I agree, Lou's Defenses relied on turnovers at just the right time to even get into our one Super Bowl against the Rams.
The next AFC Championship our Defense let us down because it couldn't get the turnovers. Cannot rely on this.
Have to have fundamentally good Defense.

Figured you were.
Our Offense wasn't really good in the Playoffs and our Defense I know did enough the one SB season to get there but we can do better.
If our passing Offense is like last years or better and our Defense is top 10 this team can beat anyone, even the Eagles.

You'd still have people who would complain that the front office is cheap, and they got lucky.
If some people didn't have something to complain and be negative about we wouldn't know what to do lol
I agree 100%.

And if people don't think these things wouldn't be posted here within a week of a SB win, then I have some prime swamp land in FL to sell them. Waterfront real estate.

Right. Because those 1, 2 or maybe even 3 people matter so much that we need to focus on them.

This also describes Mike Zimmers defense. “Bend but don’t break”
Two defenses that fooled people into thinking Eli Apple and Terrance Newman (post Cowboys) were good.

Some people are just negative, nothing will help them. Rfaulk has a damn good reason to be negative with this FO.
I've been here since 1968, and I'm not negative. Sure, there were some bad times, but I don't let them ruin the good times by dwelling on the past.

They say it's even better when a wealthy buddy passes it out on the golf course, like Kool Aid at a kid's birthday party.
Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations

I guess I missed the most offensive post that got him banned. I wish that when someone was banned the offending post would be shown so we would know the infraction.

I love my bourbon, but I have yet to want it on a golf course in 90+ degree weather. Beer, sure. Margaritas, sure. Bourbon... not so much.

Very weak stuff for someone I respect as a moderator and others to go after a board member who was suspended. Don't we have rules against attacking board members? In this case, they can't defend themselves because they were suspended.
These types of posts quit being funny a long time. Be better.

Never cared for them or all the salt some of them come with.
I debated deleting that post because I knew someone was going to take the pedo angle on it, haha.

Nothing wrong with enjoying a drink some men might label as too much of a woman's drink. Keep on keeping on with the margaritas. I also approve of a man having a mixed vodka drink, fruity drinks, and beer that is light in color.

Your right, though I've never considered a margarita a woman's drink. When I think of that I think of grasshoppers, lemon drops, etc. But if someone defines their manhood by what they drink, that's their issue. I like Margarita's in the summer. Bourbon in the winter. Beer all year long. And when I'm in Florida, it's Rum Runner time.
