MF13,
I’m kinda surprised at your level of disappointment and impatience with these young guys. You’ve said for years around here that it takes 3 years or so for an OL to develop…
———–
I’ve said for years around here that it takes perhaps 3 years or so for a single O-Lineman to MASTER their position. With the way we’re cross-training the pups, nobody will be able to master their position… much less gel as a unit.
A single group of O-Linemen (granted they know their one position) should be able to gel as a unit within 4-5 games… not 3 years or so as you attributed to me as saying.
See the difference?
This O-Line is in total disarray, as it has been for YEARS.
i agree MF
Jackson has played only LT. Deiter has played only C along with Hunt at RG all year. Kindley was at LG all year but was benched. You’re making too much out of cross-training.
sorry Tim, this OL sucks
and Flores has to take some heat for it, he is the one that changes OC coordinators almost as often as the tide turns, changing around OL in the middle of the season out of desperation, and ultimately squandering Austin Jacksons debut, when we could have addressed the OL much better than we did
yea, we all hope they do good someday, but remember when Brissett couldnt convert a fourth and inches play? hes a big strong guy, that should be able to rush for 6 inches on that play
that was telling IMO< along with the other OL breakdowns during the first 3 games of the year
What does that have to do with what I said? I was talking about M13’s cross-training comments which aren’t accurate. I never said this OL is good, in fact I’ve been saying they’re bad all year. I also said Flores and his staff have to take part of the blame too. If many of these guys don’t pan out it’s on Grier too. I hope that clears up I how I feel.
I think they will get better if you let each one know their role and let them gel. Hence we seem to get better as the season goes along. Cross training should somewhat be over.
Other than moving Eichenberg around out of necessity, and that’s what Jesse Davis is, a versatile OL who can play different spots in a pinch, the rest have all been playing one position.
I agree, just feeling your best spot should be focused on more.. not sure it is. I get cross training. Don’t want your kicker to be the qb if he gets hurt
David, we’re a very young team with a lot of guys developing at the same time. We’re not adding rookies here and there to some veteran lineup that has a proven body of work. We’re playing lots of young players simultaneously and that takes time. That’s where this team is at.
i cant argue that, all i would like to see is more impact plays from our first round picks, like other teams are doing
Flores couldnt even protect his starting QB, yet most other teams managed to do so , and still have their starting QB
MF13,
I get ya. Our OLs have been crap for a long time. But, I guess I don’t put that on these second and third year players we have right now. Sure, as fans, decades of frustration with our OL warrants disappointment…but it doesn’t have anything to do with these players. Gelling as a unit takes way longer than a handful of games. It takes months…cross training or not.
***
Cross training is just a part of the NFL now. I’m not a huge fan of it either, but I get it. And, when all is said and done, I think a good player can work through that and still be a good player. It should theoretically make you better because you have a better understanding of what other positions do and how to gel with them. I think the cross training and evaluation of best fits is pretty much done for the top 4 guys. Jackson. Kindley. Deiter. Hunt. They are still taking a look at Eich, and they should.
^
I’ve taken your approach on this O line now!! LOL I kind of have the cliff notes above.
Randy you should write a quick write up every Wednesday on the O-line. We could call it ROW “Randy’s O-line Wednesdays ” I’m saying this because I like your breakdowns. It would also help our infamous Mike e. lol
“The exploration of love, trauma, and abuse between Cnaiür and the Anasûrimbors is equal parts disturbing and fascinating.”
New Age,
That is an excellent way to sum up that relationship and its arc in one sentence, lol. It really is interesting to watch it unfold.
It is. Every time I think Kellhus will remove Cnaiur, especially that time he was planning on doing it, I can see the turmoil of indecision. As powerful as Kellhus is, watching his doubts, indecisions, and even regrets play out is really good writing. Bakker definitely goes deep.
I was thinking earlier about your statement on writers and it made me laugh. As a Dolphins fan, I’m always complaining about something. As a fantasy fan, I’m always looking for the next great epic but many times…many, many times, I just go to the easy read because I don’t want to dig that deep. I will never be satisfied no matter how much I complain lol. People are funny and I’m definitely a case study in inconsistency. Back to Conan comics I go lol.
In past years many fans said we don’t play our rookies enough. Now that we play a boatload of them we don’t like what that looks like. Many players on this team have never played with each other. When you blow it up and build heavy through the draft like we’ve done and everyone always says we should do it that way, you have to go through the growing pains. No way around that.
Sounds like what the miami dolphins have done to me. “Love, trauma and abuse ” 😫
That reply was to the ape above lol
Don’t worry, it was understood, unless you’ve been binge watching Days of our Lives or other daytime soaps 🤣
I’m still trying to figure out “who shot J.R” lol
Where’s Laura?
Randy,
My point still stands. One can be a jack of many trades, but an expert in none.
If the continued cross-training experiment continues, we’ll get more QBs killed.
Who’s cross-training too much?
Cross training is great for your core!
??????????????
That is great! Next, work on grammar…
And we wonder why he’s not on the field
Coaches trying to find the best players they have to work with is their main job. If some players aren’t getting it done, should they just keep playing them or look for ways to win the game? Players have to earn their keep. We’ve got some glaring areas of concern for sure, but we’ve seen some good stuff too. We’re 1-2, not 1-7.
Hey Mike E, Tim, and Piggy?
Did ya’ll fire 72,000 health care workers last night?????
You lost me.
Fired!!! Tim please gather your belongings lol
No, not yet anyway
But if/when it happens it will be a much smaller number
FYI Tim and Mike are in NJ not NY so not doesn’t really pertain to them
The 72k number represents 16% of a workforce of 450,000 in the state of NY. It’s kind of a guess but it’s an informed guess. But it’s not like they know 72k if the workforce will break the mandate
Many have religious exceptions
And many rushed to get vaccinated – the order is like a month old and last night was the deadline
So it’s probably going to be much less than 72k when it’s acted upon
I’m not sure it’s firing, it might be a suspension
But it will take them time to implement firings or suspensions of it happens. It’s just a deadline to get vaccinated – that’s shouldn’t be perceived as a deadline for the state to act
Wow!!!! The strong arm of the government doing what they do. Not surprised it’s NY.
??????????
Too many martinis pool side
I’m not getting these tweets from players either. Maybe I’m too stoned. LOL
No such thing!! Obviously not enough lol
Tim,
Good points on the new players. It’s difficult to wait but at least we didn’t lay an egg last week. We should beat the Colts. I’d like to see some offensive improvement in the win and think it will happen. Strongly hope it will happen.
