I would like to see more of these ejections. As it stands, a defender can knock your QB out of the game for the price of 15 yards and stay in, more often than not.
That's not taking these kind of hits seriously.
...agree and it WAS a good call......

You shouldn’t overpay Qbs. Obviously there are exceptions to the rule but look at the league now. Lamar won a MVP in his 2nd season. So did Mahomes. Joe Burrow, a good but not generational prospect, is on pass for 4,600 yards as a rookie! Justin Herbert, who no one thought was close to an elite prospect, is at pace that if he started 16 games, he would throw for 5,000 yards.
fact is Qbs are completely overpaid and qb’s 2nd contracts kill your ability to build a roster. It has never been easier to pay qb in the NFL and college guys translate easier than ever. Obviously, there are exceptions to the rule (Seattle kinda sucks minus Wilson but he carries the team; Mahomes; Brady; Rodgers) but too many replaceable guys get paid too much. Also if teams stopped handing out monster to Deals to average talents like Goff and Tannehill (during Miami), it would bring the salaries down.
And for the record, I’m totally down with every player getting every cent they can. But these contracts murder franchises.
...no way to reverse the slippery slope now......the "bar of absurdity" will continue to go up exponentially........look at some of the "fine (COUGH) examples" of QB's still getting paid......

I'm not expecting Josh to throw the ball 40 times Sunday. I said in my post I don't expect Daboll to shut down Josh and the passing game completely.
There could be a lot of YAC yards with passes over the middle to Beasley and Diggs.
...all I want to see is "Prince" lamenting in his presser, fedora and all, about the "L"........with "Purple Rain" playing in the background.......

I just don't think the evidence supports it. Because they just extended him and made him a priority extension. So either the coaches and the front office are at loggerheads (I don't believe that) or something changed dramatically. He played poorly at Miami now if they really changed course so quickly on the basis of that one performance then Spain has a right to be utterly pissed.
EDIT: and I don't think I am a better evaluator of guard play that our coaches. But I also don't believe Spain was benched purely for play. There is more to this.
...I'd bet it had something to do with his "last minute injury" which was spawned from his hissy fit about losing his starting job.......Jesus, if you just extended the guy and he has A hissy fit, thus showing him the door, imagine if the purported Antonio Brown deal went through??..............is the brass a bit testy?......

Biden dismisses record economic growth as not 'nearly enough' to dig out of 'deep' recession
Trump campaign says president is 'rapidly' rebuilding 'world's best economy'
Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden dismissed the U.S. economy's record-shattering growth as not "nearly enough" to get the country out of a "deep hole" on Thursday.
"This report underscores three inescapable truths about Donald Trump’s economy: we are in a deep hole and President Trump’s failure to act has meant that Q3 growth wasn’t nearly enough to get us out of; the recovery is slowing if not stalling; and the recovery that is happening is helping those at the top, but leaving tens of millions of working families and small businesses behind," Biden said in a statement.
Gross domestic product, the broadest measure of goods and services produced across the economy, surged by 33.1% on an annualized basis in the three-month period from July through September, the Commerce Department said in its first reading of the data Thursday. The previous post-World War II record was a 16.7% increase in 1950.
The economy had contracted at an annual revised rate of 31.4% in the previous quarter, the sharpest decline in modern American history, and the economy remains 3.5% smaller than at the end of 2019.
The GDP data, released Thursday morning, was one of the last major economic indicators to come out ahead of Election Day on Tuesday. Another key indicator, weekly unemployment claims, showed that the number of Americans filing for claims fell under 800,000 for the first time since March.
More than 65 million Americans ‒ roughly 40% of the nation's labor force ‒ have sought jobless aid since the coronavirus lockdowns began in mid-March.

The issue should be whether the vote was SUBMITTED or OPENED after the deadline. The exact same principle applies to public contract bidding all over America. You have to submit your sealed bid PRIOR TO the exact time and date. However, when the Agency chooses to OPEN the bids is somewhat up to the Agency, so long as they’re opened ‘in public’.
...good call...we are in the competitive bid arena for construction......5 seconds late and you're SOL with no exceptions.....

