The colts fumble that was not called
Doc Brown replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
At least that's what the NFL wants you to believe. That next play was going to happen if McDermott doesn't call a timeout. It should've immediately been reviewed from above and somebody from the NFL screwed up. I HATE conspiracy theorists but the most likely reason why that was ruled not a fumble is because the NFL wanted to save face and not have McD's timeout be the reason it was overturned. -
True and it would be a little cruel for the NFL to give us the first Saturday game if we play Pittsburgh as we'd almost get an extra day and a half to rest/prepare. I edited my post in that there's been no consistency with the 1 seeds playing on Saturday or Sunday. Obviously, they pick which games they try and pair what games they think will be most interesting in the most popular projected viewing slots. I think whoever our opponent is will be more interesting than the Packers/Rams game but who knows.

Where'd you hear that? Last season the 1 seeds played on Saturday. There's been no consistency over the years with that though. All we know are the times on Saturday are 4:35pm and 8:15pm. The times on Sunday are 3:05pm and 6:40pm.

We played our C game and still won.

If Biden eliminates the legislative filibuster I'll call him out. It would be far more damaging than anything Trump ever did. They'll have to get most of their legislative agenda's done through reconciliation because there's little incentive to work across the aisle out of fear of being primaried.

Graham still has a flip phone.

Donald Trump permanently banned on Twitter
Doc Brown replied to SlimShady'sSpaceForce's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
This has nothing to do with social media censorship but I always equated the #walkaway movement to the #nevertrump movement. Most of the talking points for the #walkaway movement were something along the lines of "I voted two times for Obama but now I see the error of my ways." For the #nevertrump folks it was "I voted Republican all my life but Trump's toxic personality and divisive rhetoric is tearing this country apart so I'm now voting Democrat." Meanwhile, they do national polls and both have between a 85 and 95% approval rating for both within their party. There's pry some who drifted away from their party but I think the majority were just bad actors on twitter. -

Doc Brown replied to SlimShady'sSpaceForce's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
I've been saying that twitter was his worst enemy for the last four years when this site was mostly a conservative echo chamber. I kept hearing it's his only way to get his message out without being censored by the msm. -
Yeah I do. Just looking at the Bills record against the spread since Allen started there's a difference between the home and away games. IMO, with a home crowd behind him that eagerness to please can make him play hero ball too often and gets him overly amped before a game impacting his accuracy. Home: 2018-2019 (6-8) 2020 (6-2) Away: 2018 -2019 (9-3-2) 2020 (5-3)

LOL. Yes. They're going to convince Joe Manchin to lift the filibuster. Give me a break. Not much is going to change. I heard the Democrat party was dead four years ago after the GOP took both houses and the presidency. Dems will now have control all three. It took eight years of Bush and Obama to accomplish the same. The Republican Party and Democrat Party will never be "dead" because most Americans will only elect politicians that keep the sides between the 30 yard line.

Round 1 Playoff: Colts at Bills - Sat. 1/9 1:05pm
Doc Brown replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I agree and it just proves Daboll doesn't deserve a head coaching job. -
Do you want to meet Brady in Super Bowl?
Doc Brown replied to Artem Lipatov's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Allen would pry have to out duel Rivers, Roethlisberger, Mahomes/Jackson, and Rodgers/Brady/Brees to win the Super Bowl. Can't we get Marino, Schroeder, and Hostetler again? -
Diggs and Beasley both practicing!
Doc Brown replied to nato7412's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Colts play a lot of zone coverage so Beasley's ability to find soft spots will be important. It's the playoffs and if a hobbled player can push through you play him as there might not be a next week. -
He has a 95% approval rating in his own party.

The simplest way I can put it is the federal government doesn't have to balance its budget. If you tax wealthy people high at a state and federal level some may leave that state. The state doesn't then generate enough revenue to balance their budget and the first thing they'll cut are social programs that help the lower and middle class. Raising the federal tax rate on the highest income earning and lifting the SALT caps helps both the federal and state government provide the biggest possible social safety net.
-
I agree with you but here's the counter argument. Many blue states (NY, MA, NJ) pay more in federal taxes than they take in while red states (MS, WV, AL, KY) pay less than they take in. In other words, these blue states who have higher income levels subsidize poorer red states who don't generate as much federal revenue per person. The SALT deductions try to help level that playing field.
-
You'd think so but what it actually does is drive wealthy people out of highly taxed states because they can't rely on those SALT deductions anymore leaving the lower and middle class holding the bag due to budget decreases.