Yeah man, this roster has been churning since 2019. Now it’s time to develop the boatload of players we drafted and mold them along with some of the proven vets. We have 21 new players on this 53 man roster this year along with a lot of other young players in their 1st, 2nd, 3rd or even 4th seasons. This team is being created, it has no structure of success that we’re building onto. It is what it is and we’re all going for the ride. 🙂
So that answers a lot of questions
Godsey is calling the plays
I think I speculated on that. 😉
George, don’t ever call that play in the end zone again.
Yeah really never again
David – Rousseau has only 2 sacks this season, both against us. Don’t be so impressed.
Phillips missed a lot of reps in the offseason and is just getting up to speed playing OLB which is somewhat new for him. I liked what I saw from him in the Raiders game. He looked like he’s starting to get it – set the edge nice on a few plays and had 6 tackles. If Ogbah didn’t get the sack it’s likely Phillips would have. That was the most impressive pass rush we’ve had from both edge rushers collapsing the pocket and I expect to see more of that. Van Ginkel has been solid.
I liked seeing Philips out there. Like you said he is learning. Love the effort you mentioned 6 tackles, I think 3 of them were because they went right by him, however his never give up on play was awesome!
He made a tackle where he set the edge but the play was not on the edge it was inside. but he trailed the play and was in on the tackle chasing from behind. That’s good football. That’s what you want to see. Opponents are going to make plays too. Sometimes I feel like fans think we have to shut down every play. LOL
NY sucks!!! I can’t believe what government has done there the last 8 years. Destroying one of the best cities in the USA 🇺🇸. Hey, you get what you vote for!! 🤡
I was in New York this past Saturday evening. We had tickets to see Jim Gaffigan at Radio City Music Hall for the 8pm show. We figured we would go out for a drink and bite to eat after. At 10 pm on a Saturday night there was nothing open. It was like a ghost town
If you go downtown, or to the UES or UWS where people live it’s fine
Midtown East, Times Square and that area of Radio City Music Hall are really not residential areas
My neighborhood in Queens is pretty active
A week ago I wa win Long Island with a bunch of friends and we were complaining about traffic being back and no one being prepared for it – it was really congested
And that’s the thing, the dynamic of the workforce has changed. People just are going to work 5 days a week now.
So those areas where people congregated like the midtown’s of the world aren’t drawing people
Foot traffic has taken a real hit
NY Democrats are some of the most arrogant people I’ve seen in politics. And Bloomberg was not a Republican. He ran for the party with the best chance to win just like Trump.
I would prefer to stick with discussing our Dolphins though. 🙂
I love NY Mike and Tim and WY and Ken
Suck it!
😄
You can have it Piggy!!! I don’t want it!
It’s all mine!
I might get killed for this
But you can see how that end zone throw that led to the safety could have worked for a big play …
With perfect execution
(Piggy ducks)
Too much bad can happen there though and it did. The play was too slow and backwards. But I do know what you’re saying. If Waddle makes the first guy miss it could have gone for 20 or so.
Big risks on that call
Too much for me
But when you get the chance go look at the receiver (a rb) on the other side and the TE who is wide open
There were plays to be hand
And of course making waddle jump slowed down the develeoent
Zach Seiler received a high grade from Pff
I generally don’t care about pff grades but he did okay well and he’s been very good for us
You might say My fandom of his is Seilered….eh….no don’t say that
Seiler is one of our best players, not just on the DL, overall.
Piggy I didn’t say I didn’t like NY.
Just asked for an update on the news if you had any.
Although it’s a good assumption that I’m not a fan of any “city”!
That 9:14 post was tongue in snout
Piggy:
I love NY but I miss the way it was. When made NY great is midtown. It’s not the same right now. It is still great and I do believe once we really get out from this pandemic it will come back to much of the way it was
It’s not just the pandemic but civil unrest and politicians allowing disorder to happen. For me this isn’t political as much as it is current events and what’s actually happening.
But I do agree NYC will rebound in some way, it always does.
I certainly didn’t experience any civil unrest when I was in NY. Well there was the guy at gas station trying to sell my wife and I drugs but he was polite about it
You never saw the boarded up store fronts after riots? I know a lot of people who live and work in NYC and the BLM/Defund the Police crowds fucked it all up. People who didn’t want to own firearms were buying firearms? How could you not have seen this?
I really don’t want to keep going on with this, but this baffles me. It’s as if it never happened. What?
They were certainly not there now. It was actually very peaceful. Boringly peaceful
But you said ghost town.
Comparatively speaking in that things were closed early. Not because there was unrest. It was really quite safe while we were there
Piggy, that pass in the end zone we’ve seen Tom Brady make hundreds of time whether to Edleman, Welker, White or whoever. But he would get the snap turn and fire it in front of the receiver with the CB on the 5 yard line so the receiver could catch it and get going for at least 3 or 4 yards. Brissett threw it like an ally oop pass and by the time Waddle adjusted to it the CB was already in the end zone to wrap him up. Poorly executed.
Piggy – how is NYC ever going to get past the pandemic. Most every city in the world is opening up and NY laws are segregating people by vaccinated and non vaccinated. That’s the wrong direction pal. Also axing 72,000 Healthcare workers because they aren’t vaccinated is also the wrong direction. You reap what you sow.
The cast majority of Nyers are vaccinated. A small % of people in the city are not. I don’t think that’s an issue for nyc. I think foot traffic from a workforce that now understands how to work from home is a huge issue
Ken, the unrest is over, not the result of it. NYC is the city that never sleeps. But they’re done by 10PM?
Biden is in office now, there is no more unrest. Everything is peachy keen. The Democrats still control the city and on the national level the Dems control the presidency, senate and house. The perfect storm. I’m looking forward to utopia too. 😉
Unrest has nothing to do with why places were closed. It’s because of the Covid restrictions
Cardinals clinch the 2nd WC and our win streak reaches 17, the longest streak in the NL since 1938.
We really are playing near perfect baseball. Our defense is the best in the majors and it’s on display every night. We have 3 guys with 30+ HRs, and we also play excellent smallball, tacking on extra runs inning after inning in game after game with a combination of speed and consistently doing the little things like moving runners and plating runs on sacrifices.
A few nights ago we scored a run from 2nd base on a sacrifice fly without an error.
