The Dolphins had all the time they needed to score. Our timeouts were to preserve time for us after they did.

Sounds like we agree in principle. I think it’s like every other pick and all hinges on if the player drafted is good or bad. I agree that drafting for need only would lead drafting players too soon and therefore lead to more bad more bad players being drafted. But with Elam, he was a consensus 1st round pick to most draft experts. So the Elam pick filled a need, but he wasn’t a reach.

Not disagreeing that it wasn’t drafting for need. but consider this. We were 13 seconds from beating the Chiefs and had just signed Von Miller. We have a pretty gaping hole at CB. Is it necessarily wrong to draft for need provided that you think the guy can actually play?

Do you remember who our starting CBS were slated to be going into that 2022 draft? Tre was coming off his ACL and wouldn’t even play until 1/2 way through the year. Dane Jackson was there, Siran Neal, Cam Lewis, Nick McCloud, Olijah Griffin, and Tim Harris. Beane would have been unforgivably negligent to not draft a cornerback early-especially that draft which had a lot of highly rated CB prospects. So Elam didn’t work out. Neither did 1/2 the other picks in the first round. It happens. It doesn’t mean Beane stinks or is incompetent. He picked the wrong guy…just like every other GM has done at some point in their careers (but without all of his success too)

They were from crappy teams. I think you missed your own point 🤣

Ty Johnson was with the Jets before they cut him. Is he a scrap heap bum or did the Jets, because they are a terrible organization, not know what they had? Same question for McGovern (Dallas), Poyer (Browns), etc. You get the point.

I LOVE Tyer Sports. My son and I watch him all the time. He is absolutely hilarious. I think his schtick is100% tongue in cheek-like a bad guy wrestler from the 80s.

My appreciation for Lamar has really grown over the past few seasons. He is an amazing QB and the best compliment I can give him is that I was literally praying that the Ravens would punt at the end. In addition, he is classy. The way he handled himself after this loss and the playoff loss last year is exactly the way Josh reacts in the same situations-congratulatory to the other QB, owning the defeat himself and taking blame for teammates who let him down. Josh is the best QB in the league. I would take him over anyone who has even played the position. Lamar is great too.

Lamar won two MVPs before Henry was even on the Ravens. Lamar is a once in a generation talent at QB...unfortunately for him, it is Josh's generation too. Josh is sitting there too in those situations. The ability to remain stoic when the chips are down is a great quality in a leader.

I thought the same thing. Was literally praying the Raven would punt. I heard an interview with Lamar that he wanted to go for the first down but was cramping and wasn't physically able to take the field. Even so, Harbaugh should have taken a TO and given Lamar another minute to see if he could take that last snap.

Doing what to the masses? Offering them a product at a certain price and then giving them the choice of paying for it or not? If that is the net result of all of this so-called greed, it’s pretty benign. Seriously, some people need to stop seeing themselves as perpetual victims and start looking at life as though you all have some agency. If legal NFL stream is a bad product and doesn’t deliver value then don’t buy. If streaming NFL legally is a good product and you can’t afford it, then cut back on other areas or get a side hustle so that you can afford it…or do without and congratulate yourself for being a responsible adult and living within your means.

Watching football was a luxury when it was free, too. football is not a necessity.

Im not moralizing, I’m trying to be precise in our language. It is not making a moral statement to say that we should all use words with their universally understood meanings. People are co-opting words like steal, etc and using them in ways that are way different than in the ways we would all agree are wrong.

And you didn’t answer the question. Notice the shift in your language. You went from “stealing” to “taking advantage” with just the slightest pushback. And since watching NFL games is a luxury and 100% voluntary you aren’t even being taken advantage of. All the so-called moral arguments for watching illegal streams hinge on redefining words like theft, steal, exploit, etc from their universally understood and condemned meanings to something else that they have never meant.

If your moral framework can’t say that I’d be wrong to steal his car then your moral compass is off.
