  1. This is great! Thanks for posting!
  2. How many more deep shots per game do you think he'll take? He's already taken at least 2 or 3 in every game. And he's missed every one. When he starts connecting, completion percentage and YPA will go up, not down. His completion percentage might fluctuate. In fact it almost definitely will. But you seem pretty resigned to it fluctuating on a steady trend down, which I think is interesting.
  3. False: Biden pushed out a Ukrainian prosecutor investigating his son Trump has falsely claimed that Biden in 2015 pressured the Ukrainian government to fire Viktor Shokin, the top Ukrainian prosecutor, because he was investigating Ukraine’s largest private gas company, Burisma, which had added Biden’s son, Hunter, to its board in 2014. There are two big problems with this claim: One, Shokin was not investigating Burisma or Hunter Biden, and two, Shokin’s ouster was considered a diplomatic victory. Biden was among the many Western officials who pressed for the removal of Shokin because he actually was not investigating the corruption endemic to the country. Indeed, he was not investigating Burisma at the time. In September 2015, then-U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Geoffrey Pyatt publicly criticized Shokin’s office for thwarting a British money-laundering probe into Burisma’s owner, Mykola Zlochevsky. “Shokin was not investigating. He didn’t want to investigate Burisma,” Daria Kaleniuk, of the Ukrainian Anti-Corruption Action Center, told The Washington Post in July. “And Shokin was fired not because he wanted to do that investigation, but quite to the contrary, because he failed that investigation.” In a 2018 appearance at the Council on Foreign Relations, Biden bragged about his role in Shokin’s removal, saying he had withheld $1 billion in loan guarantees as leverage to force action. But Biden was carrying out a policy developed at the State Department and coordinated with the European Union and the International Monetary Fund. The Ukrainian prosecutor was regarded as a failure, and “Joe Biden’s efforts to oust Shokin were universally praised,” said Anders Aslund, a Swedish economist heavily involved in Eastern European market reforms. Getting rid of Shokin was considered the linchpin of reform efforts, but U.S. officials had a list of changes the government needed to make before it could obtain another loan guarantee. In December 2015, Biden traveled to Kiev and decried the “cancer of corruption” in the country in a speech to the parliament. “The Office of the General Prosecutor desperately needs reform,” he noted. Shokin was removed from office three months later, and Biden announced April 15 that the loan guarantee would go forward; the agreement between the United States and Ukraine was signed June 3. One can certainly raise questions about Hunter Biden’s judgment in joining Burisma’s board at a time his father had a high-profile role in working with Ukraine’s government. But by continuing to claim that Biden “did” something for his son, Trump persists in spreading a false narrative about a diplomatic maneuver hailed at the time as a step toward reducing corruption in Ukraine.
  4. Why would I vote for Joe if he's not on the ticket? You already know, as I've told you a number of times, I'm not hitching my wagon to Joe. Writing in a candidate to vote for is moronic. You must really like me.
  5. Funny that you think that's a good look. If a bunch of people around Trump working for and with Trump very closely--so closely they see or transcribe phone conversations--think he's doing something extremely concerning, it's more likely he's doing something extremely concerning than your bizzaro conspiracy theories over here. But yeah, let's keep calling for the execution of patriotic whistleblowers. Just wanted to check in. You guys are still in the rabbit hole.
  6. Answer what? Did you ask me a question? Sorry, I was distracted by the snowballing pile of feces you guys are creating over here. It's actually kind of fascinating.
  7. Why don't you expect him to maintain the completion percentage? Just curious. Pretty incredible point right here.
  8. Gawd you people are sad. I understand though. Denial is the first step. You'll reach acceptance, I just hope it's earlier than January 2021--if not earlier--when we have a Democratic President.
  9. So how much farther down the nutty rabbit hole will you guys go before you start clawing your way out? I can't even laugh at this point because it's just how pathetic it is the way you guys are hangin in the Trench with your spray tan President while grenades and live ammunition are going off all around you. Unbelievable. Don't worry @Deranged Rhino, if Trump is impeached out of office you get out of the bet on a technicality since none of the Democratic candidates had the actual chance to run against him
  10. Weird. I thought everyone was complaining about how invisible he's been
  11. Do you really not get it????? This isn't about Joe Biden. This is about Trump and what's looking more and more like treason. This seems to be all of your arguments in favor of anything Trump did wrong. "Well if Trump should be in jail, so should ______________" Who the F cares who's in that blank??????? You're seriously maintaining that as your argument????? Someone here mentioned bunker mentality earlier and you guys clearly have it. Open your eyes. The guy you voted into office is a crook, and if your only argument is that the other side is full of crooks, too, it doesn't make your defense of your boy any stronger.
