Where do you go to find Jags fans? I thought they were just a myth, like Bigfoot, or the female *****. Edit: Apparently this mythical phenomenon of women experiencing a climax of sorts is so taboo it may not be mentioned on these boards. My apologies.

Remember, our assessment of how good teams are is skewed by the fact that we're only 1/3 of the way into the season. In 6 weeks we'll have a different picture. Some teams we think suck will have turned it around, and vice versa. Imagine if 2 weeks ago someone predicted the Chefs would lose consecutive games to the Colts and Texans, Denver would beat TN, SF would beat LA, and NJJ would beat Dallas. That guy would have been derided as an idiot and a fool, but here we are.

This may be a good time to pump the brakes. I'll predict 10-6, but I'm not calling any game on the schedule until it's official - not even against Miami. We've been good early, squeaking out wins against bad teams. Hopefully the winning continues, and maybe this is the year, but it's a little early to get carried away. Most of us have been around long enough to know that 4-1 doesn't mean much. It's a long season and anything can happen.

Don't look now, but Darnold's giving it to Dallas hard, dry, and deep.

It also means Trent Dilfer is better than either and Eli is better than Favre, Rogers, and Drew Brees.

Fitzmagic > Wrong Josh

The latter.

That's the point.

This has gotten me thinking. If you look across the roster, we have way too many positions where losing both our first and second stringers would leave us starting a less than ideal player.

I would use a novel approach. Put Dawson Knox at linebacker, point out Brady, and tell him that guy took his ball.

So did Kyle Long, but he didn't let it affect his game.

This seems as good a place as any for this. Bill Maher laying down the truth. https://youtu.be/T0q2ZR4nBuE

Awww biitch! We got his ass now! Drumpf is toast. I haven't been this excited since we drafted EJ.

As much as I want to believe this, I tend to think Tom is right. I can't envision any scenario where the media can't or won't shield the Democrat establishment from public accountability. When I said Obama could torch an orphanage on TV and still enjoy their support, I wasn't exaggerating by all that much. If some Dems get caught in a serious criminal scandal, morality will get real relative real quick. The presumption of innocence will suddenly become the paramount value of an enlightened society, and jumping to conclusions will be so last year. The pundits will suddenly find the dots impossible to connect. Chuck Todd will look like Brian Stelter trying to make sense of the Jussie Smollett story (see clip below). Even if a Dem or group of Dems were in so deep they became too much of a liability to protect, they would be sacrificed and scapegoated. They would be cast out for bringing shame upon their virtuous Democrat colleagues by engaging in the kind of corruption we expect from Republicans. The moral of the story becomes principled Democrats cleanse their own ranks of ne'er-do-wells, unlike Republicans who rally behind theirs. Think they'll have any trouble convincing your liberal buddies in California? Hell, If they got caught red handed it wouldn't surprise me to see them say the whole thing is a Republican conspiracy, call for impeachment, and have the mass media push that narrative. That's not too far removed from what they're doing now.

I'm imagining some rather Hulkesque analysis. "Big linebacker smash puny receiver."

Maybe his linemen should get out of the way. Didn't that ever occur to you, man?

TJ Yeldon is currently in the on-deck circle. He's been fairly productive, particularly catching passes out of the backfield, but he had a fumble a few games back, and I read a post that said he sucks, so ***** him. He's the reason our offense struggles.

I don't care for the title of this thread. Edit: I approve of the new title. Thanks OP.

He took over a 3-13 team and had winning records his 2nd and 3rd years, (something that's been about as frequent in DC as it has in Buffalo). Then after going 7-9 in an injury riddled 2017, he was 6-3 and leading the division in his 5th year when Alex Smith snapped his leg. It's not exactly a HOF resume, but given the circumstances, not the least of which was working for Dan Snyder, it's hard to say the guy was an abject failure.

So we got the right Josh but the wrong Allen?

This is what I'm talking about. If everything the Dems are now alleging were true (which is highly unlikely), it would mean President Trump pressured the President of Ukraine to spill the beans on Biden's corruption. Read the way Tibs describes that and see if it reads like an honest account of facts by a conscientious purveyor of truth, or the dishonest rhetoric of a shill pushing an agenda. This is exactly what mass media does every day.

There is no issue. Some slimy Dems thought they saw an opportunity to paint something innocuous as something sinister by using misleading rhetoric, reasonably relying on the mass media to carry their water, and their supporters to go along like lemmings. It's straight out of their playbook, and attempts to manipulate cognitive biases to plant false beliefs, and it's disturbingly effective most of the time. In short, once a belief is formed it tends to remain even after the subject learns that the facts upon which the belief was formed is false. In this example, Dems/media make bogus accusations & present them as fact. They know eventually some or all of the truth will come out, but by that time the belief will have formed and thus remain. As long as they continue to stick with the narrative their followers and many semi-informed casual observers will retain the core message, which is "orange man bad." This is a common pattern. See Russian collusion, Brett Kavanaugh, Jamal Khashoggi, white supremacists are fine people, etc. It looks like they may have overplayed their hand this time, but who knows. What Tibs does here, (stating blatant absurdities as the plain truth) is what the media does, and no one outside of marginalized right-wing news outlets gives much coverage when the truth comes out. They move on to the next fake scandal and the cycle repeats. You'd think lefties would eventually get wise, but few ever do. Never underestimate the power of denial.

Apparently one of his friends tweeted that he got a concussion, but was ok otherwise.

I loose a little more faith in humanity every time I see people taking glee in someone else getting seriously hurt by doing something that may be stupid, but without ill intent. It reminds me that despite how conspicuously compassionate we like to portray ourselves, a good many of us are mean-spirited ace holes who wallow in the misery & misfortune of others.

Are you still in RG3 sucks denial?
