I know, it’s Week 5 and already the QB controversy has begun. I believe there is a legitimate reason for there to be one. I don’t want to knock the Dolphins front office or any of the coaching staff but if Brian Flores is speaking true of Tua Tagovailoa, that he isn’t quite ready yet, the question is WHY? Health is not an issue, because Tua has been the gameday #2 QB which means if anything happened to Ryan Fitzpatrick Tua would be in the game. So let’s put health aside, and think back to before the Tua injury at Alabama, he was the top QB prospect, although Joe Burrow with his great Senior year was a close 2nd. So how is it that Joe Burrow started from day one? Justin Herbert taken one pick after Tua has now started 3 weeks due to the unfortunate medical circumstances with QB Tyrod Taylor. Undrafted Brett Rypien has started an NFL game due to injuries to Drew Lock and Jeff Driskel, and although it was against the NY Jets he still looked like he belonged completing 67% of his passes and a team high 7.4YPA. Yes, he threw 4 INT’s, but he was undrafted after all. So again I ask, why is Tua not ready?
I like and admire Ryan Fitzpatrick and our 1-3 record is certainly not all on him. If you watched the last game. We dominated TOP and had the ball more than 6 minutes more than the Seahawks. We ran 67 plays, 45 were Ryan Fitzpatrick pass attempts and another 6 were Ryan Fitzpatrick rushes. 51 of the 67 plays were Ryan Fitzpatrick. Isn’t that too much to come away with only TD? The one TD was a Ryan Fitzpatrick scramble. Listen, Fitz is playing his heart out, he’s doing whatever he can to win games but we’re not winning and I think it’s high time for them to spend more time doing whatever they have to do to get young Tua Tagovailoa ready to play.
This week we travel to SFO to play Darlene’s beloved 49ers. Talk about a team absolutely decimated by injuries, it’s unbelievable and they keep coming. The 49ers have quite the IR list, starting with DE’s Nick Bosa and Solomon Thomas, CB Richard Sherman, WR’s Deebo Samuel, Tavon Austin, Jalen Hurd, RB Tevin Coleman, TE George Kittle was out 3 weeks and now QB Jimmy Garoppolo, DE Dee Ford, and RB Raheem Mostert are out with injuries. All I can say is it’s a good time to play the Niners. Kyle Shanahan has done a fine job at keeping this team competitive despite the volume of injuries as they are 2-2. QB Nick Mullins can play and this is by no means a gimme. George Kittle is back mostly healthy and was a monster last week and I would expect him to have another huge day against our defense.
It may not seem as if our defense has improved all that much but we do have 9 sacks through 4 weeks, I’m not sure we had 9 sacks all season last year. OK, that’s a joke. We had 23 sacks last season and right now we’re on pace for 36. You have to start somewhere. In our secondary, rookie Noah Igbinoghene has been targeted often and with much success. It was intended that Iggy play mostly in the slot with Byron Jones playing the boundary but Jones has been injured and unavailable, pressing Igbinoghene into a tough assignment. He’s a good player, and he will improve wherever he plays, count on it! I don’t know of Byron Jones status for week 5 but my guess is Iggy will be starting outside opposite X. Deebo Samuel is back after playing last week against Philly and Brandon Aiyuk, a very promising rookie will likely be the guy Iggy will be covering, so not an easy out.
One thing I take as a positive is that there was formal announcement regarding the status of the starting QB position with our team, so at least there is consideration or at a minimum awareness that a change may be necessary. As I stated earlier, besides getting the team ready to play the 49ers, they had better be dedicating as much time is necessary to make sure #1 is ready to play, I mean after all he’s the gameday #2, it’s kind of expected, no? Maybe Tua should be getting more practice reps, I doubt Fitz needs them at this point of his career, he can do it in his sleep. I hope they do everything in their power to make sure Tua IS ready, I think it’s just about that time!

