The Frankish Reich

Who else does either side got? Right now it looks like both sides have extraordinarily weak benches, the least insofar as candidates who could potentially make it through the primaries goes. Joe v. Donny II, the thrilla in Manila? I don’t think so.

No, I’m just regretful that I can’t LAUGH OUT LOUD at the fools who fell for the most preposterous conspiracy theory ever. Now we all know some others did too, but they’ve tried to maintain plausible deniability. Life is more fun with avowed conspiracy nuts around! (COVID conspiracists coming on strong though, so there is hope)

His 10,000 hours of “Q Analysis” appears to have been for nought, but hey, there’s always the UFO research to fall back on!

https://www.thebulwark.com/dr-oz-quacks-the-code-of-republican-politics/ And with their 15th selection in the 2022 candidate draft, the Republicans select ….…. Dr. Oz! Their prior #1 Trump Family anointed PA pick flamed out after allegations of spousal abuse, which he denied, noting (I am not making this up) that women used to appreciate his type of manly man that would keep them safe from the dinosaurs. EDIT: This is, of course, ridiculous. There were no such things as dinosaurs! They were never mentioned in the Bible!!

Cracky MacRib after Monday trademark THAT

I’ll only give you one warning, and then it’s game on: I am old enough to have seen Gary Marangi in (in)action.

Davis Webb is 26 and was highly regarded enough to go in the 3rd round in 2017. Jake Fromm is 23, but lasted until the 5th round. Neither has done anything of note in the NFL. I don't see any reason why anyone would expect Fromm to be better than Webb. I do know that the Bills coaching staff has watched both, and that they saw no reason to try to protect Fromm. In other words, there's just nothing to see here.

A good laugh, but I gotta admit it - you've hit on something here. "Act like you want the ball even if you're scared as hell if you get it."

I wouldn’t want to call out individual players without evidence. Suffice to say there are many examples of small framed or otherwise undersized guys who bulk up and then seem to suffer from chronic injuries. This is probably more obvious in baseball than in football if only because baseball doesn’t involve the types of repeated violent collisions that may explain repeated (and sometimes unusual) injuries.

Ooh, them’s fightin words. Don’t make me play the Gibran Hamdan card. Please. Just …. don’t.

I call bs on that. It was the immortal LEVI BROWN who never got a fair chance.

They’d love that matchup. But it has no star power other than Belichick on the NE side. With most big market/huge fan base teams (NY, Chicago, Pitt) seemingly out of it, could it be that the Bills are right up there in the TV exec’s dream matchup list?

Well, not all “cold weather cities” are created equal.

You just had to remind me of this one, didn’t you …. … we were the better team then, probably for the last time in 20 years, but weather was the equalizer.

I’ve always said “weather is the great equalizer.” In other words, the underdog stands a better chance in foul weather. But …. Is that true? I mean, that’s my impression and it makes intuitive sense (bad bounces, fumbles, breakdowns of precision passing games, etc, all of which make the game more of a crapshoot) but does anyone know whether the stats actually support that?

Before folks get all excited — Republicans should be very happy to see that a generic/unnamed Republican would beat Joe Biden if the presidential election were held today. Democrats should be very happy to see that there is no such beast as a “generic Republican.” There are only Republican humans with huge negatives in favorability ratings, and those Republicans are either named Trump or they have to publicly and embarrassingly kowtow to Trump to have any chance to make it through the primaries.

That's right. And only 6 returns of 30+ yards in the entire NFL this season. I think the metrics show "secure the ball" and "use good judgement on when to fair catch/when to return/when to let it roll" are more valuable than "may break one" and NFL coaches are responding accordingly. This is kind of my idea of copying Belichick, who used Welker and Edelman to return punts because they rarely made mistakes even though they were unlikely to break one.

Well that would be fun if true. Waiting for the mea culpa.

Deranged Rhino Community Member 55.9k Author Posted October 1, 2020 Just FYI. Fake/doctored image/video dropped here re: Epstein [cell cam] explicity designed to ban - terminate any TWIT user(s) reposting. Do not take the bait. Use discernment. More than a few people still here fell for this^ kind of "logic." Just a reminder. You know who you are.

There have been zero punt returns for TDs this season. In fact, the longest return so far is 47 yards. Is this just a fluke, or does it have something to do with how punting teams are covering/how the refs are calling illegal blocks/who teams are using as punt returners (more sure handed but less fast guys?), etc, etc.? Ever other season I looked at had somewhere between 7 and 10 or 12 punt returns for TDs, including some really long (70+ yard) ones. I just find this very curious, and actually kind of disappointing because long punt returns are one of the more fun plays in football.

Oh, yes there are indeed. But rejecting Q Anon nonsense ain’t one of them! On that one me and Mikey Flynn stand together. As he was known to say (in what is in retrospect a moment of audacious b.s.-ery): where we go one, we go all.

No, it’s sadly gone. It was a tour de force of tinfoil hat-ism. And it was waaay more than an hour of fun. BTW, love the screen name. I sure did. And I am disparaging only the dearly departed from this forum. Actually, I think an apology from those people Is now in order. After all, they were the ones who called me an idiot for NOT believing this crazed nonsense. Hell, even Mike Flynn doesn’t believe it.

Oh how I miss the deleted thread that was about 600 pages of “Q Analysis.” Q. Do you think those dupes have finally come to their senses and realized that the weirdo Watkins family took them for an epic ride? A: not a chance. I’m sure they’ve got a good explanation for why Q hero Flynn essentially called them all fools.

I dunno. I am interested in what else this One Simple Trick can accomplish.

He clearly is hurt, both the foot and the non-throwing shoulder. But have you watched Case Keenum lately?
