    NFL 2019 Season: It's Tricky!

    Pats defense played like crap last night. Offense made mistakes too, but the biggest issue was the defense, they couldn't get the ravens off the field, best way to beat the pats, keep brady on the sideline. Ravens played great. Which is why I've been saying wait til after the "meat of the...

    Archery - As a Hobby

    The thumb grip draw works especially well for eastern style shooting. The way you grip the arrow forces the arrow against the bow, unlike the finger draw which would do the opposite, which is why western style does the arrow opposite. The paradox is there though. Friends son who is a marine is...

    I'm 53, my school -as best as i can remember- didn't use a number line. we did flash cards of addition and...the tables and i never realized that about the nine multiplication table, for me simple math is easy. takes maybe 2 seconds for me to do any of the basic math stuff (up to 12x12) i...

    oh not seeing him(emperor) leaving is easy to "handwave" the ship was behind the explosion = we never saw the transport ship/shuttle/whatever or he just jumped to light speed while inside the ships bay with the ship's nose pointing out the docking port. again, i think it is silly to bring him...

    Are you smarter than a 4th grader?

    the teacher for my kids told me they DIDN'T want the kids to memorize the tables. i go why? you explain the basic concept of multiplication that is "you take X and add it together Y times" 10 x 10 is 10+10... =100 then you take the tables and have they DO multiplication tables for homework it...

    NFL 2019 Season: It's Tricky!

    IT'LL BE interesting to see how it all plays out though. currently everyone is blowing the pats defense because what they have done=excluding special teams - hasn't been done RECENTLY- IF and that is a big IF, the pat's defense remains this good, it will be one of the best ever comparable to...

    you know it's funny, the patriots are 6-0 and i think they are the worst 6-0 team ever. i LOVE the patriots, but they have not been tested on defense once yet this year. Looking at the upcoming schedule for both the patriots AND the bills; it is conceivable that the BILLS could finish with a...

    NFL 2019 Season: It's Tricky!

    That system tag gets me. Name a quarterback in the nfl CURRENTLY that is not in a "SYSTEM"? Every team has a system. Every single one. Brady's offense changes weekly. One week it could be run 80% pass 20, next week the opposite, the next 50/50 the one thing that doesn't change IS the QB.

    in regards to the pats bill game yesterday. i thought the bills defense was very good, their offense still needs a LOT of work. esp the quarterback play needs to be "faster" he looked lost out there. unless injuries screw up their season, i think the bills make the playoffs this year...

    I've used the thumb exclusively for the past 4 months and love it. It is no harder or easier than wrist for shooting. One thing it can do is. . Sit nocked on your bow while you wait. Wrist you cannot without holding the bow. Personal preference. I might retry the wrist, but when I was checking...

    pats will probably be 8-0 going into week 9. like i said above weeks 9-14 are the "meat"(tough part) of their schedule. IF they make it thru to week 15 undefeated, then the dream will be achieved. personally i doubt they'll make it to 13-0 but you never know. and as an aside, if they go...
