Doc Brown

Because politicians generally crater to the consensus of the public. The fact that any Dems or Republicans voted against it is astounding to me.

McDermott at least learns from his mistakes which is an advantage many first time head coaches don't have because a franchise will pull the plug too quickly. His game management skills also have improved this year. Calling a time out after the replay disaster against the Colts to reset his defense stands out.

It's frustrating. I suppose it's even more frustrating for GOP voters who do care about the deficit who see them pass those massive spending bills when they control Congress and the presidency. However, the Democrats plan passed in the House is extremely popular so pass the darn thing through reconciliation and don't compromise with Republicans. If they scream about the debt just point out the last four years.

With confusing descriptions like that it's no wonder fans have such a hard time.

We'll never know if McVay used the thumb injury as an excuse just to start Wolford. Just the fact that Goff played decent in relief along with a report that Goff was unhappy that McVay didn't start him in the WC game makes it plausible.

It just points to how much they soured on Goff. Why was he good enough to be the backup then in that game if his thumb significantly limited his ability to throw the ball? Something tells me Allen, Mahomes, Rogers, Brady, etc... had the same injury they would've started.

I hated the Lincoln Project people because I saw them as grifters and they hurt more than helped. Calling all of them pedo/pervs based off one person who's had accusations made against him is well typical on this message board nowadays.

Only if they still make Gase and Marrone coach it.

Any specifics? One person. Multiple people? I have no clue what you're talking about.

Yeah he was. They were so desperate for an upgrade they started a backup over him in the playoffs using the thumb injury as an excuse.

I want the Chiefs to win so they have the 32nd pick instead of the 31st pick. Yes, that's how little I care about the outcome of this game.

We'll know now. Elite offensive line, solid WR and TE options, a great system, young dynamic running backs, and a really good defense. The fact that Goff had a 20 to 13 TD to INT ratio is pathetic given what he had surrounding him. He's just too indecisive, limited vertically, and also fumble prone. The Rams thought so little of him they decided to start a backup in a playoff game ahead of him (if he's good enough to be a backup with a thumb injury he's good enough to start). He was holding them back and Stafford will show that this year.

They don't have a 1st rounder this year as they traded the pick for Jaylen Ramsey. I think it's seven years in a row the Rams don't have a first round pick since they took Goff. They've been decent at hitting on their mid round picks though.

I think your view of this trade comes down to your opinion of Stafford and Goff. I think Stafford's a huge upgrade to Goff and it will show next year. Stafford's had to navigate through a bunch of crappy situations in Detroit while Goff was able to benefit off of McVay after a terrible rookie year. I think McVay was tired of having to scheme around Goff's weaknesses. Goff was turnover prone, indecisive, and doesn't have the ability to stretch the ball vertically like Stafford does. Stafford should easily have his best season next year and makes them viable Super Bowl contenders for at least the next few seasons. What happens after that depends on their ability to find talent in the middle rounds. Two first round picks are a lot (there were apparently a lot of bitters) but the Lions had to eat Goff's horrible contract for that draft capital. Also, keep in mind those picks will pry be in the 20's or 30's because the Rams will pry be a Super Bowl contender through 2023 with this move. I see it as a win/win trade that the Lions and Dan Campbell will eventually screw up. As far as the Rams, the only way this move works out is if they win the Super Bowl within the next few years. McVay doesn't have a losing season yet in four years so I wouldn't bet against him.

I'm starting to see why BOB wasn't fond of him. Don't get me wrong....he's still a terrible GM who was way over his head.

I have some inside sources for this. For February yes. That's the plan. They're planning for a full return in March while providing virtual learning for kids who "opt out." Also, the city has the judges in their back pocket so the teacher's union doesn't stand a chance in court.

I said that's the worst case scenario. Most experts are expecting fall of 2021. Buffalo city schools are currently planning full in person learning starting March 1st from what I've been told.

That's what probably happened. RobinHood is the equivalent of a rookie QB that ran into a Bill Beichick defense for the first time.

My comment had more to do with his overall fatalistic view of the pandemic timeline in general when it came to going back to schools. I said, "I don't really understand this fatalistic attitude you have unless you're just venting." He's all over the place with some conspiratorial thoughts but is afraid that this virtual learning will go on for years. I just see it as paranoia. You're going to have growing science of how this impacts kids less than the flue as far as both catching and spreading it and the growing pressure on the government to get people vaccinated (teachers included) we should reach herd immunity by the end of summer. My prediction is schools will open fully next fall. At the latest by January break.

Wow. This caused Jon Stewart decided to join twitter.

I'd bring in Watt for a 1.21 million dollar contract.

The irony in the name is fantastic.

Just us. LOL.

The expectations are low so he's got that going for him. He's in a tough spot though (cap space and lack of draft picks) even if Watson comes back thanks to BOB.

My thinking behind that is the NFL likes to schedule divisional games the last game of the season so we'd have nothing to play for entrenched in that #2 seed behind KC. Maybe they foolishly schedule us at home week 18 against the Pats thinking it could decide the fate of the AFC East.