Where is ORob coming up with Tua doesn’t have a strong arm? Tua has a cannon.
I’d like to know where Tua is hiding his cannon? Let’s just say it’s good enough. Guys with much weaker arms have succeeded, like Joe Montana.
It’s not an elite arm but better than average. His ability to see the field and get rid of the ball quick with a quick release make his arm as good as it needs to be.
Fitz may be able to do it in his sleep, but you want the team practicing the plays that will be used for the current game, giving Tua most of the practice reps would be counterproductive.
Good post as always MikeE. I sort of feel the same way. However, when coach says Tua is not ready, I feel he means the offense is not ready for Tua. As you said, Tua is healthy and can play. That is why he is #2. I think they are buying more time to let the offense gel. Let everyone have the new offensive playbook down (orchestrated by the one who knows it best) which I think they should be there by now. If we see more Fitztragic this weekend against another injury depleted team, they have to pull the trigger and start Tua at Denver. Waiting to start him at home vs a good Chargers D would be a mistake IMO.
Shoot, I thought the DEN was a home game. I don’t mind if we start Tua at Denver anyway, I think that’s a good week to start him. We’ll see what happens this week. It’s just that feeling of going through the motions with Fitz as QB. We can be competitive, but if we’re not winning, let the kid play. My fear would have been the O-line but I feel like they’re good enough, and you can’t just wait for the ideal time because things constantly change in the NFL, so just do it!
MikeE., house is fine. Still waiting to hear from insurance company. It’s been 16 days since they came by. Tarp still holding strong. Thanks for asking!
Glad to hear BBM!

Fitz: “There are a million different throws that he makes that I can’t.”
I’ve never heard any concern about Fitz’s arm and Tua can make throws he can’t, so I don’t think arm strength is an issue.

BTW, Looks like your getting this one too Wyoming, hunker down. Looked like it was going to be me and BBM again, but now i think its looking more your way.
Gulf has been Cane crazy this year.
Ya
It’s supposed clip me again. We are on the edge of the cone
Should be ok unless it tracks farther west?
Mike E — nice write including what for sure we will have to answer from now on….. when will Tua start. And heck — I want to see him play just like everyone else.
A long road game to San Fran might not have been the time though. Even with all those injuries we are still 8.5 point dogs.
I agree with that. I have had the DEN game as the game I think he should start his hopefully long and illustrious career. I just don’t like the “He’s not quite ready” rhetoric. I believe if he’s not ready, that’s on you, not him.
TEN vs BUF game in serious jeopardy. This is getting closer to fucking up the entire season. Not good . . .
I think folks are underestimating just how much Fitz helps out our OL. He gets the ball out on time and scrambles pretty good. He helps make the OL look good.
I agree, and I believe this is the biggest reason he’s still starting over Tua. It also fits with the ‘he’s not ready’ rhetoric for Tua.
Yep
Randy – Do you know if Tua won’t be able to scramble as well or better than Fitz? You don’t have to answer because it was a rhetorical question. My feelings are you don’t draft a QB at #5 who before his injury was considered the best QB in CFB and then wait for everything to be perfect and pristine for him to enter a game. That may never happen. Think about that!
I think you can look at the defenses we were slated to play the first 5 weeks of the season, look at the injury Tua is coming off, consider an oline that was rebuilt and didn’t get a preseason, and consider what are prospects for reaching the playoffs going into 2020 were, and make a calculated decision to start him mid-season instead of early on.
Then as a coach, you can stick to that decision and not give a sh&t that some fans are throwing a hissy fit because Tua may start game 7 instead of game 5, lol.
*our*
I felt watching the game and some others did as well, maybe even you in particular that Fitz gave up too quick a lot of times, went into run and get some yards rather than trying to extend the play. I’m sure Fitz can see the field better and recognize and process what he’s seeing better after 16 years in the league he should be able to. Gotta start somewhere
TUA WATCH — when will he start?
Oct 18 @ Denver
Oct 25 vs Chargers
Nov 1 vs Rams
Nov 8 @ Arizona
Nov 15 vs Jets
Nov 29 @ Jets
Dec 6 vs Cincinnati
Dec 13 vs Kansas City
Dec 20 vs New England

