Feierabend is not Silva, thus he is better.
I see the future. I see cake.

Feierabend can get consecutive outs without imploding therefore he is better

Feierabend is not that terrible (he can miss some bats), and unlike Silva he has upside

But Silva is a perfectly good #4 or #5 guy, and that's what Feierabend's upside is
thus, his upside is a left-handed, cheaper, bigger nosed Carlos Silva

I don't think Silva right now is anything close to a perfectly good #4/5
Maybe at the start of the year, he was. Maybe next year he’ll be, after his acute suckitis heals up during the offseason. But not now.

Back spasms never seem to happen in any other sports.
I was at Shea for the Felix-Slam!
Personal M's record: 5-4.

You notice all the starters suffering from the worst cases of 'suck' are getting stricken?
Just seems like a funny coincidence, what with all the young arms around and available. Just once I’d like to hear a manager around here come right out and say “he sucks, I’m sitting his ass down”. Then again, maybe it’s back spasms.

I watch entire season all at once on DVD.
I imagine it would be pretty amusing to read your comments along with the episode. DO IT!.

Special teams nightmare, Burleson knee injury, missed hold calls, bad coaching.

And a blowout loss to the Buffalo Bills
The Bills, collectively, are maybe two steps up from the Dolphins.

The Bills were 7-9 last year and may win 10 games this year with their offseason pickups.
However, we shouldn’t have lost. Also, the game was closer than it looked—up until the end of the 3rd quarter it was close then some fluky special teams plays made it a blowout.
I’m not worried, in 2005 we lost the season opener to a Jacksonville team that was on the rise. Emulating 2005 is not a bad idea.

The Seahaws never had a prayer
It was close in the sense that the Cougars survived the first quarter against OSU close.

No, it was reasonably close up until the third, when special teams decided to shit all over themselves.

Yeah I saw
But they way they were playing there was no reason to expect them to make up the difference barring some sort of bevy of turnovers.

Meh, the defense was really strong and Hass was starting to find some rhythm in the 2nd half.

He seems to be hitting Carlson well.

Taylor dropped 2, Putzier dropped 3, Kent dropped 1, Payne dropped 1 or 2 and fumbled one.
Those were all on the receivers. Hass looks a lot better at 24 or 25-41 than 17-41. I don’t see Payne or Putzier being back next week, since Carlson did so well.

Bingo.
Hass had some bad passes, but he was no where near as bad as the 17-41 seems to indicate.

Yeah, 20-7 at half with a flat offense
Even though 2 TDs is generally an overcomeable deficit, it wasn’t looking good.

THey came out firing in the 2nd half then got penaltied to shit.
I still am not at all worried about the Hawks. I can’t see them winning any less than 10 games, and they’ll take the division again.

Yeah, this division still makes them the default leader
Good god, the Rams and Niners are awful. The only worry is that the Cards finally pull their heads out of their asses this season.

The Cards don't worry me. We're still a good team with an easy schedule. 13-3 is not impossible.
In fact John Morgan is a fairly unbiased analyst and he thinks we’ll win 13.

Well now the Seahawks have to go 13-2
With next to no healthy receivers, a questionable ability to tackle and to execute the playbook, and hope nobody else gets hurt.
Yeah.

One of the commentators was talking after the game,
saying that the Niners were the absolute best team in the West. After shitting myself and nearly spitting pino grigio all over my television set, I went outside and tried to burn myself to death. The apocalypse is now, people.

Exactly. 10 points we could've come back from, even 13.
Then they had the fake FG TD, and the kickoff fumble to make it ridiculously laughable.

That is true, and that to me was all Logan Payne's over aggressiveness and shitty tackling.
So there’s 21 points given up by Special Teams, essentially. Very fluky, especially since fumble recoveries are mostly luck.
We still played uninspired enough to lose, but I don’t believe that’s our true talent level at all.

Roscoe Parrish is a beast
He’s maybe just a step below Devin Hester. The Seahawks helped him with shitty tackling, but I’m not too surprised he broke one.

I still think the Seahawks are the better team. Holmgren coached like shit today, and it was Hasselbeck's first action in over a month.
Bad games happen. The Hawks still have far more talent than Buffalo.

Losing this game is not a good sign, however, even if the circumstances were a bit flukish.

The Bills are much thinner and crappier than that 7-9 record shows
This should have been a win even with poor play.

Not really--they have depth--8-8 is probably baseline for them, though yes we should've won.
