Classic Dallas loss. Playing a mediocre-to-bad opponent and get dominated in 4Q. Multiple opportunities to put the game away, on defense AND offense , can't get it done. This team is such a paper tiger, folds under any adversity.
Covid hospitalizations in TX look up close to 50% in the last two weeks. Is this increase "real," or an artifact of hospitals not doing many discharges over the holiday week?

It seems like an unfortunate time for DSHS to fall back to weekly updates, which they'll be doing tomorrow (Nov. 30) according to the website.
I'm OK with our overall season record but the way we got here was a fucking beating. I feel like each game takes a year off my life (except for OU and Kansas).
I'm glad the team didn't quit because my heart almost did. After that sackfumble by Ewers I would have smashed my TV to bits if it wasn't a brand new OLED.
They are all too nebulous and lacking in machismo or establishing dominance. I'd go with "Biden is kicking Putin's ass up and down Ukraine," except that somehow Republicans who were all hawks on every possible opportunity for war until like 5 years ago, are now just fine with whatever Russia does.
This game may not have quite been an "ass kicking" but it highlighted several major flaws. Dallas' DL and LB were consistently handed their ass by GB's rushing on early downs, which made it that much harder to stop drives. Green Bay is only a midpack rushing team but they dominated the line of scrimmage.
Worse, Dallas' offense (especially passing) mostly scores touchdowns on home-run plays and on big coverage mistakes by the defense. When playing mediocre teams, this is still good enough to rack up a decent number of points, but football is situational and Dallas has great difficulty scoring or getting 1st downs when it matters most.
This was a complete team failure. Dak hits some plays, racks up some points, but is unable to consistently get the KEY completions for touchdowns/first downs that are needed to put any game away. Most of Dallas's "successful" pass plays look improvised or lucky. They can't reliably hit the 8-to-15 yard stuff that you need to sustain drives, or score TDs from first-&-goal. The Dallas running game was tepid in the first half, and then was abandoned just when it seemed like it was starting to work. The defense got a few big plays but again, failed at consistency--gave up way too many run yards on 1st & 2nd down, setting up lots of easy short-yardage 3rd downs. DBs were inconsistent with coverage. How do you fucking lose to a team that lost to Detroit?
You could feel this 4th qtr collapse coming from a mile away. In a lot of ways it was like watching UT play.
Man, in hindsight my parents had it easy. By the time I was 10 I was getting up on my own (nobody "woke me up for school"). making my own "breakfast" (Raisin Bran or a microwaved muffin or biscuit), walking to the nearest school bus stop a half mile away (why do kids today have the bus practically stop in front of every house?), etc. Uphill, in the snow, etc.
To be fair my dad did take me fishing a lot but mainly because it gave him a chance to drink and be away from the wife.
The coverage now seems really sanitized, compared to how I remember crashes and injuries being covered on American TV in the 70s and 80s. ABC's coverage of the Indy 500 routinely showed guys on fire and limp bodies hanging out of shattered racecars, replayed from every possible angle.
It turns out deep space is still really into disco.
With this being an IR telescope, how do they translate that into a visible "color" image? And why do some objects have giant diffraction spikes? I thought that was an optical phenomenon.
If we get to a point where a state legislature sends electors that pick a candidate who didn't win the election, the people of said state need to burn it all down.
Surly today because I have at least SIX partially-full spray bottles of Tilex, Tru Grit Bathroom Cleaner, etc. which I can't use because the spray pump mechanism doesn't work, leaks excessively, or just breaks off. Including two almost full bottles. Now I have a bathroom cabinet full of household haz waste that I can't use or dispose of easily.
When you put caustic chemicals in a plastic spray bottle, for fucks sake use high quality chemical-resistant materials that are appropriate for the fucking job. All the people who design and sell shitty container packaging like this should be EXECUTED and I will happily pull the trigger myself.