Shitty week!
That’s sad. Always is sad.
Hey Mike aka 🎙
Why do you think the pickaxes (⛏ )are going to win
They aren’t even playing And don’t even play football
Frankly if the Dolphins lose to a parcheesi trio from Sandusky this Sunday, I may never get over it!
The pickaxes aren’t playing either, lol.
Ah shit. I need to edit that Kong
It’s a miners pick, one that a gold digging 49er would use silly! Not a pitchfork. That’s for Trump. lol
I throw a flag for unfair use of Admin abilities…… costs you 15 yards. When the rest of us don’t get it that sticks. 🙂
It would have been such a good joke if I knew anything about hardware
Not exactly a handyman either. Only thing I know to do when the plumber shows up is to ask questions and see if some answers conflict.
Kong – I haven’t been saying Tua should have started game 1. I think he should be ready to play in any of the next couple of games. We’re also 1-3 and if we lose again that drumbeat is going to get louder and steadier, as it should.
MikeE,
Some folks just want Tua to play. It really doesn’t matter if he or the team is ready….they just want him to play. So, nobody really gives a crap whether it’s best for the team or not. Fans just want to see him play, everything else be damned. Lol
***
I get it and I don’t really care. He’ll play sooner or later. I don’t think it matters one whit whether that’s in game 6 or game 12.
I don’t think it matters in the big picture either. I just don’t get why QB’s like Joe Burrow and Justin Herbert can be ready so much faster than Tua. You have to admit finding the perfect situation to put him in can change at any time. You can plan but the football gods rarely cooperate.
Your just making that assumption because those teams didn’t have another option.
We do.
Wait, so no one got the miner’s pick? I don’t know shit about tools and equipment but I thought that was the closest thing I had in my emoji arsenal to portray the 49ers. lol
I got it.
Thanks bud!
I got it. But I’m in Niner country, there are pickaxes laying around all over the place up here…
LOL! Gotta watch where you walk big guy!
I got it
I was just trying to be a smart ass and I never miss an chance to note the competitive spirit of a parcheesi trio from Sandusky…
Mike,
All I’m saying is I think the coaches have a plan for when to start him, they are sticking to it, and they could care less about the beating of the drum.
I’m not sure about anyone else, but when I looked at our schedule this year, I had us starting 1-4 or 2-3 at best. I think probably most of us here did. We’re right about where I expected us to be. I thought the defense would be better than it has been. On offense I knew we’d miss a shifty Wilson, didn’t expect Howard would be a non-factor, and expected more from Williams and Breida.
The oline is looking pretty good in pass pro, but I agree with Randy that Fitz is covering up for them some. We still can’t run the ball. So at this point I’m ok with letting Tua sit a bit longer. IMO starting him won’t yield different results in the W/L column right now, so let the oline get a few more games under their belt and maybe we can get a little better at run and pass pro before handing it over to him.
The last thing I want to see is what happened with Rosen last year happen to Tua. Start him, then switch back to Fitz. When Tua starts I’d like to see him keep the job moving forward.
I hear ya Kong, I’m just really sensitive to the “Not ready” quote. I don’t want to hear that our superstar QB isn’t ready. That’s probably on me, but it still bugs me.
Coach speak really grates on my nerves too. It’s the reason rants like “playoffs?! I just hope we win a game!” are so great. To see a coach say f^ck it and say what he actually thinks is refreshing, lol.
MikeE,
I think our team situation lended itself to letting Tua sit awhile. Then, add in his injury situation, and I don’t think it was crazy to let him sit. This team wasn’t going to do anything with or without Tua playing. This team will be lucky to finish at .500. I wasn’t suggesting you need the perfect situation before you put him in. I think having a veteran QB who knows how to play helps other guys develop faster and better. I don’t think you get the same thing from a rookie QB. I don’t care how good he is.
***
And now I think I’m tired of talking about Tua already. Lol
Let’s talk about pickaxes and other equipment then, shall we? lol
SF has a scary DL, SD has scary edge rushers, the Rams have a sick DL too. Thats another reason i thought the Jets game was the safest bet to bring him in. I dont think there is a perfect time, but those teams would be straight into the fire vs the Jets who are pretty much a dumpster fire at this point.
Like Randy and Kong were saying. Fitz knows better how to navigate that pressure in the pocket, i see both sides of this argument and if i went with my own personal preference id throw him in now, but i can see the other side of that argument and im sure thats the side that Flo is on.
I’m glad Bosa won’t be in the game. He has been a beast for the Niners.
[video src="https://thechive.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/daily-morning-awesomeness-38-photos-3-2.mp4" /]
Did he get caught doing this? LOL

