wvParticipantWade is a bust. But the 49ers are double-stupid, and the Rams are not Fisher-stupid anymore.
w
vSorry, but, speaking as one self-appointed Let’s Do History Right type to a self-appointed Fisher Hater type…a Fisher/Wms defense would never have been run on that way. In fact even in 2016, when the morale collapsed, they still ended up 16th against the run, and that was low ebb for them.
I could get more into it and ask how McVay would do with a series of #2 caliber qbs but…enough.
So this isn’t a board war. It’s a board skirmish without casualties.

============
Nah, I saw GW’s defenses gashed plenty of times by running-games. They just weren’t consistent. They’d be great for a couple of games, and then boom, they’d get run-over. I think the 16 ranking is fairly accurate, but that aint a good ranking as far as I’m concerned.
As far as how McV would do with Keenum, etc — I dont think its the right question. Fisher built his team. McV is building his. So far I like the way McV is doing it better.

wvParticipant“…And just like with Atlanta and Washington last year, so many of the Rams’ aerial concepts are synced with their ground game. You can really help your quarterback by making your plays all look the same off the snap….
None of this was part of the Goff conversation a year ago. Los Angeles’s running game was constricted and mostly independent from its passing game. Every play was its own entity. Goff was seeing all trees, no forest…”
I wonder what Benoit means, by “every play was its own entity” last year?

wvParticipantI gotta feeling itz gonna be a Turnover-fest. A blunder-bowl.
It may set back Thursday Night Football at least…..well….wait. No, Thursday Night Football sucks already. I suppose this game will be fine for Thursday Night Football.

wvParticipantEvery single solitary time, i hear a complaint about Russian influence of elections in Amerika, i think to myself….what about Israel? Why no complaints about Israel?

“…
……..Although RTs viewership in the United States is minuscule compared to major domestic broadcast and cable news outlets, over the years RT has made many enemies in Washington. The network’s slogan, “Question More,” and financial resources allowed it to televise stories that US networks, under the perpetual threat of loss of “access” to newsmakers, boycotts and organized pressure campaigns, cannot.Nowhere was this more evident than RT’s relentless coverage of Israel and its US lobby.
RT covered Benjamin Netanyahu’s connection to the Arnon Milchan nuclear trigger smuggling ring, the diversion of weapons grade uranium from a toxic plant in Pennsylvania to Israel, and details of a massive Israeli-lobby orchestrated propaganda campaign in the United States.
A FARA order could mean RT’s departure from the American scene. This could reduce the number of news packages on topics prohibited in America – located in the triple-digit channel nether-region of the cable lineup, but archived and well-viewed online with 2.2 million YouTube subscribers – to zero….see link….”

wvParticipantSF is stupid. No way we lose.
==============
Well if SF is stupid,
what are the Rams?“The Rams were the only team to lose to the 49ers in 2016, as both wins for the 49ers were against the Rams.”

wvParticipantAn Laram post.
——————–
Coaches script plays for ALL qb’s but as we both know things don’t always go as scripted.The separation comes with the qb’s that are able to still function at a high level off script.
Pretty clear.
I credit Everette for his big play having the wherewithal to break off his route and give his qb a target. All Goff had to do was throw it out there.
Heady play by a rookie te.
On the last play EVERYBODY in the stadium and on the Skins sidelines knew where Jared was going with the ball. They were yelling it out on the sidelines.
He has NO idea who his money players are. On 99% of his throws he’s going to a guy before the ball is snapped.
I was told that Spielman did a good job of spelling it out on TV.
Receivers were running free the ENTIRE game.
There was a LOT of frustration and bad body language out there.
Its a major issue.
========================
wvParticipantI didnt see the game, just some hi-lites. I see the Wash’s got 230 yards on the ground.
I didnt think Aaron Donald would be in top-form, and i thot Wash would take advantage of him.
Still too early to say much about ‘any’ team in the NFL. Maybe Wash will win twelve games, who knows.
Best thing by far about Sunday — they came back. Show’d somethin.

wvParticipant“The key here, though, is that Mueller clearly already has enough information on these accounts — and their link to a potential crime to justify forcing [Facebook] to give up the info,” she said. “That means that he has uncovered a great deal of evidence through other avenues of Russian election interference.”
Well there was a lot there that was just ridiculous. Like the above. Getting a search warrant according to legal ‘theory’ and law school text books requires a small amount of evidence. In the real world of real people search warrants are obtained with various amounts of evidence. From very very little to a somewhat more than very little. Thats why cops go ‘judge shopping’ for easy access to warrants.
Plus, Russian “interference” — what is “interference” ? Its a vague word and rather meaningless to ‘me’.
Also, i wouldnt trust any writer that kept using the term russian interference “denier.” The writer loses all credibility with me with that kind of bias.
Typical MSM article about Russia. Sounds like it was written by Hillary to ‘me’.

