  1. I knew there would be a day when there was a thread about magic. My questions is: since a high percentage of this board seem to legitimately believe in a mystical evil that pervades our team, why has no one ever tried to hire a priest or Gandalf impersonator to exorcise the demon? Perhaps a polyjuice potion made from Ryan Fitzpatrick’s chest hair, scrapings from his wedding ring, and Rex Ryan’s Dr. Scholl’s insert? Can Tyrod burn sage in Highmark?

  2. The Patriots dynasty was built on made up disrespect (and cheating) and pretending to be the underdog. Cincinnati beat us twice on blatantly false narratives. Other teams use the bulletin board material game with great success like the Chiefs (i.e. Kelce’s “the Chiefs are done”). Why don’t we? The closest we’ve come was the emoji game against the Dolphins and it worked like a charm.

    Eagles fans are using a nothing burger to try and frame a disrespect narrative for the game tomorrow.

     

     

  3. 11 hours ago, theRalph said:

    Though the offensive woes have been chronic, they haven't moved the needle as seismically as 12-men-on-the-field debacle. I'm wondering if Dorsey still has a job had the wide-right stood putting the Bills at 6-4.

     

    Dorsey failed when he lost the personnel —Dawson Knox—he needed for 12-personnel. Knox's injury vs. Jaguars started the crappy offensive trend (Knox played two more games but wasn't effective (see the 4th down drop vs. Pats)). Dorsey couldn't adapt to an 11-personnel approach, only being able to muster a predictable 2 X 2 motionless formation. 

     

    But none of that has a thing to do with 12 men. Hmmm.

    I'm assuming Dorsey was the brain trust that thought it was a good idea to use Knox as a decoy, or one-handed blocker, or whatever the hell they thought they could do against professional defenses for multiple games instead of just putting him on IR and healing him up. I assume it was Dorsey because McD doesn't play injured players, especially when season's are on the line (i.e. holding out Hyde in Cincinatti last season, and everyone who was out monday night).

  4. The truth is that Aaron Rodgers isn’t a miraculous healer, they overstated his injury. He’s not going to be the fastest recovery for an athlete ever over the age of 40 just because Ayahuasca is “a hell of a drug.” Or just because he doesn’t believe in Big Pharma that modern medicine doesn’t exist. The real question is why? 

  5. I'm concerned that if every game is our most important, it will lead to Emotional Exhaustion or EE. EE affects playoff teams who want to golf early. If your team suffers from moderate to severe EE, consult your clapper to clap them into a state of wanting to win. Or their "diva" WR who has the unmitigated temerity to remind them that wanting to win is what you should already have a strong desire for, not a finite tank that has the capability of being emptied.