Niners are 2-2.
Beat Jets and Giants (0-8 combined)
Lost to Eagles and Cardinals (3-4-1)
And you know where 2 of the 3 wins came from.
If was a betting man would take the Phins +8.5.
My October draft. They have Houston at #4 and us at #7. Turned out real good IMO.

Wife voted today, or at least will have when put it in the box. And we are talking 12/8…man have times changed from one election day. I still want to go in person, but I’ll still be doing it a week or so before in early voting.
Sorry BBM — meant a new post…. still not sure why we need a to p-end CB though.

TRUMP 2020!
Wife voted straight GOP except for 2 of the 20-some options. Strong GOP household. One exception was our mayor, who we like.
Thanks, Mike E. Nice write.
I think some of the rhetoric of not being ready is more of shade that the OL and offense, in general, is a work-in-progress. Fitz’s experience puts that learning process in overdrive.
I don’t think Tua can accelerate that process like Fitz can, presently. Soon perhaps, maybe. Why rush?
i guess the team could always do like they did with TANNY and throw him in there with a sub par o-line and then give up on him, trade him and watch him go take a different team to the playoffs………….or get him killed
wonder why they don’t want the public to know………. hmm?
things that make you go hmm? …………….lol.
That is big one in the room for him right now. Kamela dodged last night as well. But if GOP keeps the Senate not even an issue. And thinking a bunch of Dem senators would be against as well.
Why can’t we play Tua? All the other coaches are letting their rookie QBs play!
Reminds me of my kids when they want to do something and I won’t let them. But..,but so and so’s Mom is letting him!!!!
i would have to wonder who these rookies are sitting behind or starting ahead of. ie:the situation…….. just saying 🙂
It’s a good point Top
In Herberts case, the starter was injured by the doctor 😳
In Burrows case, calling the bengals depth chart a “depth chart” is a misnomer. burrows backup is Ryan Finley, who is basically a rookie with 3 games in his career under his belt
Neither team has a Ryan Fitzpatrick available
We really have a luxury
I’m in no hurry to start Tua
But I will be excited when it happens
I think we can play him
But I also think if we can put him in the best situation possible
Coming into the season getting the OL up to shape was a priority
I think that’s coming along
But maybe a week or 2 might be a better way to put him in a better situation
We are on the cusp of seeing him imo
I went back and watched some video’s on Tua. I was one of the skeptical ones during the draft. Don’t know why some knock his arm though. That was not a ? for me really. Tua has a stronger arm or just as strong an arm as many starters in the NFL. After going back and watching Tua, he really reminds me of a left handed Russel Wilson.
Russel Wilson is a great comparison for Tua
His arm strength is not always on display so I kind of get the criticism
But it’s there
BBMike
If we ended up with Parsons,Ossai and Surtain – lookout
But I think we might have to look at WR and RB
We can use a couple of guys that tune average plays into big plays
Good write, Mike. This team just needs to keep making strides and try to get better every week even it it’s not always in the W/L column. But at some point they have to start winning games.
i agree…………. STAY THE COURSE.
and on a personal note to the NFL, don’t be like NBA……..and “get woke/go broke”

