The Wicked Wop

I'm LMAO so hard at #1694 that I'm crying. This is one of the few threads on this message board that has never gotten old for me. I LOL every time I open it.

I think is the one thread each should be required to come to once a week to let off some steam, realize we're all on the same team, and the laugh at anything that has to do Mara

Agreed. But some people like to be in the sun/air without concrete over their head. I like my row 3 because I have some protection and yet do not feel like I am in a cave; which is how some view sitting in rows 5-13.

I just don't know how anyone can enjoy the view from the cave especially from say row 7 on back when it gets really bad and you see about 10% of what is occurring.

Since Bruce Allen assumed the mantle of GM this off season I am judging him based on this off season.In fairness its only one year in and so I guess it warrants another year before being replaced. But as GM he's isn't off to a good start.Mistakes:o Hiring a HC that appears to have given up on developing the franchise QB after ~20 quartersi am willing to stomach losing a potential franchise QB IF the HC proves to be a winnero Retaining of Jim Hasletto Franchising Orakpo (and the consequent trickle down effect)o Inability to address/upgrade FS/SSo Shaun Lauvaoo Andre Roberts

The Orakpo decision is the one that hurts in my mind.......but there was no perfect answer there. We made our bed by hoping the line getting after QB's to help the secondary and he was a major piece of thinking that would work. Is easy to criticize now but I honestly feel there was no perfect answer and he and the team knew it........a bunch of articles at the time on the subject that they were going back and forth. The Orakpo deal likely kept us from getting more safety help, but the starting safeties have not been the problem during the key points of the season.

Aside from an additional player or two we might have gotten if the Orakpo deal was not done I don't see this years problems as Allen's......there were just to many needs to fill. Also for as much tough talk as Gruden's done his ability all year to get the most out of all his players has been really disappointing.

Me and the little one.
