couldn't stand another year of he and Kubiak, let alone 5. Lions fans whine about Stafford wasting Calvin Johnson's career, and that is the way I feel about Carr and Schaub. Dre is a Hall of Famer and I really worry he won't get in b/c people will bitch about his TD totals, not doing their homework to see Schaub underthrows 5 easy TDs a year
edit:
Jesus fuck what a bunch of dumbasses
You're an unreadable liveblog!
But really are you shocked? You have about 3-4 games going on at the same time on Sunday. Things don't get "coherent" really until Sunday night and Monday night when the focus is only on one game.
Besides I dare you to go look at the historic thread where buttfumble happened. That was beauty. I think it spanned 2 or 3 pages (50ppp) of :lol and :jnc and whatever else.

So pre-training camp team evaluations. I'm thinking the goal here is to do a short recap of what your individual team has done in the Offseason including highlighting some important FA signings, in-house resignings, draft choices and then give an assessment of the teams strengths and weaknesses.
We can do another "final" evaluation after the third or fourth preseason game for each team prior to the start of the season to see if needs/strengths/weaknesses have evolved.
I'm thinking this format as an (incomplete) example
Start date would be either tomorrow or Thursday.
Thoughts? Feedback? Anything you think should be added?

Scrap the signings/draft part. We all know who went where mostly, and nobody cares where utility guys like Ellerbe ended up.
Jaws' updated list with all the transcripts at the link below. Not sure how Ben is better than Eli if he can't play more than 12 games a year anymore

I was kind of thinking we could do a team or two a day. Kind of catch everyone up on what's been going on with lesser known teams.
The butt fumble has got to be one of my favourite football moments ever. Although I still have no idea what the fuck :jnc means
Team: Seahawks
Team Strengths: Power running game, secondary, dynamic young QB, receivers
Team Weaknesses: Pass rush questions, slow starts
Primary Area of Need: Pass rush needs to be much improved, and that need is reflected in the trio of defensive linemen they signed as FAs - Cliff Avril, Michael Bennett from TB, and Tony McDaniel - and the two draft picks they made in Jesse Williams out of Alabama and Jordan Hill. Additionally, Pete needs to figure out how to get his team properly focused to start games, they were bailed out many times last year by Russell's late game heroics. Unfortunately, it came back to bite them in a few games (including the season-ending loss to the Falcons in the divisional round of the playoffs) when the hole was just too deep for Russell to dig them out.

Ben always seems to get hurt against a Garbo team on Thursday or Monday night.
I dread those games now.

...and this is exactly why I'd like to keep the FA signings and draft. I have no clue who you're talking about because I don't follow the Seahawks at all.
I don''t think folks will automatically know who was signed where for smaller teams, etc.I'll defer to you guys on that though. If the majority feels it's not needed, so be it.
It's an old in-joke. A frequent question for new posters in the thread. It's basically means lol

I edited them in
Maybe we can bring them up in the exposition section if they're relevant, but leave them out otherwise?TheLegendary

Rewatches first half of Packers game.
...
Consistency is one of the improvements that needs to be made
They had good games like that one, but they just completely disappeared in others. And they depended almost entirely on two guys (Clemons and Irvin). We may blitz a little more with our new DC and the addition of Antoine Winfield, too.Futurevoid

You saved us from the tyrant FMT. This noble act will never be forgotten or devalued! You are a hero, LJ.
That's like saying Kathy Bates is a fading beauty.

Seriously hoping the NFL replaces him with a dark silhouette so he really can be ***** ******.

So all previous game footage would just have this dark blob running around the field? Or maybe they could just replace him with generic Madden created character.

They should replace it with a yard by yard montage of that Pats lineman taking a kickoff back 80 yards against our horrendous coverage team.
From the ESPYs (they still have those?) backstage. Russ is using his down time to watch film and I guess Kap is touching himself

In the Texans defense they do themes for each game every year. One of them always being a "homecoming" game where old, retired players are honorary captains. The dumb jackets last year was all on the players and Barwin/Cody in particular.
It was pretty dumb to pick the Pats game for that theme though. Doesn't matter, that late in the season the Pats will be on the losing side waiting for the season to end and all the bandwagoners will have disappeared.

Jets could use him at DE. And RB. And WR. And QB.

You and I both know the Browns aren't that bad.

You think Russell is going to cheat on this:
She looks like the crazy "Will cut ya dick off and serve it to the dog if you cheat" type
