The weird keeps getting weirder. So Sidney Powell sues Republicans BRIAN KEMP; BRAD RAFFENSPERGER; DAVID J. WORLEY; REBECCA N. SULLIVAN; MATTHEW MASHBURN; and ANH LE, for Election fraud and wants the vote counting machines to be forensically examined. Captain Ahab would be proud of this fishing expedition. What I like is the fact that they claim the vote counts are fraudulent and inaccurate yet seek an order requiring Gov. Kemp to transmit certified election results that state Trump is the winner - huh? Georgia did a laborious hand recount and that was not enough to satisfy the Trump cult. They now want a machine recount, but do not trust the machines, and that is not enough, they want the machines to be examined by GOP experts. Of course election workers at the county were like, "what do you want us to do??" and began resetting the machines to "0" so they could begin the machine-based recount, but Sidney Powell files an injunction to stop resetting machines and preserve the prior data - I am guessing preserving original ballot totals in the machines....all this seems designed to try to prevent electors from certifying and casting the GA votes for Biden. A judge steps in and at first issues the injunction to preserve the voting machines, then reverses the injunction on the grounds that Sidney Powell did not have valid defendants listed (should have the election boards from counties in question - assuming just those Trump lost), then later he reissued an injunction. Meanwhile all those recount poll workers are in a holding pattern while this farce plays out.

And the fleecing of the vulnerable continues on down to the Jan 20 eviction date. And I cannot fault Trump for saying the Aliens stole the election and having folks not only buy that, but send him money too. There is a sucker born every day. https://www.chicagotribune.com/suburbs/post-tribune/opinion/ct-ptb-davich-waiting-for-trump-tornado-to-blow-past-st-1130-20201127-ta3sxxgiyzapjogojnx2ylkymm-story.html

Trump goes all Emperor on reporter - and the gradual slide into monarchical madness continues. I stayed away from this over Thanksgiving to give myself a break, but these are just priceless moments with his rant about his title and his tiny desk... One of the funnier Twitter responses: "I’ll always remember this as the day Donald Trump sat at a child’s desk on Thanksgiving and yelled 'Don’t talk to me that way, I’m the President of the United States' and then after everyone made fun of him for it he threatened to outlaw Twitter because he’s a joke and he lost."

Just edited my post Shaw and included that I did agree that he was throwing off his back foot with poor form, but just that there are so many times he has to throw off platform because of rushers coming free and makes those throws, it is hard to fault him when they don't have enough on them to get there. All in all I think he is taking less of those chances that are really bad, but has not exercised those demons entirely. I can see your point - and the other usual suspects

We can agree to disagree. Allen rarely throws a ball that wobbles that badly. I don't lean towards making excuses for Allen making bad throws or bad reads, but if your arm is hit on the forward throwing motion, it does throw off a pass. If anything I will say that it was off platform as he was getting pushed and threw off his back foot, but he makes so many of those off platform completions after protection breaks down it is hard to fault him for those that don't get there. Just my take.

Just wow. So taking advantage of the dumb and gullible in their base, they lie and promote election conspiracies that have effectively circled around and basically ran their own party over. "Y'all told us that elections are rigged, and voting machines (that flipped several democrat seats to GOP seats) are rigged, and the deep state has control of the en-tar thang. Trump and his team of experts told us that the DOJ, FBI, the World Bank, the Illuminati, and dead leaders are controlling the elections why should we bother????". A very logical question - why should they bother Donald? They should just stay home, or better yet pencil in Trump's name instead of an actual GOP senator who is on the ticket - because that'll show them. The poetic irony of this is just so awesome.

In general the GOP rhetoric is pretty stagnant and unchanged, but it comfortably works for the Southern belt. Dems should toss out the far left non-sense because it just does not play across much of the South and focus on moderate policies a majority of folks can generally get behind: Reducing the rampant government spending under the GOP - Fed deficit went from 17 trillion to something like 28 trillion which set a record as it is larger than our entire economy. Job creation: Rather than random trade deals and wars that lack any balance, create strategic trade deals that help strengthen our partnerships with the right nations, and protect our economic interests at home from those that exploit and flood markets (China). Reducing healthcare costs Improve education Police reform that focuses on healing our nation. No blame game, just common-sense focus on rewarding and promoting those with integrity, embracing diversity and community outreach/partnerships, transparency, and policies that move towards restraint and justice to restore trust; Not the defund non-sense from the AOC crowd, but certainly there are times you have to tear something down to rebuild it right and it would be hard to argue that there are some departments that run like their own fiefdoms where the rot runs deep. I like to believe there is a silent majority of men and women in blue trying to do the right thing. Avoid morally divisive topics that the GOP has used to divide the nation - these have more to do about belief systems than concrete government policy so they are good hot-button fear-generating topics, but not really productive in the sense of policies or arguments (abortion, social welfare programs - the socialism boogeyman, and even climate change) these have all been demonized to the point where they cannot be discussed rationally.

