  1. That was happening regardless of Bama potentially winning this game. Nobody outside of Tallahassee wants to see FSU and their backup qb pull a Notre Dame in the playoff semi-finals.
  2. Holding penalty, then 3 straight runs for no gain followed by a fg attempt plz.
  3. Time consuming fg drive by Bama. More shit offense by both sides to end an ugly game with a Bama 6-point win.
  4. Announcers praising the Georgia WR for "playing defense." He did absolutely nothing and the Bama player just dropped it.
  5. It's fluid/piss but I could see it happening. If this was Louisville, TCU, Utah, or some traditional 3rd-tier team, I could see it happening. FSU is a big enough name that they won't get left out if they go undefeated, regardless of how shitty their backup qb looks.
  6. Tua redux from 2018, albeit much lower stakes.
  7. Conference insecurity and money are pretty good reasons. Very little chance he can sustain the current success at Oregon State in the Mountain West/insert 2nd tier conference here. Less television money, even harder to recruit, might as well jump now.
  8. At least one team in each game has played well. Improvement from the typical cripple fight we've seen most Thursday games this year.
  9. Counterpoint (hopefully), before the 2020 Election we had both Brazil elect Bolsonaro in 2018 and the Conservative Party absolutely crush the Labour Party in the UK December 2019 general election. Biden still won. This could just be Argentina's version of 2016. They are pissed off and are willing to give the nutjob a chance because "how could it get worse" or "he'll tone it down once he's in office." The U.S. voters already saw how that worked out first-hand.
  10. Riley really wishing he could have put off firing Grinch till the end of the season. No more scapegoats left and the defense is still absolute trash.
  11. Finishing the season with 3-4 losses has been UCLAs ceiling for 20+ years now. Admin gonna fire Kelly for achieving that while beating USC? He's getting at least another year.
  12. So who did it better: Seattle foisting Russell Wilson on Denver or Green Bay offloading Rodgers to New York?
  13. One step closer to getting Arthur Smith fired for Atlanta fans. He was letting top-10 picks go severely underutilized even before Bijan (Pitts and London). I'd like to believe he finally realized what Bijan could do with more touches (don't need to necessarily make him a workhorse like prime Emmit Smith), but he's probably just doing it because enough people yelled at him behind the scenes and he's out of options. Lose enough to get him fired this offseason and hire someone who will actively look to utilize Bijan, Pitts, and London on a regular basis.
  14. Didn't North Carolina pull a similar stunt with their fake classes and grades a few years ago and basicslly got off with no punishment? Of course in their case they simply said the NCAA wasn't the proper organization to hand out punishment for their diploma mill tactics.
  15. In that case Dak would still somehow have taken the sack and they'd have missed a 45-yard FG on the last play to tie the game. Because that's how it works.
  16. Dallas (Jerry) apparently still insists on giving rbs touches based on how much they get paid as opposed to how they'd be most effective. It's maddening. He waits till the season after the injury to give Pollard touches because that's when he's getting paid more.
  17. Counterpoint, by the time of the last sack, there was ample evidence that Dak shouldn't be relying on the RT position and should pay more attention to a rush getting to him quickly from that direction.
  18. Mario Cristobal is feverishly taking notes.
  19. Again, that crowd, and probably other crowds around the U.S. depending on circumstance, should be dispersed and possibly arrested. At the same time, no one should be surprised at these situations when the government does everything short of cheer on an ongoing genocide. The options here are not only let genocide slide or claim Israel has no right to defend itself.
  20. Out of line? Yes. But at the same time it looks pretty shitty of Biden to largely sit back while borderline genocide is happening. Maybe he's using stronger language behind the scenes, but publicly it sure looks like he's just going through the motions of asking for Israel to pull back a bit. Like a parent asking a fussy toddler to behave once, and when they say no, throwing up their hands and saying "I tried, what more do you want me to do?"
  21. 10-7 or 9-8 with a lopsided loss in the WC round appears to be a mortal lock for Pittsburgh for the 4th-5th season in a row.
  22. ...yeah maybe I should stop overthinking things and just roll with the guy setting records. My track record of proposed trades isn't great this year. I offered up CMC and AJ Brown after week 4 for Bijan and Tyreek Hill (could stack Hill with Tua at qb) because I was convinced Shanahan was overusing CMC (true) and that he'd fall apart before the season ended (still time for this to happen, but in the meantime...hello more records). Bullet dodged.
  23. Trade proposal, non-ppr: Give up A.J. Brown and Jahmyr Gibbs Get Ja'Marr Chase and Isiah Pacheco Initial reaction was I'd rather keep Brown and Gibbs, but now I'm not so sure. Chase and Brown are largely a wash now that Burrow is healthy IMO, and I have to assume Montgomery and Gibbs split time after this week (bye week). Montgomery was too effective prior to the rib injury to just hand the backfield over to Gibbs. I have Burrow as well, so I'd be stacking him with Chase going forward. Thoughts?
  24. Urban?* *Need to fake near-death health issue(s) and change schools.
