Did I miss this posted already? *EDIT: fake tweet removed

Can't imagine they would drop the only Thursday night game scheduled that day.

One question about points expiring...how easy is it to keep track of things like [date of first points received] and [date of last points received]? If you can track that, then having them expire after X number of days since the last points received (I suggest 30 or 45) would be fine. I like the idea of a point system because it imposes a measure of consistency across different people, so some folks don't feel like they are being treated differently by different mods. I agree with others that the most points should be given for Abusive behavior (5), then Politics (3). Are you able to give points for both, such as when someone bring politics into a discussion in an abusive way?

A couple of times...once in Glacier NP, a grizzly was climbing parallel to us as we were hiking up to one of the glaciers, but far enough away to not be a danger. Another time just a couple years ago in Tetons NP, wife and I almost walked into one near Jenny Lake. Think it was a smaller black bear. Ignored us, thankfully. I think we were about 30 feet away from it.

I know this is a more humorous thread, but...

I appreciate the post...I remember when Allen was the pick I wasn’t sure what to think...I wasn’t thrilled that he was more of a high-ceiling project QB...I was hoping for someone who wouldn’t take several years to develop, but knew he had a chance. So I was more wait and see...one thing I love about Josh is that he’s just so damn fun to watch, even when he’s frustrating...you never know what he’s going to end up doing on any particular play, it could be head scratching or it could be spectacular, but always exciting...

You really couldn't have scripted a better start to the season for him. Hope he keeps it going.

Woo hoo!! That's good to hear. Either or both could still be held out, but it looks promising. Love being proven wrong! Honestly, the ability of these guys to come back from injury is astonishing.

My two takeaways from that awesome video: 1. I love Dawkins 2. WTF was up with Murph? Did he have indigestion that day or something? I always thought he was bad, but I can't imagine a radio announcer being any less enthusiastic about big plays from the team. The only one he got excited about was the Brown TD, the rest just sounded like "meh".

Yeah, that's what I was referring to in that statement about prior threads. Didn't know if anyone would get it.

Yeah, basically all opinions outside the organization on any issue are useless. So, hot take. Just giving you my opinion, not what I'd do if I was the coach. I know these guys play whenever they possibly can, and nobody is 100% once the season starts. But if there is any question about their health I'd say the prudent thing would be to hold them out this week, even though we'd all like to see them play.

Fair point! We'll see. As I said, maybe they'll be healthy enough to play. I hope so... Why hold them out because it's the Dolphins, but not the Rams? Dolphins game is far more important (divisional game and AFC game).

Awesome take, thanks. I know one has a shoulder injury that can impact tackling, and the other has a hamstring injury which tends to linger if it doesn't heal fully. So yeah, you do you.

Having 4 excellent WRs on the field is a huge advantage. It forces the defense to have more DBs on the field, which is great because (a) most DBs can't cover these guys, and (b) it opens things up for the running game since there are likely fewer LBs on the field. That includes running by Josh. Once this offense gets comfortable (especially the OL), I expect to see a lot of this formation.

Our defense was clearly weakened by the losses of Edmunds and Milano. Those two are essential and we don't have backups that can do what they do. We had no answer to Fitz (Fitz!) and the Dolphins attack, although at least part of that was probably due to heat and exhaustion. Nevertheless, we need those two back badly. Not this week, though. I don't expect to see either of them on the field against the Rams. It's possible Edmunds dresses, but I don't expect to see him play unless needed. Why? - Non-conference game, doesn't mean much (despite old prior threads) - Still in first place even if we lose - Still undefeated in the division and conference even if we lose - Brutal stretch of 5 consecutive AFC games coming up after (Raiders, Titans, Chiefs, Jets, Patriots) - Need them as healthy as possible for those five games, the AFC is at stake Unless they're both near 100%, give them time to rest and heal up. We're gonna need them much more in a couple of weeks.

It's true any year, but this year in particular...whoever gets through the season with the fewest key injuries will be the last one standing.

Fins had a LB spying on Allen all game, so running was less of an option. But the Bills were fine with that, because it left one less person back in coverage, and Allen picked them apart because of it.

Honestly, I have no freaking idea what they were thinking. What the hell is wrong with some of these coaches? You call a run play there, you're more than likely to get the first down and seal the game; even if you don't, you force them to use one of their two remaining time outs. This isn't that hard.

I saw Dawson Knox had a concussion, but I didn't see anything else. Moss left for a bit but returned later in the game.

Mad respect for the guy, but I'll never forgive him for delivering a Super Bowl to the Pats**** with that INT from the 1-yard line.

Lots of running up front to set up some excellent play-actions.

Or nearly every game we've played the last decade against the Patriots****.

Yeah, it's picky, and it was at least a good completion. But then there's the missed Brown TD too. I guess Josh has a couple of those a game...

Not to be too picky, because I think overall he had a really nice game, but that one to Beasley was frustrating. He hits Beasley in stride and it's 6 points, he had the defense split. In the end, we missed the FG on that drive.

I'm just worried about the LB injuries. Any update on those? I missed almost all of them.
