wvParticipant“..Robert Woods has supplanted Kupp as the top option for Goff in the second half of the season..”
—————-Why is this? We’ve all noticed it. But why? Kupp was un-coverable early in the year. Then he kinda dropped into the background.

vwvParticipantI had to check on that Iceland thing. Maybe we should all move to Ice Land:
“…Reykavik, Iceland – The parliament of this small North Atlantic country made history today by declaring the Southern Baptist Convention a terrorist organization. The resolution passed unanimously with many lawmakers cheering in celebration.
Andrew Kanard represents the town of Laugar. “What is terrorism? Using fear to achieve political goals,” he explained. “The Southern Baptist Convention uses the fear of eternal torment to help it achieve anti-lgbtq legislation, a pro-gun culture, gutting pro-environment regulations, attempting to stop the legalization of marijuana, and inhumane treatment of undocumented workers in the United States. They are the very definition of terrorists.”
Polls say the citizens of Iceland overwhelmingly support the position. Out of 3,500 people questioned, 88% state American fundamentalist Christianity is the number one danger to the world…”

w
vWell, they have had a lot of plays blow up in their faces.
Rate the Flamer:
That was pretty good, actually, although it’s never easy to watch Nittany wipe the venom off his chin whenever he talks about the Rams.
==================
His feeble feckless flames do not bother me,
since i became a Charger fan.w
vwvParticipantI have been liking Hammond’s writings, lately.
======================
I think it all starts with left tackle. They absolutely need to figure out what they’re going to do there, and the options are pretty slim. If Whitworth doesn’t come back, I’m not sure you want Noteboom sliding over while coming off a major knee injury, and I’m not sure Havenstein or Evans project as left tackles. So that is BY FAR the biggest question. Beyond that there suddenly are a lot of options for the other four positions…
we’re really talking about two games when the run defense was subpar: Baltimore and Dallas. Other than that, it’s been one of the best run defenses in the league. That said, it was awful in both of those games…
=================
Whitworth has to come back for one more year. Someone needs to talk him in to that.
I hate bad OLines. I remember back in the 70’s and 80’s the Rams OLines were never injured and they were always good to great. How in the hell did they do that? And that was back when Defenders were allowed to use hammers and pick-axes.
w
vwvParticipantNot sure how Gurley makes it to the alternate level,
but ok.The Ravens have 12 pro-bowl players? That says something.
I dunno what.w
vwvParticipantHard for me to believe the Rams are fourth in the NFL in ‘explosive plays.’
w
vwvParticipantWell, sometimes the other team just plays lights out. Dallas is talented and they played awesome ball. They can beat anyone when they play like that.
As far as the Rams, we know what their fatal-flaw is. The defense may have some weird mystery games now and then, but we know where the problem really is.
Can they fix the OLine next year?
w
vwvParticipantDallas has been waitng for that game since the playoffs last year.
Made the Cowboys look like the Ravens.
Can they finish with a winning record at least?

vwvParticipantwvParticipantOn his way to class, a leftist English teacher is stopped by another English teacher, a bright guy who is not a leftist.
Not Leftist (with wild, excited eyes): Hey! Are you teaching The Things They Carried (an excellent Vietnam book) this term?
Leftist: Yeah. Finishing it up right now.
Not Leftist (eagerly): Did you hear about the whole thing that was running in the Washington Post?
Leftist (something about the book? About O’Brien? About Vietnam?): Uh…?
Not Leftist (bursting at the seams): Afghanistan! They’ve been lying about it for 18 years! They’ve been covering up that we’re not getting anywhere.
Leftist: Um….
Not Leftist (Touchdown!): Like Vietnam!
Leftist (who finally sees what we’re doing here, and is staggered by the fact that the fairly bright Not Leftist has just learned that Afghanistan is a quagmire): Um…yeah, I read some of that…(but stopped because there was not one goddamn thing in the article that was news)…amazing.
Not Leftist: Just going in circles pointlessly, like The Things They Carried.
Leftist: Yeah. Cool. Thanks. Good connection. Gotta go. (shuffles off to job that is feels close to pointless some days).
====================
Yup.