The Giants/ Dodgers fight for the division is a pretty crucial one. With the topnotch season they’ve both had, neither of these teams wants to have their WS hopes hinge on a one game playoff against us.
I am still nervous about getting out of that WC game though. The one thing this Cards team doesn’t have is that clutch dominant pitcher. We’ve had very solid pitching during this streak, but if we get into a 2-1 game, I’m not sure we have that one starting pitcher we can count on to keep a strong lineup like the Dodgers from scoring runs. I think it’ll have to be our offense that carries the day if we want to advance.
Just in time to start losing. LOL
being from the sacramento area, shouldn’t you be rooting for the giants?
When I was a kid, I liked the Cardinals uniforms and I thought Ozzie doing backflips at the start of some games was the coolest thing ever. Been a Cardinals fan ever since.
I have kinda goofy reasons for all my favorite teams. I’m a Dolphins fan because my dad was a Niners fan, and the first football game I took any interest in was the Super Bowl against the Niners. I became a Dolphins fan to spite my dad, lol.
Thanks M
I have been weaning myself back in slowly. Lol
before the safety i called a qb sneak figuring that’s what they would do, from the 6 inch line you work out of a spread & run the qb sneak, get a couple of yards then give it to a RB on 2nd down up the middle.if you have created enough room for your punter you try to pick up the 1st on 3rd down, if not you run it again to achieve room for your punter.
situational football, backed up like that you go with the percentages, the safety was the difference in the game, clearly a coaching mistake.
yes agreed
Mike, i read somewhere that Rousseau had 3 sacks, but double checked and saw he only has 2.
and yes, they both came against the Dolphins, but that is 2 more than the Dolphins first round pick Phillips
I knew Rousseau would be an impact player , right out of the gate, and was hoping the FIns would draft him, but im still hoping Phillips becomes one also
unfortunately, im having doubts as to how good our development of players is right now
Piggy – Right next to door to NYC is Hoboken, and Hoboken is ALIVE!!! It’s thriving, and I was a little nervous that the Dem goon in NJ, Murphy would follow NYC as he has numerous times, but it’s a damn good thing he hasn’t! Asbury Park, Belmar, all thriving now that COVID restrictions are gone. NYC is fucked, they’re taking a political stance by banning non-vaccinated people from dining and absurdly firing over 70,000 health care workers, many of whom helped them get through the pandemic in the first place. Shameful!!
i already read Piggys comments, which im sure is closer to reality,
im not quick to jump onto anger or fear comments about covid, just logical ones
but the story reveals that some people are irresponsible and get others sick, thats shameful and is prolonging the epidemic!
Closer to reality? WTF do you know??? My son LIVES in Hoboken, and it’s FACT! I’ve been there a bunch of times, and I’ve also been to Asbury Park, which is also doing really well. This is not opinion, it’s the way it is. Oh, and once again, anyone who has 1, 2 or even 3 shots can still get COVID and still spread COVID so irresponsible doesn’t really fit here. Some of the 72K health care workers helped get NY through the worst and now they’re out on their ass because they don’t want to get the vaccine. Would you think maybe someone who has been through what they have might have a better perspective and understanding of the vaccine than you do? NYC is a ghost town because of Mayor Bill de Blasio and because of former Governor Andrew Cuomo.
it looks like Rousseau got 2 sacks in preseason also, which makes 4 total
https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/players/playerpage/2966977/gregory-rousseau
there shouldnt be a political stance on personal health, and spreading diseases to others IMO
its more of a moral responsibility to keep our families and coworkers safe, and not spread the disease by intent, or ignorance
People who are vax’ed are also spreaders. It’s been said/proven time and again. Vax only helps your body fight it better. It’s science not ignorance. One of my scalloping buddies got COVID and gave it to his wife. Both were vax’ed. She was sick about 3 days he was sicker. He actually was in hospital 3 days cause for some reason he went into a-fib. They got his heart beating right and a week later he was better but then his son got it who was also vax’ed. He is just now getting over it.
according to Revelations , the prophet John claims that 1/4 of the worlds population passes away from famine, wars, and diseases
unfortunately, he may be proven correct
Look no farther than the world elites. They want to depopulate the world. COVID is just a test run.
China is taking over the middle east and South China Sea. The elites are buying up all the farm land.

How was Gaffigan? He’s one of my top comedians
Have you ever taken a single shit that you had to question the capacity of your toilet ? Wow man 🐕💩
Yep!
Damn.. I almost felt the need to stand up. 😳
Almost everyday! Glad they charge sewer by the amount of water use and not by the pounds of poop. lol
No doubt.
No, but I have been proud enough to leave my business card in it.
😆

————————————-
I remember that
OK I’m done talking shit . 💩
So ur-in(e) for the rest of the day
Clever..😎👍
Been there with you dog about the toilet bowl
Well sorry for bringing that up!
And still don’t have an answer!!!!!!
You got the disease. War/famine to come??? They are paying farmers to not plant or even destroy crops. Though, when you listen to someone on the left explain it, they will say, farmers are paid in order to “farm differently”. Which is BS.
Wheat up 60% in first three months of Biden
Corn up 35%
Beans up 66%
bean oll up 100%
Beef up 40%
Chicken up 25%
Don’t need to mention gasoline.
“Look no farther than the world elites. They want to depopulate the world. COVID is just a test run.”
“China is taking over the middle east and South China Sea. The elites are buying up all the farm land.”
Forgot to say elites AND CHINA are buying up farm land.
Famine, wars, disease you say….
Tim, I need one of your “The sky is not falling speeches”. lol
Oh but as my father would say “ We’re going to hell in a hand basket “ !
Still don’t know what that means but it kind of made sense when he said it. 🧐
That sums it up.
The world is the safest and most peaceful it’s ever been.
That doesn’t mean bad stuff isn’t happening.
Tell that to the families of the 13 dead and many wounded in the Afghan exit or the aid worker and seven children who were murdered. You know, the incident where Biden believes he did such a great job like Clinton and Benghazi.
I know you said it doesn’t mean bad stuff isn’t happening.
Bad shit always happens.
No need for dramatics. It doesn’t change what I said.
That’s been the case for at least 5 years, probably 15? Outside of hysteria and propaganda, no major safety issue or war has occurred. I hope it lasts. Our military industrial complex needs curbed.
It’s just a shame (a crime) what they are doing to these healthcare workers. A year ago these same people were praised as American Hero’s by the media, celebrities, politicians and the entire nation. Now the unvax’ed healthcare workers are being blackballed (cancelled) by the same people who called them hero’s less than a year ago.
