Coach Tuesday

Honestly Americans are dumber than trees.

If the GOP embraces classical liberalism they’ll get my vote again. Unfortunately I think libertarianism is becoming less and less mainstream and I don’t see any way Republicans can cement a majority by promising to cut social security, open the borders and abolish trade restrictions. That would be a 180-degree flip from the Trump populist platform. And I’ll add - libertarianism and “states rights” don’t really coexist. Most of the GOP base believe strongly that states should have the power to enact their own broad restrictions on liberty (drug laws, abortion laws, voter qualification requirements etc.). That is directly at odds with true libertarianism.

Ah yes, the annual "Here me out" thread. Alpha was a real darkhorse candidate in this year's pool. I had half my chips on T Master and the rest on Barbarian. Darn it.

What am I projecting? I just asked a question about the thread title, and that pompous geezer who punishes all of us because he’s mad at his communist sister called me stupid. I mean it is time for bed for me, I agree with that much. I’ve got plenty of faults but stupidity isn’t near the top of that list.

You don’t sound too improved, sewer king. And some of your followers around here sound totally unglued, like they’re one DV call away from suicide by cop.

Then why wouldn’t he just say it was a health issue? Correct me if I’m wrong but aren’t Spain, Morse and Murphy the three biggest FA acquisitions for Beane thus far? McD has benched all of them (or at least two of them, whatever the hell he meant re: Morse).

Knox is a terrible football player. He seems to be one of those million dollar body, ten cent head type of dudes. Just lacks the right amount of focus and instincts for the sport. It’s why he did nothing in college and why he continues to squander his opportunities here. Also seems like he may be a knucklehead. Let’s be honest, if you got to place a bet before the season on the two players most likely to get themselves onto the COVID list, wouldn’t Knox and Norman have been the frontrunners? Knuckleheads.

9/10 the Bills win and Cardinals’ fans (fan?) are moaning about their All Pro corner giving up the game winning TD. Great players make great plays. And Bill O’Brien is a mouth-breathing moron.

Really good takes here. The difference in penalties and tackling between the two teams was stark. I gotta give McD and Frazier credit for getting the backups ready to play but the missed tackles has been a problem all season, and the penalties reflect a disturbing lack of attention to detail. And totally agree that the production crew and the refs seemed off, kind of like Allen seemed off, something about this game was just bizarro. Weird spots, incorrect down and distance calls, etc. Just one of those shoes where the dealer keeps hitting miraculous 21s after flashing a 5, sometimes you just gotta cash in what’s left of your chips and call it a night.

That’s one of the best plays I’ve ever seen. Been watching football a long time.

And it’s partially because Gabe Davis is too passive a player. Doesn’t fight for the ball and doesn’t work the refs. He seems kind of easy to defend.

Good news is we won’t play Hopkins again for many years unless it’s a Super Bowl. He PWNs Tre White.

That’s ok - an NFC loss helps our playoff tie breaker.

Great game. It happens.

I’m guessing this is where the members of The Exodus now congregate?

It’s funny, 2020 was so crazy that people missed the fact that the government DID admit to contact with UFOs (not aliens, but UFOs). Google it, the videos are kinda nuts, the Air Force pilots who interacted with the objects are adamant that they are not technology that presently exists. Oh please. The 911 files? Why, to show that it was an inside job with the help of Mossad? Anyone who actually believes that should [self-censored to avoid being banned].

FWIW I am a fan of the kick steps. Not gonna die on this hill but based solely on my limited personal experience (i.e. getting smoked by more athletic dudes doing that to me on the tag rugby pitch) it’s a sign of a highly creative athlete.

Oh jeez. Nothing about UFOs? You’re a good football poster but this is a wishlist of loon conspiracy theories. Come on man.

We’re at THAT part of the relationship.

WHATABOUT WHATABOUT WHATABOUT WHATABOUT WHATABOUT WHATABOUT WHATABOUT WHATABOUT WHATABOUT

Just... wow.

As I keep saying - tuning in to watch Allen play every Sunday brings me the most joy I've had as a football fan since the early '90s. I actually think it might be more fun now, he's just such a unicorn and every single play is an adventure, you might see something you've never seen before in your life. Also this great article.

I believe Grambling is from WNY. He's a Bills fan.

How do you exist?

Interesting stuff about Knox. He’s been all hype and little production so far in his career and he’s definitely at a crossroads. Injuries, drops, penalties and missed blocks have been real problems for him. But the ability is there and it sounds like the Bills turned down a few lowball offers for him at the deadline so they still think he can turn it around. It’s really time for him to flash.
