That's No Moon

It was Dunkirk Don. We sent him in deep undercover.

That guy is such a tool. The only question in my head is does he get fired before the players turn on him. I hope not. I want to see that epic meltdown.

How in the ever loving Christ did we get here? Take it to the History Channel gentlemen!

What's the problem? edit: do I need to put in a 🤣 so the sensitive Sallies know I'm joking?

Different helmet. I've never seen it happen either, but that's what it was.

Nah, that's cold related.

He wears a vicis helmet. They are softer plastic than a typical helmet to absorb energy better. Clearly they don't like the cold stiffening up the material.

🤔

I love that we live in their heads.

Flacco throws him the ball.

I'm asking the question. I'm sure they thought of it, I would just like to know how.

Thank you for understanding my struggle. I now have to rearrange the tchotchke shelf. Again. Wish me luck.

And you all were worried about Kathy freaking Hochul. I totally saw that ad already today so it's not really "new" on Sunday. That probably helps. Right? Yes. Definitely. Also, who among us hasn't yelled "SILENCE, JIM NANTZ!" at least once?

It's me. Totally me. Can I align the universe properly through my words, thoughts and actions over the next day and a half. Can I sit in the correct location and wear the correct outfit? Can I knock on wood quickly enough any time I say or think anything even remotely positive? Can I shout loudly enough from 300 miles away to influence the game? Can I refuse to watch at the proper moments? There's so much to do. I hope I can pull it off for everyone. I've been training for this moment my whole life.

I'm sure those comments were referenced in the huddle as they started that drive. Gave them the extra motivation they needed. I'm fighting the demons with you brother. Remember, it's in your head. Everything will be fine. The universe doesn't keep score and it doesn't owe you or hate you. This is what I tell myself anyway. My faith in that statement wavers and YMMV.

If they'd kill the stupid pre-season they could start in August. Of course, Miami in August would be the opposite issue we have now. Maybe the season is too long now, Rog? Naaaaaah, we can slide at least one more in there.

Ed Oliver. Anchor against the run, quick pressure against any passing they do.

Just another PTSD trigger. Try not to put too much stock in it. I'm here worried that because I dared to look at what the early ticket prices are for next week's game I put bad juju into the universe which will then come back to harm me. If I have that much cosmic power I really should be using it differently, but my brain will worry about it anyway.

Jaylen Warren played at Snow College. Can't make this up.

I have a serious question. The new field is supposed to be grass. Fine. I get that you can heat it and have grow lights and all that to keep it alive. When we get a storm like this, how are they supposed to clear the field and the stadium without destroying the field? In the current stadium they can drive large equipment right onto the field. With grass, which would be soaked by melting snow if the ground were heated, it would be far too soft to do that. I realize other grass fields can get snow but they don't get typically 2-3'+ of snow in a single storm in Philly or Pittsburgh or Green Bay or Baltimore or Washington. Cleveland could I guess, but nobody accused Cleveland's field of being good in the winter either.

That game is bonus joy for me either way. Whoever loses, that's just fantastic. Let them beat the mess out of each other on that frozen rock of a field while they are at it. That said, Miami's misdirection game could be big for them.

I miss Fred Jackson a ton this week.

I think we are better equipped to win a slug fest this year than we were last. I'd be happier if Dodson hadn't just wrecked his shoulder. I had that same injury. He's not going to be fine. Maybe they can shoot it up, but that arm isn't going to work right and it's going to hurt like hell when he tries to use it. Sitting Miller has to be a serious consideration. Does he have confidence and the strength in his leg to be able to rush, and more importantly, anchor on a field like that? Rousseau, Lawson, Epenesa, heck I'd even toy with having Oliver outside with more beef inside as part of a rotation though the DTs in this game are going to be huge for both teams. Any pressure is going to come up the middle rather than the outside and those guys need to jam up the inside running lanes as well.
