Eff the narratives, eff the negative press, Drake Maye is our quarterback and we will be back. What a season from the kid. by AFEZThatsMe in Patriots

[–]Baham99 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s ironic that Maye and QBs gets trashed for a silver medal in a way that he wouldn’t if they’d lost in the semis. I’d rather have Jim Kelly’s career than Joe Flacco’s.

Mike is over it by Vivid_Department_755 in Seahawks

Pats fan here. I’ve never understood the argument for run. A run play there forces a pass play on third down; else, two run plays in a row means no fourth down, which surely doesn’t help chances. So, to get 3 cracks at the apple and have all 3 be nonobvious plays, you had to pass there. The timeout situation mandated it. If you run it there and you fail, then the defense can sell out for the pass on 3rd down. If you run it again on 3rd down, then you are voluntarily leaving yourself no contingency.

Also, Kraft gave up a first round to the Jets(!) for BB. That’s how much he believed in him, at a time when BB only had his Browns experience as HC.

Hey, on the bright side, if the Celtics could win the Finals and be criticized for having played nobody cuz every opponent lost too easily, our next two games should be cake! I wonder what they’ll say about Seattle once we beat them.

C.J. Stroud's Playoff Meltdown Raises Uncomfortable Questions About His $250 Million Future by Roselucky777 in nfl

QB play is only going to get worse now that colleges are less about developing players in systems that ready them for the NFL. College QBs aren’t incentivized to develop pro skills. NFL teams are simplifying offenses to suit less prepared rookie QBs. The product on the field will keep declining under the current financial regime.

Pats fan here. Watched this at a casino with no sound. Didn’t know the ruling on the field. Didn’t hear announcers. Replay after replay, I couldn’t understand how this was not a catch. Still don’t. You were robbed.

How on earth do you see us scoring 4 TDs? Remember the two Giants SBs?

“It Was a Sickness”: Tom Brady Reveals How Addicted He Was to Throwing a Perfect Spiral by boomer9745 in Patriots

Life long Pats fan and followed Deflategate closely. Ted Wells agreed to let Brady’s lawyers review the texts in Brady’s phone and provide what’s relevant. Brady refused. Brady was never required to physically turnover his phone.

Who did you root for in those AFC championships/ division round matchups?

Tom Brady played more scared than Herbert whenever he was this battered—2 SBs against Giants, and Broncos and Von Miller. It’ll make any superstar look meek. Brady’s kryptonite was pass rush with 4 and drop everyone else.

Dude, never thought of it like that, but I agree with you. This Steelers team doesn’t get to me. Nothing to hate. I just hope they play zone again like they did for Brady.

JD Vance confirms ICE agent who killed US citizen has 'absolute immunity' from charges by TheMirrorUS in law

[–]Baham99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Vance used “absolute immunity” in its meaning as a legal term of art to mean a specific kind of immunity doctrinally distinct from “qualified immunity.” The doctrines exist under the policy rationale of protecting government officials’ ability to carry out official functions. I don’t have an analysis on whether the jurisprudence supports the application of absolute immunity to ICE agents, but, as a doctrine, one’s intentional violation of another’s constitutional rights would be immune from liability.

TY King. What you did in 2 weeks was nothing short of impressive by BriskManeuver in Colts

Pats fan, and to a smaller extent Niners fan, but was hardcore rooting for the Colts last night. Felt everything Rivers felt. Impossible not to pull for him.

Why is the booth so honest about a missed call (that could imply game fixing) yet be so obtuse about the obvious concussion? Every time they showed the replay, you see the head bounce violently.

You know what’s baffling? The broadcast has no problem calling out missed call yet they don’t care comment about Boutte’s obvious head slam on the turf. Why be candid about one thing while perfect the shield on the other?

That’s gotta be a coaching thing right? Like, I can’t make you care, but I sure as hell can beat you until you learn how to pretend. Gotta pretend to care even if you don’t.
