  1. Darron Lee. Duh.
  2. Shanahan also didn't have the greatest reputation after resigning as the Browns OC because the front office pressured him to play Manziel.
  3. I think you're all nuts and suffering from recency bias. Milano is our best LB by far when healthy and is not a "liability" in run coverage. AJ Klein is painfully slow and should only be used in emergency situations. He is a good blitzer though. Which is nice.
  4. Exactly and Biden did that to a certain extent as he called for reforming the police by calling for additional funding for police for mental health training. Just the "defunding the police" slogan stuck with the Dems and Republicans were successful in exploiting that message. Same thing with the green new deal. "Free college" also stuck with their socialist message the Republicans pushed. It's why I think the Dems disappointed down ticket. You may be right and it's why he could easily be nominated again in 2024. Can there be Trumpism without Trump? Probably not. Reagan is pry the most apt comparison but he was an ideologue whereas Trump just told people what they wanted to here. In this case the far right. His inability to even attempt to appeal to anyone outside his base cost him reelection and I think the sober Trump supporters who aren't convinced the election was stolen from him recognize this. Maybe I'm just too cynical from the Obama years but maybe they can get a couple Republicans to get them to get something done through reconciliation. A public option seems off the table assuming a Republican wins one of the Georgia special Senate elections.
  5. He's unique in that he somehow has the ability to bring out low propensity voters to vote for him and even more low propensity voters to vote against him. That's why you had record turnout this election. I think if a more palatable Trump like figure with the same populist agenda would win in 2024 rather easily if the economy enters even a mild recession. People don't want to hear things like "defund the police" and "green new deal" in the middle of a pandemic. Biden only won because he was viewed as a moderate candidate as the Trump team failed in their efforts to paint him as a trojan horse to the radical left. Biden's platform was fine. One thing the Democrats now have is a news media that will give Democrats more coverage and won't be focused solely on Trump. First priority should be assisting small businesses and the unemployed until the vaccine is widely distributed enough so we can get back to a normal life. The Republicans will be brutal in the Senate at agreeing with any bill Biden in the House try to pass as they were rewarded for being unprecedented obstructionists under Obama. Biden is somehow going to have to use the bully pulpit to get a deal done.
  6. Worst realistic case scenario in my mind - the Fins go 3-1 over their next four (probable loss to Chiefs) and we go 1-3 (beat Broncos)....we just have to beat them at home in the finale to take the division. All games are important but it's not the end of the world if we lose this one.
  7. Arizona is the rumor. Let’s hope it doesn’t come down to a Hal Mary.
  8. Who gave Bill O’Brien an account?
  9. Defense played well today against a decent offense. Held Allen and Williams in check. Made a key 4th down stop and only allowed three points off the three turnovers. OT's had their worst game of the season as Bosa just blew almost everything up. Allen uncharacteristically had two 4th quarter turnovers but made enough plays to win. Tyler Bass is my MVP.
  10. No he isn't. They just need to find somebody that pushes the same agenda that doesn't retweet Quanon tweets at three in the morning or calls athletes who kneel SOB's. There's more of a schism with the Democrat party. They under performed down ballot. They were supposed to take the Senate. They didn't. They were supposed to gain seats in the House. They didn't. Eighty million Americans finally said enough of this Trump guy and voted for the guy who wasn't Trump because he's a sane moderate. However, they made a statement voting for a Republican down ballot (or just voting for Biden). Dems better get their crap together or they're going to be wiped out in 2022 and 2024. That means getting rid of Pelosi and finding a Speaker to stand up and distance themselves from the more radical part of the party.
  11. I get the sharp money on the Chargers with the injury news and their 3-7 record being deceiving but we have a few things working to our advantage. -Coming off a bye giving McDermott time to scheme against a rookie quarterback with almost all of our defensive starters back. -Chargers are down their best CB and two of their top three pass rushers. -Good weather and the Chargers having to travel to the East coast should favor the Bills.
  12. The message I'm getting from the NFL is you're screwed if only a few players get COVID......... but we'll bend over backwards for you if you're irresponsible enough to have it spread throughout a large percentage of your roster.
  13. The Trump movement is alive and well. The trick will be finding someone with similar policies that is more palatable to the American public. Eighty million people voted mostly to not have to deal with four more years of hearing Trump's name every time they turned on the tv.
  14. Beasley, Davis, Knox, and Kroft are going to have to step up.
  15. A TERABYTE???? Who the hell are these 5% of people that exceed that limit? I didn't even know that was possible. Get an outside hobby. Anything.
  16. That would be a very Jets like move.
  17. This offense isn't the easiest to learn and the coaching staff seems to have a lot of faith in Davis. I don't see it. Eagles, Packers, and Ravens come to mind. Maybe even the Raiders try to upgrade from Zay Jones.
  18. If this is Josh in 10 years than so be it.
  19. That's because their #2 and #3 WR's are horrible averaging 24 and 22 yards per game the TE will see a lot of looks. We're 5th in passing yards per game right now. Without googling it name the leading TE for the greatest show on turf. The point being is you don't need great production from your TE core to be a productive offense.
  20. It may come to that. Even more important, your dad lives in Henrietta and is a Steelers fan? Blasphemy.
  21. The alternate 16 team playoff becoming more likely with cases going up across the country.
  22. Good time to buy? I still have no clue what bitcoin is.
  23. If that's the criteria you go by I'd argue that Gregg Williams is one of the worst of all time.