The majority of them battled COVID and then went right back to work when cleared working ridiculous hours. They have natural immunity where many have higher immunity than those who are vax’ed. Yet, they are sent to pasture.
BUT, let’s let well over a million (and counting) illegal aliens into the country and give them A CHOICE to get vax’ed or not (the huge majority refuse vax) and spread them around the country.
BTW, there is another waive of 15,000+ headed to the boarder and, NOW, they are going to fire Border Agents in October if they are not vax’ed. However, still give the illegals crossing a choice to get vax’ed or not.
Some stupid fucked up shit going on.
It’s not a shame, short of somenone with a legit religious exemption or immune compromised, it’s a small percentage of workers who are just stubborn
They are basically engaging in malpractice by not getting vax Ed and dealing with elderly and sick people all day
It’s no more a shame than it is when a doctor gets sued for leaving his surgery tools in some ones stomach after surgery
Healthcare workers who are in acces are just up picking up a paycheck and don’t actually care about the health of the people around them
And please for the love of god – stop making everything a Segway to how upset you are about the border. American rejected Trump border policies. Deal with it.
And this is why everything is so fucked up right now. Floyd is a thing of the past and they want to use vax to divide the country now. It’s working.
How is it “malpractice” when someone who has had COVID has just as good antibodies or better than one who is vax’ed.
A vax’ed healthcare worker can transmit COVID to their patients just as easily as an unvax’ed healthcare worker. I guess that’s malpractice as well. There’s no logic in that. Maybe soon, we start seeing people file law suits against someone they got COVID from who is unvax’ed. SMH
I am only talking about this shit cause I know MikeE will kill this blog with a Colts vs Dolphins writeup.
sb7, I know, that’s why I tried to acknowledge what you said.
SB7:
Jim Gaffigan was excellent as usual. 2nd time I have seen him live. He is also one of my favorite comedians as well
In better news, the Dolphins are 1-2, 1-1 in the division, 1 game out of first in division (- tiebreaker) and 1 game out of WC race with the 0-3 Colts coming to town.
I didn’t realize the colts were 0-3
They are struggling. Wentz has been underwhelming but he is still talented
At this point, Wentz is the nightmare all GMs fear on draft day. He’s talented but it’s not translated well at all. He better enjoy that ring, it’s going to be lonely unless something changes.
He had a couple of really good years but I think the injuries have taken a toll on him. He looks gunshy to me. He has taken a lot of hits in his short career
Very true Ken and it’s definitely not all on him. I’m just talking about how his career arc has happened so far. It’s sad but I also see that shyness and I don’t think he will turn it around but I’m wrong a lot and hope I am this time…starting in Week 5
Agree. I kind of always liked but want to see him struggle at least one more week
“When the 2021 NFL schedule came out in May, the Raiders were dealt a brutal opening slate with their first three games coming against the Ravens, Steelers and Dolphins. On paper, that part of the schedule seemed like a nightmare with all three of those teams winning 10 or more games last year (The Ravens went 11-5, the Steelers went 12-4 and the Dolphins finished 10-6).
Despite the long odds — the Raiders were only favored to win in one of the three games — Las Vegas still came out on top all three times, which allowed them to make NFL history. The three wins marks the first time ever that a team has started 3-0 with each of their wins coming against a team that won 10 or more games the previous year.
Teams have opened the season with three straight wins against playoff teams from the prior year — the Rams just accomplished that feat this season — but no team had ever done what the Raiders just did.”
———————————
No safety, doink or call PI when the refs should have and we beat them in LV.
Are we all that bad???
Just because of the Bills blowout?
Honestly, right now we are. Our offense is terrible. I think we’ll get a lot better especially when the schedule eases up. The Steelers haven’t looked great either so we have a lot of company.
The reason we’re terrible is, because everything is a struggle right now due to the problems at OL, if Tua was the QB we could minimize that weaknesses, but until Brissett throws the ball downfield we won’t be able to run or pass without a struggle
Definitely the main reason. Much like Piggy, I question the 2 OC approach and the guys doing it. I’m also worried about Tua’s and Dieter’s ability to read incoming pressure Hopefully all these issues go away by the latest in Game 7. Indy is a worse team than us but I could see them winning this game. That’s not good. We have to win the games we are expected to.
More injury news for the Colts
Wentz ankles
Hilton making progress,
Nelson’s ankle a problem
RB Marlon Mack have agreed to mutually seek a trade,
I just fucking clogged the toilet. I blame dog.
In my case, I blame Casadore’s Mexican restaurant, Hungry Howie’s Pizza, Whataburger, and the China King. Got the China King last night. I get a family meal for 3 for wife and I. You get 3 entree’s, 3 egg rolls, a ton of pork fried rice and wonton soup for $21.95. …and I wonder why I’m getting fat.
LOL
I guess you believe in NOT giving CITIZENS the right to choose. Firing them and ending their careers because they will not conform. Careers they have dedicated years of their lives to.
But, NONCITZENS coming here illegally get the right to choose to get vax’ed or not, get free housing, free healthcare and welfare.
Are these healthcare workers, border patrol agents, police officers, etc going to get free housing, free healthcare and welfare?
Fuck no, they won’t even get unemployment.
American rejected Trump border policies. Deal with it.
————————
No, your Dem’s rejected it just because it was Trumps policy. Go ahead and ignore the fact that those policies were working very well. Now border is worst in decades and your WH would rather cater to noncitizens.
You mean the party that won the election?
That’s what elections are for. People spoke out against it. Let’s not pretend immigration was not a huge issue in 2020 when people
Voted. I.e. a lot of people disagree with you on this topic
I don’t want to debate it. I probably am going to ignore
Most responses. I know I already won when I watch you guys get angrier and angrier about the same issues you lost on.
Getting more upset about the same thing isn’t going to win you any elections. Persuading people that you are right will – but that’s not what you do when you casually insert a topic into something unrelated
Bringing up immigration in the context of healthcare workers being vaxed or not is like a crack addict announcing that they need more crack at an insurance seminar. It’s like an addiction to the anger over the topic.
Let’s not debate who won the election
What I see happening is the dems taking a page out of a marketing campaigns playbook
Let’s treat existing customers/voters like shit and pander to the new customers/ voters/illegal immigrants
Are you people really that blind to the immigration/new voters issue? Or maybe you like it since most will be for the free shit dems
Yes, before the election due to media pushing the “illegals in cages” narrative but, now after the election, many more (now) disagree with you.
