Why don't punters punt the mfing ball out of bounds anymore? I am sick of watching this Aggie redneck punt the ball into the end zone. I see nothing but this all over the league and it drives me fn crazy.

If you're at midfield and you can't punt the ball out of bounds within a linear space of 20 yards then turn in your jersey and go back to work at the dirt factory.

Give them the ball at the 20 and two plays later they're at midfield.

It's hilarious that this is your only comment on a 24-6 win.

Hmmm, early line has the Bills as a 3 to 3.5 pt favorite.... Thought this might be closer to a pickem.... Bills are one of the wild card contenders so, no doubt it would be a good time to keep winning...

Do you know what's really hilarious? It's that I posted this solely to elicit this exact reaction from you. It's as if I wrote it and you simply clicked Submit Reply.

So I win. I guess now I'll have to move on to more interesting subjects.

As I typed it I realized the irony of me making that my only comment on a 24-6 win. And yet I still couldn't resist myself.

About the game, I am now dangerously close to caring about this Texans team.

I didn't mention that that was your only post because I knew I didn't have to. I'm basically in the same spot, almost ready to care. I guess in my case it's sort of like the Astros. I can't really call myself a fan because I've distanced myself emotionally from the team and I watch with interest but dispassionately.

I'm finding myself in the same space with the Texans. I'm interested but not really emotionally involved. If they win I can enjoy it and if they lose I can enjoy that, too.

Arky owns the game thread with his pbp. There's less and less game talk during the game. That's why I mainly stay out. I would like to see more and would participate more if there were more. Probably a lot of us are in that same situation.

People that attend the home games are shut out because McNeck won't pay for decent cell coverage inside the stadium, something he surely sees as some bizarre teenage fad like the drive-in movie or the ham radio.

CNR Market Perform.

Comments are always welcome in the game day thread. I'm just kinda doing my own thing logging every play just to keep my own gameday antsy-ness in place....I can work around any rants/enthusiasm/praise/criticisms, etc. Some days there's just not a whole lot of people logged in....

In Chuck's defense, he may opt not to check the board when the momentum is going well. I post more often during the game when we suck than when we are doing well because I want to leave well enough alone.

Not that Chuck isn't capable of defending himself, but it explains my absenses during the game. Chuck may be the same way.

I just enjoy checking in on the weekly Chuck negativity rating (CNR). It's like watching the stock market even when you don't own stock. I'm not invested in it, but I'm more than curious enough to make it noteworthy to me.

Truthfully though, Chuck is usually a more expressive version of what I'm feeling. But occasionally like today, I lose all my pessimism and get fooled into being an old fashioned fan.
