I look forward to next week’s installment.
ZooeyModeratorAsk them what socialist policies or systems Biden pushes for.
I mean… a big chunk of socialist thought believes in government ownership of key industries. If I had the power, I would immediately begin exploring ways to bring certain industries under public control in order to make them serve the interests of the public at large, rather than operate largely uninhibited on the private profit motive. They would be non-profit, or as close to it as practical. That would include the entire energy sector – fossil fuels and renewables.
It would include banking and insurance.
Telecommunications, including universal broadband access to everybody.
And transportation.
I might have left something out – it’s 2am, and I’m awake with insomnia – but I think that’s most of it. Oh…military contractors. The profit motive has to be removed from war production.
I’m not sure how that would all work exactly, but that would be the direction I would move things. And there are lots of socialists who would deride me for the brevity of that list.
I bet none of those things have even occurred to most of your friends, or the people on TV. None of that is on the table in any way…with maybe the one exception of government health insurance…and Biden opposes that.
So…again…name a socialist policy or system that Biden supports.
ZooeyModeratorI don’t like the Rams’ chances much. 40% maybe. I reckon.
If they win, it will be because of the defense. The defense should be challenged to accept that winning this game is up to them. The offense is limping, and they need to win the game themselves. Give the offense one more week to recover and gel. But this week… the defense has to win it by themselves, or it’s over.
ZooeyModeratorWatch this before it gets taken down.
T r e a s o n: The Trump crime family watched & supervised the violence on the Capitol from their own "Situation Room." These chinless wonders of grifters are so pleased, Jr filmed it in real time, encouraging the violence, all overseen by daddy crime lord emperor conman DJTrump pic.twitter.com/g1A9TeGsgx

ZooeyModeratorAt least 13 people were arrested today in connection to a violent mob that stormed the Capitol as part of an attempted coup.
138 @sunrisemvmt climate activists were arrested during a peaceful sit in of Nancy Pelosiās office back in Dec 2018.

ZooeyModeratorToday has shown police donāt need de-escalation training, they choose who to escalate on, thatās not a training issue. Police donāt need unconscious bias training, they are conscious of their bias.

ZooeyModeratorYou canāt describe whatās happening in the Capitol as a āsmall group of extremistsā when theyāre being supported by the president, 16% of the Senate, 1/4 of the House, the local police forces & officials at the Pentagon.

