That was a very big win. Two pretty evenly matched playoff-caliber teams.

Very physical game. This aint a finesse team.
Puka and Devante are physical-beasts.

Also an important Falcon loss. I believe the Rams have their first pick, yes?

Was covering the Colts until this morning. Before that, the Lions and Bears. Bounced around the league with lousy teams. The guy’s a journeyman.

Seems like he’s probably just a camp body until Jourdan comes back.

He’s ‘fired up’, ‘thrilled’, and ‘pumped.’

They replaced Rodrigue with a cheerleader.

“….Verse said Thursday. “Just watching everything I’ve done wrong and everything I’ve done right. And you realize how many bad plays you had with all the accolades and all that stuff. You realize how much [more] you can grow. And, don’t let your head get too high because now, I’m thinking of how much better I can get. People are like, ‘oh, you’re good, you’re good.’ No, I’ve got so much farther to go.”

Well, that is exactly what you want to hear from any young player. It ‘ought’ to be the norm, but, ya know, theeze-kids-today….

Looks like Jerry thought he had an oral agreement with Micah for a certain price. But the deal wasnt finalized and Micah’s agent was not involved. Then, some defender signed for more money. And i guess, Micah then wanted more, since the oral deal was not finalized and jerry was dragging things out, etc. So Jerry thought Micah was breaking the deal, and Micah thought jerry was being a weasel.

At any rate, Cowboys get two first rounders and the Packers go all-in.

And neither is going to win the NFC.

Joe Mixon on IR for first 4 games.

Thats a big loss. Mixon is still a beast. Underrated player, imho.

“teams overvalue the present and high first rounders” ?

Regarding the vid up there, showing players downing-punts inside the two yard line. This is a pet-peeve of mine. I ab-so-fucking-lutely HATE it when special teams botch this play. Its just not that hard a play to make. And it can be a huge play. And players botch it all the time.

And i dont understand why.

I think the Chargers had the better Uniforms in this one. Sad to say it, but i have to be honest.

I blame the offensive coordinator and Carroll Rosenbloom.

It’s only one game, but in my opinion, Bennett looked like a good NFL backup. It was his apparent confidence/decisiveness that does it for me. If he looks the same that for two more games then he makes his case to be a number two quarterback in this league. If they keep him on the team this year I think it gives them additional options for next year.

I dunno. I just dont see any top-notch physical tools. His release isnt lightning fast, he’s not particularly quick, his arm talent just looks average…. I dunno. I guess McVay knows what he’s doing. Hard for me to fathom that SB is the best they can find.

I am alarmed.

The combination of Stafford’s condition, and the OLine issues (and playing the Texans and Eagles defenses early) just spell D-O-O-M to me. I dont think optimism is reasonable at this point.

…i wonder about this all the time. This point here at about the 24 minute mark, or so. That America is so full of layers and layers of propaganda, PR, Advertising, Lies, that the most sensible default-state to be in is: insanity.
