  1. Bills are 21st in league in shotgun (59%) vs under center. So they aren't really a shotgun heavy team. Highest is Bal at 96% . Via sharpfootballstats. I couldn't find game to game breakouts, so I don't know if Sun was a significant deviation. Retraction: mobile dynamic table very glitchy; data incoherent. Will try to update.
  2. The legal standard in such a case is "good faith". Ex: school shooting. Armed janitor and plain clothes police enter the building. Former shoots the latter b/c he thinks he's the bad guy. Assuming other self-defense tests met, it's likely a "clean shoot" and janitor should not be prosecuted. In the KR case, was he displaying attributes of an active shooter? I won't go into the facts in evidence, but the answer, to my mind, is no. @Beast I believe answered correctly the other issue you raised.
  3. Interesting post...I realize where you're coming from (per prior msg) and it is indeed an old saw that juries vote on emotion, not the law. The schwerpunkt in this case is the Rosenbaum encounter, imv. If not justified, the house comes tumbling down. However, the state has not weaved a "beyond reasonable doubt" narrative fact pattern, judged v doctrinal self-defense elements: innocence, imminence, proportionality, and reasonableness (avoidance not applicable under WI law). The jury should therefore acquit on homicide charges. To say otherwise is to not understand the rich tradition of self-defense law, nor the constitutional case law that develops the 2A "regulated militia..." clause, nor the present "facts in evidence". Wildcards are reckless endangerment count, jury instructions re provocation, and poor defense closing. He may get torqued on the RE charge if the jury thinks, well, we have to convict him of something.
  4. Funny line from jets forum re undisciplined play: "The penalties are the cherry on top of the suck" (Sorry have to add another I just saw. Win poverty begets genius) Once burned is normal Twice burned is foolish Thrice is heracy Four times is Jetsian
  5. I agree, but a question: does GD look like he has a "play thru it" injury, like turf toe or something? He's running....funny. Seems to have a hitch in his giddy-up. Even seen it in practice vids. Maybe just me, but he still looks a little off.
  6. Indeed, the Bills and Jests are mathematical asymptotes.
  7. This is Dennis Miller/master level cultural reference. Unreal. Teach us, oh wise one.
  8. Bills offense to Knox be like:
  9. The demise of JA17 has been greatly exaggerated (by national media)!!
  10. He's joking: this is sarcasm...it just never seems to translate well in text form.
  11. It's maddening, esp b/c I can assure you w 💯 certainty that everyone knew of this problem. I should add, however, that there were/are some very good combat units, most working b/w/t SoF or other USG organizations. And, believe it or not, alot of these guys were crazy brave, even if incompetent.... could be due to all the hash they smoke!
  12. Glomming on to @Logic theme: ColossalNeatKite-mobile.mp4
  13. As there are few quick fixes in the wings (aside from Brown's return) I would suggest a bigger role for Mck. Looking to add some more pop/dynamism to the O. Hap said earlier he's only getting 16 percent of snaps; that's a motion/jet sweep giveaway. Can Bills double that? Of course, that leaves a ST question. Imv, I would pull him from KR but maintain PR role, if any. Realize that's risky, but all changes carry some risk. Finally GB: to me, he looks like he's been nursing some (small) injury all season. Less explosive routes, etc. Just a spitball thought.
  14. Wow brother: a field corpsman, MEF capable, active (I believe that's the squid rating?!)... straight up badass. Wish you the best: stay safe my friend. Meanwhile, a well worn phrase, but appropriate for you and those still serving:
  15. I was going to thoughtfully reply to this--using the utter absence of doctrinal res ipsa loquitur and lack of "facts in evidence"--but further colloquy would get us nowhere. Honestly, anyone who still believes Mike Brown was "murdered" (per your poster) has only a loose association with...well, the Truth. I urge you to read the Obama DoJ report on the matter, which finds no evidence for Ofc Wilson indictment. Take care and good luck.
  16. Meh...I lurk every once in a while, and rarely comment (only when my HR is, say, +150). Impossible to persuade, or genuinely discuss complexity in this type of media... subjects that would include law(s) of self-defense, even though it basically comes down to IIRP standard. Btw, KR clearly meets this threshold, despite the fact that it wasn't a great idea to be there.
  17. Whichever fight brings in the $...the UFC way (not anything wrong w it). Anyway, I was cracking up about the context of your comment: can you imagine anyone actually wanting to fight Usman? These dudes are freaking nuts.
  18. Poem: excerpt fr his short work, Soliloquy. I read...the room gets dusty. GB: best part=much better non-mission living conditions than real heroes (infantry, grunts). Worst part=always in civies--western/otherwise--instead of cool uniforms that attract the chicks! Also: remiss in forgetting to give an ooh-rah for USMC birthday. Semper Fi. Combining above...in tribute to friend, USMC Ltc LM. Miss you brother. He's the bad ass in the middle; I'm the stocky punk on the left.
  19. H/t to @MAJBobby for starting this thread. Awesome to see how many members are in our Merry Little Band, and to read the kindnesses shared by others. Thanks also to @Fan in Chicago for specifically remembering so many names. Well done.
  20. Wonder where this story comes from and if it may have political motive? Those are what you call rhetorical questions. Always, always check your sources, and the sub-sources. Though I'm loathe to cite wiki, I don't have the heart to chase after this continued foolishness. To wit, Ms Neumann: In August 2020 she made an ad for Republican Voters Against Trump in which she endorsed the presidential candidacy of Joe Biden and called Trump's language and actions "racist," saying she considers "America is less safe" due to Trump's failure in leadership.
  21. To all my brothers and sisters who served, anywhere, any time, and in whatever capacity: I pray that our collective sacrifice (and that of our families) in some way made the world safer, and our countrymen more secure. A keen edged sword, a soldiers heart Is greater than a poet's art And greater than a poet's fame A little grave that has no name --- Francis Ledwidge DSK: Iraq, Afg, and many other places untidy.

  22. Hah...I see what you did there. Well done sir.
  23. I liked Masvidal toughness but, in that game and at that level, once you're broke...well, you still have a career but straps ain't in the cards. Re Chimaev: agree. Indeed (though I realize he's swedish national) the sport is shifting to Dagestanis, Chechens, etc... almost coming full circle from the "early days" primacy of wrestling+g&p. Jmo. Cheers again to @BillsShredder83 for bringing up this topic. Reason I don't use, say, sherdog mma forum is everything quickly devolves into verbal fistfights....I have enough stress just dealing w my BBFS.
  24. Will do. The guy doing the online (text) play-by-play was going ape-s**t so it must've been hella good. Hang in there brother. Hope all goes well. Please let us know how it turns out, on either this thread or your "usual" TSW hang.
  25. I swear, this is the permanent state of every bjj guy I know. Thus, I've come to realize the discipline is WAY past my pain threshold.