wvParticipantI dont trust the lying videos. Fake holes. Its all fake holes.

wvParticipantI think the key is to protest Washington’s nickname.
w
v
wvParticipantWashington by ten or so.
I think Goff will be up and down a lot this season. Probly throw a couple of bad INTs in this game. That’ll be the difference.
I’ll be curious to see if the Rams D can stop the run, btw.
w

wvParticipantWonder why X disagrees with us on the anti-nazi thing?
Maybe he’ll explain it.

wvParticipant===============
“….The Trump-backing broadcaster claimed Monday on his “InfoWars” radio program that “high-level sources” had confirmed a plot to control the president through sedative drugs — although Jones never explained who was doing that, reported Media Matters.
“They drug presidents because the power structure wants a puppet,” Jones claimed. “The president needs his blood tested by an outside physician he trusts….”Well Alex always gets it about half-right. Yes, the “power structure” wants a puppet, but since we know the Power structure is made of secret Lizard people from Sirius, they would not NEED to ‘drug’ Trump. The Lizard people use their MIND POWERS to control Presidents.
I cant believe i have to explain this.
w
v
wvParticipantWell thats how it starts. And pretty soon people are turning on and off nuclear weapons and toasters.
w
v
wvParticipant…thats how i feel about Bernardine Dorne,
formerly of the Weather Underground. 🙂
wvParticipantWell numbers mean nuthin this early, but I’d say the Chiefs deserve to be
at the top spot right now.I’d put the Patriots second.
And the Rams third, of course.

wvParticipantIn the Ram Pantheon
there’s Massey, and there’s Hekker.Or is it Hekker and then Massey.
I suppose that debate will never be resolved.

wvParticipantI just re-watched the game (at work). Gurley didn’t really have a bad game….he just didn’t get a lot of running yards. That might be a Mcvay offense thing. Maybe he’s Roger Craig now.
==============
He had, what? bout 50 in the air and 40 on the ground? Kindof a Faulk type day, as far as actual yardage.
I dont trust Gurley, but i trust McV at this point. McV will figure out what Gurley can do, and he’ll focus on that. He may end up being a role player, who knows.
w
v
wvParticipantRamigos? I just can’t get behind that one.
Is Todd Gurley the new Zack Stacy? Please discuss.
=================
He might be, but one game is just too early to say much of anything, imho. I usually dont even ‘start’ looking at stats or trends until after four games. Thats just me, though.
I’m thrilled about the Colt game, but my god was that a bad Colt team on the road. I really dont know if they will win a game this year.
About all that game proved to me, is that if you give Goff a lot of time in the pocket he can beat you. Which is nice and all, but the good teams bring pressure.
What then?
We’ll see.
w
v
wvParticipantI was wondering what he was pointing at. I just thought he wanted the officials to throw a flag on the sun.
====================
The sun was not moving. I’m tellin ya, it stood as still as Tom Mack.

wvParticipant…As in, capitalism makes us crazy
AND it produces the temporary fixes for that craziness — Netflix, HBO, shopping on Amazon, staring at our cell phones, game consoles, political food fights, etc. etc. All these things serve the interests of billionaires several times over. They make them rich, they keep us distracted, and they keep us relatively docile and confused. Oh so confused.So when it’s time to vote, we’re too tired, confused and docile to check out third and fourth and fifth parties, and they don’t get any air time anyway. So people just pull the lever, or stay home altogether. And that suits the powers that be just fine. Vote Dem, GOP or stay home. It doesn’t matter to them, except around the edges. Heads they win, tails we lose. Doesn’t matter. . . .
======================
Yes, i think thats quite true.
It certainly made ‘me’ crazy.
Perhaps other systems make people crazy in ‘other’ ways. Maybe feudalism made people ‘feudalism-crazy’ etc, and so forth.
Or maybe humans are just always crazy and the whole idea of ‘sanity’ is….crazy.
I dunno.
Rams won though. Thats certainly crazy.

