What you posted just summarized about three pages of threads over the last couple weeks. Most of everything you said was discussed. It was surprising to me to see the team actually play better on offense without Nicks in there. I was also surprised w/ the defense who pretty much did a good job for the first two quarters, but then almost self destructed the second half. I'm sure teams on our schedule will find our weaknesses, so hopefully Coach S and Co will tweak the team even more to keep the competition off balance.
Sorry to hear about your struggles w/ Mother Nature. Hope every returns to a state of normalcy for you soon.
I live about 50 miles north of Philly. Flooding wasn't and issue in this area. We only got a couple of inches of rain and my house is at a high elevation. The big problem was wind damage to utility lines from falling trees. There was a lot of damage to homes and cars from falling limbs and whole trees. I had one tree block my driveway, but that was good. My driveway is 900+ feet long and it's lined with trees all the way. I was lucky. My wife works as an electrician in Manhattan. She couldn't get there until Thursday. Everything is good for us now, but there are a lot of people who are a long way from being normal any time soon. The really sad thing is, many will rebuild where they were and destined to have it happen all over again. People don't heed the warnings. All of those boats around NYC could have been saved had they been relocated up the Hudson River. People had plenty of warning and time to evacuate, and they've seen it over and over again. Life is too precious to risk like that.
For three hours yesterday afternoon, I was able to forget about everything thanks to the Bucs. I know some on this board live in Jersey and New York. I'd be curious to know how they fared.
