On to the Giants

Post by RaiderandBulldog »

Two week away from this season being over. With another terrible team coming to town.

It's scary to think we could miss out on a QB again, but we do have to remember that this team is really capable of sucking. I hope we don't dress anyone who missed a practice this week...... if you can't practice every day, then you should sit out a game that we're better off losing. And there's also zero reason to bring Miller back from IR.

For starters, I saw Jimi Hendrix twice (when I was 16 and 17 years old_, also Janis Joplin, The Band, The Dead, The Who, Quicksilver, Moby Grape (for you who really know that period), and more. I failed to see Led Zeppelin because their recordings had a ton of double and triple-tracked songs which I knew could not be reproduced in person. Kind of a lame reason, but it's true. However, I really got into them the last 20 years, a lot of because of a group I have seen a number of times -- Get The Led Out - a truly excellent tribute band (try them out, as they tour the country year-round). I like Plant's voice. It is not raspy and his range is fantastic. I cannot stand Rush's voice but of course, I admire Neil Pert's drumming (he is often the #1 rated drummer in polls). Also, I cannot stand the voice of AC/DC's Johnson. For me, it ruins the great energy and guitar playing they have.

I am old (74) and biased but -- the greatest band that has ever existed is The Beatles. Song after song, album after album, they did it. They, like Mozart and Beethoven, will be listened to long after we are gone.

We could very easily miss out on the QB, we are favored only because of the "homefield advantage" but we are still favored. Next week we could very easily be favored again. It is rare for two third string QBs to go up against each other. Ours is just a bit better.

Priest was formed in 69'. Their debut album was 74'.

I liked the Stones and my older brother and sister liked the Beatles. May as well been Cripps vs Bloods in our house. Beatles did Jack and shit for me.

Gimme Ozzy, Sabbath, Maiden, Montrose, Hagar and Deep Purple all day

I view Tool as the Zeppelin of the 2000's. What a great band.

The line moved once Bowers went on IR. We are not +1 against the giants according to the app I use. Still basically a push.

If we are able to get Maxx out of the lineup I’d feel much more confident (and the line would probably swing a lot more)

If we did that do you think that would put us under a microscope for the league about tanking?

My mom said the best concert she went to was the stones in Anaheim in the 70s.

Yes but if he came out in the second quarter with knee soreness I think we’d be good.

I think 13 pass attempts all game last week for Dart is a bit suspect.

I don't think sitting a guy who was DNP on Wednesday and Thursday can be penalized. Even if he wants to play - there are plenty of guys who always want to play and the team has to sit them against their will even when the team wants to win games.

You can show yourself out, door is over there. "In through the Out Door" as it were.

For me, Stained Class was their best.
