No offense, but it’s the responsibility of people who are not cops to regulate the behavior of people who are. It’s why the people ultimately in charge are civilians, not officers, both of the police and the military. Having a hard, dangerous job is not and cannot be a blank check for reckless behavior. The standard…

No, they do not. That’s the PROBLEM. When you have zero information, you don’t ASSUME anything, you go find out, and react accordingly. How many fucking people have to get shot before this mindset dies?

Cops shouldn’t have guns by default to begin with...

The Falcons defense was on the field, by the end of the game, for twice the number of plays as the Patriots defense. They basically played an entire extra GAME. That’s not shitting the bed, that’s full on dying on the field. They had nothing left from the 4th quarter on.

I mean, at that point you were just getting blown out.

That’s not true. If you try and miss, you lose possession of the ball, no matter what down it is. Ifyou line up for a kick and don’t (bad snap, fake etc), as long as you don’t turn it over you keep the ball.

10% is like, the definition of almost no chance. Not even getting into how percentages are not probabilities.

Watching that I thought I must have imagined the first running play (or it went longer than it looked) and it was still first down. When it said 3rd and 6 I said out loud “no, it’s only 2nd”. Like, what? How do you even run the ball in that situation if you’re not just icing the clock or have another play ready to run…

The coach would not get hammered if a kicker misses a 40 yard field goal. The kicker would be infamous if that cost the team the game. It’s what everyone expected in that situation.

You are an idiot tho.

How’s that work on defense, do ya think? Because I think that you either end up playing with an injury the Pat’s exploit, or you get caught trying to get off the field while your replacement runs on for however many yards that’s worth. If you are hurt, you sit the fuck down.

I still can’t understand that. Even if you want to be aggressive and continue throwing, you don’t EVER move the ball out of field goal range intentionally, all on your own. 3 step drop, scan 1, scan 2, scan 3, and either the balls in on the way to a receiver, or on the way out of bounds. Not to mention how many times…

And what was the Falcons plan after the Patriots scored and kicked off with a minute left to go? Like, you either throw long to the sidelines or 20+ down the middle, or you run the ball and kill the clock. You don’t throw 4 yards up the middle then spike it on 2ND DOWN AND 6, then end up having to actually punt the…

You’re THAT Guy, I guess. Good luck with that. I’m a Pistons fan, for the record.

How the hell else would he prove his credentials? He’d need to provide evidence that the work was his own, wouldn’t he? Even if he didn’t, and it was published, it would be just a matter of some legwork to find his identity based on a sample.

That doesn’t make him not hurt, that makes him trying to ride emotion through his physical limitations. Also something extremely common in sports. What was the consistent level of his play? We saw him get hurt (a couple of times), we saw him come back too soon and basically limp the rest of the way. That there was the…

The problem continues to be that the people who support him and voted for him simply don’t care, and the protests are not really affecting their opinions. We’re making ourselves feel better, but it’s not changing anything, nor likely will. The best outcome from that line of effort is that he doesn’t win reelection. In…

The thing is, he also does a lot of stuff that he said he would, but no one actually believed would happen. So he’s crazy that way.

Your shoulders are going to be sorest the nxt day. narrower seems to squeeze the chest more at the top of the pushup tho in my experience.

I mean, he was obviously hurt. That’s a factual thing that happened. How does that not mean anything? People are acting as if it’s a new thing in sports, people getting hurt before and during big games/series and not playing up to their normal standard. When it happens to the single most important player on the team,…
