    Josh Allen takes a step: 71.7% and 104.6 Passer Rating on 46 passing attempts

    in The Stadium Wall Archives

    Posted · Edited by Foxx

    like most here, i loved Allen's game yesterday. there is no question that he has come a long way from when he entered the league to where he is today.

     

    just a note of caution though, this was the first game of a unprecedented off season. one where there were no preseason games and teams with not a whole lot of continuity are going to have initial pains getting into their groove. that being said, the talent difference out there on the field yesterday was stark. if not for the few miscues we had (though to be fair, every team has them), it would have been over at the half. give it a month, we will have a better idea what level we are at after the Dolphins, Rams and Raiders games and for sure will know where we are after the Titans and Chiefs games.

     

    additionally, i think an argument could be made for Josh's fumbles counting against his passer rating. which i think is partly what ESPN's QBR does. he was 13th in the league yesterday at 71.2. with 4 QB's still to be evaluated tonight, he is middle of the pack either way at this point.

    PPP Under Fire

    ... I have two simple recommendations. The first would be to nominate and choose two moderators by vote: one politically left-leaning, the other politically right-leaning, both level-headed, and both regular forum users. Both moderators would have to agree on any decision to suspend or ban a user before the decision could be executed. My second recommendation would be to create a PPP user guide for new and visiting members and then pin it to the top of the first page. The user guide could include a PPP roster for regular members with basic info about their political orientation, who they’re voting for in November, or any special political “areas of expertise” they’d like to share. ...

    i would nominate you, Kay. however, i like you too much to wish or inflict the thanklessness that comes with that job.

     

    since this threads creation (regardless of where you stand in the political spectrum) there has been a positive change within this sub. once again, self moderation is proving that it can and does work. oft times the best solution is no solution.

     

    game day baby!! Let's Go Buffalo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    this really isn't the proper thread for this, being as it is really Covid inspired but i didn't want to start a new thread. however at some point in the near future, we may need a new thread dedicated to the economic effects of Covid.

     

     is hyperinflation beginning to take hold?

     

    generally your commodities fluctuate on a pretty wide price scale, however what i experienced this past week with dimensional lumber could more than likely be qualified as Covid inspired hyperinflation. i dunno, about two/three weeks ago i payed the standard price for a 2x4x8 piece of SPF, roughly $3.30 a stick.  i think it was Wednesday that sticker shock bit me as the price now is $ 6.57 a stick or 100% higher than just a few weeks ago. 

     

    earlier this year, as the Covid was blossoming into full swing, mills across the country shut down. resulting in a lumber shortage, especially in pressure treated lumber. in the Spring, this is a big deal with decks looking to get built.

     

    slowly the mills came back online and it is now to the point where, while one supplier might not have the exact dimensional size you need, due to demand, you can probably find what you need somewhere in town.

     

    that the mills came back online without a noticeable price rise was somewhat odd but welcomed. the delayed effect of the rise,  though shocking in it's magnitude, is not completely unexpected.

     

    the ripples of this are just beginning, the price of all things construction is going to rise dramatically, including new home construction.

     

    hang tight and stay frosty.

    Lmfao, scared straight backfire 🤣🤣

    Maybe if the account I was laughing at was called Any and All Taxation is Theft.

    not really looking to get into a pissing match here but.... as a general rule of thumb, when a generic term is being applied, such as 'people', without delineation, it is generally accepted that it is all encompassing.

     

    outside of that, glad to know you don't agree with any and all forms of taxation.
