He didn’t miss no seven tackles..
from what I can see he missed two played for sure… 1 and 7 from over pursuing on Elliot…
…2 and 6 took a bad angle and just got an arm on Dak..

I dont think I like the fact that Kiser is this thin-skinned. I dont want players debating game-crap on social media.

vwvParticipantI think about democracy a lot. I roll things over in my mind. “Which form of government is best?,” I ask myself.
All i know is Democracy is bad without an “education system” that prioritizes “critical thinking” and “compassion.” In other words Science plus Compassion.
Critical Thinking to ‘me’ is just another synonym for ‘wisdom.’ And wisdom to me, is “reason” plus “compassion”. Both. Haf to have both.
Now without an education-system that seriously prioritizes Science/reason and Compassion/cooperation, any ‘democracy’ will end up warped and dangerous and eventually a hellscape.
We did not end up with a democracy with an education system that stressed critical thinking/wisdom.
We ended up with a democracy that stressed Corporate-Capitalism. Corporate-Capitalism nurtures, greed, individualism, religion, fear, propaganda, hierarchy, obedience, imperialism, recreation, entertainment, incredible cutting edge technologies and bio-chemical-and-nuclear-weaponry. And general stupidity.
So, thats what we got.
It can be tinkered with, but it cant be reversed.
w
vwvParticipantWell, yes, its just another eruption in the hellscape that is Amerika.
And while it is bad, i have to say, i have always wondered what America would be like if every state made its own abortion decision. I have wondered it that would actually hurt Republicans in the long run. I understand it would hurt poor-women in Red States, etc. I get that. But in the long run, over the long haul, I wonder if it would hurt the Reps. Just something i wonder.
White-Rep-Evangelicals are praising Jesus and Donald Trump today. Big day for them.
In the end, when all is said and done, “Christianity” may be the biggest factor in the end of life on the planet.

COVID-positive WVU students isolated at Arnold Apartments will count as 1 case for Mon County’s map statusMORGANTOWN — WVU students isolated in Arnold Apartments for COVID-19 will be counted as a single COVID case.
The was the bottom line of lengthy discussion offered by Gov. Jim Justice, COVID-19 Czar Clay Marsh, Monongalia County Health Officer Lee Smith and Higher Education Policy Commission Chancellor Sarah Tucker on Wednesday.
Justice first posed the idea of finding a way to ease Monongalia County out of the red by counting WVU’s on-campus COVID-positive students in the same way as congregate jail and nursing home cases on Monday. Wednesday’s announcement was the result of talks among his advisory team on the topic.
Marsh said Wednesday the talks focused on providing for public health while safely opening opportunities to get K-12 kids back into classrooms – Mon schools haven’t opened their door yet as Mon’s been in the red on the School Alert System map since Sept. 8 when school resumed.
Smith said they’ve been examining the data to understand WVU’s impact on community spread. The chief reason Mon has been red, he said, is the high number positive cases in the 20-29 age group – anywhere from 60%-90% of the daily positives.
And the cases are concentrated in Morgantown, not the rural western half of the county, he said. There’s also no evidence that surrounding counties are seeing any spread, including Preston, where more residents come to work in Mon than stay in Preston.
WVU has realized its role in ensuring the health of the community he said. That, combined with the data indicated students isolated in Arnold Apartments should count as a single case.
Looking at WVU and at colleges and universities across the state, Tucker said that a key provision of counting all on-campus isolated cases as one is that those settings are monitored and secure. At WVU, the Arnold residents have 24/7 access to nursing; the building is guarded and entry is accomplished with swipe cards which provides accountability.
They are also looking at offering incentives statewide for off-campus students to come isolate on campus, Tucker said.
And “We’re paying very close attention to the mental health needs of our students who are in quarantine and in isolation,” she said. They will be offering remote counseling services and safe opportunities for those students to get outside…..see link
wvParticipantI have only read the first Dune book. I tried to start the 2nd one earlier this year, and i just didnt grab me. But i do know that one of the main themes Frank Herbert played with was the notion that there aint no saviors. Charismatic Messiah’s are dangerous. Paul was ‘not’ a hero to Frank Herbert. David Lynch’s movie only dealt with the first book, so its understandable that the Paul character is kindof a hero during that movie. But if there had been a continuation of movies, Paul’s dark side would have been shown as his Jihad-war spread across the universe.
Thats my feeble understanding anyway.