Wonder what’s going to happen with the Titans vs Bills
I was just reading an article about the possibility of the Titans forfeiting games. That would be an NFL first.
STANGER,
yes, both sleepy joe and heels up harris are avoiding the question that the nation’s voters deserves an answer to, but we MUST never forget ;
Not a chance the Dems take back the Senate. Least to me. And without that is a non-issue. Would take a landslide against Trump. You thinking it is possible?
anything is possible, even though i think it’s doubtful. but the America hating liberals are so corrupt as to change the rules to fit their need. the fact that this is even a topic for discussion should disturb any freedom loving American.
TRUMP 2020 !
From the last blog article on Grier and that we lack playmakers is somewhat true but when you tear the team down like we did last year, how do you expect us to loaded? Can’t address everything in one offseason. But we do have some good young players who we hope will ascend to another level in time. It doesn’t really make much sense to keep going to the past before 2019. Not sure why that keeps coming up. That no longer has anything to do with what we’re doing now. The roster is being totally revamped.

Piggy, I did draft RB Kylan Hill. Last year he had 242 carries for 1,350 yards with 5.6 average and 10 TD’s. This year he only has 8 carries for 41 yards (5.1 average) because he is in MSU’s air raid offense this year where they pass almost every down. He does have 8 rec for 158 yards with 19.8 yard average and 1 TD in one game vs LSU.
Piggy, I chose Surtain over Waddle so I drafted a real speedster later in WR Anthony Schwartz. He is faster than Tyreek Hill.
We can use some speed
Mike E , Dar says thanks for the shout out , we were supposed to be in SF for the game, but alas… I think it’s winnable and I think Krishnas 6:29 post is spot on … as for when he starts … week 17 when we rest players after winning the division 😉
ORob … were you serious with J Howard’s 9.75 Mil ?? How many years is it for. I spose I could google it..
yes I’m disappointed with the run game , especially Brieda and Howard so far .. hoping that the original OL focus was on pass pro, and now that that is improved they concentrate more on run blocking and we see results soon.
Watched the first 1/4 of Seattle game last night and most of passes Fitz was tossing were 15 yds downfield.. that is an improvement over the behind LOS screen passes with no blocking that we had with Gase. I want to see Tua as well but we have time. Next 4 games we will either improve enough to win more than lose or he will be in
2 years for Howard. I think we’re all surprised by Howard and Breida playing 2nd and 3rd fiddle to Gaskin. I’m just watching it play out.
Wow yeah I was pleased with the signings , nowhere but up I guess 🤷♂️
Howard’s 9.75M is over two years, not per year.
I’d like to see us take some more deep shots but I wonder if there is reason why we’re mostly working the middle of the field in medium range, and throwing to the backs a lot on screens in the flat – which I like? Could be they’re looking for the OL to gel more and get better at deeper pass pro. Like everything else it’s a work in progress because there is a lot of new.
i don’t know who said this prior, but i would agree that the most ideal time to start TUA would be AFTER game 10 (at the jets). that would give him the extra bye week to prepare for the home game against those same jet scumbags.
Man, I wish we could’ve drafted Wirfs. He’s gonna be an all pro. He’s just so big, athletic and smooth.
THere was a moment in the draft where I thought he would fall to 18
But then he went 13
I still can’t believe he fell that far
What do you think so far about Austin Jackson? I think he’s been pretty good for a very young rookie (21) LT – even though he’s a little banged up right now with a foot injury.
Piggy,
I think he has everything you need to be the best LT in the league. He’s making Mack look like JAG.
I think he’s going to have a good career
I thought we might consider trading up when he fell a little
But I am happy with Jackson so far
Tim,
I think Jackson looks okay for a rookie. I have seen a few too many wrong steps, but he’s done okay. I’d also like to see a little more push in the running game from him, but he’ll get stronger. He doesn’t really get on guys and dominate them. He’s got some filling out to do. He seems to play with an attitude, which I like to see. I don’t think he’s close to Wirfs’ class, but so far so good, overall.
That’s a solid analysis. The way I look at OL is… if you hear their name too much, it better because they’re dominating. The other one isn’t good. I’m not hearing Jackson’s name too often. LOL
Appears Belichick got th refs in the divorce 🤡
Who knows Deiter might become the center next year with Karras being a potential placeholder this year, or maybe we look elsewhere. I think Hunt is our future RT. Davis might hang around as the game day depth guy. At least they totally revamped the OL because what we were were rolling with wasn’t working. I see progress already.
I really hope Deiter can be a part of this OL
Even if Deiter is a solid backup C/OL and Davis becomes the same as a G/T we have nice depth because they’ve been around, know what’s going on and have proven to be versatile if not starters. A 3rd and a UDFA journeyman for quality depth. That’s how it works sometimes.
We might want to draft a top center prospect if there is one. I don’t know.
Mack looked like LT there. Take the QB down and also make the tackle look like a rag doll.
Starting to get a little chippy 😊 , and Lady Tom not happy people touching him
LOL
That tackle was Wirfs as well. Not a shot at Wirfs, Mack is starting to Beast Mode
Lmao Brady lost track of what down it was with 32 secs left. No Tom that WAS 4th Down. You done son
Dementia?
Left Foles hanging looking for him at games end … too funny

