The Frankish Reich

Collinsworth pointing out that the Titans offense is very similar to the 49ers with the exception of having completely different skillsets at QB now and the 49ers being loaded with speedy playmakers while the Titans have none but do have a human battering ram. Like he said, very similar.

Neither of them is a Tua.

So we are back to the Year of No Offense in the second half. When does this end?

How are the Chiefs losing to a team that has completed 4 passes for 84 yards? The return of the Tebow offense.

If Tyreek is still on the Chiefs, they are winning this game. On the other hand: If Tannehill is healthy and AJ Brown is still there, the Titans are winning by a couple touchdowns.

So far I'm seeing that the way to stop Kelce is to have a much smaller man bear hug him until Mahomes gives up. So much for that "KC gets all the calls" thing.

Contrast of styles always makes for an interesting game.

Yeah, I give up on that strategic rooting thing. Just glad that we have an actual entertaining game that I'm watching today.

Yeah, that was ... weird.

So this was the real Punt God.

Agreed. I think they may have just found themselves their QB. Kind of worrying (looking ahead to the playoffs) that he seems to be getting it far quicker than most people assumed.

Line: we hate PFF. I know, I know ... ... but here it completely agrees with my perceptions: - Dawkins: good (PFF rating in the low 70s) - Saffold: awful (PFF rating in the mid-40s). How is it that he's actually been worse than Feliciano was? I wasn't expecting that. But old is old. - Morse/Bates/Brown/Quessenberry: marginal/replacement level (low 60s) It's awfully hard to trade for an O lineman and fit him in during the season. But that's kind of the move they needed to at least try to make. There's no in-house help (Boettger? Really?). It was rough watching the Jets get pressure late in the game on every dropback with a pure 4-man rush. We better get used to it and try to scheme around it as best we can.

I'd go with 80% garbage - Dawkins is generally solid.

Bucs - Rams: this new low offense NFL sucks.

Problem is the division is looking like it will not only be competitive, but actually good over the next few years. So we don’t get out Pats style 6 (or at least 5) easy wins every year.

Agree. I knew he was good, but he’s an absolutely game changing player, week in, week out.

What is your life expectancy? The social security tables say I’ve got 23 years but I’m taking the under on that.

I will have to do a survey of: - the universe of boring white Democratic women senators and governors (no, not Hochul!) - the universe of black and hispanic Democratic senators and governors - and lest we forget: boring LGBTQ Democratic senators and governors - Jared Polis? My take: America wants boring!

I completely agree. If I'm a Jets fan (wow, that's a disturbing thought), I'm still happy we got Wilson. He has the athleticism/arm to make that leap.

I'm not sure I agree with the last part (about a minority candidate), but the likelihood that a white male other than Biden could make it through the primaries is pretty slim. I'm no DeSantis fan but he's smart, sane, young, and Machiavellian (Trump is only the last one), and probably would be able to actually govern in a reasonably effective manner.

I agree. But … Trump almost certainly doesn’t.

Trump planning to announce shortly after Election Day? Let the fun begin! He will have to systematically take down any and every other potential nominee. That’s the only way he knows to play this game. The ass-kissing Ted Cruz of post-Trump 2016 nomination days? Gone. Welcome back “your dad was in with Oswald and your wife is ugly too.” And there’s so many, many more. Bring on the 🍿

Right. There’s a difference between “none of your picks from that draft amounted to anything” and “I can’t believe they picked Sam Bowie ahead of Michael Jordan/Bradley Chubb ahead of Josh Allen.”

Is this an either/or? Or am I allowed to raise you a Boobie Dixon?
