3 games in 3 days without your best player will do it I was very nervous going into the tournament Because a bad 3-day weekend will drastically alter the look of your record but there was a lot of good teams there Beating Houston in game 1 would have given us a complete different Outlook But it did show we could take a top defensive team to the wire

Nice catch! Thank you

I was scrolling through this post. You stole my humor 🍻

The defense was bad today, maybe fatigue? Guys were driving and no one was stepping up to help stop the ball

Spread moving bc we likely will be without both tackles...against a very good pass rush and still elite game wrecker in Watt. I personally dont see how we win this one with Vandemark and Lundt starting. Gonna be alot of run, run, pass.

"Calvinism"you're correct. Which is more specifically a doctrine of no free will or predestination in layman's terms within Christianity But Calvin was a pivotal part of the reformation that questioned the churches authority, along with martin Luther which in turn created the fertile ground for not necessarily establishing one church authority in the new colonial world and their discussions about a new government etc They were a core reason for not having an establishment of religion in the Constitution etc It's obviously way more nuanced than this but this is like 1 % of the cliff notes But the larger report remains. The Iroquois had literally nothing to do with any of this. There was temporary alliances and or treaties etc.

I think he did

If they miss the meetings together did they really miss the meeting or did they each attend an alternative meeting? If Kevyn Adams can't get himself fired there is no shot McDermott or Beane do.

May as well throw in Rousseau and see what comes out! I put Trumpy's thoughts on Calvinism and its influence on the Revolution into ChatGpt. It laid out about a dozen different historians from four or five different schools of thought on the subject, and their books. Best use of Chatgpt I've ever come across

I think people are getting caught up in what I’m gonna call the ‘Vikings paradox’ cuz this happened to them twice fairly recently 😂. Like colts/pats may end up with an overall record of a team that typically makes it to the afc championship game but put yourself in the hypothetical scenario that you’re sitting down to watch a division round game and it’s the 1 seed pats/colts vs a 6 or 7 seed 10 win chiefs team. What do you deep down in your heart of hearts really think the outcome of that game would be? Chiefs/ravens schedule really lightens up so the whole overall record ‘chiefs/ravens aren’t that good’ feeling is probably gonna fade in the next month or so the chiefs are extremely flawed compared to peak chiefs teams of years past of course but peak chiefs teams of years past aren’t really relevant here at all.. it would just be how do the current chiefs match up with pats/colts etc and it’s really hard to see either of those teams as a better team than the chiefs overall flaws and all or the ravens. The colts have probably the biggest flaw heading to the playoffs and the pats have a bills thing going on where they’ve got a good qb but everyone else is just pretty solid which is gonna be tough sledding against a lot of these tough defenses on the afc side. Maybe they get a better playoff diggs than we ever got but even he in his prime was getting locked up pretty good by kc in the playoffs really should be the ravens year the way I see it but if the chiefs are hanging around the ravens definitely won’t beat them 😂 Don’t get me wrong I don’t think the chiefs are some excellent team I just think the afc field is so weak this year that they could do enough to earn the right to get throttled in the Super Bowl. I would love to be wrong and see kc go out and lose to Dallas tomorrow though for sure haha but then it’s back to the ravens being the problem

Ah yes, renowned NFL insider Dick Johnson.

My only problem with Rogers was when he lied about getting a covid vaccine when he never did. He said something about getting a homeopathy vaccine of some sort. Homeopathy is a pseudoscience. No empirical evidence at all to support it. If he didn’t want to get the vaccine, he should have just said so.

I agree on McD not being fired. But I can see Beane getting canned. This roster is old, injury prone and has not emerging stars on it…maybe deone Walker

If he succeeds later this year on another team one would have to say, "what happened here". That would be on (in order) Henry, Mangas, Lubick, Brady, McDermott and Beane. maybe even Josh slipped in there somewhere.

Agree on part 1. Part 2, Montesquieu - Interesting, and someone I never knew of. This is the rare thread on PPP where I’m actually learning something.

I agree, I think he will be a college HC next season.

Stat line vs Steelers is either going to be 8-145-2 or 2-34-0

What is a simple definition of satire? Satire is the art of making someone or something look ridiculous, raising laughter in order to embarrass, humble, or discredit its targets.

Yeah, I was always in the minority.....Aaron is one of my favorite personalities in sports. I don't get all the made up, coerced hate

I'm running out of decent options to be honest. In all the years I have been doing these things, I've tried to get cute too early by taking lesser teams early in order to save some good ones for later. But, that's cost me after doing it too much and I'd be out halfway through the season. This year, I decided to go the other way and take teams I was pretty confident in but that has gotten rid of a lot of top teams for me already. So, I have a feeling my weeks are numbered here. I'm on the Jags this week. Sure, I have a slam dunk or 2 I could take this week, but if I burn them, then even if I do make it through the week, I'll pretty much be DOA over the next week or 2. So, we'll see what happens. Jags could absolutely win this week. But it's still the freaking Jags and they can lose at any given moment. Just feel like my hands are kind of tied as we head down the stretch here.

Lol…. We could only be so lucky for them to play Moore over Boutte and Douglas. Boutte is a legit WR. Douglas is more gadgety thy WR at this point….but he’s better than Moore fsho

Maybe Philly will trade for Josh Allen so he can make Daboll “look like an NFL coach”
