Am I the only one that sees "Davis Mills" and turns it mentally into "Miles Davis"?
I keep expecting to hear that Cannonball Adderley is starting at running back.
With Coletrane at running back, Monk as WR and Mingus at TE!

Is there a bigger coaching black hole in the NFL than Detroit? Anybody?

In the 2nd half - but he was awful in the first half - 2 INT's including a pick six.
No, despite the two interceptions he was not awful at all. He is the reason why it was still close at halftime. He made some terrific playsNo, despite the two interceptions he was not awful at all. He is the reason why it was still close at halftime. He made some terrific plays

I’m very confused about who I need to root for between Miami and NE… I guess Miami, and hopefully we get them to 1-1 next week. Also hate the Pats more!
That’s my take on this game as I watch it.

I got used to having a fourth-quarter celebratory whiskey last year. Today, it was to numb my frustration with the team today.

It’s going to be a long week.

I hope this is a “pancake” game. When I was on my internship one of my mentors would often say “children are like pancakes. You always throw away the first one“. I hope this is a first pancake.

Why not choose a whiskey that’s actually good. Not my favorite but Buffalo Trace would have been a good choice.

It’s possible that those aspects are a factor to the low “shot” rate, but my own personal experience is that shots are available everywhere, for free and companies likeUBER are offering free rides to get the shot.
The airwaves, social media platforms and media in general have made access near universal. Maybe it’s different in your area, so I’m not discounting your experience. Its
just what I have seen. Everyone who wanted a shot seems to have been able to get access to it.
Now concerning the magnitude of the “significant portion” I agree, I have zero data to back that up and that seems to be because no one is interested enough to
look into it 🤷♂️
But to say that the artificial, administrative consequences haven’t convinced anyone to just “take the darn shot” is also a big leap.
Even if it’s only 10%, 60% who come down on the same side of an argument is a significant majority in today’s world.
Recent polling, for what it’s worth, indicates that 65% of whites, 61% of Hispanics and 55% of African-Americans are in favor of vaccinations. According to the report the numbers continue to go up. Access remains an issue but it does seem to be improving. I do believe time is another major variable. It is also noted that minorities, particularly blacks, are somewhat hesitant because of historical issues and hopefully this will change in time. Interestingly, And for what it’s worth, 30% of white evangelical Christians are against the vaccinations.

You must be from NY … in uncivilized West Virginia where we surprisingly don’t pay 90% of our income in taxes you can go online at any time and make an appointment for the next day at any pharmacy.
I’m glad to hear it. My wife is from West Virginia and I think it is a very cool state. But your strawman attack on me because I might be from New York is misguided. West Virginia seems to be doing pretty well at this time based on my research.Access remains an issue in the deep South and in many areas of the Midwest and West. Also, keep in mind that this is probably the biggest public healthcare endeavor this country has ever had to go through. It will take time before a significant majority of the citizens are vaccinated.
By the way, I love New York!!

The thing to remember is that despite all the loud moral condemnations of the very vocal “pro shot” crowd, they hold the minority position.
We’re still hovering around the 50% mark and of the 50% that took the shot, a significant portion of them did so to avoid the artificial, government enforced consequences, not because they felt they needed/wanted it.
Beas holds the majority opinion and is not alone. Being loud doesn’t mean being right.
With respect, the conclusions you draw are wrong. The primary reason why many still remain unvaccinated is access, pure and simple. And to think that a “significant“ portion of those who got vaccinated did so only to avoid enforced restrictions is a real shot from the hip. Beasley is not in the majority to say the least.
Access and time are the two most important factors right now. The vaccine has been available only for a few months. Realistically, if you think about it, it will take a year or so to get most citizens vaccinated.

There is a difference. In not wearing a seatbelt, you basically put yourself at risk but not others.
Actually, the point of seatbelt laws and, for that matter, motorcycle helmet laws, it’s not to protect the individual but the rest of us from a financial perspective. If somebody suffers a severe injury because they were not wearing a seatbelt or a motorcycle helmet their medical care has to be paid for. If they don’t have insurance, the rest of us pay for it and insurance rates go up. That is the whole point of these laws. They are not so-called “nanny state“ laws.

I guess I just don’t find it as insulting as the OP seems too.

At OT, Length is the most important factor, for setting the proper Width of the Pocket and being able to hinge-push edge guys by. His weight is not as important. His crazy length (35" arms at 6"8") will force the edge guy to go past him. He fits a Passing Offense.
I’m 6’ 2”, which is relatively tall and my arms are 35”. Then again, my knuckles do drag on the ground.

Beasley’s heir apparent?
Perhaps not. Apparently route running not a strength at this time.
-
After he crosses the goal line he should drop into a fetal position and cover up the ball until the referee comes to get it.

No you still don’t get it. You didn’t at first, which is fine, so I clarified that I didn’t mean ONE play proves anything significant.
Then you still insisted that you understand by saying “Did that happen on every play? I doubt it?” Which is you somehow misunderstanding in a different way.
So now you’ve misunderstood twice, but here you are tripling down on your lazy take.
Here’s the bottom line: You looked at the stats and saw a zero for sacks and moved on. That’s fine since you don’t work as a scout, but people that are paid to look at the tape have him as a 1st round talent based on the tape.
Another DE Gregory Rousseau had 15.5 sacks in 2019 then opted out. He’s ranked below Oweh at this point by most scouts because they aren’t being lazy and actually looked at both players’ tape. Oweh has issues that are seemingly easier to fix than Rousseau.
since you’re so stuck on the one play thing. Why not watch some more plays. This was posted earlier in the thread:

Wow! I mean just wow! One of the most frustrating things in these discussions is when somebody makes a certain point. And if someone else disagrees with it based on the merits of the point that person keeps on saying you don’t get my point. That is a very sloppy and, quite frankly, defensive style of debating something.
I’ve read all the posts on this thread. I really don’t care how some rate him. Others don’t have him in their top five edge rushers. When I evaluate a player I prefer as the most important factor is actual production on the field. Absent such production, as in this case, is a big red flag for me. He could be the greatest athlete in the world but it doesn’t matter if he can’t play football very well.
I absolutely get your point and did from the beginning. Can you just understand that I disagree strongly with it? I actually respect your point even though I disagree with it. But stop saying I don’t get it. You can have the last word. Have a good evening.