wvParticipantWell, I tend to agree with X that, in general, Probably, most University profs are “liberal” (Ie, Clinton-ish, Obama-ish, Democrat-ish)
There’s a right wing mantra on that but it exists because it’s vague. Different fields tend to attract different types. Business, engineering, and economics for example are not dominated by “liberals.” Just the opposite. The hard sciences are iffier. The humanities tends to attract liberals but then that’s not entirely true of history. And so on. On top of it, college and university administrations are more than ever attracting career administration types and they tend to be conservative. At the same time administration is expanding, tenured faculty are shrinking, so what you end up with is administrators dominating a very large population of part-timers, and part-timers do not have the standing or resources to be a voice in the overall university or college. It’s dominated cheap labor. They have no voice in policy.
My own experience is that with requirements being what they are in higher education, students are exposed to a wide range of types.
I’ve read actual real study after study that confirms all of the above.
In terms of right-wing site style writing about universities and colleges, what I have encountered from that world I find to be uselessly paranoid and sensationalist.
=====================
Well, I’d have to see these studies. And I’d have to see how they are ‘defining’ right and left, etc. Course I’d also have to talk to each rightwinger that thinks the universities are too ‘liberal’ — I mean some rightwingers think anyone who is pro-choice is ‘too liberal’. Etc, etc, and so forth.
Its complicated. In general though, i think its true most Univ-profs lean left, if by left we mean lean Democrat. Though i do agree there are differences based on whether its social science or hard science etc etc etc.
My main point though is that MY own complaint (as opposed to the rightwingers complaints) is that the Universities lean REP/DEM. Just like every other institution in Amerika. That there would be my complaint. 🙂
SOMETHING is making amerikans into political-idiots, zn. Something. So, is it the water? What would your answer be to the question: What is making Americans vote for the two-parties that screw them over everyday? If its not the Universities, public schools, government, and the Media — what is it?

wvParticipantWorth reading the whole thing — and the article that led to it.
=============
OK, BT. I’ll read it. I got a big jury trial Wednesday so I cant delve into long writings for a few days. But I’ll get around to it.I read the cover article of The ATLANTIC the other day. Made me so mad i almost wrote a letter. It was a long article about How and Why Americans Have gone crazy and believe in Conspiracy Shit.
The writer listed all these reasons and they all lead directly (essentially) to blaming the people themselves. He lamented the fact that the people no longer believe in the noble American institutions they used to believe in — and he blamed the people for that.
I wanted to tell him, “Yes, people have turned to all kinds of batshit crazy ideas. And yes, they no longer believe a damn thing those fine institutions tell them — know why? Cause those damn institutions LIE. And the people know it. They know they are being lied to. But rather than having the tools to think-critically they turn to batshit-crazy stuff. Not their fault. For all kinds of reasons.
blah blah blah, wv continues to be a system-blamer 🙂

wvParticipantWell i hate to state the obvious, but you guys need to keep in mind, once the Colts get Unitas back, they are still gonna be favorites to win the Coastal Division.
Ok, so next is the Washington team at LA and the 49ers Away.
The Rams could be 3-0 and still suck. Right?
w
v
wvParticipantWell i personally feel strongly that I’m tired of all the Wentz vs Hekker comparisons. Seems to me we oughta be able to watch a game without linking the two.
I mean it reminds me of the Warner vs Massey
wars of yester-year.w
v
wvParticipant3. Universities are basically leftist indoctrination machines, and not to be trusted.
=====================
Well, I tend to agree with X that, in general, Probably, most University profs are “liberal” (Ie, Clinton-ish, Obama-ish, Democrat-ish)
Though, i dont have any science to back that up, and I’m open to proof pointing to something else.
At any rate, we know damn well that the liberal-professors, and the rightwing-talk-radio-pundits, and the liberal-MSM-reporters, and the liberal-librarians, and the rightwing-evangelicals, and the rightwing-nazis, and the alt-right-conservatives, and the various kinds of plumbers, IT-experts, carpenters, football players, hockey goalies, tree-surgeons, bakers, pharmacists, lawyers, pilots, rug-pee-ers, Dude-ranch-owners, trans-gender-green-berets, Police Officers, NASA custodians, Veterans, Veternarians, Buddhist Lesbian Dock Workers, and cat shampoo-ers….are almost all
voting for the Idiot-Duplicat-Party or the Idiot-Replicant-Party.The actual parties that would actually help this nation get 2 percent of the vote.
98 percent of the voters waste their votes on the two corporate-idiot-parties.
So…something is causing that. Something is causing 98 percent of the voters to vote for one of the two parties that will lie, cheat, steal and screw us all over.
Why the hell WOULDNT the Universities have a LOT to do with that? As well as the Idiot-rightwing media and the Idiot-liberal-media ?
Ok, i will shut up now. I shall rant no more.
