The guy that was almost shot in the same way Charlie was.
Extreme takes to liberals are saying there are only 2 genders.
We can’t coexist with that.
Most "liberals" don't believe in the one issue you want to target. As much as you want that to be the case. Most republicans don't believe in removing access to abortions. Yet here were are withe parties representing things we don't believe in as a nation.
The president has been a walking caricature of grandiose statements from day one. It's literally who he is. It doesn't matter what political spectrum you fall in. To hear somebody say "I think the left has a problem with extreme positions" with the sitting president being Donald Trump is utterly hilarious.

Can you point out all the right wing people that cheered when democrats died?
Did Twitter ever have to issue a warning to its users like blusky did?
I think the extreme takes are more of a left problem personally.
You see what you care to see. Idiots everywhere with extreme takes, most of all in the White House.

It's a single stat from a single game, but it's really not a bad stat as all encompassing statistics go. I like EPA more personally. Then you have EPA hybrid stats which probably are even better, but I prefer simplicity when getting advanced.
In any event, this is QBR from last year. It has Lamar and Josh with an identical rating. So while most people had Lamar with better stats, QBR didn't measure any separation. Unlike QB rating, it includes rushing performance. So I do like that element to it and generally find it to be a solid indicator as sample size grows.

Does the fact that a very large percentage of major metros have been led by democrats and subject to democrat policies for decades on end play into any of it? Were the policies implemented in these cities for decades just benign bits of nothing with no real world impact?
It’s a lot more possible than harsher penalties as was implied by the poster I was responding to. But that’s a much longer conversation at this point.

I was about to post something similar.
The post by @Mikie2times really irks me.
I've personally lived through all the lefts hot button issues they like to use as excuses for violence and crime.
My mother was a divorced high school dropout and raised my brother and I in a 1 bedroom apartment where she worked two jobs just to try and feed us.
My father was an abusive bitter man who lived in the ghetto of one of the poorest cities in the country and I had to suffer through every other weekend with him for most of my childhood as part of his visitation rights. Strangely enough, I found out later in life after he had passed that he was struggling with his gender identity and that was the reason for my parents divorce when I was an infant.
All of that to say. I too did not turn into a scumbag and resort to crime and violence despite being raised in poverty.
Spare us the socioeconomic excuse for crime and violence. The real problem is we're fostering a culture where we teach individuals that everything wrong in their life is someone else's fault.
As you said, personal accountability is dead.
Are the stats true or not? You are confusing what is statistically relevant with what I condone. You can acknowledge something as relevant and also not condone it. My entire response was to a poster who suggested major metros are more infected with crime because of left leaning policies. No, they're more infected with crime because they have higher %'s of the population represented by indicators of increased crime. I'm glad you made a solid life for yourself, but this huge backlash over just recognizing what is clearly an increased likelihood of a behavior is a bit of needless outrage.

I think we need to all have our real identities on social media, it would make normal folks a lot less likely to act like asshats.
1000% agree. You put peoples names on it, all the BS goes away.

Ultimately people have lessons from parents, siblings, peers, religion. A lot of things. To the extent that most of us have a guy on our shoulder that knows what is right or what isn't right. Most of us don't ever think of hurting people for no reason. Those that do and do so for political reasons aren't representing anybody's political beliefs. No morally decent person condones this stuff. I hate how all this stuff is just political ammunition at this point as it just increases the already big divide, but that's just the nature of internet with no accountability for what is said.

I know how lucky I am.
I'm the exception, not the rule.
The change starts within.
I knew the environment I grew up in wasn't right and I did whatever I had to to break that cycle.
I wish people knew how powerful they really are.
I agree man

I was abused by both parents. Knives were used in fights inside my house and there 3 times family members had to go to the ER for treatment. We have had to lie to CPS.Im not a scumbag and I had a rough environment. No violent crimes in my past.
Do you feel your own personal experiences are reflective of all people? I'm glad you tuned out ok. That doesn't mean the probability that you did is as high as somebody who had a more conventional upbringing. I can call out things I have done that very few people have. Should I expect they all should be able to do so?

My mother was a single parent and addicted to drugs. I am not a scumbag.
Personal accountability is dead.
Just excuses.
I'm happy you made a good life for yourself. Statistics are pretty conclusive you had a higher likelihood than other people to not turn out ok. Does that mean they shouldn't be held accountable? Not all. Does that mean we should throw away a clear statistical pattern when trying to understand our environment? I hope not.

But you clearly said MAGA loves school shootings. That means Dems do too if we use your philosophy.Name calling…yep.
For petty theft? Sure. Nobody who is about to do 2-3 years in jail is stopping because they might do 4-5. Look further up the line. It's how you're raised, the environment, the education. All of it. More poverty, single parent families, less education in major metros. You aren't fixing violent crime unless you fix the underlying issues (which will never happen).