It was - Bosa again... I think. Either way someone on the defensive line knocked Allen's arm during his release and on the slow-mo replay you could see this wobbly duck kind of ball fall short of his target. The Bolts have a good 1Tech DT or DTs (wasn't watching rotation) who was getting a lot of push and consistently occupying CG combos freeing up their other DTs and Bosa. They have a pretty good front and did not give Allen a ton of time to wait for deep routes to open up. Not much Allen could do about that one pass - I was fuming at Allen as we were giving the ball back AGAIN till I saw the replay.

We had a line of players deep, and then allowed the taller Bolts receiver to obtain a better position in front of them to high-point the ball. Did the same thing on the other "rare" hail Mary completion. It is a bad scheme. The Bills need guys deep and some guys who can high-point shallow bracketing the receiver - not a whole group standing behind the other team's best jump ball player. Then stop trying to catch the damn thing - knock it down, knock it down, knock it down. OR if they are not going to execute it correctly just use a deep zone and rush 5 to get to the QB keep everything in front and in the middle.

The Bolts were getting to Allen with 4 rushers. They played off Davis and Allen may want to look his way as his first read more often for quick come-back routes. Played mostly 2-deep zone with a mix of man, double, and sometimes 3 dbs around Diggs. Even on the short dumps to Diggs there would be a gang of Bolts on him immediately. One time I saw Allen talk to Winters after they broke the huddle. I can only speculate that he was telling him he needed to hold his block a bit longer for that play, but Winters was solo against Bosa on that play and Allen was holding it looking for the deep crosser. Bosa beat Winters and he sacked Allen from behind. This is why the deep stuff is not there especially against teams with solid fronts that can have more coverage options deep.

I thought they were sloppy on offense today. Obviously need to do a better job protecting the ball and the o-line was getting schooled in pass pro. Bosa does not look like all that to me - kind've lanky, but freakish athlete, and obviously strong. Knox had his usual up and down game, the down was the terrible blocking. Missed our other TEs. Surprised how many plays Dabol had where Knox had to block Bosa, or where they only had Winters on him, or left him unblocked. That's the kind of dude you put two guys on, or chip with your RB, or game plan something to take him out of the equation. I was frustrated with the Singletary fumble as we were finally doing what really good teams do to close out games. The o line was blocking with attitude, and Devin was ripping off chunks of yardage, the clock was running, we are driving to the end zone to put the nail in the coffin, and then the ball gets punched out from behind. Leslie just needs to throw out his hail Mary defense and just bring normal pressure. That defensive play is suck. Rocky ending, but defense played strong and we won. I'll take it.

Titan's Henry over 170 yards on the ground. That guy is a beast.

He has got a really young team with a lot of talent. They clean up the sideline communication they will be pretty competitive. Not sure if Lynn was ever qualified for a HC position, made a better coordinator. But the Chargers personnel folks did a really good job filling out their roster.

Wallace cannot tackle a guy in bounds with a 5 yard spot - that guy needs to tackling 101 drills

Herbert getting too much time too.... defensive line needs to keep getting the hands up as he is just dinking and dunking so there is not much height on his throws. Should be able to knock a few more down.

What is this touch football - I feel like the refs are inserting themselves too much into keeping this Bills long drives to a minimum. Not sure all these bizarre personal fouls on guys just dropping the ball or cleanly blocking????

Allen's arm was hit and that ball was wobbling in the replay, but still WTF. 3 consecutive turnovers.

They must want to lose this game.

Protect the damn ball this time.

Can we not just run out the damn clock in a game. Execute the plays - there is this weird desperation on our offense that makes no sense at the 2nd half of games.

Klein plays much better at the LOS, but when out in space playing zone he struggles.

I think Tre was fine because Herbert was outside the tackles, it was Oliver coming in after the ball left and cleaning his clock. I have honestly seen Allen take more than a few of those hits and nada, but there seems to be a somewhat different rule book for Allen as he is hard to take down and will try to make a play while in the grasp.

Oliver makes a play.

Hence protecting the ball = playing at a high level

This team just cannot perform at a high level in the 2nd half of games. Just keep the chains moving that is all you have to do with a lead.