I know I already won
—————————-
You haven’t “won” shit. That’s a joke and right along the line of Biden saying the Afghan exit was a glaring success.
It amazes me that someone so smart can be so brainwashed.
We did win
The election is over. You have to deal with the results. I don’t have to spend anytime explaining it when I can see how mad Biden’s decisions are making you
And how can you call something a narrative out of one side of your mouth while juxtaposing why you think Trump was effective on immigration out of the other side. You know they both handle immigration differently. It’s not a narrative. There are clearly differences that Americans voted on. Deal with it.
Steve we don’t have to debate who won the election – it’s settled
trump lost Arizona a half of dozen times already despite still fundraising on it
The fact that you think they are pandering to immigrants instead of pandering to me is the problem here. I’m way ahead of Democrats on immigration. I have much more agressice views on how it should be handled. Democrats aren’t even close and republicans are on the other side of the galaxy
And my vote and people like me that think like me are voted that count. I expect my politicians to pander to me – that’s what being a representative govt is about
The fact that you think it’s a strategy to gain votes from
Noncitizens shows how little you understand about immigration
Asylum claims will take years to process. When/if they are granted, an applicant doesn’t get citizenship, they get legal
residency and won’t be eligible to apply for citizenship ship for another 3 years at least
It’s not possible that people that are being let in now can legally vote by 2022. It’s more like 10 years before that happens. And those votes are just as much up fro grabs for democrats as they are republicans. Either party can pander to legal immigrants and either party should as far a sinam concerned .
Ideally a couple with 50/50 splits across race and national origin is ideal to me. But that takes catering aka pandering to issues that base wants
For instance, Haitians have voted strongly for republicans in the last election and the recent waive of asylum seekers are Haitians – but now you guys are blowing it.
You guys go to great length to not undertake that plenty of Americans disagree with you and I Never get it. I know plenty of Americans disagree with me about immigration or healthcare or the environment or the pandemic
I don’t call it a secret plot, a narrative or whatever
I deal with the fact that people disagree with each other and the only thing that matters is how a majority feels on the subject
No fumble in New England and we are looking at 0-3.
Yeah, there’s that way to look at it also. Was trying to build up some hope for the rest of the first half of the season.

LOL Rock, I know how you feel. He drops a new one this Friday. I will post it just for you so you can remind me it’s garbage. lol
The music not the message specifically. The music is garbage. it has the musical talent of an unbalanced washing machine in the spin cycle.
lol. Did he fall sleep on that pile of newspapers?
I know lots of people think the pass to Waddle that led to the safety was a bad call. And I agree given the risk from the endzone.
But one part haven’t seen thrown in is that Raiders CB Casey Hayward had a bang up play. He was lined up way out, broke immediately and got their real quick. He reacted to it so well that you wouldn’t have expected it.
It was a bang up play but also seemed like an easy one to read for the DB. Couple that with the floater of a pass instead of getting it to him quickly.
And execution with the floater might have been the capper. My guess is when they drew that one up thought was Waddle would meet the CB at the 2 or 3 with some speed and then either get tackled or break one.
I can produce a better beat by throwing a pair of sneakers in the dryer.
LOL
“The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn’t exist”—Charles Baudelaire.
The greatest trick the right ever pulled was convincing their following that everything they don’t like to hear is “fake news” Meanwhile you deify a buffoon who was documented telling 30,000+ lies and then attack the fact checkers as fake as well. YOU have been brainwashed.
What’s always interested me is the more a person knows the media does not report what is happening, the more they tend to know what is happening.
If you know the news is fake seems the natural reaction would be “can’t trust what the news says… who knows what is going on?”
All Bullshit aside, what do you think of Bidens first several months in office?
If you want an honest answer I will tell you;
I love all the stuff he has done that pisses off conservatives
And I hate all the things that could have been done that would piss them off more
Not bc I am eager to piss anyone off but bc I fundamentally find myself disagreeing with conservatives on nearly every topic lately
And that’s what people seem to miss. The things you hate about him are not so divisive to the people who supported him in his run for presidency. Most of us say “not enough”. The biggest criticism Biden faced from democrats and many independents is “not enough”.
About what I expected, but then didn’t expect too much. Have a greater feeling of calm with him in the Oval office though and appreciate that. Like how has worked out with his legislative agenda, especially what he has given up on.
You guys are unbelievable
What would you be saying, if those people left behind in Afghanistan were you or someone you knew?
The govt should provide safety first, they aren’t doing that
I suppose inflation is ok too or that we aren’t energy independent any longer
Good and good
Now we should kill them with WR screens In our Own end zone and shovel passes to gesicki
Who wants to throw a shovel pass to gesicki with me and then claim to be taking what the defense is giving them?
Anyone?
What defense gave you that shit?
That doesn’t apply to the taking what the D is giving you
It’s a play used to slow down the passrush, by making them have to think, instead of pinning their ears back
Although – I agree it’s there to slow down the pass rush
It’s a play that doesn’t read the defense and react
It’s a throw away play a lot of the time
If you do it in some limited situations – fine but it was a bit too much for my taste
And the thing is, when people criticize playcalling, they are talking about plays like this too – so defending the playcalling by saying “we take what the defense gives us” doesn’t address the underlying bad decision (or perception thereof) of calling that play
It obviously doesn’t pertain for the reasons
you said, but in that case Studsville didn’t give a good answer to the question
Keep your eyes on this situation = here’s an old story I know that sells

Definitely the main reason. Much like Piggy, I question the 2 OC approach and the guys doing it. I’m also worried about Tua’s and Dieter’s ability to read incoming pressure Hopefully all these issues go away by the latest in Game 7. Indy is a worse team than us but I could see them winning this game. That’s not good. We have to win the games we are expected to.
****
Fwiw
My position was undercut when we received an answer that 1 person is calling the plays and it’s Godsey (I posted a Barry jackson tweet about this yesterday)
I still don’t like 2 OCs but my criticism is sort of reduced to two things
1. It probably affects communication when you don’t have a clear directive from a clear leader
2. What the fucking point of a co-oc that doesn’t call plays?

Steve, that would take several hours of discussion. I, unlike many, do not just blindly accept what the “party” says. Not being a member of either party I look at each issue independently. Personally I do not like the man. I think he was a poor choice for the Dems to put up. He has made multiple mistakes IMO and pushed agendas I am against (me being a small government / fiscal conservative) I would have to discuss each issue on it’s own and will not do that on this blog. Would be happy to sit with you over a 12 pack and discus for hours each item that comes up. but not here.