vwvParticipantDecember 10, 2019 at 7:29 pm in reply to: Patriots possibly in another spygate against Bengals #109202wvParticipantIncident during last year’s Rams vs Pats game mentioned in this vid:
wvParticipantwvParticipant…Is the main rationale for leaving the belief in how much horrible shit we’ve done to the rest of the world, and to ourselves?
Or is it to find a better place to be, in and of itself?
If it’s the latter…=====================
Good questions, Comrad. I can only say, for ‘me’ its just that I cant stand ordinary-amerikans anymore. Its like being surrounded by Frankensteins. They didnt ask to be turned into dangerous-idiots but thats what they are. Blah blah blah.
I just prefer the company of trees, birds, ferns, and tapirs at this point in my life.
Who knows though. Maybe humanity will surprise me, the way the 99 Rams did.
I get caught in the spam filter from time to time now, btw. I blame the deep-spam-state.
w
vwvParticipantThe Cowboys are talented but gutless.
The Rams will have this game in hand by the middle of the second quarter.
======================
It would be a nice season if the Rams could somehow knock the Cowboys and the Vikings out of the playoffs. That would be a fine year.
Do you think there’s such a thing as a ‘superbowl hangover’? Did it hit the Patriots too?
w
vwvParticipantI think many people have suspected these things for years and it is nice to have it documented with real quotes from insiders. But at the end of the day, the country doesn’t care.
===================
Yeah, I had typed a sentence in my post about the public not caring, but I deleted it. I didnt want to beat a dead, decayed, maggoty, maimed, disfigured, very sad horse.
This nation jumped the shark. I dont know when exactly, but its done jumped the shark.
And I’ll say that even if Bernie wins the election. The deep-state is what it is.
w
vYeah, I was thinking something kinda ironic yesterday…Bernie, and the Green New Deal. Like…it’s GND or die, and it may be too late anyway, even if we get the GND.
But I was thinking…at best, Bernie can save the planet. But he CAN’T save America. The forces of Greed have learned propaganda techniques that work, and there is no antidote. America is over.
I’m leaving, btw. I can’t take it anymore, and I’m out. I’ve got about 3 more years of work before I reach my maximum “multiplier” for my retirement pension, and I’m leaving shortly after I hit the nexus between my age and that multiplier. After I hit that mark, there is less incentive to keep working. I’m going to go set up my life in a different country, probably moving from one country to the next, until I become feeble, or I die, whichever comes first. But I am basically done here. I am seeking a divorce from the United States of America.
===================
Interesting thoughts, Zooey, my friend.
Almost Every single day I sit here and watch utubes of how to build a tiny-house out of cob or barn-wood or tires, etc, and move more-or-less off the grid. Do Permaculture, and that sort of thing. I often feel trapped in my life.
I think I’m too old to make such a big change and to learn a new way of life. I probably wont do it. But i ‘want’ to, and i feel trapped…ah well.
I want a divorce from corporate-civilization.
w
vwvParticipantI think the Rams are back.
May be too late for this season, but we’ll see.
If they get in – who wants to face them?
That was my thought, too.
But they are going to have to win all three games, and that includes beating the 9ers in SF.
=====================
You guyz are crazy. No way this Oline has the talent to be good enough this year.
I hate hopeful behavior in a man. I wont tolerate Hope.
w
v
wvParticipantIts a playoff game for both teams. Plus a revenge-game for Dallas. One would think the Cowboys would be sky-high for this one. Jason Garret will play the “everyone has given up on us” card in the locker-room.
I dunno. I find it hard to believe the Rams OLine has fixed itself. I am a doubter.

