    Josh Allen already this season:

    ▫️First Bills QB with 400+ passing yards, 4 TD and 0 INT in a game

    You telling me Jim Kelly never did that?

    Nine quarterbacks are completing over 70-percent of their passes this season, led by Russell Wilson with an amazing 82.5 completion percentage. Defenses are getting shredded.

    Prescott against Rams: 64%
    Wentz against Rams: 60%

    Rams’ Jordan Fuller: Continues to impress
    Rotowire 7 MINS AGO
    Fuller played all 71 defensive snaps and recorded nine tackles (five solo) during Sunday’s 37-19 win over Dallas.

    The rookie continues to prove he’s earned his starting role and is now up to a respectable 17 tackles (10 solo) through two games. As long as Fuller has an every-down role, he should be on your radar in IDP leagues.

    Rams’ Micah Kiser: Ties Rams record with 16 tackles
    Rotowire 13 MINS AGO
    Kiser tied the Rams single-game record of 16 tackles (11 solo) during Sunday’s 37-19 win over Philadelphia.

    Make it 23 tackles (17 solo) through two games for Kiser, as the every-down linebacker is quickly proving to be a valuable fantasy asset. Check your waiver wires in IDP settings because Kiser projects to be a weekly starting option in the majority of formats until proven otherwise.

    Rams’ Gerald Everett: Mainly blocked against Philly
    Rotowire 23 MINS AGO
    Everett played 30 offensive snaps but didn’t receive a target and only ran eight routes during Sunday’s 37-19 win over the Eagles.

    After missing practice time this week and being questionable ahead of Sunday’s contest with a back injury, it wasn’t surprising to see Everett have a quiet showing against the Eagles. However, after fellow tight end Tyler Higbee erupted for three touchdowns and caught all five of his targets Sunday, Everett’s fantasy stock is probably trending even further in the wrong direction.

    Yes. It is what you think it is.

    Goff 29 points to Wentz’s 11 in fantasy points, if that’s your thing.

    I love this. Good start by the Rams. Looking solid everywhere except the kicking game. 2-0 against the NFC which is good for tiebreakers. Kiser was everywhere.

    Would have liked to see Wentz take a seat multiple times in the pocket, and I’d prefer a bit stouter opposition to the run, but still an overall good performance. 3 TOs is helpful.

    Bosa probably has torn ACL for 9ers, and Garapolo high ankle sprain per Shanahan.

    Me, I’m hoping the Good Lord smiles on us and Trump eats one too many Big Macs and has the big one.

    I have come around to thinking that Trump eating the big one before November would be the best thing for the country. This election looks like it is going to be ugly. November and December are going to be a nightmare, I’m afraid.

    Not completely. Democrats can go to McConnel and say this: ” If you insist on getting an appointment through before the election here is what will happen IF the Dems take the white house and the senate. Because the Constitution does not address the number of SC Justices we will make sure we have 13 justices on the SC. ” This is more than possible since the number has changed over the years. It is the one card that the Dems can play.

    They could. But that would require the Dems to play hardball, and I can’t think of an example of them doing that since LBJ.

    I 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.

    Yeah, I think that pretty much nails it.

    I would just add the the “educational system” is the media. That is the uber educational system. Kids aren’t learning their values from their teachers.

    All I know is Robert Woods is one of the most underrated players. I love that guy. And I am glad he will be with the Rams for 4 more years. Yay.

    Robert Woods is still my favorite player right now. Has been ever since he joined the Rams. I loved him at USC.

    He is the Old Faithful of WRs. There are other WRs that have more spectacular eruptions, but Old Faithful is the most dependable, and the most frequent.

    The single best thing about Russell Wilson is the average weight of the sod he eats every time he plays the Rams.

    49ers just put Richard Sherman on IR, too, for four weeks. They seriously don’t have any WRs right now, either. And if Kittle’s out… they could be in early trouble. They have an easy schedule in the beginning, though, so maybe they scrape through until they get some players back.

    also. yeah. edward-helaire woulda been great. but i’m happy with ramsey. i’m also still waiting to see how akers does. it’s a long season.

    Yeah,during the game, I just kept asking my son, “WTF is Fuller?”

    I dunno. He was the guy who kept making tackles, seemed like.

    Anyway. A win is a win.I would have liked more…but I always want more…and that was a win.

    I have no complaints. I mean… I have nobody to criticize…the Cowboys are a good team, and I always want to dominate…but they won while looking like a good team. I will take it.

    It is pretty bad. Orange skies in the morning and evening. But it was even worse in Chico yesterday.

    It looked like I was in San Francisco on one of those foggy days.

    No. I am a 5-hour drive from Ashland. I spend several summers there because I was working on a masters in technical theatre. I’m in Auburn, in the Gold Country.

    Plus the entire “panic” thing is itself dubious. There is such a thing as disaster studies. Historians and social science people study events like the great SF earthquake in the past, or tsunami events in the present and so on. What people in disaster studies say is that there is more harm done by authorities doing things to “prevent or control panic” than there is harm done by actual or real panic. In fact disaster studies people say that the entire “people panic” routine is all fiction. Under the conditions of actual disaster, you are far more likely to get community solidarity than “panic.”

    “Panic” is a thing in movies.

    So what kind of “panic” did Trump-brain anticipate? Rioting in the streets? Cities burned down? Mobs congesting the freeways?

    Naw the “panic” would be people hunkering down and…gulp…spending less money on a daily basis because they go out less.

    Which of course would not be panic, it would be a rational response.

    But less lucrative.

    Right. The only “panic” he could have been worried about was panic on Wall Street. Not panic on Main Street. He could not possibly care less about that.

    And…what’s ironic is that Bush DID have advance notice. Remember the memo about planes? That’s a bit different, of course, because you wouldn’t “say” anything about that kind of event, anyway, but…he ignored it.
