Miyagi-Do Karate

makes total sense. When you said USVI, I almost assumed St. Croix, because it strikes me as having more to offer beyond the beach and just more basic stores and things. I probably like it least of the three, but have always thought it was the one island there that would be easy to live on. I absolutely love St. John, but I get your point. Probably would lose its luster after a while.

To me, option 1 is so much better. Won’t slow down the game. I also think the result would be a focus on important calls that matter to the play. for example, how many times is there some silly penalty or non-call away from the ball that has no bearing on anything? even last night on the 2-point conversion, yeah, Giesicki was held, but at no point was burrow looking his way on the route. And burrow’s face mask was touched, but it didn’t impact his movement or throw. I can live with those errors.

out of curiosity, any reason you wouldn’t go back to the USVI? At least as a vacationer, I absolutely love it down there!

I would go the totally opposite way. No instant replays, no challenges. Simplify the rules. Just call what you see and move on. the “problem” isn’t the officiating. The officiating has actually gotten a lot better. The problem is we now have about a thousand cameras in slo mo reviewing every angle of a guy’s shin possibly touching down, which makes every call or non call subject to scrutiny. they need to just simplify the rules (eg, what is a catch?), and make quick common sense decisions, and we should accept that errors will be made but that they will mostly get things right.

If he catches even one pass, I would be shocked. but I can see why your screen name is “keep the faith”! 😁

Liked going for 2. Strange play call. I actually like just a simple handoff down there.

Super dumb. Two bombs there?

Anyone remember the famous Pat Moran breaking story about Merriman smuggling cocaine in from Canada? He even swore on his daughter’s life it was true! Turned out to be false or at least not substantiated. Edit: found a story about it. The rumor was smuggling steroids. https://bleacherreport.com/articles/812031-buffalo-bills-shawne-merriman-denies-steroid-allegations-and-online-rumors edit: and here was the thread on here about it!

you are doing a nice job putting a positive spin on this! But if your area is known for shrimp cocktail, then it’s safe to say it is not a good food town! What else is on the menu in Indy? Grocery story sushi!

I would love to get Solomon’s snap count up.

there is some truth to this….

I will be curious to get your thoughts on the stadium. When I was running the numbers, I felt the Bills could pretty much build the exact same stadium as Lucas Oil (with the roof!) for what they are paying for their new stadium.

My family used to live out there when I was in college and I spent some summers working in the area. i like Indy. Clean downtown, friendly sports fans (huge bball town, with only a minor interest in football). But it is a pretty non-descript food town. If there is a food I associate with the area, it’s probably like Amish-type food— like homemade noodles in butter.

is Douglas only signed through this year?! Yikes.

Now go add Shaq and the fat kicker to the PS, and we are onto the Super Bowl!

can you imagine poyer and rapp back there together? They would kill each other.

And yet we still refuse to build one!!

Haha; that’s number 2 for me! Guy gets injured on the most random plays that have nothing to do with actually playing defense.

My main memory of Phillips now is his hurting his shoulder as part of the 40-second Mac Jones scramble. I was trying to find the video of it, set to the Benny hill theme.

beane could have asked me about Samuel. that guy has disappointed me in fantasy for years. Parlayed one good year in Carolina in 2020 into years of disappointment.

I wonder what sort of shape Hyde is in. May be great as an emergency player and game day inactive, coaching up these safeties.

agreed. Would like to also see Edwards be active And get some snaps. I just have a feeling we will Need him eventually with injury risks. edit: haha— just saw the thread about Edwards getting released today. So never mind!

was thinking the same thing. Force the refs’ hand.

I love how Buck was so shocked by it. Taylor does it every other play!

Hate to ask this: but do you all think McD goes for two at the end? I have a feeling he wouldn’t either, which is nuts.
