You're really taking things too far Ill and frankly I don't appreciate someone insinuating that certain conversations aren't welcomed and there are unwritten rules here. That really flies in the face of what this site is all about.

All I said was the Ramsey talk is getting tired... I never said you can't talk about this, or you can't talk about that. I never said all talk regarding Ramsey is hereby banned from the board. That's what I would call rules.

Even the admin and mods are entitled to having their own opinions, but twisting that in to we're trying to tell you what you can and can't talk about is a very strong accusation and something I really do not appreciate.

listen, i thought so too. but as an active poster, this is what it's felt like recently. just look back on this thread, even the mere mention of the R word as response to someone else started this furor, so what was taken out of context? of course mods and admins can have opinions, but there's been direct dismissal of others from you guys that's hardly welcoming, and as site authorities, it's just encouraged people taking even more aggressive positions.

it shouldn't matter if ppl speculate about ramsey. it's only slightly less warranted then any fan opinion. as for the game. i thought that the game was very well played by the offense. though we did complete a bunch of 3rd and longs, i'd have rather seen more 3rd and shorts out there but clearly i'll take it.

and like some people have been saying; the closeness of the game at the end was more of the defense bending a bit than anything. good play-calling really tired out a good SEA offense. they arent the best team out there but it was a great win.

MTK · 10-03-2005, 10:08 AM

There's plenty of other sites out there you know. I suggest checking some of them out and then comparing it to what you have here.

illdefined · 10-03-2005, 10:15 AM

I thought I was familiar with this site, was a member since long before the big server quake in '03 and you switched to vbulletin. that's why im surprised.

MTK · 10-03-2005, 10:35 AM

Surprised at what? That someone has a differing opinion??

Once again, nobody told you that you're not allowed to discuss something. There are no rules regarding discussion topics. Never has been, never will be.

We can talk about Ramsey until we're blue in the face if that's what makes people happy. I don't care. Will I say I'm tired of hearing about it, yeah probably, but that's just my opinion, it's not me hinting that discussion of that nature is not allowed. If you think differently, I guess we'll have to agree to disagree. But if you've been here for any length of time I'd think you would know what we're all about here. Again, if you disagree, oh well. There's always other sites like hailredskins or thehogs.net. Two sites that I highly recommend.

12TH MAN, that was the best post i have seen all season. you are 100% correct. We have played all thee games, and have been tested in different situations. And are growing as team. I dont care who's fault the int was, the fact is our conversion rate was good, by the first half we owned the hawks. And frankly I think the offense finally bailed us out of a game instead of the defense doing so. God knows the deffense deserved it. Brunell has proved that he is not over the hill yet. He may not be 100% of what he was, but with talent spread out like we have do we need a manning as a QB? I dont think so just someone to lead the team and avoid making costly mistakes throughout the season. As for the Denver game being a real test. IMO I disagree, no one is making any fuss over Denver right now, and even though we are getting bad press we are still getting press becuase everyone said after dallas and Chicago that maybe gibbs shouldnt have come out of retirement, now they have to keep digging in till they find a miracle that has happened to explain why they were wrong about him. Denver will be a tough game cause we are still growing but I think Portis needs a big game so Moss doesnt keep stealing the highlight reels, and Denver might be the place for him to do it.

Good Post! One of the things I hadn't thought about (I'm still enjoying the win) is Portis former association with Denver. That should be a powerful motivator for him to kick some ass. The defense has to be stoked about the offense looking like an offense. They also played less yesterday with Gibbs ball control game plan. You know those big ol' dudes love that

Are you saying he hasen't been motivated up till now?

I don't care how motivated he is, it's irrelevent if we don't force defenders from stacking the box.

I am curious you don't believe the entire denver team will more motivated to stop Portis being he left them because he felt he was the reason they were so good at running the ball?

You don't think Bailey will be motivated to shut down our passing game, although I don't know how motivated you have to be to do that?

Remember the air is awfully thin at mile high!

That's ............ah............alot of conclusions/questions from a rather innocent remark. To address, 1) I do believe he has shown motivation to this point. I also believe any performance can be eclipsed given the proper environment 2) Irrelevant is pretty strong talk. Our passing game is taking shape and proving to be effective. It will greatly aid in said prevention, and asundry box stacking. 3) Are you asking me if I believe the entire Denver roster will be lining up opposite Portis, with coaching staff? No I don't believe that will happen. If it does, Poor, poor Clinton. 4) Bailey, ain't no Darryl Green! Finally, the air is getting pretty thin here as well!

Just addressing your so called conclusions predicated on nothing more than unrealistic thought, that's all.

Our passing game is taking shape? We had a nice game, NICE, Ray Rhodes is the defensive coordinator for Seattle I wouldn't get to worked up about it.

Denver is the real test.

We're 3-0 with Brunell, and thats all that should matter.

We're 3-0 with the playcalling and thats all that should matter.

We're 3-0 after beating Chicago, Dallas, and Seattle, and thats all that should matter.

WE ARE 3-0!!!!! It has been 14 YEARS since we were 3-0!!! Lets enjoy this while it lasts....