Gotta love Jake in Boston…wonder how much it cost him.

It was probably a better investment than the “Fire Ireland” banner they flew over Miami years back.
The price of that plane banner run was in articles back then. Surprisingly cheap. Just making up based on my impression then….. maybe 8k. Lots of people have that kind of money to throw around.
I still think the offensive philosophy for this team is to have a ball control scheme by throwing short to intermediate passes to RB/TE/Slot WRs and the occasional deep ball. Ball control used to mean running a lot, but it doesn’t anymore. Teams do it with a quick passing game. Brady did it for years. It fits Tua better than a vertical passing game. It jives with the roster moves we saw them make the last few years. Its easier on your young OL. And, I think Flores wants to replicate what he saw work in NE. Keep it a low scoring game, let your defense hunt and limit TOs. If your offense can only score 24 points, that’s okay because your defense will hold the opponent to 21.
***
We simply haven’t done it so far.
Not bc I am eager to piss anyone off but bc I fundamentally find myself disagreeing with conservatives on nearly every topic lately
What displeases me most is the former guy constantly had me defending liberals which drove me crazy. Now because I was always forced into being the only reasonable person in the room I have been labeled a Liberal which I am not. I see Stanger, who self identifies as a conservative taking shit on here all the time and having to defend himself, people calling him a Liberal. I assume that folks think of me as a Democrat and Liberal as well. I’m not.
Being a first generation immigrant, who came to this country undocumented tends to lean my sympathies toward immigrants. So I depart from the “Conservative line” (but boy do the conservative right business owners love their cheep labor!!)
Having gay / lesbian / trans-gender family members tends to lean my sympathies that direction. But I don’t think we need to legislate stupidity either. NO the US government should NEVER pay for elective surgeries. NO to breast implants and NO to sexual reassignment surgeries.
Do we need better border security? YES! As wall that blocks off usage of the river that serves as the boarder? NO it’s stupid.
Well I made a point of saying that first line bc I want to make it clear
I have no interest in “owning conservatives” in the same
Way we heard “owning the libs” every time Trump did something that angered liberals
That’s not what I want to do personally and it’s no way to run a functional govt
But my point is that a lot of the things that conservatives here are getting angrier and angrier about (especially immigration) doesn’t really work
Up a lot of people – particularly independents, the same way it works them up
And that’s a real problem for republicans that I have no interest in sugar coating. It’s a party that has been successful
Recently by throwing red meat to its base instead of appealing to independents
It’s exactly why somenone like stranger has to defend calling himself a Republican (which is crazy)
I am also a registered independent who has in the last voted for republicans and I’m really cautious to say that seeing what stranger faces – but those of you who have followed my political posts before Trump
Know that I favored a multi-party system…but my biggest fear is that republicans continue this path and I really only have one choice at all
If we had 4 parties and one of them dug their teeth into “border crisis” every few weeks, they would be my least favorite party, I can promise you that, the fact that it’s a Republican standard now – means I can never support republicans and I didn’t always feel that way
Rock — guess it is the new world. You are against Trump and Trumpism and that means those folks brand you a liberal. Which is really strange cause only one-third of people are really pro-Trump yet no moderates? But maybe simple labels work for them.
Rock – Trump was a huge liar, we all knew it. I think it’s scarier that people legitimately think Biden is honest. He’s just as huge a liar, much less of a braggart.
“just as huge a liar” — let’s talk about that one at the Fest.
I’m not concerned at all with having 2 OCs. People are focusing way too much on who’s calling the plays on game day. I told you guys months ago it would be one guy…not two. But, in designing the game plan during the week for Sundays, it’s a collaborative effort. Does it really matter that they have 2 OCs working on a game plan during the week? No, because there are probably 5 different people involved in that process anyway.
***
My problem so far is the play calling has been kind of unfocused. This offense has to start dictating to defenses and stop reacting….regardless of how the OL performs. But hey….the guy calling plays has never done it before, I think. Again, the inexperience on this team in many phases is pretty evident.
My argument concerning if the 2 OCs was largely about lack of focus on the offense
I see that too
I tend to think it’s a product of having two OCs
The inexperience on this team is tolerable to me. I expect it. I’m a little hesitant to criticize Austin Jackson to much bc I knew he was raw when we drafted him –
But the lack of organization on offense is a little bit troubling to me
It’s also the hardest thing to put a finger on
Ok, political blog today! Time to go back to work. Go Dolphins!
Rock – did your family immigrate here legally?
https://www.pnas.org/content/117/51/32340
Crime rate amongst illegal aliens is very low. See above
No kidding! Lol
FYI though I appreciate your post but I always say
Asylum is not illegal nor are people waiting for an asylum application and the people we are talking about from the earlier posts were admitted pending an asylum claim
Asylum is legal immigration one of the very few available to many people
You are correct
How do you keep statistics of people you don’t have records of?
There is pretty good meta data that can be used to extrapolate from so as to establish a pretty good estimate. From various government agencies including local boards of education, social welfare agencies and other non government organizations that provide services to immigrants
You do have records of arrests
And you have record of whether some who is arrested was indemnified as a citizen or not
It’s a pretty reliable statistic if you are taking recorded arrests, recorded convictions (which are recorded) and comparing them to estimates population as a whole
I appreciate questions stats bc so many are out out there with an agenda
And I always question them even when I like them
but the number of arrests and convictions isn’t so fluid that it can’t be recorded. Convictions are documents as are most arrests. What you are guessing on is the population and what Ken said gives you an idea of how that is derived
Even though undocumented, they have the arrest records to help determine that. Problem with that is you don’t know how many undocumented there are.
Damn, owe Piggy a beer on a day when he gave me a conservative wedgy. That sucks. lol
But we do have a good estimate of how many undocumented there are from the meta data I referred to above
I don’t disagree, Ken. The vast majority are looking for a better life. Is escaping poverty a justification for asylum?
Honest question.
Honestly I think it is. That is exactly what so many of our ancestors did. I know that is what mine did
No
It’s has long been held not a basis for asylum
At an asylum hearing a person needs to show
“You are unable or unwilling to return to your home country because you have been persecuted there in the past or have a well-founded fear that you will be persecuted if you go back.”
“The reason you have been (or will be) persecuted is connected to one of five things: your race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or your political opinion.”