w
vwvParticipantThe biggest win of the year. The win over the Saints wasnt as impressive given that Breeze was knocked out and there was another bad call.
I liked this tweet:
“Cameron DaSilva@camdasilva
The Rams gave up 110 points to the Bucs and Ravens. In the other 11 games, they allowed 152 – or 13.8 per game…”Great win, from a flawed team. Wouldnt surprise me if Dallas hammered them.
w
vwvParticipantI watched hi-lights of the SF/Saint game. Sometimes its sad, that both teams cant lose a game.
Bengals lost to Browns I see. They are 1 and 12 now. I think the NFL has finally caught up with the Bengals offense and defense and special teams.
Giants have won two games. I guess one of those two teams will get the top pick.
I havent followed college ball this year, is there a Great player out
there that could turn around a bad team?w

vwvParticipantThe people who turn to Infowars and Breitbart for their news distrust the MSM for different reasons than you…
.=======================
Oh yeah. True.
I wish they didnt trust Fox News. I wish the Dems didnt trust the Dem-MSM.
I wish Imperialism, Climate Change, Health Care and Inequality mattered to Dems and Reps.I wish the Rams had a good Offensive Line. I wish Gurley had two good knees.
w
vwvParticipant<
It’s a shame, however, that people aren’t connecting the dots. If they did, they’d never go from distrust of the (capitalist) system to trusting right-wing wackos..=====================
Absolutely. Indeed.
But thats the evil-beauty of the system. Citizens cant ‘connect the dots’ because they have been inundated, drenched, drowned in propaganda and lies from the day they were born until the day they die.
Is there a God of Lies anywhere in mythology?
Cuz that there God would be the God of the Corporotocracy.Anyway, Rotten-Alex is a symptom of a very rotten system. So’s Trump. So’s the MSM. So’s the Reps. So’s the Dems. I’ll shut up now 🙂
w
vwvParticipantYeah, he’s a menace, etc. But I’m more interested in why so many Americans have lost faith in the corporate-MSM and turned to wackos like Alex. Similar to Trump.
Many many people just dont trust the system anymore. (I’m one of them)
A lot of those un-trusting-people have turned to wackos.I guess this is ‘part’ of it for some people:
“…But it wasn’t the politics that initially drew me in. Jones had a way of imbuing the world with mystery, adding a layer of cinematic verisimilitude that caught my attention. Suddenly, I was no longer a bored kid attending an overpriced art school. I was Fox Mulder combing through the X-Files, Rod Serling opening a door to the Twilight Zone,..”Jones gives them ‘meaning’ somehow. Turns dull lives into a grand sci-fi-mystery-adventure. Or somethin. I dunno.
Another way to look at it, iz, capitalism made a shitload of citizens really ignorant and the chickens are coming home to roost.

December 5, 2019 at 3:53 pm in reply to: The Divide: Global Inequality from the Conquest to Free Markets #108983wvParticipant“…All the bragging about the supposed reduction of poverty is based primarily on manipulation of statistics by western institutions at oh so convenient times. They’re jiggered to show improvements when, in actuality, poverty levels have increased, and the floor is set far too low to begin with…”
—————————-Yeah. Just pause and think about how hard it really is to get something approaching ‘unbiased’ information in a Corporotacracy. In ANY field.
There’s a reason Westerners keep repeating the same myths and keep voting for the same assholes every election.

“A hierarchal society is only possible on the basis of poverty and ignorance…” -George OrwellDecember 5, 2019 at 3:42 pm in reply to: McVay understands that Gurley needs to get the ball #108982wvParticipantSigh. I will never quite come to terms with this BS about Gurley. He’s got a knee problem. Just say it. What is the point of all this lying.
w
vwvParticipantBrockers has never quite lived up to what I’d hoped he would be. He was a first round pick and I’d hoped for more of a wrecking-ball in the pass rush.
But he’s been solid and steady and coaches seem to value him.
I’ve noticed him more this year than any other year. He’s seems more athletic this year. Healthy and fast.
Course he’s invisible to the media playing with Aaron Donald. He’s a bit like Roger Brown or Diron Talbert, i guess. Good player playin next to a great player.
I didnt realize he was so vocal. Seems like a good team-mate.

“…Dick Butkus called them “the most dominant line in football history.”[1] They gained fame as the Rams went from a perennial under .500 team to an NFL powerhouse under coach George Allen. Roger Brown replaced Grier in 1967, and Diron Talbert replaced Brown in 1970. Also in 1970 Coy Bacon replaced Lamar Lundy.The line was ultimately broken up when George Allen became coach of the Washington Redskins in 1971…” wiki; fearsome foursome
wvParticipantI had forgotten at one time, the seahawks had won ten in a row over the Rams, and 13 out of 14.
