  1. Let me start by saying that game was an abomination, and I'm not happy with it in any sense...I'm just looking for something to keep me from crawling in a bourbon bottle every Saturday this fall... Assuming Casey continues to show his game-time skills, there are some positive outcomes: - we have no QB controversy. - we have Casey starting, who seems to have a better grasp of how to handle things then the bullets start flying (as someone described it above). - we have Card as second string, and everyone (Card, players, boosters, fans) knows he isn't ready yet. So we get to keep both QBs, get to start the one who gives us a better chance now, and get to keep the one who has the higher ceiling for later.
  2. First half was not pretty. Saul seemed to be taking some time to acclimate to the team/tactics/league/something. The result was that we didn't seem to have any control of the middle of the pitch. Saul came off for the second half, and the game turned beautiful. Lukaku's two goals were fantastic in different ways - the first to make the defender sail by with a fake shot turn, the second with a stunning, unstoppable shot to the top left. Kovacic stole an ugly back pass and slotted it in for his in between. Mendy was fantastic, and was bailed out by the defenders when he was once out of position...
  3. That. Was. Beautiful. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  4. In season 1, I looked forward to the next episode because I knew a great episode was coming out. In season 2, I look forward to Friday because I hope a great episode is coming out. I still like this show (and love the Roy character)...but it has lost some consistency, IMO.
  5. I have no issues with the knife...but the cutting board *is* damn annoying...
  6. This right here. They both seemed more concerned about saying something "clever", rather than actually calling the game.
  7. Brisket (1 part salt, 2 parts pepper...225...wrap & rest when probes ready)...done *way* too early, today, so had to wrap & keep warmed for ~5 hours. Still came out pretty good...
  8. Happy to get away with a point after that shit. Also, i didn't see a replay of the last scuffle that got Mendy a yellow...anyone happen to catch it?
  9. To steal the ancient Surly wisdom: The cut of your jib. I like it.
  10. *shrug* That's probably fair. I wasn't whining in the sense that I thought this was the greatest stacking in history, or that I was scared of them...more a bit of jealousy and a reflection of the "damnit, why didn't we get Haaland" situation. If we could get half the attacking results, that those 3 may get this year...
  11. - I like Tammy, and wish him well - but I'm glad he won't be against us in the EPL. - as a Chelsea and Norwich fan, can't wait to see Gilmour killing it this year. - I wish Kounde would hurry up and happen. The longer these pursuits go on, the less luck we seem to have in closing them out... - /whining Neymar, Messi, and Mbappe on one club doesn't seem fair.
  12. agreed. I like Lukaku...but was really hoping for Haaland.
  13. Either A&M is trying to kill this deal by leaking it, or...this deal is a complete fabrication, and A&M is pushing it so that we look bad when the SEC "doesn't want us". Would sure love to see something official from the UT side...
  14. So much respect for Giroud. Not much more to say there. Please let us get Haaland. If we can take advantage of just 10% more of our created chances, we'll be damn near unstoppable...
  15. And, I'm afraid, a sign that Norwich will continue their rubber-banding, and are looking at relegation at the end of next season...
  16. Tuchel, Giroud, Silva extended... https://www.espn.com/soccer/chelsea-engchelsea/story/4398572/chelsea-manager-thomas-tuchel-signs-new-long-term-deal-until-2024 The Giroud move surprises me a bit...
  17. Do we believe Lukaku is really not an option anymore?
  18. Man, what a day. Tuchel is the real deal. Kante is a beast. Interesting post-game analysis about how Werner creates so much space for others because of his runs. But talk about heart and determination...I lost count of how many blue defenders came sliding from halfway across the field to save us. Amazing. Just amazing...
  19. Great to have Mendy & Kante after the start of the week... Would be a great time for Timo to remember his finishing skills...
  20. Is there something in the water in London that will turn him back into the Hazard from 2+ years back?
  21. Glad we held on. Also, I would not square off against Rudiger...or Mendy...lol
  22. Thanks for sharing the highlights vid - that was fantastic! Mendy is a beast, for sure. Looks like we had a lot of opportunities to score even more. Hate that pink kit, btw...
