MillvilleWx Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Eagles would have been the team to do it, but with Wentz out, who knows.I have a ton of friends from school who are Eagles fans. I was pulling for Wentz. I really like him. I hope you guys can get it together. Anyone and I mean ANYONE but NE . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDstorm Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Embarrassing loss for the Ravens. Now we can listen to Harbaugh spin things in his post-game comments. I’m sure that he will say that he is proud of his team...the team played their hearts out in brutal conditions...they fought back from an early deficit.... only a handful of plays decided the game...blah, blah, blah. In most professional fields, what the Ravens produced in the end today was malpractice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhineasC Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 I'm what you might call an old-timer on these boards. Been around since the early 2000s. I will just say I have seen many of these young, crappy, motor-mouth posters get better and many of the posters now considered at least solid started out as rank weenies hated by most.

87storms Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 this is seriously an unusual cold snap for this area. if we don't get a significant event during this time i don't know if i'll be surprised, but i'll certainly be a little disappointed.

Issue is extreme cold. If I remember correctly, in the Feb 2015 cold snap, we scored on nearly every storm, with many happening during reloads of the pattern. Feb 15-16, Feb 21st, March 5th, and a couple more I forget. It's harder to score on every opportunity here, especially since the patterns aren't the same.

I'm not as knowledgeable as many others on this board, and I of course can easily get hyped by nearly every event. I've stopped half of what I did, such as posting a series of Ensemble breakdowns during the night, since as I learned with last Friday's event, ensembles mean very little at long range. I'll start condensing posts and all, but I completely agree that my string of posts are cluttering other great posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just interested in the cold that follows the "storm" atm. A sub-zero at IAD would be nice . Though we probably end up on the positive side of the single digits. Any-who, WOO COLD.

MillvilleWx Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Apparently Pees is going to retire, so Harbaugh is off the hook on him. Still would not mind a new head coach.We honestly need a new coach too. There’s two big knacks I have on Harbaugh. The first is loyalty to guys who just flat out suck as coordinators and he can’t just let go. Marty should have never stepped foot on this team. He has a history of mediocrity and he’s not good at all. I hated that pick for OC from get go. Dean Pees is just horrible in clutch with play calling. In 3 years, we have seen more blown games on defense than the entire previous decade before it. Yeah, Ray and Ed help, but there’s easy adjustments that even fans see that should’ve happened and Pees just gets super soft. Very frustrating to watch. The second thing I hate about Harbaugh is the bs coach speak after every damn game. Same crap, over and over and over and .... you get the point. I’ve actually remembered some of his same talking points from all his press conferences. He did it again tonight too! “We fought hard and there was a few plays that ended up being a big part of the loss. We fought back from being down...” Just straight crap. We played like garbage in first half and went soft again on defense in the 4th. We let off gas and didn’t try to score again and went conservative with running and then Flacco throws a bs incomplete pass to stop clock instead of just eating it and falling down to run more clock. That’s on Flacco. It is unbelieveable that a vet QB even does that. Just incredibly frustrating from draft with no offensive mindset to now blowing our playoff chances once again late in the game. This time at home with same soft bs defense. We must be masochists to keep doing the same old crap every year. It has to change. End RantBring on 2018!!!.

Even 1" of powdery snow on the ground would be pretty cool, since with the wind gusts, I would assume we would see a whole lotta ground blizzards. Also, there's nothing to track whatsoever, so why not track a storm that's still within range? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
