ZooeyModeratorLatest bulletin dictated to Trump's doctor:
The President is well, probably weller that any President in history has ever been, and his gruelling FoxTV watching schedule will not be impacted at all by what is, after all, a Democratic hoax

ZooeyModeratorWhy in every meme does she look like she just gave her hubby his birthday BJ and wants him to be happy, but absolutely, positively won’t swallow…
So she’s just stuck there…with her mouth full and this weird awkward smile…thing…on her face.
I dunno. It’s weird.
I just want you to know that I would pay above market value to spend a day with you and your family at a BBQ afternoon anywhere.
I really, really wish you would post more here.
ZooeyModeratorIf Donald Trump was running against a Donald Trump right now he'd be mocking the hell out of him for being so "weak" and testing positive for COVID-19. He'd wheeze and mug and stagger around the stage, acting out the feverish "loser" and the groundlings would eat it up.

ZooeyModeratorWhich is the strongest evidence that he isn’t faking it.
Talked to a Republican friend, he said regardless if Trump is faking or not he just ended his chances of winning.
He said the fact the White House is now infected has made everything the Democrats and science have said 100% true and makes him look like he did down play the virus— Billy (@Billysthought) October 2, 2020
ZooeyModeratorI was wondering when he was going to get it. I’m glad the Lord smite-ed him.
I hope Trump gave it to his new Supreme Court choice.
Yes, I do.
Oh, and Fox WILL blame the democrats for this. I guarantee it. At some point. They will.
Multiple reports say she already had Covid in the Spring.
However, it does appear that the entire Senate judiciary committee has been exposed, and that includes a few fossils like Grassley and Feinstein, so there is some hope there.

ZooeyModeratorThe best I can tell what your saying is if a Trumpee says to me “hey Biden is a socialist” I should NOT respond “no he’s not”. What I should instead say is “hey there is a lot to be said for socialism-let me explain why socialism is so much better than what we have now”. And that will convince the Trumpee that Biden is not a socialist !
If a Trumpee says to you, “Hey, Biden is a socialist,” you should respond, “Have a nice day. Let’s hope for peace after the election, right?”
Because nothing you are going to say is going to make a damn bit of difference anyway.

ZooeyModeratorDid anybody see anything on that fumble call on Kroft? The only time I saw it referenced was in a CBS article that stated it as uncontroversial fact. Looked to me like that was not a TO.
ZooeyModeratorI pretty much gave up complaining about flags in the 70s. The Tom Mack penalty sent me over the edge, and there were one or two others, and eventually, after losing to the Vikings and Cowboys enough times in the Championship, I just got over it. I agree with wv on this. The Rams lost because they let the refs decide the game. You can’t do that. If it comes down to one call, you didn’t Win. Stop them. Where was the defense the entire first half? Force a punt on any one of those drives, and the flag doesn’t matter. They had them 3rd and 22. Can you not stop them from gaining 22 yards in two plays? You have to be able to do that.
I don’t listen to whiners from other teams, and I don’t listen to whiners who like my favorite team, either. Not any more. Crying foul about a blown call is no solace. I said, “The Rams woulda won if…” a handful of times when I was a teenager, and none of that ever made me feel like my emotions did anything positive for me in that situation.
ZooeyModeratorHacking up the 3rd and 22 was a killer. That is what sticks with me now more than the pass interference penalty. Yeah, that PI should not have been called. The final time I saw it, it looked like it could have been call offensive PI, actually, but there should not have been a flag on that either way. But that 3rd and 22 was…you have to make that stop.
I don’t like the lack of pass rush this year so far, although they did suddenly start getting it in the 4th quarter. And giving up 4.8 yds/carry has to change. Then there were multiple blown coverages. The defense just did not play well until the 4th quarter, and didn’t look good against Philly, either.
The offense looks pretty good, though. Goff still isn’t good under pressure, but their rushing attack is looking solid, and that gives Goff more time in the pocket. One thing I find encouraging about the OL, though, is that they held Goff up pretty well even when the Bills were in a position to play the pass because the Rams HAD to throw. No Van Jefferson siting today, but Reynolds made his presence felt. Kupp and Woods are just…like…good WRs to have on the team.
Sloman is going to cost the Rams a game. I had more confidence in that bartender guy.
They shoulda won that game, but that was an affordable loss, and posting a comeback like that has to be good for the confidence of the team. If there is such a thing as a good loss, that was it. Nobody got hurt. It was against the AFC. Back-to-back looooong road trips. Inspiring comeback, not just by the offense, but by the defense, too, until the last drive. Given it was 28-3 halfway through the 3rd quarter, I will take that outcome. It was looking far, far worse.
ZooeyModeratorSo…basically…standard-issue “I’ve never seen the Rams play” stuff, “but….”
It’s always interesting to see these comments.
They tend to be a little better from fans of teams the Rams play more frequently, but they watch the Rams play at about the same rate we watch the Bills play.
I’m predicting Josh doesn’t get 400 yards. And I don’t know what “escape hatches” Goff lost. But..whatever. This is going to be a good game, I think, and I am by no means confident.
ZooeyModeratorNo QB is more dangerous from a clean pocket than Aaron Rodgers
…
Through two weeks of play, Goff is now third in the NFL in passing grade (86.1) and second in the rate of uncatchable passes thrown (10%).
wow. just wow. i don’t watch other football games too much, so it’s nice to see some comparisons.
just behind rodgers and ahead of brady with a clean pocket??? third in overall passing grade? he’s also fourth in ypa.
still too early in the season, but i hope it continues.
I’d like to see Goff’s numbers compared to other QBs under pressure. Because Goff’s numbers do drop off a lot under pressure. Is his dropoff worse than other QBs? Or is it about the same? His numbers do drop a lot, though.

