    Why do people call them outsiders whenever they’re not outsiders
     

    You haven’t taken the time to realize that these two situations are not equal

    i'm canadian, ergo an "outsider".

     

    and...there is equal and there is equal. yes they are two different situations but at the heart of it it's "were gonna get your guy" and then "oh yeah well because you got our guy we'll get your guy." i suspect it will continue down that path.

    As an outsider, this is all quite simple. It is nothing more than tit for tat. And I'm for it. Put these politicians on notice that their crooked ways will not be tolerated. The problem is following through which it seems will not happen. With any luck, the presidential debates with takes place in jail, wouldn't that be fun! Fol added bonus, Trump and Biden can share a cell and work out their differences.

    Consolation prize - the Jets are screwed

    in The Stadium Wall

    Yes losing sucks. But in the grand scheme of this season i'm not sure what is better, winning that jets game with Rogers still intact or losing with the jets season being destroyed. Of course I lean win because winning is never bad. But considering the Jets could very well have challenged us for a playoff spot with Rogers around, Floyd's play may have been more important than winning.

     

    And yeah, i'd prefer we go 17-0 but the truth is bills dolphins jets are all contenders and there is only so much room. The jets are almost certainly out of the way now.

    And some people will write this off to incompetence, human error, or anything else they can to avoid admitting the truth: we (humanity) were had. 
     

    Because once they admit that to themselves they’ll have to ask the next question: why? And the answer to that is reality shattering and most people would rather continue to live in the lie and pretend it’s just same-old-same-old, than face the hard truth.

    debating measures, vaccine mandates, that makes sense.

     

    but to call covid a common cold is just wrong and kind of a jerky dismissive move. having almost lost my father to COVID (2 mos icu, 8 mos total hospital stay) i can tell you it is most certainly not a common cold.

     

    debate how we deal with COVID, thats fine, but stop lying about what COVID is and can do to the human body.

    And teachers of good conscience just play along out of fear of reprisals and punishment for objecting.  The left's desired vision of Democracy is indeed a farce yet they insist on claiming the moral high ground.  Are they delusional or just evil?  I say number two.

    While i agree with your assessment re the bs of claiming moral high ground, if that defines evil then most people are evil.

    Will the dual role be too much for McD?

    Well, I wouldn't say "obviously" in every instance.  It's amazing how quite often a majority opinion overlooks quite a few things.  I guess I should have clarified a little better, but IMO it's going to be glaringly obvious.  LOL 

     

    Without assuming what you're viewing as the 'positives', I'll ask directly, what do you see as "positives" in our MLB situation?  Asking for a friend.  :D 

     

    Frankly I'm not sure I see any.  I've been told by some here that the MLB position is going away in the NFL, and not knowing the depth charts of the 31 other teams, I went and looked, and on paper at least, all have either a MLB or ILBs in a 3-4.  So it does not appear to be the case that the position is disappearing.  I also think that that proposition is ridiculous since teams still run the ball, and if the position were to be "going away" in favor of smaller LBs that can cover better than they can play the run, then I'd fully expect teams to run the ball UTM more, which only makes sense at that point.  

     

    I've been bringing this up since last season assuming that would not keep Edmunds, which we haven't, and how we'd better get on the stick in terms of planning a replacement after his departure.  That obviously hasn't happened.  

     

     

    Oh i see very little positive in the MLB situation, only that given where we are at i'm glad we have a relatively competent defensive mind to help mask that weakness.

     

    But this thread is about mcd being dc and hc. I already listed some positives i can think of. Andysplaylist has another thought which is interesting.

     

    There must be a reason why some very good head coaches have done the same (or in reid's case hc and oc but you get the idea). They won the superbowl multiple times doing so, if being hc and dc/oc was so full of negatives it likely wouldn't have worked out that way.

    lots of negatives posted so far. fair enough.

     

    but we should also consider the positives of the dual role. for one thing, when McD is making decisions be they head coach decisions or DC decisions, being in the dual role can help him make better decisions.

     

    for example. a decision to go for it on 4th and 7 may be complimented by his knowledge of which plays he has in mind for the defense should the attempt fail. he may not need to call one of his famous "see what the offense is doing" time outs having complete knowledge of the current playcall on defense. defensive playcalls might be made with more "total game" context in mind.

     

    i'm sure there are more ways being both DC and HC is complimentary rather than burdensome.

    Oh, I agree.

    Look, I'm over analyzing this and I know it. Mostly because this kid would be smarter just to say, "I'm writing in the character of a rural common man frustrated by a distant government that doesn't seem to know I exist." Or even "the song speaks for itself." He's new to the business, so by oversharing his life story he makes it easy for me to nitpick.

    But he brings it on himself with that line about fat welfare queens ...

    he may have overshared but you still really don't know much about him. not enough to draw much of a conclusion about how his life brought him to write this song.  it seems to me he is genuine at least.

     

    the sentiment resonates. plenty of people feel the same way about welfare - that there are cheaters. it's actually a rather basic, obvious view. there isn't much to dissect.