The highest crime cities are all blue cities lol. Chicago just had what, another 50 people shot?The last multiple mass shootings….were those left or right wing people? I will give you a hint, about a dozen were transgender. Does that help?
Oh yeah. This will turn the country.Are we saying the major metro areas have higher crime rates than rural or suburban areas? What exactly does that tell us again? Violence is an act by individual people who fall on the fringe. It has nothing to do with politics or religion. You would find much stronger correlations with violent crime and socioeconomic status/education as you did with major metros but identified it for the wrong reasons.

Watching how close that FG attempt was to getting blocked still gives me the heebs.
It would have been so, forgive the term Billsy to come all the way back and have it blocked.
Instead, it was very Chiefs & previously Patriots like.
🤞 For one game the tide turned. We got a few breaks to go along with some serious skilled plays.
Maybe it's our turn for getting numerous gifts, lucky plays, bad calls.
Go Bills!

This is excellent. Two guys about as far away as it gets having a respectful discussion with respect from both sides.

We’ve reached a point where one random person’s hot take online can feel like it represents half the country, when in reality most people still treat each other with basic respect regardless of politics or religion. The problem is that the internet isn’t real life. There’s no accountability or transparency, it’s “telephone tough guy” energy taken to another level.
For younger generations who grew up immersed in it, the noise may feel as real as the hand in front of their face. But for most of us, it’s obvious what it really is, spectacle and clicks. That’s why it’s important not to feed into it. Don’t give the outrage machine what it wants. Real life still runs on respect and personal connection, not likes and retweets. The only place the world is truly falling apart is online so don't feed it anymore than it already is.

oh he said as much in his post-game presser. Something along the lines of "when he came toward the sidelines I could see he wasn't right so i went ahead and punted it"
Although Lamar apparently called it "cramping"
https://www.si.com/nfl/john-harbaugh-explains-controversial-decision-to-punt-on-final-4th-downI won't say we got lucky on that call, it was a clean hit. But I have seen roughing called for a heck of a lot less. I can't imagine if they would have thrown the flag in that spot. Imagine that game ending on a roughing call.

1. How close was Hamilton to blocking that kick? That would have been all time Billsy. He touched it if you look at the replay.
2. How much of the 4th quarter output was the Ravens going prevent? It didn't look like we could separate for 3 quarters, then boom.
3. Did the Bills missing that 2 point conversion actually help? Instead of pushing they went conservative and we were able to get the 3 and out.
4. Ed Oliver was a mad man. Without Ed we don't win that game. That's how big his individual contribution was.
5. Why are we so stubborn on traditional 1 tech DT's. Jones was showing signs of being washed last year. Out of all our DT spots we can't afford one DT whose primary focus is defending the run for games like this?
6. Josh had Brady vibes to him. Like it was inevitable. Just get the ball back.
7. Harbaugh might be a good coach, but it's not hard to see why they struggle late. Awful play calling on both sides of the ball late in the game.
8. I respect McD, but the dude just needs to hire a proven DC who can run his own system. McD as a CEO coach is A+. McD as a heavily involved defensive coach that will only bring in people to run his scheme provides no talent, no ownership, and no results
9. We could be undefeated for the Chiefs game, the schedule is favorable, any losses will be true upsets
10. That was probably the best win we have had in 20+ years for a regular season game. We don't win those games, it was like the reverse Dallas MNF game.

The crazy part about this, is coaches have always felt Josh has the capacity for this too. He’s INCREDIBLY intelligent.
It’s really easy to forget that he wasn’t given the exposure to these things in HS and college like other players were. Not to mention he was so physically unrefined, it didn’t even matter.
He’s 8 years in and there’s still untapped potential he’s realizing.
I used to give Allen a hard time his first few years because I didn't think he could run an offense on schedule and I think that's very important. On schedule is consistent and repeatable, where off script is exciting but inconsistent. Even if he is the best ever off script, its just limiting., While he made some progress last year in that, I felt a lot of it was Brady forcing the two pointers. Then the Chiefs game happened and while nobody blames Josh for that loss, I'm fairly certain Josh puts blame on himself for not reading that final play the right way. So to see him yesterday, especially in the 4th quarter, just nail his timing was really exciting. The traditional quarterbacking or Burrow/Brady style is the element that has been underdeveloped and it becomes more important as he gets older. If he dials into that I really don't think we will be talking about defense, how you can't win 2 MVP's in a row, or Super Bowl wins. It will all be resolved soon enough.

Josh was reading coverages pre snap like he has never done before. He was more deliberate on his throws in many situations staying within the play structure. Specifically in the 4th quarter. He has almost nothing in common with TB, but that last quarter he did display on time and on target passing like he rarely has. If that element goes into his game this year, it will be something nobody has ever seen in NFL history.
