Grimm did an outstanding job.

Rice was okay

Little was outstanding. I'm sure very few of the posters on THN remember him. He was the stud of the late 60's and early to mid 70's. He retired the year I graduated from High School. I was impressed with his speech, his class, his family, his son...the real question is, what took so long for the Hall to vote him in? Guess winning Super Bowls is how you get in.

I'm sure E. Smith will make no sense.

I walked away and came back a half hour later and he was still droning on.

I walked away too. Couldn't stand to hear him praising Jerry Jones.

I find it amazing that even the HOF doesn't realize how important the OLine is -- have they voted any of the Oline in from Dallas' glory days?

They did vote in Grimm, even thought not first ballot but how could they continue to say Grimm wasn't one of the main reasons we won 3 Super Bowls?

That's what happens when you have media people making the selections.

Exactly... the HOF selection committee should be composed of a number of HOF members, and Welch.

I could not watch any of the HOF weekend becasue of E. Smith.

I did watch the first couple series of the game. It was a bit sobering to see how good Dallas looks. I hate them so much.

Please, it was the 1st pre-season game, and they were playing the Bungles in front of a Dallas crowd there to see Emmitt get inducted.

I am not panicing - just a little sobered. It was the first football we've seen and the pukes looked good.

I'm with cleg here. They have good depth at a lot of positions and we know what they'r ecapable of during hte normal season. Don't let hatred for a rival cloud critical judgment.

I don't think I am. I see it more as the Bungles played poorly, rather than the Pies played so well.

Preseason is just... awful.

but those big bad cows only put up 3 points with that 'prolific' offense. I see flaws.. flaws that only us Skins fans can see :wink:

3 points they were given by an iffy call of lined up in the neutral zone on the fumble play.
