YES! I'm not on any social media but there is nothing I love more than a good burner account outing!

Yeah, another false equivalence.

Oh dont get me wrong, a good portion is on the players as well. They should absolutely know better at this point of their football careers. And please dont ever confuse my Wednesday posts with GDT posts. But for issues that are so widespread and consistent, the accountability starts with coaching.

Of course. Voting is completely different than being given a gun and power of authority over anyone you come across on the street. Complete false equivalence.

The best cops are the ones that have 4 year degrees in pretty much anything else other than criminology/criminal justice/law enforcement/etc. The entire point of requiring a 4 year degree is to produce a more well-rounded, experienced, mature person who has had a chance to interact and deal with a diverse set of people. https://policeofficer.org/importance-college-degree-police/

Ah so you agree one bad apple spoils the bunch!

Need a citation on that one. He bounced around 3 different schools and was kicked out of one for domestic abuse if that's what you mean by degree.

It's been an issue through his entire tenure.

It's an issue on Special Teams and one that has plagued our defense for years. These players all learned technique since high school and made it all the way through college ball. Yes, they know how to tackle. But they arent. There is something being missed by the coaches. And at the very least it is on the coaches to fix, whether through different motivation or punishment.

When a bunch of guys are making the same mistake, that is coaching.

Also, in countries that require a 4 year degree in order to be a police officer, there are far lower rates of abuse and corruption. The idea that a just out of high school person can take 6 months of training and then be thrown out onto the streets with a gun is a big reason we are where we are today.

💯 No excuse for Davis' pitiful attempt at a soft shoulder check instead of going in for a real tackle, other than bad coaching. Like I've said elsewhere, we are an undisciplined, poorly-coached team that happens to have a Josh Allen.

That's a problem not a feature.

Youre focusing on the wrong thing because it is a meme saying, not a literal definition

So in my lifetime I've had a few incidents that I could have (should have) been arrested over. There was even one that I could have been killed by police (10 cops, guns drawn), and they would have been justified in doing so. It would have been a tragic mistake, but they wouldnt have been legally wrong. I not only survived all of them, but have never been arrested in any of them. The main reason being, my desire to stay out of jail is larger than my sense of entitlement/ego (unlike Hill). So whenever I did have contact with the police in those situations, the first and only thing out of my mouth was "I'm sorry officer, I'm an idiot. I'm just stupid. I'm sorry. Sure, whatever you say. Yes, sir. Yep, I'm an idiot." And in doing so across ALL situations I was let go with just warnings. It may have looked wimpy in the moment, but I at least got the last laugh like "I cant believe they let me go" as I'm pulling away a free man, and the officers were able to not fear for their lives and act accordingly. It wasnt difficult to comply in those situations. Just roll your frickin window down. Prove your point another day.

Responding to an officer knocking on your window with "DONT KNOCK ON MY WINDOW LIKE THAT BRO" is an overly aggressive action that fits the meme saying of "choosing violence" He's actively escalating the situation, which, when dealing with 4 cops outside of your car, is choosing violence.

No 13 year old girls care about Ryan Fitzpatrick. Nor are they on twitter. Maybe if it made it to TikTok.

I mean, Hill does have a long history of violence and complete lack of impulse control. Maybe it didnt matter much in this case since none of the officers were women so there wasnt anyone he normally prefers to brutalize. But he was immediately aggressive and uncooperative, so who knows what comes next. It would have been very easy for Hill to make it clear he wasnt a threat of anything. But he chose violence.

IMO, and again I cant believe Im siding with the cops, I think those statements fall right in line with why they wanted him to keep his window down. It's not about his celebrity or embarassment, it was about their safety. He should have listened to a very simple request. Totally agreed that pretty much everything that happened after they pulled him out was over the line and cop needs to be punished/suspended/fired. But this all could have been avoided pretty easily with a better attitude from Hill, or simply not speeding through neighborhoods in the first place.

Coldnt be happier for scumbag Jimmy Haslam

Man, I'm never one to side with police but even I was surprised at how baiting/confrontational/escalating Hill was with seemingly reasonable requests like keeping your blacked-out window down. Totally understand why that would freak cops out since they cant see what you are doing, if you're going for a weapon, etc. Maybe Hill didnt have to listen to the cop there and technically had the right to keep his window up, but read the room dude. Know your situation and the situation the cops are in. Shouldnt have to be a big deal if he wasnt such an #######. I do agree that after that and after pulling him out of the car, the one cop got way too aggressive. But this could have all been pretty easily prevented by simply keeping his window down.

No, they dont track "weak situational decisions" as stats. You have to go back and watch as we neglect to even try to take advantages of situations where we could put teams away. There's never a killer instinct when we have teams on the verge of breaking. We'll play conservative and run the ball, or drop into a prevent defense way too early in a game. Happens all the time, watch for it the rest of this season.

Two different things. Being able to win big a few times a season because Josh is rolling, or ultimately winning by 10+ because of a late TD, are not indicators of situations where we have chances to put teams away early and instead play conservatively and keep it close until the end.

Thanks. Looks like Brady was telling the truth (not that I doubted him)

Reaching in the bin for a DEEP CUT!
