Yup. It was more like 4th and 1/2-yard. Why the hell not show your guys you believe in them? The way NE was moving the ball and controlling the time of possession, it left our D really gassed. Beating the Pats requires you to keep Brady & Edelman off the field, and we just gave it right back to them after a 3 and out. And as it turned out — PREDICTABLY — Brady was right back to the spot three plays later.

At this point, I’m pretty much in favor of losing Hughes because the refs just absolutely hate him. They flag him easier than anyone in the league for personal fouls and call nothing when he’s mauled. And, as a second point, his run D is terrible.

Call me whatever, but we should’ve gone for it on the 4th down before. Within 3 plays, NE was right back there anyway. Gotta keep Brady off the field.

True. Very true. No establishing intro narrative, just jumped right in. JJ having to clean up and having to retcon Rian Johnson to a degree left no option unless it would be 3 hours. I had read some of the fanboy criticism in the lead-up and imo it was very unwarranted.

Even having had some core spoilers for TROS, and disappointed in Luke’s plotline in these sequels, I really liked it. Satisfying wrap to this 3-film arc and to the overall. When I rewatched TLJ prior, I skipped the Finn/Rose/Canto Bight(?) parts — which had zero importance to the story anyway — and doing this made that much more watchable. I will say that this seems a natural stepping-off point for both JJ and Kathleen Kennedy. Dave Filoni and Jon Favreau have proved in the Clone Wars series and with The Mandalorian that they have a far better grasp on the storytelling for the franchise, and ought to be given the keys to Lucasfilm.

I tried looking on the google to find which local broadcast channel might be airing the game, but have come up empty. Is it going to be on WBZ in the Boston market? Will have to hope for good weather & all that as the Boston broadcasting tower is still running on low power after the antenna “repack” realignment of channel frequencies. Not due to be completed until spring 2020. This is ordinarily one of the very few benefits of being a Bills fan in New England region.

Why the hell does he bring it out of the end zone like every time, only to get crushed at the 20 or, like here, get a penalty. We start at the 10 instead of the 25. Waste of a spot by a guy who thinks he can make something out of every return. No, he can’t.

Guess H$ got the fire lit under his bum.

Can someone explain why all of the commentators and announcers use just “Baker” for Baker Mayfield? I don’t watch pregame or cable shows much, but it’s always “Baker” when I’ve heard it. I don’t quite get that.

Condolences, Clem. ? We had my mum’s funeral five years ago today, 61 from pancreatic-area cancer.

My dad was a rural carrier until just a few years ago. The USPS has agreements with FedEx to deliver some certain packages on the final leg of their journey, which includes in the mailbox, so that wouldn’t be against the law. Just looked it up, it’s termed SmartPost. Just FYI. Word is that this agreement may be ending this year.

So, she’s going to play the ’my husband is the worst human being alive’ card in an attempt to get the kids and alimony. Sounds like the trauma inflicted on the kids has come from HER. And how about that last sentence? “For REAL victims of domestic violence”... as if her husband was not just a victim of domestic violence. What a POS.

In essence, this is what the league has tried to do with replays going through NY central office & Riveron. In this way the idea would be achieving consistency. The implementation of it, however, has been a complete disaster, especially WRT PI calls & non-calls. At this point, I’m 100 percent certain that the league uses refs to both favor certain teams & players or as a way to nudge keeping game scores closer for viewership / ratings. I haven’t watched NHL much in awhile, but it seemed to me that in the new era, the refs there aren’t the media whores they are in the NFL. And it’s a consistent job rather than 16 games a year. It might be an idea to just lock away the replay people and give them no info on what the original call was and no contact with the refs on the field other than delivering a verdict. That might help, both in actual bias or perceived bias.

Awesome series. Is the military operative lead the same actor as the king in the Bud Light ads?

Kevin Johnson was out at CB2 last drive. this drive is Wallace. See the difference?!?!!!

Can someone tell Daboll that it’s not one or the other, all run or all pass?

Seconded on using checks, for that reason. It happened at my brother’s wedding in the late ‘90s. We have no idea who did it and sets a marriage off on a very unpleasant course. Cash is too easy to disappear to light fingers and there is NO safety net of cancelling checks or the thief just not being able to cash them. In this day and age, it’s a good idea to have some kind of security camera set up at the gift / envelope table. This truly is a fallen world.

Guy is getting torched week after week. He is the weak link in an otherwise solid backfield. I know this is a league that's tilted in favor of offenses. Opponents will get catches. But, man, he's giving it up left and right, and weak in run support to boot. Taron or Kevin Johnson, anyone? Then again, it wasn't helping that even Tre White was giving Beckham 10-yard cushions from the line. Seriously?

Why?!?!!!!

Probably, occasionally it’s a chair, occasionally it’s an impromptu bookcase / clothes-hanger / step stool, and occasionally it’ll swallow your dog and stuff like in “Little Shop of Horrors.” #FeedMeMorris

Foster didn’t impress with his ball tracking on the long throw last week. That would’ve been huge. He overran the ball when, if he were tracking, he stops short and hauls it in. Rusted on the bench. McKenzie at least shows something.

The Dolphins were allowed by the NFL to do an aqua version of their popular throwback jersey. Would that we could do the same for our throwback.

Having read some of the spoilers that are out there, including an image on reddit that appears to corroborate some of the arc WRT Kylo, I can understand the treatment of Rey’s backstory to this point.

Yes, after they gave short shrift to the last season of GOT so they could capitalize ?, I can’t say that I was very enthused. Commit to something FULLY and see it through to a satisfying end without rushing / coasting.
