....so show me.....Hampton digs??...naw...............

...so after BILLIONS of years with Mother Nature tolerating us, we are all of a sudden in "crisis/panic" mode?.......you really expect me to take the protesting "Chicken Little Fickle" gang SERIOUSLY?......same ones who get 50 weeks paid vacation to travel the "protest circuit"??...........this is really a TOP PRIORITY that faces us?.......good Lord we're in deeper s&%t than I thought...how sad................

...well, no harm no foul...who gives a rat's azz?......you're on your own......"hasta la pasta" ingrates.............. Iraq Published 2 hours ago Iraq’s Parliament calls for expulsion of US troops from the country following drone attack By Stephen Sorace | Fox News Iraqi lawmakers approved a resolution Sunday calling to expel U.S. troops from the country, following an American drone attack that killed Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani. The resolution asks the Iraqi government to end the agreement under which Washington sent forces to Iraq more than four years ago to help in the fight against the Islamic State terror group. "The Iraqi government has an obligation to end the presence of all foreign forces on Iraqi soil and prevent it from using Iraqi lands, waters, and airspace or any other reason," Iraqi Parliament Speaker Mohammed al-Halboosi said in an address to lawmakers before the vote. https://www.foxnews.com/world/iraq-parliament-expulsion-us-troops-drone-attack

...water over the 2019 dam and too late for blame game, but here are some "senior moment" observations..... 1. Certainly cannot deny McDermott's defensive background is clearly evident in the offensive philosophy. I'm choking on "play fearless while I coach fearful". Focusing on <20 points will never get it done period. 2. Daboll is woefully inconsistent and I'm not buying, "well it's the personnel stupid". It's too convenient. Good coaches coach to their personnel's strengths. He is too quick to abandon what is working and is woefully inept to readjust (for some here, "Brian, Jimmy Haslam is on line one" is the answer). 3. Frazier is a DC and I don't foresee him as HC material (some make the transition and others revert back to their roots as Frazier did). Several times he should the ability to adjust after a slow start. Other times, we did not. Certainly of late there were missed tackles woes, but that is more player discipline. They get paid a helluva lot of money to blow tackles at this late date. 4. McBeane has $90+ mil and numerous picks at his disposal. If he focuses on the offense and brings in a bevy of talent upgrades, while we continue to wallow in the "<20 points is a winning formula", what's next? ON PAPER, the 2020 schedule looks far more difficult (on paper because we have no idea how opposition rosters will change). If it does turn out to be more difficult, any confidence here that "<20 coach fearful ball" still gets us to 10-6?.... .....stay tuned............

...the man, the player, the community involvement, etc was the ultimate package.....he stands proud and did the team as well as community proud.......even in his final year at age 36, he was a major contributor.....

...isn't that Dabumble's secret?.......if it's working, abandon it........"Brian, Jimmy Haslam is on line one"....................

...I'm not convinced that McDermott hates to win via "coach fearful"......he is a defensive guy FIRST (not to be confused with Teddy Marchibroda; ditto for Daboll).....acknowledging a weaker 2019 schedule, Daboll was FAR too inconsistent overall.....I'm just not going to buy "it's the personnel stupid"......you coach to your personnel's strengths (and of course the apologists will say, "but they have NO strengths"; um ok)......McBeane has $90+ mil available and a bevy of picks.....secondly (at least on paper so far; have no idea what transpires in off season relative to opposition rosters), 2020 schedule appears to be much tougher.....so if, IF McBeane prioritizes the offense via draft & FA, supplying McDermott with a significant talent upgrade and we're STILL stuck in "coach fearful" mode, a/k/a FG fest and <20 pts modus operandi, now what??..........

...not sure if it is as simple as that.......offensively you have to be more than a "one trick pony" IMO....ned a diversified, effective offense that allows you to take what the defense is giving you....60/40 pass-run, 40-60 pass-run or whatever, with the ability to quickly adjust.....far too inconsistent in 2019 and prematurely abandoning what is working...

....I'm waiting for someone to post a "Josh is a coach killer" gem.......

....FAR too inconsistent......something starts working and he abandons it.............play fearless so he can then coach FEARFUL........SMH..........

...EXACTLY..........a/k/a Coach Fearful...........SMH.....

........play fearless.....coach FEARFUL............on a bigger stage no less.........

...should be the California electorate with no solace......no harm no foul............

...sure as hell hope you have a TV in the garage...WTF?..............

...LMAO...NFLN Irvin babble...need more Bourbon......thank God plastic straws are still legal in Texas.....

...the money didn't come close to your savvy.......I knew it....hold your ground bro............

...Benny Ricardo jersey..............either that or Klopfenstein.....Bennie got the nod........

...Sweeney and Yeldon?......show me Dabumble.......

...my "Cliff Notes" version take...who bestest and fastest feeds the NFL's salacious desires for cash? 1, TV/advertising revenues. 2. Corporate money. 3. Merchandise sales. 4.Average Joe scraping together bucks to take his family. ....sorry average Joe...you may HAVE BEEN the unwavering supporting rock that got the whole thing going....today?....not even a pimple on their radar...cut the grass or shovel snow.......

...so r u in??...........

...not much game film on Duke so let 'em guess......not fast but a beast after the ball......Smoke and Beasley will provide the speed.......gimme some Knox and Beasley underneath and/or in the seam......keep 'rm honest with Singeltary and Yeldon (no offense Frank).....

...beware.....Tre may scorch your seat muffin............

...oh well...one for the "good guys"........sorry poet......... Brett Velicovich on the drone that took down Soleimani: 'You only get one shot' By Julia Musto | Fox News You only get "one shot" while taking down a target like Iranian General Qassem Soleimani, drone expert Brett Velicovich said Saturday. Appearing on "America's News HQ: Weekend" with host Ed Henry, Velicovich -- who once tracked Soleimani's movements -- said that the drone strike on Soleimani was a " forceful reminder that the Iranians can no longer attack Americans with impunity, [as well as] that the U.S. government can retaliate with a wide variety of options that are both devastating actions that are short of war." "Thanks to President Trump's decisive action, we are able to use one of the tools within the government's arsenal to strike and to strike Soleimani with precision," he added. https://www.foxnews.com/media/brett-velicovich-qassem-soleimani-drone-strike-iran