That has long been the law on asylum for decades now
There are 5 grounds of “persecution” and financial
Hardship isn’t one of them but sometimes that is flexiae and does change from Administration to administration
These questions are the questions the are settled by an asylum hearing
If some one loses, they get deported
If somenone doesn’t show up at a hearing – they default and can be deported (when they are found)
People who lose asylum hearings and remain in the country are the tie definition of an “illegal”
People that win become residents
And can begin the path to citezenship with a few years of residency
The tough questions are really what to do with people pending an asylum claim and that’s where you see
Enormous differences in administrations IMO
FYI Ken. I was posting this as you answered
It’s not – sorry to blow up your game. Lol
The standards from the time when immigration was mostly Europeans until now have changed quite a bit. in some instances they swing back and forth
But I think it should be too. However this is something I think reasonable minds can differ on
I’m on the fence but sympathetically feel as you. Something does need to be done about the ones who have been here a long time and established themselves as hardworking contributors to our communities.
I say this because the foreman and all his workers who did my roof are undocumented. The foreman has been here 6 years both his kids born here. They all are paid under the table cash and pay no taxes. Don’t know how the roofing company can do that. Maybe you business owners can enlighten me.
Thanks for the clarification Piggy. I am still somewhat sympathetic as I have been to many of these countries they are coming from. Not as a tourist, but in the military and seen first hand how the lower half live.
The roofing company can’t do that
And this is the source of the problem
Some one who is not a citizen can be assigned an EIN and pay taxes. In fact they even pay into social security even though they won’t get it
But if an employer pays somenone under the table – that won’t happen
Also just remember even though some one who is paid under the table doesn’t pay taxes from their Salary (bc it’s not recorded) they pay taxes on every thing they purchase – sales taxes. So even when people don’t pay taxes from
Their paycheck, a state can derive a huge amount of tax revenue from sales taxes if people Who are undocumented
So hint hint wink wink – why don’t states like Florida and Texas with no state Texas look the other way at employers who do this….eh they are making money off it too
I agree…mostly because I’m agreeable.
A civilized ape
LOL hey what is in that pipe.
https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2021/09/the-vaccinated-arent-just-as-likely-to-spread-covid/620161/
Vaccinated people are not as likely to spread Covid. See above
It’s ridiculous that article even had to be written, but guess it had too cause of the “vaccinated can spread Covid too” by the antivaxxers. Unvaccinated are 4.5 times more likely to get Covid. And yes the vaxed can spread, but you have to get it to spread it.
Exactly
I don’t disagree with the article, if you are talking about someone who is unvaccinated and never had COVID (No antibodies). What bothers me is natural immunity is being ignored and those people are grouped with antivaxxers when they should be in the same group as the vaccinated.
Must be tough being part of a minority group….. but I’m all for you man. People with natural antibodies at sufficient levels should be treated the same as the vaxed.
I would be okay antibody testing in lieu of vaccinations so long as there is an accepted of what level of antibodies is necessary for a competent immune response

Rock – did your family immigrate here legally?
Reply
Yes, my mother had her work permit, had my older sister and older brother here, went back to Canada on vacation while pregnant with me and I came a month early. I was delivered by my grandmother’s neighbor in the guest bedroom. Then mom came back to Florida with her new baby……
No birth certificate, no papers, just a baby. It wasn’t an issue until they tried to enter me in kindergarten and needed my “papers”. All my siblings are natural born US citizens born of Canadian parents. I’m the only problem child.
Quebec didn’t even keep birth records in ’69. The church kept birth and death records at the time.
10’s of thousands of $ later I have a green card, but NOT enough to get my citizenship.
Ah, so your the next best thing that came from Canada, 2nd to Tom MacDonald. 😉
Nah, Shania Twain got you both beat.
LOL, I am sure I am WAY down that list of “Best thing” probably in the 100,000’s. LOL
I HAVE paid over a million in income tax over my lifetime so there is that…..
immigration lawyers are not cheep…..
Which is part of the problem.
Ken,
Much like in our overall population, if you keep the bad ones in jail, the numbers look better for the rest. It’s much like Bill Clinton’s crime reduction push really helped lower crime. Here’s some data from other sources.
https://thehill.com/opinion/immigration/407312-one-in-five-us-prison-inmates-is-a-criminal-alien
https://www.lawenforcementtoday.com/revealed-illegal-aliens-make-up-more-than-11-of-inmate-population/
There are a lot of bad people…including a lot of illegal immigrants. America is the Land of Opportunity for all…including a huge number of illegal immigrants. It’s just part of human nature but there are a disproportionate number according to these sources.
I’m not trying to paint all Latinos in this light but I’m not a fan of illegal immigration. If you want more people from south of our border, adjust overall legal immigration to accomplish this. We bring in a lot of legal immigrants and I’d prefer most of them from those areas, but it should be done legally. You shouldn’t be rewarded for breaking laws every country has and enforces.
To be clear I am not supporting illegal immigration. I believe that immigration should be done and as piggy pointed the majority of the large wave of immigrants are trying to do it legally. That doesn’t mean all should be given asylum. I also believe for those that are currently here illegally there should be a pathway to legal residency
I’m all for legal immigration but not a path for any here except the previously named DACA grouping and for only the ages that originally applied. You can’t just reward this or it will not stop. There must be a form of punishment as well which is deportation. No one will stop if we always do what Reagan did.
If it’s just part of human nature than it’s an argument to treat all humans the same, which isn’t down by singling out immigrants on the topic
Human nature in that some people will always act bad and some will do good in all groups. These immigrants are singled out for many reasons but one reason is the illegal drug trade and we can’t just ignore that. This data says there is a higher percent of criminals in this group and we can’t ignore that either. I know there are other reasons but every single nation guards their borders for a reason. Having an open border is a huge security and safety issue. We need a stable border and for these people to not be allowed in no matter their nationality, race, religion, etc. It must be done legally.
Squirrel!
Ronald Reagan signed an executive order while in office that allowed me to stay and got me past the worst of my documentation problems. But fuck Compassionate Conservatives…..
I gave my two cents on some politics last night and I’m not interested in continuing with it. I’m tired of people turning a blind eye about things that actually happen. As we’ve all said before, nothing we discuss here is going to change anything anyway.
So anything new about what the Dolphins issues are?
Nothing is settled until you give your two cents on this
Wow!!! Well done.
front door is wide open. I thought for sure the gator was going to turn left and run right into his house!! LOL
No way would I ever do that. Dude has balls, or maybe a low appreciation of risk/reward.
