Yes, unfortunately your grandfather was lying to you if he told you he was born in the country of Palestine.

The Ottoman Empire? Palestine was never a country to be taken. The name itself refers to the land that the Philistines used to live in. It was a geographical region, like the mid-west, governed by the Ottoman Empire for 800 years until they lost World War I. The land that consisted of the region of Palestine became Jordan, Lebanon and parts of Syria and Iraq. The very notion of a "Palestinian" people was born out the the muslim refusal to accept a sovereign Israel. They claimed all of the land that comprises Israel, and the Palestinian identity emerged in opposition to Israel. Individual Arabs that now identify as Palestinians had their land taken, as a result of their attempt to destroy Israel. But they had no country to take. Let's be real. 90% of Palestine was turned into four different Arab states. Then the world demanded the remaining 10% be split into two states. Had the so called Palestinians accepted a two state solution in 1948 they would have a country of their own today. If they had accepted a two state solution in 1967 they would have a country of their own today. The same could be said of the 1970's, 80's, 90's and 2000's. The truth is they don't want peace. What they want is all of Israel to be theirs. What would I do if I was born there in the 1970's and may family had their home taken because they launched a war against Israel 10 years earlier and then continued global terror attacks for decades? I would have tried my best to get the f out of such a backwards, violent, hate filled hell hole. Edit: let me ask you a question. Why is it that none of the people criticizing Israel for their response are demanding Hamas release the hostages?

Mistakes in the past? Missteps? That's what you call invading a nation in 1948? Ok. But then invading them again in 1967? Fool me once... Then the 70's were a decade of Palestinian global terror. The Munich Olympic massacre. Murdering full school buses of children. How many plane hijackings? Then resorting to mass suicide bombings throughout the 1980's and 90's targeting weddings, schools and women in the street? And now sending 5000 soldiers to target and murder as many civilians as possible? This wouldn't be happening today if Gaza's government didn't commit mass murder against women, children and the elderly last week. They wouldn't be in an "open air prison" for the last 15 years if they hadn't elected a terrorist organization to run Gaza. They wouldn't have been occupied in Gaza before that if they hadn't launched decades of suicide bombings and global terror attacks. What is it about the action of the Palestinians tells you that they actually want peace? Because everything about their actions show me they want death.

Turns out Trump was right about the radical left. And now they are calling for Israel to be wiped off the map "from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free." 750,000 Palestinians driven from their own lands in 1948, when their people and five additional nations invaded Israel to bring about its destruction. Don't forget, they became refugees when they tried to wipe Israel off the map the moment it was recognized as a nation.

Alternatively, I've wondered the same thing about Leonard Floyd.

You do realize that the reason Israel created the world's largest open air prison is because the people of Gaza voted in a terrorist organization to run their government? An organization with a Constitution proclaiming the total destruction of Israel and the death of the Jews? If you had a neighbor who's central mission was to kill your entire family and take all of your property, don't you think building a wall around them to keep them in would be wise? The pro Palestine demonstrations on the streets throughout our cities have been shouting "from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free." That means they are calling for the total destruction of Israel. Erasing it from the map from the Jordan river to the Mediterranean. And they add a line about drowning all of the Jews in the sea... This is an age old statement, but its as true now as ever. If the Palestinians laid down their weapons today, there would be peace tomorrow. If the Israeli's laid down their weapons today, Israel would be destroyed tomorrow.

Could have fooled me.

Gaza shares a border with Egypt. Why won't their Muslim brothers take them in?

Hamas's charter says they will not negotiate a settled peace with Israel. And their stated goal is the death of every jew and the destruction of Israel as a nation. Demanding that Israel negotiate a two state solution with such a political entity is the definition of insanity. And these types of attacks nothing new. They've used a long standing strategy to provoke Israel into attacking Hamas targets with the hopes of Israel killing as many Palestinian civilians as possible. They literally want to sacrifice enough dead Palestinian civilians that the world will turn against Israel and give them enough support to destroy Israel as a nation. These are not poor oppressed people acting out of decades of frustration. This is a murderous evil force intentionally bringing death and destruction on their own people with the hopes of gaining enough support so that they can once and for all destroy Israel and kill all of the Jews.

I don't think Bryant is signed anywhere right now.

He didn't say Prescott is a tier 4 QB. He said the 49ers defense made him look like one. Which, if you were watching that game, isn't a lie.

He could have been cleared, and then had concussion symptoms pop up after the game.

Yeah, but he may not have slept in 4 or 5 days. Perhaps it's a delirium signing?

Stop it. What's Nate Odoms up to these days?

Latavious Murray is going to play Right Right Tackle. He might still be in London, eh?

I like Cook running off tackle and on stretch plays. And if he's going to run up the gut I still prefer it to be from under center. But all of that aside, the passing game works so much better with play action from under center than any other formation. We didn't need to run the ball 25 times with our backs, but 25 plays from under center with 10 runs and 15 passes would have completely altered the game.

It's not that we couldn't run the ball. It's that we didn't try to run the ball, expect for shotgun draws. Not one run from under center with Cook. Maybe one or two all game?

And first play under center he went play action to Diggs for a huge gain. Then went right back to shotgun spread and the drive fizzled.

No thanks.

James Cook didn't get to take 2 steps, let alone three steps to get to full speed when he caught the shotgun pitch on 2nd and 2 and lost five yards. You're full of it by calling offensive lineman elite athletes. They're all over 300 pounds, and definitely lose leverage in the run game when not in their 3 point stance. As for the multiple shotgun draws, I would have loved to see Cook get 5-7 off tackle runs from under center. Whether I form, single back ace, 12, 13... all the stuff that helped us dominate time of possession the last three weeks. We reverted to the game plan against the Jets, and it killed us. In any event, Josh Allen was nearly perfect out of play action today. Good thing we didn't do more of that!

Good for Taron speaking up.

Yeah, it certainly has for the Bills. So has the passing game from under center. When you're running from under center the lineman have their hands in the dirt and fire out on the snap. The running back gets a head of steam at the snap of the ball. Running out of shotgun, your lineman are crouched as if to pass block. They are at more of a disadvantage as far as establishing leverage and speed off the ball. You can also attack the edge with the running back at speed from under center. Which is Cook's strength. Instead our #1 back only got 5 total carries, all out of shotgun. Only one run attacking the edge on a slow developing pitch where was was basically standing still when he got the ball. And the line let two unblocked defenders blow past to make a momentum shifting tfl... And don't get me started on how much better the Bills throw the ball out of play action from under center... and how effect the RPO roll outs are from under center... The play calling and play designed sucked.

I don't think Dorsey adjusted to what the Jags were doing late in the game. I think their defense went into a softer bend don't break mode. As bad as the drops were, the bigger problem was the predicable paly design and refusal to run from under center. Most of the first half was the same spread offense that just let them bracket the wide receivers and force Josh to dump down. The very few plays they went under center were wildly successful. Not sure if they ran two consecutive plays from under center all game. The entirely of the run game consistent of flat footed delayed hand offs up the gut out of shotgun. Cook's strength is his speed, yet the Bills offense refused to run off tackle and stretch their defense horizontally with Cook's speed.

Did James Cook get a single carry from under center? A single rush off tackle from under center?

Cook is very good at running off tackle and stretch plays. I don't think they tried to run outside once, and I don't think Cook got a single hand off from under center. It was all shotgun runs handing the ball to the RB flat footed.
