Jordyn Brooks had 20 tackles yesterday. Dude comes to play every week and is leading the league in tackles by almost 20. He is by far the most consistant player we have right now.

Just for giggles I looked up Zach Thomas and the most he had in a season was 165. Brooks is at 125 right now with 6 games to go. Unless he gets hurt, he will blow that out way before the 16th game.

I thought that McDaniel was crazy and I would have agreed with you.

But I started thinking about it and the liklihood of winning and you're 3.5% more likely to win the game if you go for the TD, according to Dan Lebatard today.  Granted, those numbers are averages, assuming a completely generic offense and defense.  You don't get to factor in that we're uniquely bad at running for 1 yard or that Mariota is a bum.

But the decision, on paper at least, seems to have been the right one.

And it worked out, so I think I need to eat crow.

You could say many teams are average without their QB, for instance Kansas City and Baltimore are average without their QB's.

But losing Josh would have a larger impact on the team. Without him, they have nothing. I agree with Pappy on this one.

Cardinals
Colts
Bills
Jets
Patriots

I am adding the Patriots because we need them to have clinched the number one seed by week 18.

Our best hope is 9-8. 

Having the Patriots resting their starters will help.

If Rodgers is done for the year, that will help.

Easily McDaniel, the Dolphins won in spite of his poor calls.  Less than two minutes in a tie game, with your opponent having zero timeouts and your defense playing well, you KICK the Field Goal and take the lead!!!  Then he also uses Miami's remaining TO's to help Washington.

This isn't news. I think we had the same discussion last year. If it wasn't here it was with my real world friends.

HM's - Gordon II had some nice runs, Jack Jones with the big interception in OT, and Jordyn Brooks continues to make a lot of tackles on defense.

I brought this up to my sister the other day and I don't even feel all that comfortable openly discussing it, because supporting it makes you sound and feel like a pedo.

But this just doesn't sit right with me.  My whole issue with pedos isn't some morality judgment; it's that a minor's right are being violated.  I recognize that there's gray area, but while there is sexual perversion with AI porn, there is no victim.  It just feels like making the attraction against the law, rather than the act.  It plays like thought crime to me.

And not to mention how do you even legislate it?  What constitutes someone looking under 18?  What about drawings or art?  What about literature?  What about fake murder generated by AI?  The whole thing seems like a path I don't like going down.

Welll ... after alienating a lot of his supporters Trump has now decided to support releasing the files.

He really didn't.

He knows it's going to pass the House, so he's telling them to vote yes, because it gives them election cover and it doesn't make his supporters have to split away from him.  It's passing anyway, so now he gets to pretend he's for it.

It still has to:
- be brought up for a vote by a GOP-led Senate.
- get enough GOP votes to pass the Senate.
- Survive an executive veto (which he may or may not do whether or not there are enough votes to override it).

...but even after all that, I will suspect that he will open an investigation in Democrats and then "seal the files" while the investigation is going on, similar to what he did with releasing his tax returns and sealing everything while they were under audit.

This isn't news. I think we had the same discussion last year. If it wasn't here it was with my real world friends.
