I’ve been really impressed by Mariota tonight.

Horrendous throw by Mariota getting Agholor laid out.

I just can’t see this happening without a massive revolt of a very large percentage of the population.

I don’t even mind missing out on the first round bye. As long as they can rest the starters in week 17. Make it like a preseason game.

I’m not sure about that. The NHL has a lottery system and its horrendous. I guess the NFL could devise a better way to handle it. But given the choice between an NHL type lottery or the NFL’s system, I take the NFL all day.

I like the sound of that. I also don’t see them winning another game. Hopefully the Jets can steal a victory somewhere.

Anyone know who has the tiebreaker between the Jets and Jaguars? If the Jets would get 2nd overall and it comes down to that last game, I wouldn’t put it past Bill to actually give the Jets a chance to win.

This is Buffalo, in the WINTER. Everyone has ten layers of clothes on and balaclava’s. Seems like it would be safe, no?

Oh good, Jac Colinsworth. The guy who is completely qualified for his job and definitely didn’t get it because of his father.

Absolutely. Imagine how annoying it would be as a Pitt fan when it’s not working.

Did Bass miss that one? Or was it a “miss” again

I haven’t felt this frustrated during a game in a while

I think Doug Pederson is a horrendous coach. They should have kept Reich.

The 9-3 Browns

The Jets are the worst football team I’ve ever seen

Seattle over the Jets or Tennessee over Jacksonville today? I’m heavily leaning Tenn over Jacksonville due to future value. I don’t see myself loving picking the Titans in the coming weeks. I can see myself taking Seattle.

I also liked that proposal very much. They could tie it into the stimulus bill they already plan on working on. I thought it was a very clever idea when I saw it. You’d get 90+% compliance nearly overnight.

Heading in the right direction then at least. I also wonder how many people will actually make a doctors appointment and go in for these two shots. It’s one thing to say you will, but people are also inherently lazy and, as we have seen, quite selfish.

I’d say the bigger hold up is that the bulk of the population doesn’t seem to want it, more so than vaccine availability. Latest poll numbers I’ve seen show a 50/50 split and that number has done nothing but drop over the months of this pandemic. I’m not sure how much a public education campaign can help, but that’s where the feds and local DOH are certainly going to need to start.

This seems like comparing apples and oranges to me. Eliminating all student debt right now hurts far more people than it helps. It isn’t like social security where there is a benefit now and in the future. A true comparison would be if the social security system gave money only to retirees retiring during that year it was enacted. That’s why student loan forgiveness is fine, but it has to accompany something that will actually fix the overall problem. Even if it were eliminate all student loan debt and make college free for everyone, that fixes the problem. Especially since the government could then control costs as the single payer. Not saying that’s the way it should go, but simply eliminating all student loan debt does absolutely nothing to abate the problem long term.

I’ve been saying for years I think it would be the biggest stimulus in history. Putting aside the morality of it, it would cause a massive spending boon and a humongous influx of suddenly disposable income.

No, that wouldn’t be part of loan forgiveness. As far as I know, the government can’t make private companies forego their loans. Only federally held student loans would be forgiven under any likely congressional plan. This is precisely why, IMO, student loan forgiveness isn’t the “miracle pill” that it’s made out to be. It’s more of a bandaid solution than a true solution. If it accompanies far reaching changes in the education system then it would be far more logical. But you will just be in this same situation in another 30 years, likely a worse situation. All this will do is ensure the cost of college continues to rise at an exorbitant rate.

These disputes anger me to no end. Million dollar companies arguing with million dollar companies. I’m waiting for the streaming service who advertises “no channel disputes, ever”. Directv always seems to have issues. I know they have lost channel 4 a few times.

They would have to adapt, but they would be fine. They have many loans they are currently servicing. Each of those are paying them a decent bit of interest. Plus, it seems they have at least somewhat saw the writing in the wall. They have constantly been diversifying away from student loans.
