    Link works now.

     

    Great find, goes into some of the nuances of route running that Brown gave us and Davis just doesn't (yet). 

     

    But he obviously picked up a TON during the season, so hopefully he'll take a step!

    Yup, this up coming season is going to be a big deal for Gabe Davis, now that the rest of the league knows he is a real threat in the passing game, from what I’ve read and seen of Davis I believe he is up to the task.

    I'm not gonna harp on this but Janine wrote a piece a while back describing some behavior in a restaurant when he was off medication for the purpose of diagnosis, and from what was described, it sounded as though it was edging pretty close to that latter.  That he didn't tweet anymore because he struggled to put words together, struggled to understand why he could or couldn't do certain things, just a bunch of routine daily stuff that were becoming too hard for him.  His younger daughter also wrote about it a couple times - that her dad could still fix anything, fix her car, but he kept going inside and up 3 flights to her apartment for tools because he didn't think of the obvious solution of carrying the small toolbox down to the car.  You can look it up if you want. 

     

    The point isn't that bad social behavior should be tolerated, it's that someone who has mental problems that lead (as one symptom) to inability to understand/accept social rules therefore acting out in public isn't able to stop doing that out of some gratitude for prior financial assistance.

    Then he needs to be supervised when out in public so that he does not harm himself or others.

    The WFT doesn’t deserve Fitz. Trash organization

    They certainly have been, and with the Snyde running the show, will likely continue to be, Ron Rivera can only do so much, but having Snyder’s behavior undermining your efforts...

    you are right! Completely forgot about Drew Bledsoe!!! 

    That’s easy to do...

    First of all we don't know it's Talley

    Talley's wife Janine has also posted about mental changes including irrational, aggressive behavior that is linked to his (believed) CTE dementia, especially if for one or another reason he's "off his meds"

     

    The fans came to his aid because the man was mentally hampered and had made bad decisions

    Being mentally hampered doesn't only show up in sweet, nicely packaged for feel-good consumption ways. 

    Sorry it doesn't give you the feels.

     

    It's going to be rough on his family. 

     

    Edit: I don't mean just this video, but that in general, we don't have good ways to deal with mental problems any more than with addiction.

    I will admit that I am making some assumptions here, but where do we as a society draw the line on obvious bad social behavior? Is he so cognitively incompetent that he can’t he can’t be trusted to be out in public unsupervised? Likely not, so.... 

  5. Some folk are just really  stupid when it comes to doing life’s normal stuff, in this case he self creates a situation that shows him as a willfully ignorant/stupid person, that has evidently no respect/concern for others, this behavior, after his teams fans financially coming to his aid to help him not that many years ago..., mental health issues or not it’s not excusable.

    But I think it has pretty much always been that way. Overdorf just does what he is told.

    Ah yes, but it was those instructions that he was given back in the dark times, I am certain that Overdorf has the appropriate skill set to do what he is told to do, and does it well, otherwise he would have been waived... 😁

    Nah. I think fans just want to see the team make an attempt to take the next step in improving the team and winning a SB. Depth signings and relying on the draft isn’t going to accomplish that, IMO. Hopeful they can pull out a move to really bolster the team and close the gap between them and the Chiefs.

    Have some faith in a GM & HC team that have taken the team from being an out and out laughingstock to a powerhouse in short order, There is a contingent of fans that post here that would openly complain about winning it all, because we traded Sammy Watkins years ago... 😂

    Yea.... at times this group can be too damn conservative. Gotta be aggressive and take some risks if they want to win it all. 

    Yup, and be a middling team for several seasons after the cap comes due, 

     

    Folk seemingly don’t understand the concept of being a perennial contender, I wonder how many more times and how many more ways Beane has to say this for folk to realize what’s happening at OBD..,

    part of the song of Don
    "set yourself free" is the chorus
     and why he has to try so many ways to leave his lover

    sneak out the back jack etc

    The future. Not 2021. I vote we still need Wallace as #2

     Dane Jackson needs a real offseason and then some yet. Sorry for poor wording

    I do know that was the chorus, I claim old guy memory syndrome, as my defense for the rest of it 😁

    I'm not necessarily saying he isn't deserving of a second chance.  I'm simply saying I can't see Kim Pegula giving one to him.

    I hear ya, If I’m a woman in a position of power, I’m not likely to hire this guy if he hasn’t repented in a very obvious way, and shown himself to have changed his behavior over a notable period of time, and even then I would be hesitant to hire him. 

  11. Mostly it was run play schemes, and that our best O line combination was never on the field together at any point of the season, that and with Spain being an azs when it came to doing his job, and getting himself fired,  these facts fit very well with Beane’s remarks in the end of season PC, it really is not so complicated as to why our run game regressed from the previous season, all ya gotta do is look at what changed one year to the next, and the answer becomes apparent.
