It's not Sanders's fault they lost this year. Get over it.

Feel bad for all those people buying Caleb Williams jerseys when he’ll be a backup for the Steelers in four years.

The first father son duo to retire 30 seconds apart.

The pick that bothered me the most was the deep ball he threw when he had Gibbs in the flat, wide open and nobody near him for 10 or 20 yards or so. That easily could have been a TD. Horrible Goff decision, 100% on him.

Not a bad idea. If you used Goff more in a receiver role that would free up Raymond to play more OL, which means Sewell could sub in at CB. I think we've got a good plan here but I seriously doubt someone as inept as Johnson will see the wisdom and make the necessary changes. SOL...

Wallinder has been hurt..only played 5 games this year. Heard Buium has looked decent at GR

I remember being a little kid. Standing in my parents kitchen or the basement and wondering how I would ever acquire all the things needed to run a household. Today I stand in our garage and I look all the crap we accumulated over the years and I wonder where the hell it all came from.

Maybe we can finally honor George Wallace on Mount Rushmore too.

The swamp is full of billionaires. I thought this was supposed to be a working class administration?

You won't be a general unless you are willing to put Trump ahead of the Constitution. They will screen for things like DEI advocacy but that will manifest in support for "traditional values" and so that will translate into "willingness to shoot American citizens".

The GOP senators are shell shocked. They will play lip service and they may give cover to Murkowski and Collins or someone else for this or that, but only if they have enough votes. If the senators push back then Elon and the Ruskies will get involved and whip them into shape. They aren't going to want to give the impression there is trouble in paradise. The days of relying on good people are over. All we can hope is ineptitude wins the day and the clock runs out before anything to drastic happens. Nobody with a government job with an (R) after their name will save us.

In other words, Fife is correct, you completely mischaracterized what he said. Thanks for confirming.

none of this is going to matter to these people and the senate will confirm. There's 50 cowards.

Wow, a party trying to learn from their mistakes and not screaming voter fraud, launching lawsuits left and right and fighting to nullify the votes of millions of Americans? The horror.

Of course sen murphy did not state woke is broke. Heres the interview and transcript for which you will not find him stating that. https://www.npr.org/2024/11/15/nx-s1-5187068/chris-murphy-democrats-losses-2024-election Seems like @Tigeraholic1 might just be a liar.

make bigotry great again

I don't know what to make of Navigato. I suspect he's a 4A IF, but I don't know. If they keep him and give him a shot at the roster, that's fine. I liked the acquisition of Leonard. He had injury and struggled a bit upon return last season. I expect him to be added to the 40 but I'm not sure he has a spot on the 26 quite yet. I still like the idea of acquiring Kim (like his combination of offense and defense even if his power might be limited), allowing him his recovery early in the season, and using that time to determine what to do with Baez. Now, whether that means a left side of the IF of Sweeney and Baez on a mostly everyday basis or not, I don't know, but I would be fine with it early on. But I also think Kim is under the radar enough that a 2 year deal is reasonable for both sides. It allows to use free agent / trade capital elsewhere.

Neither invoked any fear in me watching that game. Both were meh. Of course, they'd each say the same thing about us after watching last Sunday.

I can’t be the only one thinking that all of these Trump Cabinet announcements (and that’s all they are at this point, …announcements) are done for no more than his own amusement, and to get satisfaction from the outrage he sees from people either on his enemies list, or those in his own party who haven’t kissed the ring yet. I think he probably may suspect that they won’t all get approved, and he can use any SmackDowns that come against him as ammunition going forward. The man exists on grievances and reactions to his outrageousness. he wants to just keep people fighting, and so far only two weeks in, he’s getting his rocks off.

Yes, I was just noting his propensity to chase is nothing new and not caused by his physical issues, he’s always done that. It’s his inability to drive balls that he can reach that is the problem, and that may be related to his injury.

Found a video breaking down the 5 INTs. Not sure how accurate the analysis is, but you can see all 5 INTs here. First was on a screen pass that Houston seemed to have sniffed out. A defender makes and perfectly timed jump to tip the pass and another defender makes an incredible diving play to get the INT. At best 10% Goff's fault. Second was on a play where the a defender ran around out left tackle, hit Goff has he threw the ball bounces off a couple of lineman and takes a fluke bounce right into the hands of another defender running up towards the play. I'd say maybe 2% Goff's fault. Third was a Hail Mary at the end of the half. Yeah there was a good chance that it would get intercepted, but that's understood... it's Low Risk, High Reward. It's low risk because it's the end of the half. Best case you score. Worst case the defense gets an INT and runs the ball ALL the way back for a score (EXTREMELY unlikely). Most likely the play ends with no score and then it doesn't matter one bit how the play ended. INT? Incomplete? Caught but downed outside of the EZ? Functionally it's all the same. 0% Goff's fault. Fourth was a deep ball to Jamo where it doesn't seem like Jamo was expecting the ball at all. It wasn't a great thrown by Goff but again Jamo just doesn't seem like he's expecting it... he's certainly not looking for it until way too late. Without knowing more about if Jamo didn't run a good route or if Goff's pass didn't go exactly where he wanted it or what it's hard to assign blame, so I'm gonna go with 50-50 on Goff, but then error on the side of over blaming: 60% Goff's fault. Fifth was a medium range pass to LaPorta. The video narrator points out that LaPorta ran into some contact from the defenders and so his route was slowed down and Goff didn't take that into account when he threw the ball. This seems valid and so I'm going to mostly assign the blame here to Goff. Again erroring on the side of over blaming: 90% Goff's fault. So, by my scientifically rigorous evaluation of Goff's Interceptions, he's 32.4% to blame on average. So really Goff only threw one and a half interceptions in the game.

To me it was actually some of the non interpretations that worried me more. He missed quite a few easy throws that he normally makes. There were more than 1 just at St.Brown that weren't even close(they weren't throwaways either) and another couple where St.Brown had to pluck below his knees to get to. Also I know he isn't known for throwing the tightest spiral but some in that game were especially wobbly, hell the one to LaPorta was so bad the announcers thought it was tipped at the line of scrimmage. All this to say as long as there isn't something physically wrong with him that he is hiding I'm not concerned though, guys have off games, even great ones so until proven otherwise that's what I'm chalking it up as.

I read on one gaming site that what is now a 13 pt spread is the biggest the Lions have been favoured since 1995 when they played the Jags in the Jags’ inaugural season

I meant more so the impact on the city. Just like how 770,000 people attended the draft, I think you’re looking at hundreds of thousands flooding New Orleans to be a part of the action, even if they’re not going to the game.

I like to think that the Lions beat down is the reason they are worse than expected. We broke them.

Okay, yeah, technically it'll be a neutral field... but if the Lions make the SB I expect it to be the most lopsided crowd in a long time. First, I suspect there will be a LOT of Lions fans who put up the big bucks to go. How many years have we been waiting? Second, I suspect the Lions would be the preferred rooting interest of most of the fans of the other 30 teams that aren't there.
