I always used it to mean that you’re in a situation that is just so comfortable, it’s hard to move on, even if you know you should. Like a job you hated, but just couldn’t quit because the work was easy and the pay was good. You’re stuck and can’t move on.

Our only loss was also to an undefeated team 😁

Well concerning Bernard, what exactly is his stock right now? Right now, he’s a 3 start MLB who has flashed a few amazing plays. What is the value of that stock? IMO, that game wasn’t the peak, but an indicator of greater potential. I’m keeping this stock like a guy who heard about Apple before it hit big. Actually, I’m buying because I think if he pops next week with all eyes on BUF/MIA, there will be a run on his stock.

That adds up 👍

Always good to see 9/17ths Allen come in at the end of a game 🍻

Bernard baby!!

Diggs is giving him exactly what he was trying to gain. 👀

Next year practically making him a rookie of you think about it.

IMO we were geared up and aligned for a game where Rodgers was slinging it all game. It was all about QB pressure/hits and it seemingly worked too well. We never expected him to be out at all, let alone so soon. If he was in, there was no way they were going to rely on the run. He was the star, they were going to lean on him come heck or high water. As soon as he was out, the Jets “put on a tourniquet” went back to their fundamentals, which are strong, and obviously found some success. I also think we’re built to have a lead, but that implies passing/abandoning the run. This odd circumstances made that impossible for the jests, and I believe we were caught flat footed. Like we focused on the passing calls/alignments and didn’t review the running reads as much for the new guy. I think we will only get better.

Or else he’s a bust! 😁

I’m not your pal, friend!

If it ‘twas, it twould be…twerrific!

My god, even that looks forced and unnatural. “Does this make me seem Hu-Man?”

But I mean how can you walk away from possibly Ron Dayne?? 🤣🤣

No Milano Was he a Capt previously? Just assumed he’d be one given his skills.

Well you are a sack Dr. so it must be true

Watching the game now and it was the refs that killed that game and whatever vanilla gameplay we had yesterday. As the game started, just about every positive Bills play resulted in a penalty, all negative plays allowed to stand. Every time the Squealers needed a play, the refs were there to help them make sure it happened. It was blatantly obvious with the ghost block in the back on the 2nd drive that they refused to replay and McD called them out. After that, it seemed like a batch of “this is what you get for calling us out” penalties. I think after that call out, we ended up 2nd and 30 vs 2nd and short (3 back to back penalties). Finally the Bills realized the refs were bent on killing the drive, said screw it and did 2 screens to get off the field. Like the refs were attempting to establish dominance and smacked the Bills on the nose with a rolled up newspaper. “You will get what I give you and be happy about it”. I think the players realized it and lost whatever fire you can get up for a preseason game.

Well if player can be like coaches on the field, why can’t coaches be like players on the field. The math adds up 👍

Then football games would be more like D&D campaigns lol

Oh yeah that is a badass name! Not tracking the happenings on the NBA side, but that would be a cool name no matter the sport.

Hey man I can 100% understand your position and why you hold it. I feel like I understand you POV and respect it. It absolutely has merit. We just value things differently 🤷‍♂️ We’d be on the same side (and I’m 100% positive there wouldn’t have been an issue such as this one) if they had at least stuck with an Indian theme in the final name. Nothing NA about Commanders. I think that’s why they sued. They’d rather a derogatory reference than being erased. Some didn't mind (your reference). Some did (OP link). Maybe this lawsuit will allow a “compromise” where they both settle on a more appropriate name that acknowledges the NA community. Good PR and “Commanders” doesn’t really blow me away as a great team name.

It’s not like the N word because it’s a different word in a different set of circumstances. Not everything is “just like the n-word”. This movement is deleting a people from our culture and history. So this isn’t framed by how its similar in circumstances it is to the N word, but by its shared culture with Braves, Blackhawks and Seminoles. You see a bad word being purged, I see a culture being purged. If they re-named their team after the predominant NA culture of the area, I’d be right there next to you. But that’s the thing. There isn’t a single reference to NA culture that isn’t considered “offensive” by some. So while this particular name is likely the most offensive of the bunch, it’s also just another assault on NA’s by a gang of litigious white knights.

I can see how you see the difference and I don’t think you’re a bad person . I want to make sure that’s clear brother. My question is, who are you to decide if it’s offensive enough to eliminate all NA’s completely from the team? If that specific word was the issue than why not change it to a less supposedly offensive Indian name? But the thing is, there is no “non-offensive” NA name, as challenges to the Braves, Seminoles and Blackhawk can attest. It’s because they are NA that they are attacked and that’s the problem.

You can try to justify whitewashing NA’s out of existence all you want, doesn’t make it right. Looks like we have a new squeaky wheel now don’t we. Will you support this whee like the last or are you afraid of what other non-NA’s would think of you?

Like I’ve consistently said from the beginning on this topic. Deleting these proud societies that’ve earned the respect of their adversaries from our collective consciousness does not help them. non-NA’s trying to impress other non-NA’s about how good they are, patting each other on the back, mindless of the destruction they leave in their wake.
