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.

Fuuuuuu..... C'mon Singletary.

The kid has the nerves and decision-making of a vet. I have not watched a lot of him - impressed so far.

Not sure, but thought I saw Josh telling Williams something before that last play. Wonder if he was telling him you are going to have to block Bosa on your own for more than a 1/2 second for this play... I think they are going to have to keep one TE in to help on Bosa - he is getting way too much pressure on Allen.

Anthony Lynn has done a great job rebuilding this Charger roster. This is a good young team that just needs to clean up some mistakes and fill a few holes. They will be competitive.

And they keep pushing the misinformation that the cult of Trump keep desperately parroting. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2020/11/28/fact-check-pennsylvania-ballot-claim-mixes-primary-general-election-data/6450032002/

Dinking and dunking down the field...

For all the effort coaches make to hide their play sheet like a hand of cards - they pan to the booth with Daboll and there are his play sheets laying in front of him on the camera. Just thought it was interesting camera shot.... time to rename all of those.

Never been a fan of the Allen sweep. They shelved it after Allen got rocked a number of times and coughed up the ball on a few. Too slow to develop, the blocking is always suspect. So they spent the bye figuring out a way to go back to that?

Yeah, that challenge was shut down with prejudice - the judicial way of saying..."and don't come back with this weakness again". "But Trump refused to see it that way. Sequestered in the White House and brooding out of public view after his election defeat, rageful and at times delirious in a torrent of private conversations, Trump was, in the telling of one close adviser, like “Mad King George, muttering, ‘I won. I won. I won.’ ” https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trump-election-overturn/2020/11/28/34f45226-2f47-11eb-96c2-aac3f162215d_story.html

It is a fallacy to think removing regulations improve services and lower costs. Upon becoming FCC chairman in April 2017 as part of the Trump Administration, Ajit Pai proposed to repeal the neutrality policies, returning to the previous classification of ISPs as Title I services. The draft of the proposed repeal, published in May 2017, led to over 20 million comments to the FCC. Despite a majority of these favoring retaining the 2015 Open Internet Order, the FCC still voted in favor of repealing the Order, which went into effect in June 2018 despite efforts in Congress to stay the repeal. Still, telecommunication companies spent big to have lawmakers look the other way on its data caps. In 2015, Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.) and Rep. Fred Upton (R-Mich.) proposed a net neutrality bill but did not include data caps in the legislation. The telecom service industry was one of Thune’s top donors in the 2016 election cycle. Thune received more than $225,000 from the industry. Employees of AT&T, Verizon Inc. and Comcast were among the top contributors to Thune’s campaign committee and leadership PAC. They also collectively donated more than $70,000 to Upton’s campaign committee and leadership PAC that cycle. Also in 2015, Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) introduced the No Rate Regulation of Broadband Internet Access Act, which prohibited the FCC from regulating the rates charged for broadband internet access service. The bill passed the House but was lost in the Senate. Over the course of Kinzinger’s career, employees of AT&T gave $56,500 and affiliates of Comcast gave $55,250. The industry, consisting largely of internet service providers, spent more than $89.8 million on lobbying in 2015. Comcast and primary broadband trade association The Internet & Television Association (NCTA) were the top lobbying spenders in the industry. In that year, Comcast spent $15.5 million while the NCTA spent $14.1 million. Traditionally, the industry’s federal political giving is similar across both sides of the aisle. So far this cycle, Democrats received over $4.6 million in donations while Republicans received more than $4.2 million. The temporary lift of data caps has tech critics hopeful that this will be a permanent change for consumers. I know this Pai character at the FCC is a trickle-down economics adherent, with dubious ideas of how lifting regulations will result in cheaper, better service. I have yet to see that happen in practice. After businesses pass deregulation bills they almost always end up putting the squeeze on consumers and rather than invest in infra or create jobs they pocket the profits. There is a reason they lobby so hard for deregulation - it is not altruism it is to allow unfettered gouging and profits.

Actually it was regulations pushed through by Democrats and a few moderate Republicans that kept the Corporate greed of broadband carriers in check. Lifting regulations is what leads to unchecked Corporate greed aka Enron, etc... It is a GOP SOP as bad as Dems tossing money at social issues like magic fairy dust. It is dumb to label those very brakes that keep some bit of coin in our pockets instead of helping very wealthy companies gouge folks for more. Not sure this example qualifies as "Socialism" you may want to look that word up. https://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-net-neutrality-fcc-20171214-story.html

Brilliant, you have a graph. 1st there is no nation-wide mask mandate, it is a recommendation that individial idiots may not follow and enforcement varies from state to state and in the case of KS the home of this study enforcement varies county to county. The CDC info on KS mask wearing efficacy: The governor of Kansas issued an executive order requiring wearing masks in public spaces, effective July 3, 2020, which was subject to county authority to opt out. After July 3, COVID-19 incidence decreased in 24 counties with mask mandates but continued to increase in 81 counties without mask mandates. der-t-der flat earthers... it is not like the science around viruses and how they can be transmitted is a new thing. Wearing a mask and social distancing cuts down on transmission. Those are just the facts.