ZooeyModeratorI would go practice interviewing with the Jets, but that’s all. No way would I take that job.
Staley is young, and he will get chances again next year. I wouldn’t sign with a dysfunctional franchise.
San Diego I would maybe kick the tires on.
ZooeyModeratorRams vs Cards was on CBS
SF vs SEA was on FOX
Good grief.
I didn’t even check CBS. I’m so used to the NFC being on FOX that I forgot the networks are mixed this year. Damn.
It really only matters as far as the Chat room goes, but I prefer to be in Chat and in real time.
ZooeyModeratorChris Mortensen@mortreport
This is the most negative barrage of comments I have received about a gameās lack of integrity and thatās not even counting Giants-related bias.
Consensus from those in NFL and who have been associated with it: Disgrace.
Thatās not the fault of the Washington Football Team.I don’t see why the Eagles owe anything to the Giants.
And, btw, the Giants were 6-10 with 4 of those wins coming against opponents in the worst division in football. Another win was against 4-11-1 Cincinnati. They beat ONE team with a winning record. They can just shut right the hell up, as far as I’m concerned.
AZ or SF would have won that division by 4 games.
ZooeyModeratorI have the 9ers/S’hawks game, not the Rams game.
ZooeyModeratorAttaboy, joemad. You did well this week. Wiped out the TV map from the Pacific Coast well past the Missississippi River.
December 30, 2020 at 4:56 pm in reply to: Wolford … Rams pre-season vids from 2019 & a vid-heavy draft report #126178ZooeyModeratorIt would be quite the story if Wolford was able to lead the Rams to the playoffs in his first career start. It speaks volumes that McVay has confidence in this former undrafted free agent to step up and play well when the team desperately needs a win.
Yes, to say the least.
If the Rams somehow survive the wheels coming off their offense down the stretch, and get into the playoffs with Whitworth, Goff, and Kupp returning, the storyline will get very interesting in a hurry.
ZooeyModerator
?
ZooeyModeratorJohn Wolford is going to turn Jared Goff into Wally Pipp.
You saw it here first. I will get all the glory for having predicted it.
And if it doesn’t come to pass, nobody will remember this post anyway.
Unless John Cleese retweets it, in which case I’m sunk.
ZooeyModeratorI am so stoked about 2020
ZooeyModeratorGood Lord.
John Wolford hype.
Did not see that coming.
ZooeyModeratorIts all about the OLine, in a situation like this.
The defense should be ok, but the cards are gonna
take away the run. Their gonna force the kid
to make pocket-decisions and execute.As I understand it, this kid can run.
If was me, Iād let him run like crazy.
Designed runs, run-pass options, that kinda thing.
Wouldnt work over the course of a season,
but in one gameā¦w
vI like that strategy. I will vote for you this off-season for OC next year.
ZooeyModeratorI really dropped the ball on Tom Tomorrow. 4 weeks worth. It’s as bad as a Goff fumble.
ZooeyModeratorI can’t see the Cardinals putting up much in the way of points.
The Rams can win with Wolford giving the ball to Brown and Higbee.
ZooeyModeratorDefense played great.
they played good. i wouldnāt say great. but they played good.
offense was terrible. absolutely terrible. left at least 10 points on the board. at the very least.
I dunno Invader. It seemed like around 1/3rd of the game we gave them the ball between the 40 and 50 yet still held them to 20 points. I think the defense played great.
Yep. They had good starting position frequently.
And they didn’t turn over the ball. The Rams, crucially, did turn it over on a drive that would have ended in points.
And they stuffed the Rams twice from inside the one.
Ball game.
ZooeyModeratorHow many times was Wilson pressured yesterday?
Comparatively:
Wilson 32 drop backs, sacked 5 times, hit 8 times = 2TDs and QBR of 93.9.
Goff 43 drop backs, sacked 3 times, hit 9 times = no TDs and a QBR of 61.6.Wilson is better than Goff.
I don’t think anybody ever disputed that. But we’ve all seen Wilson’s performance significantly compromised by the Rams’ defenses over the years. He held up yesterday, but if the Rams had score 31 points and won the game, his 20 points on the board wouldn’t have his fans bragging about him right now.
ZooeyModeratorAlso…one more thought. After the Patriots game, I would have said the Rams had pretty good odds on winning the NFC, and not bad odds on winning the Super Bowl. They would have been respectable underdogs, and with the #1 defense in the NFL, they were making me pretty hopeful. McVay appeared to have taken a step in game-planning the offense strategically against Belichick, and we were talking about the division title as theirs to lose.
And they lost it. They looked bad in both games. The offense has looked as lethargic as the Jeff Fisher era. They’ve become complete longshots now. There is no way this team is getting past the Divisional round of the playoffs, and might not get to the playoffs at all.
The wheels have come off, and the best we can hope for at this point is a dignified playoff performance in the Wild Card game.
ZooeyModeratorBTW, I haven’t seen the Reynolds play at the end of the game mentioned.
They only showed the replay from behind the play once on TV, but it looked to me like the Seahawk touched Reynolds on the helmet strong enough for Reynolds head to bob on contact as he was headed to the ground. I don’t think Reynolds made a bonehead move. I think the ref missed that Reynolds was down. He had control of the ball as he was going down, so by rule, he was down.
ZooeyModeratorI agree with that. He was pressing. And it didn’t cost the game. The failure to score from inside the 1-yard line on two tries is a more significant failure.
It was still a Terrible throw.
ZooeyModeratorA reminder that this is partly a deliberate result of pharmaceutical companies making sure that developing countries are not allowed to violate corporationsā intellectual property rights. Mass murder to preserve profits, aka business as usual. https://t.co/QjmIsMx4WO
