    Was that the right call on the batted-completed-pass by Brady? I thought the ball would be spotted as if it were an Incomplete Pass. But they spotted it like it was a completed pass. That was not the spot, i was expecting.

    Rams declined the penalty. They declined it because there was no loss of down on that call. It was a third down play. So they could have had them in 3rd and long with the penalty yardage (and repeating the down) or they could have them in 4th down. By declining the penalty the Rams made it a completion but elected to put them in 4th down.

    No, i know all that. What I’m asking is this: If a pass is ILLEGAL, then whether they accept the penalty or decline the penalty, shouldnt it be considered an incomplete pass. My issue is with the SPOT.

    I saw the hi-lites. What the hell was Brady doing on that last INT ?

    And what was McVay doing throwing it 50 times? Has he been consulting with Martz, lately?

    One thing is for certain. This year, conclusively proves that Brady and Belichick were flashes in the pan.

    Tampa defense

    3rd in total yards
    3rd in yards per play allowed
    2nd in pressure percentage
    9th in opponent passer rating
    9th in passing yards
    5th in yards per pass attempt allowed
    26th in completion percentage allowed
    1st in rushing yards per game
    1st in yards rushing per attempt
    13th in opponent 3rd down conversions
    8th in opponent offensive points per game

    ============

    Isnt that a little odd, to have all those numbers and be 26th in completion percentage?

    Mike Davis:https://www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v42/n22/mike-davis/short-cuts
    Rio Grande Valley Republicans
    Mike Davis

    “….As the fantasy of great gains in Texas dissipated, Democrats were stunned to discover that a high turnout had instead propelled a Trump surge along the border. In the three Rio Grande Valley counties (the agricultural corridor from Brownsville to Rio Grande City), which Clinton had carried by 39 per cent, Biden achieved a margin of only 15 per cent. More than half of the population of Starr County, an ancient battlefield of the Texas farmworkers’ movement, lives in poverty, yet Trump won 47 per cent of the vote there, an incredible gain of 28 points from 2016. Further up river he actually flipped 82 per cent Latino Val Verde County (county seat: Del Rio) and increased his vote in Maverick County (Eagle Pass) by 24 points and Webb County (Laredo) by 15 points. The Democratic congressman Vincente Gonzalez (McAllen) had to fight down to the wire to save the seat he won by 21 per cent in 2018. Even in El Paso, a hotbed of Democratic activism, Trump made a six point gain. Considering South Texas as a whole, the Democrats had great hopes of winning the 21st Congressional District, which connects San Antonio and Austin, as well as the 78 per cent Latino 23rd Congressional District, which is anchored in the western suburbs of San Antonio but encompasses a vast swathe of southwest Texas. In both cases, the Republicans won fairly easily.

    The explanation? …see link

    I cant think of any Ram WR that turns into a RB the way Woods does. He does not run like a WR. He’s got moves, he’s physical, he’s got a RB’s vision.

    I’ve been saying the exact same thing for a couple of game chats now. He is more like a back with the ball in his hands than any Rams WR I can think of, going as far back as I can go.

    No, thats revisionist history. You said he was better than Chuck Norris.
    I said he was better than Jim Brown.

    As mentioned, I’m not on twitter. But was wondering if this is trending at all. Have seen articles about it in the WaPo and other newspapers, but they’re usually behind a firewall, so I won’t use their links here. This is worth putting in the twitter thread, if you guys have anything on it:

    https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2020/11/georgia-secretary-of-state-brad-raffensperger-lindsey-graham-signature-mismatch-ballots.html

    Republican secretary of state in Georgia says Graham and other Republicans are pressuring him to throw out legal votes, and he and his wife have gotten death threats because Trump lost the state.

    I’m not worried about a handful of window breakers in Portland. I am worried about the continued lies coming from the MSM regarding “anarchists,” where they literally get everything wrong about the philosophy possible, and just aid and abet Trump and his fellow fascists

    I’m appalled that so many Americans fall for these lies, and ignore the fact that far-right groups overwhelm them in number, and are protected by the police.

    Here’s an article about a photographer for the MAGA rallies talking about how the police never arrest the Proud Boys, and they and their fellow fascists may now be half the crowd at Trump rallies:

    https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2020/11/donald-trump-rally-photographer-interview.html

    “Anarchists” get arrested for just existing. They’ve even been executed under Trump’s orders. No trial. Just executed. Proud Boys and company get a wink and a nod and are increasingly emboldened to commit violence in the streets and send death threats to health officials, people counting election votes, etc. etc.

    The focus on “anarchists” is bullshit.

    Did you see this, W ? Different subject, but something you might be interested in:
    Law:https://www.courthousenews.com/justice-department-asserts-unreviewable-discretion-to-kill-us-citizens/

    “…WASHINGTON (CN) — Drawing alarm at the D.C. Circuit, a lawyer for the United States argued Monday that the government has the power to kill its citizens without judicial oversight when state secrets are involved.

    “Do you appreciate how extraordinary that proposition is?” U.S. Circuit Judge Patricia Millett asked Justice Department attorney Bradley Hinshelwood, paraphrasing his claim as giving the government the ability to “unilaterally decide to kill U.S. citizens.”

    The hearing before the federal appeals court came as the government fights to hold off allegations by two journalists who say it wrongly targeted them as terrorists in Syria.

    One of the journalists, U.S. citizen Bilal Abdul Kareem, says his interviews with al-Qaida-linked militants landed him on the U.S. kill list. Just in June and August 2016, Kareem says, the U.S. government targeted him five times, including one drone strike involving a U.S.-made Hellfire missile….see link”

    Watched the replay. I agree with Aikman, that Russell Wilson just seemed ‘off’ all game long. He kinda looked zombie-like on the sidelines to me, like he was sick or somethin. I know the Rams D played well, but I think it was more than the Rams D that was affecting Wilson.

    Seahawks are a long way from the Legion of Boom. I remember when that D had so much intensity, and they stuffed the run back then too. Now, they are a mess, granted they have key injuries.

    Rams offense is a beautiful thing to watch when they can run. Though, i suppose every offense looks good against that Defense.

    Aikman always calls Robert Woods ‘unselfish’. He calls him that five times a game. I guess thats Aikman-speak for “a great blocker.” Woods is unlike any Ram WR i can think of. I’m not saying he’s the best, but he’s different. I cant think of any Ram WR that turns into a RB the way Woods does. He does not run like a WR. He’s got moves, he’s physical, he’s got a RB’s vision.
    And of course, he may be the best blocking WR the Rams have ever had.
    And his route-running is probly in the top-five. Maybe not as good as Ike, or Ellard, but its in the top 5.

    The Rams just got worse, on offense, obviously, losing Whitworth. Dangerous waters ahead for Goff.

    I thought Brockers played very well. Floyd made the splash plays, but i thought Brockers had a great game.

    Williams looks like an all-pro to me. Which would be ridiculous.
