and then a stranger game.
that was a dilly of a day of football.
the NFL knows how to cram a lot of football into the closing minutes.

that self immolation by the Rams was one of the greatest gakks ever in a big-time game.
They should have won that game by 3 scores
a 27-3 miracle CFBW would have been nice for TB12 to pair with his 28-3 CFBW a few years back.
if that's the GOAT's swan song it ain't a terrible way to go out

had a decent WC week at 4-2 and a decent year ending the regular season a few games over .500 and clinging to a modest lead in the SoSH ATS pool heading into the divisional round.
still mulling over picks.
leaning home favs tomorrow, may 2nd guess myself and go Cincy at +3.5 (I hate that hook, and I haven't had them right all year), and I'm brutal at last minute switches (like 2-8)
I kind of like GB to bring another title to title town, and they're the ML favorite, but Rodgers is such a dick its tough to root for the guy.
I'm still rooting for TB12, old habits etc. though I'm not sure he can beat the Rams this time

« on: January 16, 2022, 10:12:15 PM »Miami had the no-name defense in the 70s
Pats unveiled the no-show D last night.
there was a D in the Dolphins, there is no D on the Pats.
I thought the Pats would lose last night but not to piss themselves.
Poor ending to a decent season.
Yeah there was a lot on the young Pat QB. A little defense by the Patriots would have helped immensely.
The Pats only real chance for a win was a sloppy/ smash mouth game with turnovers and mistakes and punts that pinned the Bills deep and maybe they could eke out a 17-14 win. But the Pats D no showed and they were trampled by a deeper and better Bills team that was prepared to go to war. The Pats were preparing for golf in Cancun. They peed themselves.
Bama Mac was along for the ride this year and he showed reasonably well (arm strength aside) next year the stakes are upped and we'll see what we got.

Sam Jones #24
I loved his game
the master of the glass
a wizard of the window
when Sam went up for his 15-20' jumper the angle was measured and precise, the shot was true and he called glass, BANG!
the best bank shot ever
EVER
and I don't say that lightly.
RIP Sam
and Happy New Years to the Knicks Forum
may '22 be good to you and yours.

Its entirely likely that at some time in the future a fertilized egg in the right test tube and right procedures might grow into a human. So Red's logic would seem to say that conception=viability and that "the people" have the right to dictate the future of that test tube, err the 2-cell baby human.
But I'm not sure why "the people" without standing to that test tube has a greater say than the owner of the egg who was gifted a sperm.
Because of their superior morality?
Doubtful.
Or they know what God's view is on the matter?
Double doubtful.
We've seen their indifference to life outside the womb, and the amorality of these play for pay pro-life religious hypocrites.
But Red is right, we can do better.
The US should protect the rights of all women to make choices about their reproductive rights, and not subject them to religious zealots and bigots empowered only by their corruption and a state line.

I'm pretty sure there's a good chance they would understand and nod in agreement with the dinosaur analogy.

« on: December 09, 2021, 07:26:29 PM »After the 2018 season, the best QB from the 2018 draft was Baker Mayfield. After 2019 it was Lamar Jackson. After.2020 if was Josh Allen. This year they are all struggling. I would pump the brakes on ranking the QBs for now.
IMO the interesting thing is the flood of new QBs over the past few years replacing the dinosaurs of the early 00s. Except for Tyranno Tom in Tampa, and BenTosaurus in Pitt, Adds a lot of uncertainty every week.

« on: December 09, 2021, 07:23:11 PM »Re: Barkley and that decrepit Giants line -
I imagine he'd have had 2500 yards plus in 2018 if the line were any good - maybe even 3000, eh, Banks?
kid its not my concern that you didn't understand the weaknesses of the team you root for.
or the values of real football players in winning real football games.
And I don't follow fantasy football so if you say the Barkely would have rushed for 3,000 yards in '18 with a decent O-line, I imagine he'd be a very impactful fantasy player.
best of luck with that.

BB is a great coach, and BB and MacDaniels have generally put Mac in a position to succeed.
and you'll never see me argue against the importance of an O-line.
Never.
Which was a central argument in my saying putting Saquon behind a No-line was dumb and a waste of an asset.
The Pats struggled early this season when they had O-line injuries. But Mac still showed pretty good promise under stress and he does have a decent resume winning big games. And if the Pats can win with a smart QB who is accurate but doesn't have a cannon for an arm, or isn't a scrambling magician making magic throws, so what?
This game is about the W not the stats.
As to comping the Jones, I haven't seen a lot from Danny Drops yet, but he may have a stronger arm than Mac, but weaker fingers and can't hold onto the football.

I think at this point, and the sample size is still real small, and the learning curve is steep, if there were to be a redraft of the 5 1st round rookie QBs they might be drafted this way
Lawrence
Mac Jones
Fields
Lance
Wilson
IMO Lawrence's raw ability and college resume edges Mac Jones skills and smarts, but its close.

The D was special and that wind was like a 12th man (for both sides).
But what was really special was the Bills kkew the pats would run and run and run, but the Pats O-line was dominant.
