Seeing Hooker was never going to take the offensive, Lee pulled two more Divisions, those of South Carolinian RH Anderson and Georgian Lafayette McLaws from in front of Hooker and led them himself against Sedgwick in conjunction with Jubal Early. It was to be a day of frustration for Lee, as he could not prod McLaws forward and get the 3 division attack going. Sedgwick withdrew over Banks’ Ford when he lost Marye’s Heights to Early.(Early had a great battle.)
This was the cue for Hooker to call the campaign over and he withdrew over US Ford on the 5th. Casualties were high for the four day battle: 13000 for Lee and 17000 for Hooker. Lee’s proportion was too high, considering he only had 60000 to start with.
Lee and the South had bettered an army twice the size of their own and given Virginia breathing space. Lee’s next move, as it had been in 62, after a victory, was to move North.
Gettysburg awaited.
Jackson would never again be Lee’s “right arm”’ as he passed away on the 10th from complications from his amputation.
His last words were: let us cross over the river and rest in the shade of the trees.
Which NFL team(s) do you root for?

Panthers! 1-12 :-P :cry:

Oh man…at least there will be some relief possible next year.

I’m a Cardinals fan, and they are 4 wins- 9 losses (4-9-0) and they truly are awful. The mandatory cuts ruined all hope for a good season.

Yeah, I know. I had so many Packer players on my fantasy team that went out with injuries, including Ryan Grant (1st game, my #2 pick), Jermichael Finley (out in the first few minutes of a game).

Miami Heat.
Yes i know.
what?

It’s not Football.

So why not make an appropriate thread to discuss overrated teams?

You mean the team ranked 7 in defense and 11 in offense and has the league leading point differential along with the 12 game win streak?
You mean that overrated team? Or you talking about Orlando?

blacketballs is for the ghey,
miami dogs in heat blow.
Raiders Pwn.
And NO if you win the superbowl you are not the WORLD CHAMPIONS. You are just an idiot who says they are, who won a game in the United States alone, that no one else in the world plays under the exact same ruleset.

interesting that colts havent been picked yet
-
That’s because the colts are no good silly goose.

The injuries problems this year will help them next year. The next year Packers will have experiece depth. If they can survive into the playoffs they could do some damage.

Matt Flynn got some xp against the Patriots. Pack has to win out to make the playoffs (Giants, Bears).

I have thought the same thing. How can someone be a “world champ” and never played a team from a different country? Does the NFL Europe team that wins the whole shebang get the title of world champ? Or how about the canadian league? Just like Dallas Cowboys are called America’s Team. That is another one that I don’t understand.

then they got to change the name of the World Series.

Do you guys really want to compare NFL talent with the CFL or Europe football? The best CFL team could not beat the worse NFL team.

I was pulling for Matt Flynn, he led our home town football team to a Texas State Championship.

I would say “I watch every game on tv” and spew some intelligent information, but not liking football is one of the primary side effects of being a Lions fan.

I liked your original response better.
But yes, the Heat as an overrated team. I look on ESPN today and it’s talking about their “Dream Team” Trio that seems to be worse as a sum than the individual parts. All the differential tells me is that they beat teams soundly…when they beat them.
