Miyagi-Do Karate

Matt Ryan is like, “um, is there a computer glitch; how did I get on this list?”

I guess when I was saying “fire” I meant basically a deal by which KC would agree to some procedural maneuver to let Bieniemy go while not getting the picks (assuming the new team tells Bieniemy that’s the condition). But I think you are right— if a team really wants him, then I guess they’re going to let KC reap that benefit. in the end, this seems more like a windfall to a KC than some properly crafted incentive.

good points. I recommend that all parents read Coddling of the American Mind. It not only talks about the rise of cancel culture on college campuses, but talks a lot about the harms of social media and cyber bullying (as those are linked as the cause of a lot of what we are seeing on campuses with fear and anxiety over speech that is offensive). The stats are alarming— for girls, there is a direct correlation between screen time and suicide rates. https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2015/09/the-coddling-of-the-american-mind/399356/

To your second point, this is going to be an obstacle to some guys getting jobs. I actually think this will hurt a guy like Bieniemy. Nobody is going to allow the chiefs to get two extra 3rd rounders. I can see teams playing games with this— like The new team will effectively force KC to fire Bieniemy first as a condition to hiring him.

Mario Addison looks super human there!! 😀

Made my day!!!

agree completely. Really brilliant there. Caught the defense off guard, and got an easy gain out of it.

Skimming through this confirms my view that there really is no such thing as an Arizona cardinals’ fan. I am kind of surprised they even have a message board, but it looks like it is one created by a local sports channel for all Arizona teams. no offense to Arizona— one of my favorite states— but it’s a place filled with old people and transplants and without any sort of pro sports culture. Also, re their message board, Do they have character limits? Each person’s post is like 1-sentence long.

seems weird though when the titans had a lot more success basically playing coverage against him instead.

it really is amazing how the Bills in about 4 plays almost in a row came storming back. Blocked FG for a TD, pick 6, Fumbled snap by elway, and Davis TD right after that. what also is amazing is how Bad Norwood was that day— I forgot about that. Missed PAT and missed FG near the end to ice it.

Ugh.

I fully expect they will pay him and he will sign a pretty decent market value contract, which probably Won’t take into account his prior injuries. I don’t think teams (and of course players’ agents) view these sorts of injuries as materially reducing contract value.

apparently, the seahawks' writers think Josh Allen is terrible: https://www.fieldgulls.com/2020/11/10/21557591/seattle-seahawks-defense-beaten-buffalo-bills-nfl-film-analysis#comments It should not surprise you if you’ve watched a few of his games, but Allen plays this whole snap poorly. By stepping away from the largely benign pressure of Collier, he steps into pressure by Dunlap. Having created pressure through poor pocket awareness, he then attempts a rushed throw. His form is awful. He is duck footed and throws off one while swinging the other.... Luckily, I guess, Josh Allen goofs his progression. He looks away from Diggs just as Diggs is breaking free. He then looks a long time at the only receiver Seattle has effectively covered, Gabriel Davis. Finally he finds Devin Singletary. He has a long time to make a bad read.... The pass is inaccurate. Diggs has to slow and bubble backward. Which gives Wagner a desperation attempt at a tackle.... Diggs beat him, loses a ton of ground catching Allen’s garbage pass, and Diggs beats Wagner again...

Way too risky. Don’t think it was super clear, we were 1st and goal Inside the 5, and we couldn’t lose a TO on a lost challenge there.

Blame for Flacco for botching that last drive. Second and 2, and doesn’t take the easy dump down and instead takes a horrible sack.

yeah— receiver can do that.

Unbelievable. I hate that team. I have still yet to ever see Nick Folk miss a kick.

he is 15/16 for 27 yards!

I forgot how Flacco throws such a nice lofted ball With touch. A number of beautiful throws tonight.

I really dislike Burkhead. He is cut from the same annoying cloth as all those other patriots.

josh gets grabbed around the neck and twisted down. No call.

I actually was worried about that celebration. I turned to my wife and said, "why is Josh touching helmets with Knox-- the dude just had COVID?"

That was a serious LOL for me watching that replay.

It was a seriously brilliant play call.

i couldn’t tell if that play was designed to be a pass, or a RPO, or was Josh improvising.