A well thought out post, the only thing I would add is that impeachment proceedings only give Congress two powers: 1. To remove a sitting President from office. 2. To prevent the removed President from holding public office again. I think any impeachment articles brought against a former President would be an attempt to firewall public office from that individual. It would be somewhat uncharted territory. There are provisions in article II requiring just a majority Senate vote rather than the two-thirds majority for removal, but my sense is that such an act could be appealed and could end up before the Supreme Court where it would get really interesting if Kavanaugh and Barret have to recuse themselves. From Justia site: Unlike removal, disqualification from office is a discretionary judgment, and there is no explicit constitutional linkage to the two-thirds vote on conviction. Although an argument can be made that disqualification should nonetheless require a two-thirds vote,855 the Senate has determined that disqualification may be accomplished by a simple majority vote.856

Sounds like you connected conspiring and obstruction to a federal crime....

Well, this is where reading a tweet from Trump as if it were fact, or accepting a conclusion from career political-fixer Barr is not the same as the truth. When Trump tweets massive voting fraud, yet no such thing is provable in court with evidence, it is an established pattern of using his Twitter bully pulpit to forward falsehoods. That is why he hates it when they get labeled as such with such frequency. Get the Mueller obstruction facts: https://www.factcheck.org/2019/04/what-the-mueller-report-says-about-obstruction/

...and yet a GOP-led muck-raking investigation found nada on Joe. And unlike criminal activities linked to Trump Org that he and his whole clan can be tied to, Hunter's business does not have any ties or board positions his dad occupies. I have read the 87 page Senate report and it does show that Hunter has done business with some shady people around the globe. Shame on Hunter. Yet all that digging came up with was awkward and potential conflict of interests for Joe Biden in his government role, but he and his staff went to overt lengths to keep dealings separate. This does mean that if his son is ever found guilty of a crime, Joe will have to recuse himself. I am not a particular fan of Hunter, but the Chinese links are particularly weak. If anyone has a Asia Pac mutual fund you likely have ties to Chinese businesses, if you have ties to a Chinese business you have ties to their government as business is not separated from government in China. Hence the Huawei 5g backlash around the globe. Since China is a global economic power, finding such a connection is not an amazing investigative conclusion regardless of how much money invested.

I expect sophistry and ignorance about how the law works. Conspiring to commit a crime is a crime. A criminal conspiracy exists when two or more people agree to commit almost any unlawful act, then take some action toward its completion. The action taken need not itself be a crime, but it must indicate that those involved in the conspiracy knew of the plan and intended to break the law. So too is obstructing a lawful investigation into the same..

Hogwash... an utterly ridiculous attempt to rewrite history. Yeah, Biden's career is just littered with litigation from Porn stars paid to keep quiet. Just search the number of lawsuits Trump has been involved in prior to 2016 - list them in a reply. Then search and list Biden lawsuits. Actual suits brought before a court requiring evidence, not the conspiracy nonsense like claims of election fraud that shrivel up and die in the light of the courtroom. Somewhere you got lost and assumed I like the Clintons, so whatever.

I am mildly, but only mildly curious why you try to play folks. You have claimed in posts to be a moderate democrat, but you use quotes from the Q-Anon bible and it's Trump messiah. Then try to pose as being logical and reasonable to keep stirring the pot. Your comments are in no way indicative of a moderate take on politics and laughably not democratic. Unlike Trump supporters I have found most of the folks here that opposed the man to be far less gullible to this kind of nonsense. We do play along to see if there is a chance that someone is open to reassessing their position, but your compass consistently lurches back to your true North - unyielding Trump worship and conspiracy adherence.

Yeah it was in a preseason game against late drafted and undrafted players and FA walk-ons, but he did make them look like they were all standing still. I wonder if the Bills have timed his 40?

Had posted incorrect information about Dallas strength and conditioning coach passing away due to Covid - was non-Covid related. Was reading the article on my phone and misread it. Was going to delete my OP, but believe Hapless beat me to it - with prejudice so I am guessing he has had to correct a few folks who have been misreporting this. Sorry Hap - on my laptop now and clear as day they were stressing NON-Covid symptoms.

If you read the article, the point of finding him guilty of obstruction - he clearly was if one just looks at his tweets and public threats towards and retaliation against witnesses, would be to prevent future El Presidentes being investigated for crimes from using obstruction as an established lawful precedent. Trump supporters seem fine with his tampering and threatening witnesses, ignoring congressional subpoenas and instructing others to do so, with his retaliation against witnesses, NOW imagine a democrat like Obama doing the same thing to a GOP-led Congressional investigation. The knife cuts both ways. Do you really think the office of the Presidency should be above all laws and beyond investigation when Congress believes laws may have been broken? Not a good thing for democracy.