======================
wvParticipantYeah, there is something to it, i think.
But then i also think there is something generally toxic about big-city-life.
w
vwvParticipantThe thing i like about Snead is, he has a certain ‘open-ness’ about ‘getting smarter.’ He’s always pursuing mental-improvement. Books on Decision-making, team-building, etc.
He’s kindof a mix of things i like and things i dont like. He’s a hybrid of the Corporate and the Creative.
At any rate, his bust-rate is pretty low, and its starting to look like the Rams might be in the same conversation as the Steelers and Ravens as far as Personnel.
w
vwvParticipantThat one is like something from the 50s.
The country is a Dali painting.
w
vwvParticipantWell, i dont see any reason to pick the Rams, given the last two Eagle-Ram games and seeing-as-how its an east-coast-pandemic-game.
I think Wentz will throw deep, and throw deep often.
I think the Rams will score on a Strip-sack.Not sold on the Rams. I’m gonna go with the Eagles by 3:
Eagles 20
Rams 17w
vwvParticipantProgs did well in Rhode I-land, i see.
wvParticipantWatched the second-half.
After watching the big-controversial-penalty in the final minute, I have to say Ramsey made a hell-uva-play. He was beaten like a drum. The WR barely touched him. But he sold the ‘penalty’ perfectly. I mean it was a puuuurfect sell-job. I had to see it three times in slo-mo before i realized that Ramsey’s
backwards-reaction did not quite match up with the actual ‘push’ by the WR. Just a truly brilliant veteran play by the DB.Ramsey cheated. Effectively. Excellent work to win the inaugural game in the five-billion-dollar post-modern corporate monstrosity.
Oline — The Oline played well as far as run-blocking. Fine job.
Cant say they played well pass-blocking. Any high-school OLine can pass-block for the dink-dunk-screen game. So, i dont give them credit for that.
In the second half when it was third and long — the OLine failed. Not a good sign.
I think I’ve decided that is my ‘test’ for a good OLine – how did they do, in the clutch on third and medium/long?The Defense was good, but not great. Not a single turnover.
I love Kupp being the punt-returner. In Kupp I trust.
What can ya say about Robert Woods. He’s Mr Dependable. He’s Henry Ellard.
No Injuries. Whats up with that?
Great Win.
w
vwvParticipantI’ve watched the first half on Replay.
The thing that jumped out at me was
there were more Cowboy card-board-fans in the stands at So-Fi, than Ram card-board-fans.And the Ram cardboard-fans seemed blah-zay and passive as usual.
Also, Legatron looked unreliable. It may be time to replace him.
Of the Two-Billionaire-Weasels, I thought Kroenke looked more evil. Seems to me, he will go to the deeper circle of hell, in the end. Though maybe it was just the mask.
Looked to me, like the Dallas Cowboys, America’s Team, was wearing the same uniforms they’ve always had. Imagine that. They must not understand marketing.
First-half-ball goes to Malcolm Brown. Nothing fancy, nothing electric, just good hard running. Reminds me of Les Josephson or Cullen Bryant.
I was not impressed with Akers. For one thing, he takes a lot of direct hard hits.Rams OLine looked ok, but McVay didnt really trust it to pass block. Goff was either rolling out or getting rid of it quick. Fine by me, but that will not always work. At some point they gotta be able to pass-block enuff to stretch the field.
w
vwvParticipantThe Eagles have given the Rams problems during the McV era. Why is that?
w
vSeptember 15, 2020 at 9:56 am in reply to: reporter’s videos contradict deputies about incident #121068wvParticipantWell, that bit of idiot-police-brutality is going to cost that dept about a million dollar settlement. And the criminal case will either be dismissed outright or a Jury — in about a 5 minute deliberation — will find the reporter Not Guilty.
wvParticipant…Walker was arrested on charges of battery and obstructing law enforcement officers and ordered held without bail due to an existing felony probation warrant out of Fulton County, the Clayton County Sheriff’s Office said. That warrant is for cruelty to children, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and failure to appear.
===============
Well, it looked to ‘me’ like a clear case of excessive violence by the police.
But I’m curious about the probation warrant. In WV if there is a ‘violation of probation warrant’ the probation-officer or any officer doesnt need any probable cause to make an arrest. The warrant itself is the cause.
Just curious if the officer involved recognized the victim in this case, and knew of the probation-warrant and wanted confirmation of who he was. Maybe the officer got frustrated because he suspected who the guy was, but couldnt prove it without the ID. Maybe the frustration lead to an escalation in tension which lead to the violence.I’m not defending the cop — excessive force is excessive force. Whether there is a warrant or not. I’m just trying to understand the dynamics of what happened, what started the escalation, etc.
A lot of these cases are black and white — excessive force.
A lot of others are tricky, gray area stuff that just comes with the capitalist-law-enforcement-territory.
This case may have a little of both.w
vwvParticipantJeezus-H-christ, that guy went all the way back to 1983 preseason stuff. And even back into the 60s. Cromwell, Johnnie Johnson, Vince Newsome…Mel Owens, Kevin Greene, Fritz Shurmur…
Since when did football-writers start knowing stuff.

