I was only half-listening when they addressed that after the game. The last time a TE had a TD that long was in 1972 or 1974 by, I believe, Richard Caster.Now I'm thinking of e-mailing every other owner to see what I can get for Miller.
I might be in the same league as youAre you starting him tonight with the putrid Charlie Batch in for Ben at QB? :XIf not, who are you benching him in favor of? I'm sticking with Miller, as my only other option is Denver's Tony Scheffler. I think the kid has a lot of potential, but he's not getting into my starting lineup until he shows it to me in a real game.Let's Play Some Ball.....
whos your starting qb this week?Yea, it really ticked me off. I'm facing him in one of my leagues. It's like I know I'm going to lose by less than six points now all because Saban didn't get the challenge off earlier. Or at the very least throw it like he has a sack.
ritalin anyone?obviously ive been hitting the pelinkovac a little too hard tonight.-biz-
explain please? batch is actually a pretty stand-up guy, does alot for the local inner city community (recently distributed backbacks to lower S.E.S. kids). its pretty common knowledge to most, but he is a hometown boy(steel valley high school).racist isnt really a cool word to throw around.-biz-
DittoI benched Miller for Ben Troupe.....I better get a TD now from Troupe
He also completely ignored Kevin Curtis. Guy is a scumbag.
I played against him too. Don't worry about it. The season is long and you still could come back and win this week anyway. It's way to early to be bummed... football is back!!
im not sure about that. if you have heap/shockey/gates as your #1, do you still play miller? i do, but i like having guys to watch, especially after the layoff. if you have miller/troupe or miller/LJ, then maybe its overthinking.id hate to think my personal dilemma of heap/watson will come down to "overthinking", but its practically a lock that i start the wrong guy.-biz-
What...you doubt it? You really don't think Miller can improve by 350 and 4 from last year? He's pretty much the #3 WR and Big Ben loves throwing to the guy.yeah, 800 and 10 will not be unreachable
This is insanity!Good Lord.... guys talking about wishing they had started Miller over The Big Three..... guys talking about wanting to trade Gonzo for Miller. C'mon, people... get a grip.bizkliz said:im not sure about that. if you have heap/shockey/gates as your #1, do you still play miller? i do, but i like having guys to watch, especially after the layoff. if you have miller/troupe or miller/LJ, then maybe its overthinking.War Eagle said:Shiver44 said:
OK, take away the touchdown.....90+ yards.....seems like #1TE production to me!This is insanity!Good Lord.... guys talking about wishing they had started Miller over The Big Three..... guys talking about wanting to trade Gonzo for Miller.

Before the "touchdown," he had exactly 12 yards receiving. It should not have been a touchdown, and Saban admitted that it was a big time blown coverage on the play. Hell, I actually thought about starting Tony Scheffler over Miller for a little while.
Reality check, please.
I guess I really will shop Miller around now, given all of this overreaction.
You and every other person. I mean come on... even a squirrel finds a nut once in a while.I received an email this morning in one of my leagues..."Miller Available for the right price..... Anyone need at top 5 TE. Lets talk trade"Guppy move IMO. Ill give ya a half eaten bag of cool ranch doritos for miller.Shiver44 said:
When did I say to "take away" anything?OK, take away the touchdown.....90+ yards.....seems like #1TE production to me!90 a week * 16 games = damn goodThis is insanity!Good Lord.... guys talking about wishing they had started Miller over The Big Three..... guys talking about wanting to trade Gonzo for Miller.

The point is...you can't say "take away" anything. It's in the books, done. Take away Favre's 29 ints last year and he was great! Take away Hines Ward TD last night and he stunk! Take away Ronnie's 2 TDs and he sucked.
Even without the TD Miller was the leading WR of both teams. You don't need 100 catches to produce. All he's got to do is maximize the opportunities he gets. Example 1 - 87 YARDS TO DA HOUSE!
All I said was, "before the touchdown, he had exactly 12 yards receiving", meaning:
By saying that, you in effect took away everything POST the 2 catches for 12 yards.I definitely saw Batch look his way 3-4 times prior to the 87 yarder. Plus Batch is NOT Big Ben. Big Ben knows where Miller is at all times. PLUS Miami was getting through the Pitt line early, so thye started keeping Miller in as a blocker.When did I say to "take away" anything?OK, take away the touchdown.....90+ yards.....seems like #1TE production to me!90 a week * 16 games = damn goodThis is insanity!Good Lord.... guys talking about wishing they had started Miller over The Big Three..... guys talking about wanting to trade Gonzo for Miller.

- He evidently wasn't a big part of the gameplan, and the big play was the result of one of the worst blown coverages you'll ever see. Can you count on that happening every week?
Where to start.....