Conservatives: Let’s use the military against our populace.
Liberals: Let’s make them change their clothes first.
ZooeyModeratorWell, I think every team is going to try to do that. But i think the Defenses are trying to challenge the Rams OLine as much as the Rams QB.
The thing is, Buffalo has a topped ranked defense. 5th in the league. 3rd against the run. So that’s not just any team trying to do that.
OTOH, Buffalo has played the Jets (32nd ranked offense, 31st rushing) and Miami (22nd ranked offense, 27th rushing). So…the Rams may just cause that Defense ranking to disappear like a barrel over Niagara Falls.
ZooeyModeratorInteresting that they are still favoring Rams coverage in St. Louis. I wonder how their ratings are there. Apparently good enough that their games still draw bigger audiences than any other team.

I know the last time I saw them play.
LA Coliseum. 3 years ago in October. The Bills won, and I was not glad.

September 23, 2020 at 2:10 pm in reply to: do the Bills stand even a fraction of a chance against the Rams? #121588ZooeyModeratorI don’t follow the Bills, so I’m surprised that they are rated so highly, and I’m just going to accept the consensus that they’re pretty good. I guess we are going to see the Rams stressed seriously for the first time.
At the end of the day, one of the teams will be dropped out of the Top 10.
ZooeyModeratorTapping protesters’ phones. This shit is wild. Where is elite media coverage?
They made that legal in the patriot act, I think.
This country jumped the shark when it got rid of Habeas Corpus. Talk about…”where is media coverage?” I mean…that fundamental right was disposed of without a whimper.
They assassinate American citizens without a whimper.
They militarized the police. What for? Not to protect the community. They don’t need that level of armor and weaponry to protect. They need it to suppress the community, to coerce it. Why do they think they need to have police militarized to suppress people? Because they are squeezing the shit out of everybody, and they know they are going to continue to squeeze the shit out of us until we snap, and they are prepared for that snap.
Eavesdropping? Yeah, they’ve been doing that without warrants for 20 years without a whimper. Who’s going to whimper? Edwin R. Murrow is dead.

ZooeyModeratorEnh. Showgirls was better.
ZooeyModeratorI kind of like Cowherd as far as talking heads goes. He has been one of the few national people who seems to actually know what he is actually talking about rather than just spending his energy getting Edgy with conventional wisdom. That thing that just happened in this thread is an example of how the media gets the Rams wrong all the time. Really, last year, everybody just thought Goff isn’t that good, and teams figured McVay out. That was just what everybody said. Cowherd seems better informed, at least about the Rams. I don’t know about other teams. Maybe he’s a Rams fan and actually watches their games, I dunno.
