Six things to consider if you're contemplating seppuku.

4) There are several poo-your-pants-awesome positives. Barnidge, anyone? The man is a monster. He's working with the first team, he's making receptions, he's getting open deep against hapless safties and linebackers. He's going to be one of Delhomme's favorite targets. Speaking of Delhomme... why hasn't anyone mentioned this guy's stats? He's thrown for over two hundred yards this preseason. That's a joke compared to the Bradys and the Mannings out there, but he's been efficient, mostly un-used (Triple Trouble was going to be my next point) and certainly far from the post-season disaster he was in January.

5) Jeremy Leman. He doesn't come close to deserving his own separate point, but he makes me spill my beer and yell when i watch games, so there you go.

This

Many people thought delhomme played a good game against baltimore

but you haven't heard much tonight because he threw only a handful of passes and it's not a performance that anybody is going to breakdown in that situation

it's not even so much his numbers, which aren't impressive taken by themselves. It's his numbers versus what everyone feared they would be.

I think scherer will have been one of the best offseason additions to the coaching staff if jake parlays this into gametime performances.

The only problem I have with #2 is that if we're playing vanilla, then so are...they. We rev it up for a regular game, so will...they. We bring more agression, so will...they. I think what's at the heart of most doom and gloomers problems is just that...heart. I think they should show it in the preseason and for the most part they did not.

I was at work and saw only a few plays.

1)Leman - Tackle for loss.

2)Leman - Forces fumble.

3)Leman - Recovers fumble.

4)Leman - With another tackle.

And then we take him out, there goes the wind out of my sails. This is the kinda guy we need running down on special teams. Oh, I forgot Landon Johnson, there goes that wind again.

Hey, that seppuku stuff hurts...I'm just going to have some extra beers in the fridge on hand on game day for a little while.

vanilla on the opponents? hardly... pittsburgh was running reverses, miami was running flea-flickers and complicated wildcat options, baltimore got tricky... the only "vanilla" team out there was new york.

fine guys, we wont win a game you talked everyone into it way to go you are a success. im glad our player havent quit before the season started, just think of how you doom and gloomers would act if our team was full of people just like you. o it would be a show for sure. What exactly to you get from pulling for a team that you think sucks so bad every year. go watch golf or something.

[Happy Panther]

go watch golf or something.

Nah Tiger sucks

No, that's what Pittsburgh and Miami normally do. That was their vanilla version of those things. Stop acting like they were trying harder than we were, it makes you look like the worst type of homer.

Now, were they playing with more heart? I'll give you that.

i didn't mention effort in my post, i mentioned scheme. you may have a case for miami there - they're very gimmicky - but not pittsburgh. And make a concentrated argument against the rest of my points before labeling me a homer

I think you missed the obvious number 7 reason

7. Carolina isn't owned by Al Davis.

That's enough to make me smile and laugh at the Raiders.