Meh, not that impressive.
We do the same thing out here in Cali, except it’s usually soda bottles and other recyclables we’re trapping in the bin. But we don’t do it the p^ssy way this guy is. In Cali, we take the recyclables by the scruff of the neck and throw them into the can, not the other way around, smh.

It figured I have him on one of my fantasy teams
Reporter question to Ben Sasse — “We want to know: what do you think about what Matt Gaetz said, about what AOC said, about what Marjorie Taylor Greene did.”
Senator Sasse’s answer — “And I don’t give a shit. Like the – in a republic, nobody should care about that. You just named three people who aren’t serious adults.”
That’s a conservative Republican would like to see be President.
I would like to see a moderate republican party someday. I don’t mind conservative fiscal views but their views on social issues are outdated and it’s not going back to the days of “Leave it to Beaver”.
4 parties!
What would those 4 parties be?
lol
Sasse is a Republican that this Democrat would be comfortable with in a position of power
He is as a Senator. 😉
You know what I mean Tim 🤨
Just trying to keep things lighthearted. 🙂
I just can’t figure out why the democrats hate America so much.
Not my experience at all. If was gonna hit on them would be for being misguided in a Pollyanna way. Do you catch hate from them?
Is the he kind of stuff republicans come up with when they aren’t raiding the capitol and threatening civil war? 😛
I guess they pulled me back in. The “insurrection” was totally idiotic. But it’s funny when people challenge the government like that, it’s “oh my god the horror.” When rioting and looting in the streets in cities all over the country against civilians, police and other civil servants for months, it’s “well people are angry”.
The civil war was started many years ago by constant propaganda. We’re just seeing it come to life in recent years. Been watching it unfold for too long. It’s funny when you see it happening over the years and then it implodes and everyone wants to know what’s going on?
It’s alright though, in time all this silly and stupid behavior will become a thing of the past as we continue to evolve. There will become a point when all of the dumb shit has nobody’s attention and much bigger things will become the focus. Unfortunately all of us on this blog will be dead by then. LOL
So this is what ORob feels like when he Trolls.
Guys you’ll e excited to know I replayed the Bills and Raiders games n madden and won both by a combined 60 points
So we don’t have any worried going forward
Piggy, I started working on a 4 party system. Now this is just a comp, some ideas of how it could work. Nothing set in stone.
1. The Jerk Party
2. The Doofus“R”Us Party
3. The World Sucks Party
4. The Never Change Party
Again, just humor me, just throwing out some ideas. 🙂
Dammit, I forgot to add my definitions for each. Silly me.
1. The Jerk Party – they don’t care about anyone else, just their own greed.
2. The Doofus“R”Us Party – they think they have great societal ideas but most of it makes no sense.
3. The World Sucks Party – they hate life and will not procreate because the world is a horrible place.
4. The Never Change Party – they learned what they learned and there is no room to learn anything new.
Who wins?
And it’s back to picking the lesser of evils….lol
LOL, yep! The Jerk Party will win every time. Our two party system is The Jerk Party.
Wealth and elitism always rules. Even if they collapse. It will start up again.

Jackson has played only LT. Deiter has played only C along with Hunt at RG all year. Kindley was at LG all year but was benched. You’re making too much out of cross-training.
————
Tim, you’re citing game starts over three games, not how they’ve been (cross) trained since… (ahem) training camp.
I mean, you and I have seen/read pretty much the same thing since the early days of camp (cross-training), yet we come to very different conclusions: I’m baffled by that. Deiter would seem to be our only sure ‘fit’ on the O-Line at Center (and people still blame him for the lack of communication/calls), while everybody else has been shuffled around and SUCK.
I enjoy the convo, actually, and I’m not trying to win some debate… either one of us or even both of us could be wrong. But I think the question becomes: is it about the players or the coaching? I haven’t a concrete answer, but our team had better figure it out soon, man.
The entire offseason was set to be projected this way. You act like we change every position week to week. What because we look at guys at different positions in practice to see what we have in case of injuries or something else and we have to field an OL. Every NFL team does this. The coaches have basically put the same guys at the same position for months and it hasn’t looked so good.
Jackson always plays LT. Hunt has been at RG all offseason into the season. We know he can play RT if he has to because of last year. Kindley has been mainly at LG but got benched. Deiter started off much like Eichenberg as a rookie playing anywhere they needed him but he solidified the C position in the offseason and has been there ever since. Other than Davis and Eichenberg, who’s been shuffling?
They’re all young except for Davis and we have not found that solid starting 5. None of us like it. But this shuffling and cross-training you keep mentioning is not anywhere near what you’re suggesting. The simple answer is they’re not that good, at least right now.

Tim, you’re citing game starts over three games, not how they’ve been (cross) trained since… (ahem) training camp…

We can’t seem to find the right fits (again, since training camp), and just last week we had to tweak the O-Line after week 2’s disastrous O-Line.
JMO, but it’s an unmitigated disaster unfolding before our eyes.
Just so we’re clear, I have absolutely ZERO problems cross-training our O-Line cats… but I think we never settled into who should play where until the season started. That’s horrible for gel-time, and as I stated, we had to tweak it again just last week.
Yes, we are young on the O-Line… but that we’ve actually REGRESSED from last season (#29th last year)? That’s embarrassing, man.
M13, I’m disappointed in our OL too. Not sure how many more times I have to say that? The problem is it’s not about cross-training though. They’re not doing their jobs well. Players, coaches or talent evaluators, I’m not sure. Maybe all of it.
I don’t care who the QB is on this team, it won’t be easy for any of them. It seems like every other play gets blown up. Tired of watching that.
YUP! I concur 100%. I’m just trying to figure it out, that’s all. There has to be a rhyme and reason as to why we’re regressing on the O-Line.
You guys aren’t going to believe what just happened! I clicked on the blog and the screen popped up and it went straight to the bottom of the page/last comment. 😂😂😂
Just sayin’… I’d much rather spend my time on this blog trying to fix our team than gripe about politics any longer. At least we can all agree that we want our Phins to win!!!
I’m not sure that is even the consensus here anymore????
It still is no matter how pernickety we get.
What is happening here? LOL
So political talk when there is no football and nothing else to talk about, and now we are in the season, and the same crap, politics and COVID….smh
Cards streak ends at 17. That was a real blast, and gave me a season to remember.
Congrats. Glad we could end it.😉
