I'm one hour ahead of you (Bristol, S.W.England). I've stayed up for late matches before, but going to bed at four thirty in the morning is (as you say) a pain. It's easier if you are retired, and can sleep till 11 or 12 though. I'm in Bilbao, Spain, same timezone as those cities, even though geographically we should be in the same timezone as you. I spent the summer of '15 working there in Bristol - I didn't get to see much of the city though, my hotel was close to the client's offices up north in Bradley Stoke and we rarely had time to get a cab and visit downtown. In fact I think I only went twice - once for some quick shopping when the airline lost my luggage and another to have dinner at Steak of the Art (the client recommended it to us). That zone around the restaurant was nice for a little walk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneTwoSixFive Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Ah, so the ESP part of your sig doesn't stand for Extra Sensory Perception.....................but ESPana. The city (Bristol) is always busy, interesting, and in the centre rather grubby. I can only claim to have visited the Catalan area (Barcelona) on the Spanish east coast, which deserves re-visiting, for the art (I love some of the Gaudi exotica), I've never been along the north coast. The most spectacular storm I've ever watched was when parked up high in the Pyrenees (on the way down to Spain) and watching it sweep in towards me. I was about 10 at the time.

The refs first and foremost. The sloppy play by everyone. The HC being a dolt. The Brewers chasing a WS. All adds up to my interest just not being on the level it usually is.

Problem is it was probably the best team we have played coming off a bye...which is why I used it as a comparison to the Rams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacReady Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Rams/Broncos are almost identical in their makeup to when they destroyed us that year, too. They even have the same defensive coordinator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the 2018 Rams could not be more different than the 2015 Broncos. The Rams have an explosive, explosive offense with a dynamic young QB, head coach, RB, and WRs and have won their last 2 contests even while giving >30 points in each game. The D has a few stars who make plays, but with Talib down that D can be scored on early and often. As for the 2015 Broncos, they had the corpse of Peyton Manning at QB and a defense that gave up <15 points per game in the playoffs and only 17.1 during the regular season. I don't think there is any question that the Rams are going to score on the Packers in 2 weeks, but can the Packers doing enough scoring themselves?

Crazy. https://t.co/R6kIeH3EnI When the Packers came out for the second half of the Lions game, McCarthy was dead set on passing the ball on almost every play in hopes of overcoming a four-score deficit. The Packers ran 35 passing plays and just six runs in the final 30 minutes, and not surprisingly given their one-dimensional attack, the Packers could not put the ball in the end zone enough to win the game. Yes Tom, it was the one dimensional thing and not at all the 4 score thing that keep the Packers from taking back that lead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FFS, we scored touchdowns on three straight drives to open the second half and missed a FG that would have made it a one-score game. The frustrating thing about these writers is there are so many valid things you could say to critique the Packers this year without completely embarrassing yourself.

Packerraymond Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Why can't people grasp that Williams is one of the best pass blocking backs in the NFL and TyMon is a WR? When we're in pass only mode Jones is a clear #3 to Mac, and it's not overly difficult to see why. I bet if it's 24-14 in our favor in the 3rd on MNF, we'll see a bunch of Jones. I think he's probably the preferred back in situations where we either have to run or can be balanced. He isn't when we're in pass mode. It really isn't hard to grasp.

squire12 Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 How many plays did Detroit bring an extra rusher in the 2nd half? With Rodgers at QB, don't you want a defense to bring extra rushers to open up passing options? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Said there was a lot of guys back in coverage all game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
