"Albert Camus feels towards the French defeat in Dien Bien Phu the way he felt towards the French defeat at the hands of the Nazis. There’s an implicit comparison of the Nazis and the Indochinese. He’s very, very much on the colonialist side." https://t.co/mAVKJeA6E4

Its a very White Christmas
here in WV.

The mRNA vaccines (Pfizer and Moderna) are kind of brilliant at a science level. I’ve had a few people in my real non-Twitter life ask me to explain how it works so I’m going to try my best here in this thread while I’m waiting for a patient to show.

Nancy Pelosi just agreed to double the budget of Congress' own private, free, government run health clinic by millions of dollars, but still refuses to bring M4A to the floor for a vote. Our elected representatives are literally taunting us.#ForceTheVote https://t.co/oqTBYaGIeY

“Polarization” isn’t intrinsically good or bad, but the kind we have now is a roadblock to progress. We need to find ways to depolarize along culture war lines and repolarize along class war lines. https://t.co/C8Z0cmBUeo

I know no AFL team has a chance against an NFL powerhouse
like the Rams,

I interfaced with this paragraph today:

“Metamodernism is an irreducibly complex and contested term and therefore it is hard to interface with. It emerges from cluster of almost a dozen “post-postmodern” terms, including cosmodernism, altermodernism, remodernism, digimodernism, performatism, hypermodernism, automodernism, renewalism, neomodernism, supermodernism, and transmodernism. Some of these terms have been analyzed comparatively in Supplanting the Postmodern (2015), but inconsistencies and tensions remain unresolved, both of which are important to address as the discourse evolves and our meta-crisis deepens.”

The citizens of #Portland want to know if #Trump is sending in Homeland security to #WashingtonDC to control the #riots? More people seriously hurt in 1 night in DC than in 100's of nights in Portland. Or is it different when he supports the rioters?https://t.co/sRbrxTwo2W

All it takes is a couple of surprises to lead to a loss.

I come in peace to offer a different view. 😎

IMO the thing about JG being a sitting duck against the rush is being exaggerated. Example–even in just the highlights vid you can see him evade/escape the rush a few times during the game. Before the game, the Patz were 2nd in the league in pressure percentage, and sometimes the rush verged on getting there, but it didn’t because he sensed it and escaped or stepped up… ie. made a play. I even went through the vid and noted a few of those plays. They’re at 1:38, 2:29, & 4;12 in: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uRWqmdWindA&feature=emb_err_woyt

He’s not like Wilson when it comes to that but then Wilson is one of the absolute all time best at that. I think what happens with Goff, to be honest, is that some of his worst plays get remembered as this deep indication of who he is…when, no, he is in general better than those worst plays seem to indicate.

In fact here’s another example from the previous game. Arizona pressured him 16 times, according to PRF. That’s the most he has been pressured since early in 2019 against Tampa (when it was 20 times). But no one thinks of him as having endured heavy pressure in the Arizona game. That’s because he is better at reacting to it than a lot of people seem to be assuming.

Well, we dont see it ‘that’ differently. A little different though.

I think Goff is good, and i think they can win a title with him, if he’s surrounded by a ring-quality-team. So, I’m not saying he’s got a huge flaw.

I am comparing him to ‘elite’ QBs in the ‘pocket awareness’ category. Just that category. And I’m saying he does not compare favorably to guys like Wilson.
Like you say, Wilson is a magician in the pocket. Goff is not.

Is Goff ‘below average’ in this thing I’ll just call ‘pocket awareness’? Is Goff average in P.A. ? Is he above-average-but-not-elite in PA ?

I’m not sure.

I’m just saying he’s nowhere near Wilson, or Fran or Marino. Marino had great PA, as you know. He’d slide twelve inches one way or the other and zing.

When i watched the college stuff back in the Wentz vs Goff threads, I thought Goff would be a magician in the pocket. Seemed like he was, in college. But i dont see it now.