Dont see a dilemma i see a trade scenario and a damn good one.
Still don’t think that Texans pick is going to be #1, or even top 5. Time will tell
Nor do I, but with a new coach you never know.
I think the Stej, Washington are going to get in the way of Houston for #1
Looks like it’s Davis at LT!
God help us, he was awful there the last time we had him there.
Fuck!
IR this year is different, could be as little as 3 weeks
I’ve been struggling to get used to that. I’ll see a report about this or that team putting someone on IR, and think “wow”, then I remember it might just mean out for a couple of weeks.
Cav sucks for FF players. When a guy goes on IR you have to do some research and play Doogie Howser.
And Action Jackson was looking good.
Well that ain’t cool at all. Maybe they can line Hunt up at TE for running plays.
Wow, Jackson out a few weeks, that sucks. This is exactly why I say you can’t plan for a certain game because shit like this happens. Now we have to hope he recovers well in a few weeks before we put Tua in there, and yes, I know Tua’s a lefty.
I like the idea of putting Hunt at RT and seeing how it goes. Put him in there and see if you can make some hay in the running game behind he and Kindley.
I’ll agree with that if they think Davis is the best available LT. But seems what you are thinking is how they see the future for sure. Believe Hunt has some growing to do though. Davis was named a team captain early on.
And it begins!
Transformer just blew!!!!!!! 😦
Tough season for you man. Stay safe.
Looking ok so far?
Least looks like will get weaker instead of stronger. What the F else can I say? 🙂
Damn BBM, hang in there pal!
They’ve had so many. Thought last time was BBM and this one Wyoming.
He’s a little old ya know! 😉
Its was. BBM and I got the last one, Wyoming got one before us and now is gonna get clipped by this one it seems. Wont be as direct a hit as last time but still….
Glad to hear this one isn’t right side of the impact swirl, as of now at least. Leaves me thinking that Krishna has been real lucky though….. me too.
Stanger, Team Captain and good at LT or any position gfor that matter doesnt really have anything to do with one another, just said he is brining leadership and the other players look to him as a mentor, but agian, i dont think that makes him the best LT choice. Davenport had a good game last week, and even though i dont trust him having a bunch of those, if let him prove to me he wont before i move Davis to LT. Maybe they can bring in Hunt at LT as well.
I figure if they don’t want Hunt at RT they sure as heck won’t throw him into LT in his first start. Davenport it will probably be, but Davis could do it even if maybe not that well.
Isn’t Davenport the backup LT?
Yes he is. Figure he will be our LT on Sunday.
Now the Stej!!!!!!
They are gonna run out of bye weeks at some point.
And hurricane season isn’t close to over.