  12. This is a 5 page transcript that people can read. It's not the 400 page monster that the Mueller report was that even people who were interested in didn't read. It's pretty clear what happens in the conversation. The new Ukranian President is trying to kiss as much butt as possible to maintain his foreign aide. He even mentions he stayed in Trump Tower in NY. Speaker #1: "Hey buddy, can I get that money you owe me?" Speaker #2: "I need you to do me a favor, though..." In what world does Speaker number 1 NOT view his reception of that money as dependent upon what comes in the ellipses of Speaker #2? Honestly, these twitter interpretations are ridiculous. It's right there. And it's obviously a horrible look for the President. And if there's more stuff like this, which there reportedly is, it's treason and exactly what the founders of our country created the impeachment process for. To paraphrase Brian Shatz today, I'm confused, you think this is good for Trump?
  13. Jesus Christ. You're absolutely nuts. Get on the right side of history.
  14. Remember how I said it's ANY Democratic candidate vs Trump because I wasn't hitching my wagon to Biden? Yeah. So there's that. But at least you put yourself on record for like the 40th time that Biden won't be the nominee. So wishy washy
  15. Jesus. I came here just to see if there would be ANY shift whatsoever. All you Trump lovers (sorry, that's maybe the most neutral word for you at this point), can you acknowledge, very simply, that IF Trump withheld money from the Ukraine--entirely, or in part, because he wanted them to investigate the Bidens--he deserves to be impeached? If you say no, you're clearly not as much of a Patriot as many of you claim to be or at least present yourselves as. The fact is that there is evidently a whistleblower who, according to reports (it HAS to be merely reported since Trump and the White House have tried to stonewall the legal process for whistleblower release) has evidence against Trump based on multiple instances, not just one... so do you guys even give a $#!+? This is the 3rd President in our entire history to be impeached, and neither of the previous 2 were impeached for what the current inquiry is for, which is coercing a foreign government for political gain. I'm genuinely curious because this is the President of our country. This is seriously screwed up if proven true. Probably treasonous. Do you care? I feel like most of you are thinking you're captains of your own crazy ships in the 1700s and it's your obligation to go down with your ship. Wrong metaphor folks. Where there's smoke there's fire. Your house is burning. You've already inhaled a lot of smoke. Just get out while you can. Fuggin FOX News. Unreal. And you criticize others for their media choices I call your Faux News unnamed source and raise you TWO unnamed sources PLUS the actual assessment of the Intelligence Community IG:
  16. I was astounded that this was a question, then I saw this was our friendly neighborhood Packer fan. Without even reading a single response, everyone over 35 I can guarantee said Dallas. Those who didn't... well... I feel bad they didn't even taste the glory years.
  17. That play was absolutely a horrible play on his part. It's something he really REALLY needs to stop doing. Yet... If it resulted in a completion and a big play, we wouldn't be harping on it that much. Look, I completely 100% agree needs to stop making that specific throw, which he's already done a couple times this year. But I don't know if he ever stops. I really think we might need to just suffer through it. It's the flipside of Allen being probably the most difficult QB in the NFL to take down in the backfield. All of that said, Lamar Jackson made one of those absolute boneheaded throws that should have been intercepted across the field in the Chiefs game, but his WR caught it. And right now on talk shows you hear a lot of people talking about how gritty Jackson was for the Ravens at the end of that game as he almost brought his team back.
  18. Considering he has 2 4th Quarter comebacks and Game Winning Drives in his first 3 games, this shouldn't be a surprise.
  19. The miss to Zay hurt, but it was a bit of an awkward delivery towards the end of a broken play. As play on the the deep shot to Foster began, I could just tell there was a deep shot designed to him based on who was on the field with him... I think the Bengals saw those 3 missed deep shots to Foster last week and took note. Hence, 2 guys down in the EZ with him with good coverage.
  20. Why would I make it a whole new thread when I can just update this one? To be clear, I do think completion percentage is meaningful. You're an idiot if you don't think it is. It means your WRs and TEs and RBs are catching passes from the QB, which is thus helping to advance the ball... and that's why I also posted YPA. The 2 should be taken largely together. HOWEVER, the narrative, very simply, has been this: Completion percentage = QB Accuracy, therefore, Josh Allen is an inaccurate QB. And then some random wildly missed throws are cherry picked to further "prove" that point. I never agreed with that narrative because I watched all his passes multiple times last year. And (sorry @Bangarang) I did say in the offseason after looking at his passes that I thought his accuracy was fine when compared with his peers and that I thought he'd be above 60% this year.
  21. Been there for a week and you didn't say a thing about smugness. But I'll change that just for you. Clearly you're very sensitive.
  22. You considered me changing 2 numbers in the OP and posting the words "OP updated after today's game." smug??? Geez, you must be a blast at parties.