Joe Biden calls son Hunter 'smartest guy I know' amid questions over business dealings
Biden made the remarks at an online event hosted by Oprah Winfrey
Democratic nominee Joe Biden on Wednesday described his son Hunter as “the smartest guy I know” -- amid growing questions about the former vice president's alleged ties to his son’s business dealings.
Biden made the remarks during an online event hosted by Oprah Winfrey, in which he retold how he went home and gathered with his family when then-nominee Barack Obama asked him to be his running mate in 2008.
“So I got off the train, went home, true story. And we sat down the back and I had my deceased son Beau, who was then the Attorney General of the state of Delaware. And I had my son. Hunter, is the smartest guy I know,” he said. “My daughter who is a social worker. And my and the whole family was there. And we sat in the back porch ..."
Questions about Hunter’s business dealings, and his father’s alleged role in them, have been growing since the discovery of emails on a laptop purportedly belonging to Hunter, and claims by Hunter's former business associate that he met with the elder Biden in 2017.

Maybe they did. I am all for more mental health counseling and more professionals and earlier intervention. as I said above if I'm the policeman and a guy is running at me with a knife I don't have much choice. Tasers? Shoot lower ? I would like to hear from professional law officers as to how that might occur.
As for it affecting the election, dream on. There aren't many minds that aren't made up and Trump is losing. Every night he goes on TV dismissing his own health officials advice on Covid and putting people in harm's way reminds voters just how terrible a job he's done. He's going down, and nothing is going to change that now.
...the virtual blind eye and reduction in mental hygiene assistance was the first step on a VERY slippery slope.......gathering steam as the ball rolls downhill clearly illustrates a bad, bad decision......only to GET WORSE......care to be a $15.00/hr social worker to have to deal with it?.......

The priorities are the same regardless of who wins.
In no particular order
1. Cut fed spending and reduce budget deficits, this includes serious entitlement revisions and might include some tax increases
2. End decades of illegal immigration. Right-size legal immigration and plug the problems at borders and visa over stays
3. End Obamacare, it simply didn't deliver what was promised and is not worth defending. Get into the nuts and bolts of health insurance and put new regs and rules in place that allow for more choice, health spending accounts for all and favorable tax treatment for all. Revise Medicaid to reduce the rate of cost increase.
4. Continue peace progress in Middle East started by Trump and fully exit Iraq and Afganistan. Reduce Chinese manufacturing dependence and continue tough stance on China and include China's poor environmental record.
5. Continue economic development efforts in areas in poor economic condition
6. Clean up 2016 domestic/government election interference and keep anyone involved in this fiasco from last Obama Admin out of government service. Prosecute wrondoers.
7. Make clear what are state and fed responsibilities and keep fed out of state and local issues. Example, states that run university programs should find their own ways to reduce college expenses for their citizens.
8. Tell populace that race relations are the responsibility of the people. Fed gov to continue to enforce laws in this area but beyond that it's up to the people.
9. Get fed gov out of exclusive college loan business and return it back to private sector and to the state university systems. Continue some fed grant programs.
nice job composing the list and I think he's done well......it exposes the TDS sufferers who cannot agree with at least ONE on your list as an accomplishment......as expected though....the hatred for the PERSON versus POLICIES runs that deep......there are a few (COUGH....AGAIN) on PPP.............

What's so "weird" and "vague" about it? There are currently 6 (and again some would say 5) conservative judges out of 9. You and add 4 liberal judges and expand the SC to 13 and it becomes at-worst (for liberals) 7-6. You're under the assumption0( or something else) that, for people for whom having a conservative SCJ is an important issue, the Dems doing this if they gain control isn't an issue. And again, Joe and Kammy dodging the issue only proves that that's what they're going to try to do.
...so why is there now an automatic need to expand the Court?......is this alleged need the same as the need (COUGH) to abolish the Electoral College?.......