Means they tested too soon after symptoms developed.
That was beautiful
nicked himself manscaping, posts about it, gets suspended?????
WTF world?????
That’s crazy about rappaport
What. Silly thing for the nfl to get upset about
There goes the (N)o (F)un (L)eague rearing its ugly head. Get fucking real!
Looks like Jimmy G is playing tomorrow
The NFL allows murderers and rapists to play in their league but won’t let a guy talk about grooming products and the good results he got from them. Hypocritical as all fucking hell
They should have Adam Schefter tweeting Rapaport is day to day with a manscaping post suspension. lol
Actually, better yet, day to day with manicured balls
I think every player in the NFL should tweet about their balls and see what the NFL will do.

Blue skies and electricity!!!!!!! 🙂
Congratulations!
Can’t ask for too much more than that.
welcome to the hurricane club, 2 or more in one season.
I’d been thinking it was either gonna be Davis or more likely Davenport at LT on Sunday. But there is another option — “Ereck Flowers was drafted in the top-10 overall to play left tackle.” Hunt or Deiter could then pop in at LG.
All I can say is Flowers was dreadful at LT. The only reason he’s still in the NFL was Bill Callahan saved his career moving him to G and getting him to learn the position. I mean anything can happen but I think it’s best if he stays inside. I’d probably let Davenport play LT, keep Davis at RT
That’s where I am. Though I’d consider Hunt at LT if I wanted to see if he has potential there.
D — — why Hunt at LT rather than Hunt at RT? Guess it all hinges on how good Davenport is…. but have absolutely no clue on that one.
Probably because Lawson is out.
I know this is just Wisconsin, but starting to think the 2020 election will have the highest turnout in our lifetimes. And the early voting sites there aren’t even open yet.
——————————–
“In the 2016 general election, 146,294 Wisconsinites voted by mail, and 666,035 others voted at in-person early-voting sites. In the current general election, 646,987 people have already voted absentee as of Friday.”
Watch for the efforts at voter suppression. Already, in high gear. TX got whacked by federal judge.
Lots of lawyers trying to make it harder to vote for a reason, but it is so much easier now. Used to be first Tuesday in Nov and that was it. Now you can mail in or vote early a week or two before the election.
LSU really struggling this year
They lost a lot of talent and play in the toughest conference in the nation.
It’s not like Clemson. They head and shoulders above everyone (13 teams) in the conference.
They’re…
Watching the Herd game. 1st play- 1st down. 2nd play- TD!!!
7-0 Herd in less than a minute. That’s how you start a road game!
Lol…..no shit. Go Herd!
28-0 Herd – Halftime.
For the K.J. Costello fans he is looking like dog shit. Already has 4 INT’s vs Kentucky.
I was expecting a closer game between the “U” and Clemson. Instead, it’s Ole Miss giving Alabama a run for their money with Bama leading 49-45.
Game day bitches!

Looks like our game next week is postponed so the Pats can play the Broncos instead. Then our game is moved to what was the Bye week.
Not sure if this is fair. If one team is following protocols and no positive results and others aren’t and have positives, is it fair to reschedule games of the team that’s following the rules?
It couldn’t be more unfair, but I think the NFL has no choice. They don’t want to extend the season so they have to do things like this.
I guess this changes things when you’re thinking Tua might be starting after the Bye week. Surprise!!! It’s next week.
In further consideration I’m ok with it. I’m OOT next weekend and would have missed the game. Now I won’t! 😂
Make sure you wait to do laundry until this afternoon! 😉
Yep – that’s what we mean when we say we are right in the cusp
Any week now we will probably see him
The new BYE could definitely change the schedule for Tua. If Fitz doesn’t play well enough to help us win I could see using the new BYE week to get Tua ready to play against the Chargers. Tough matchup though with their defense, but it would be at home.