vwvParticipantRamblin’ Fan@RamblinFan
The LA Rams found a game one starting safety with the 199th pick of the 2020 NFL Draft, without OTA’s, with the bare minimum of training camp, and facing 2019’s top offense.And he played lights out.
Congratulations @j_fuller4
====================
Enh. My own view iz, that comment right there reflects an over-reaction to one single solitary game in the NFL. Yes, the kid got good reviews in camp, and yes he had one good game.
Encouraging. But one game is one game.
w
vwvParticipantwvParticipantBunch of whiners. LOL Are we going to make a rule change? lmao Tx for posting that stuff. It made my day.
cowboys got hosed. but i’ll take it.

Not that i care what the National Celebrity-Media thinks, but I noticed in every vid i watched, the celebrity-pundits talked about what Dallas did right and what Dallas did wrong, and what the future of DALLAS might be.
It was just so flagrant i had to post about it.
w
vwvParticipantHappy for the win. Didn’t like the fourth quarter stress. Would like to see some more efficiency from the redzone offense. Finally, the win did not make those horrid uniforms grow on me.
============
wv-ewe’s take on the uniforms:
———–
“Kind of anemic and the socks are stupid. Too bad. It was always about the uniforms.”

vwvParticipantwvParticipantwvParticipant===================
AlbaNY_
Goff was 20 for 31, 275 yards, 0 TD, 1 Int … which is a qb rating of 79.4.
BUT, had that roughing call been called: 20 for 30, 275 yards, 0 TD, 0 Int … which is 95.8.That one play cost Goff over 16 points in passer rating.
======================If only that one [fill in the blank] hadn’t happened.
So much of life comes down to that one thing that happened or didnt happen.
I think about this, often. I mean, what if Dolphins had evolved thumbs. What if that one thing had happened. They might have beaten the Pats. Ya know.
There’s a lot of ‘one-things’ that happen. And dont happen.
Alrighty then.
Carry on,
w
vwvParticipantTodd Gurley: 2 receptions for 1 yard. 14 rushes for 56 yards.
——–
(Russell Wilson 31 for 35, 322 yards, 4 TDs)wvParticipantI especially love the fact that the refs decided another game in favor of the Rams.
Well they did and they didn’t. Goff’s INT came from him being hit in the head as he threw. That wasn’t called. As soon as I find a pic I’ll post it. It was flagrant.
================
I saw it on one of the tweet-posts.
I think not having fans at the game is going to help the Rams. And it will hurt the Seahawks.
The Seahawks lose actual seahawk fans at their home games.
The Rams also lose seahawk fans at ram home games.Thus the pandemic helps the Rams. This could be our year.
w
vwvParticipantSaw the highlights. Great Win. I mean, its the Cowboys. A win over Amerika’s Team is awesome.
I especially love the fact that the refs decided another game in favor of the Rams. Thats a good sign.
Game ball goes to McVay. Looked like a good game-plan.
wvParticipantwvParticipant…that rep-guy in the vid, said that the Rep party is now Third in California. Not even 2nd. What Party is 2nd?
