Did you see the ridiculously poor angles Watt and Dupree took in rushing the passer? My God they suck. It’s amazing how losing Shazier affected the entire defense. His absence exposed a lot of overrated players on that side of the ball.

Eh. They got inside the 10 with 47 seconds left and the clock stopped. The next play was the intentional grounding that brought the clock down to 23 seconds before the next snap. That play is the killer. I guess you could kick the field goal on second down with the clock running, but it would have been tough. Of…

Yeah, if Ben can’t toss that play for a sneak where he’s 18 of 19 in success, then there’s a bigger problem with him as QB.

I also don’t understand how they could get themselves into a situation where they’d be going for and scoring a touchdown on 4th down as time expired to close the deficit to three points. Once there’s, say, ten seconds left and you’re still down by ten points, there’s really no point in going for a touchdown because…

You’d think a guy in his 14th season as a QB would have the experience to audible out from a bullshit stupid call into something more appropriate to the situation. Manning did it, Brady does it, Favre would actually look over at the coach and dare him to say anything about it.

I get, and even appreciate, honest introspection after such a loss, but this is the second time in a row that Big Ben has basically assigned blame on the play calling directly after the loss while seemingly washing his own hands of the mess. Just the speed he seems to do it with is baffling.

Consent?

I join PaulMooneysTongue in giving major side-eye and refuting the medical report. But I do hear you.

Trump didn’t say what was on everyone’s mind. If he said what was on your mind, it’s because you’re as horrible as he is. If the only way you can justify your opinions to yourself is to pretend like everyone else shares them, you may want to consider the possibility that you just plain suck.

I just have all the love for light projection art protests/projects. It’s unstoppable, and similar to graffiti without property damage/a justification for arrest and fines.

Obesity is a risk factor for poor health, but it is not actually a measure of poor health. Poor diet is a risk factor for poor health, but it is not actually a measure of poor health. Lack of exercise is a risk factor of poor health, but it is not actually a measure of poor health.

Take the win, Nick.

Oh good, the Philadelphia fans tasted the slightest bit of success.  

I can’t tell if you’re a Falcons or an Eagles fan.

Before the election, I asked my dad, who has a been a republican since before I was born, how he felt about his party. Whether it still stood for anything. And he told me this is all that matters to him. I kept the email thinking some day I could wave it in his face that they aren’t even following through on any of it:

My assumption with all of these is that Melania has a clause in the pre-nup that evidence of infidelity is the only reason she can divorce him and hope to get a penny. It’s worth $130,000 to him to avoid paying Melania more.

I’m probably wrong (I usually am about almost everything) but I interpret the genuine continent-wide horror and “I need to take a break” reactions of you, me, spartey (upthread) and so many others as evidence that Trump’s racist bullshit is not getting normalized and it is not making his base any bigger. (Louder,…

I dunno, Lincoln did it. 

I did this months ago. I only follow a couple of friends, and interest groups like car clubs.

Love hearing stories about recovery. Good luck.
