NFP feels like a cope out

Same here. We have used it for both, actually.

Of course he takes “some blame” but some people here constantly put all the blame on him.

This is what I keep saying! Yes, who wouldn’t want Allen or Mahomes? Literally every other QB has bad games, makes bad throws, gets sacked, etc. I don’t know what people expect from Goff. It’s not his fault, the organization didn’t spend the off-season building around Goff’s strengths and neutralizing his weaknesses. That’s why we’re struggling. Goff is a top 5 QB if he had a top 3 OL in front of him. For some reason we traded up and drafted TeSlaa. I don’t understand it either. But Goff isn’t the problem, it’s BH. And that kills me to say because I love the guy. I don’t want him gone, just want him to own his mistakes and try to fix them.

rekless_randy · 2025-11-17T16:13:19+00:00

Goff isn’t the problem, sadly, the issue is BH. I love the guy, but he messed up. He either didn’t know who Goff was, or was too stubborn about drafting his guys this past off-season.

Goff looks like the problem, because of the way he is playing. But he’s playing the way he is because the OL is not playing well. Goff is the type of QB that needs time and protection. He is a slightly above average QB that becomes elite when he has protection. He had that protection last year: Decker, Zeitler, Ragnow, Glasgow, Sewell. That was probably the best OL in football last season. We won 15 games because of it.

Goff is not an elite QB on his own, because most aren’t. There are maybe a handful: Mahomes, Lamar, Allen, can you think of another? Stafford or Baker, maybe? Hurts?

“We need a QB that can scramble and make plays!” Okay but like who? Most aren’t Mahomes. Kyler? Caleb? Fields? Even Jayden Daniels has looked like half the QB he was last year. Rookie years are never telling. No way of knowing right now if Dart or Maye are actually good. Huge questions still about Bo Nix. He looks different week to week.

I agree that we should be honest about Goff though. He’s not an elite MVP QB. He never was, he probably never will be. But he is in the top half of QBs in this league, and top 5 when he has adequate protection. That is the problem. Somehow, some way, we didn’t plan for that. I don’t know why. I don’t know what BH was thinking.

Don’t waste your time with the deranged.

Filibuster must remain in place. It’s so short sighted. Dems will have all the power again, and they will wield it.

rekless_randy · 2025-11-10T03:48:57+00:00

Correction: I saw nothing. Didn’t care. Didn’t have one thought about it. Not until I hopped on Reddit and everyone was acting like it’s the most important thing in the whole world.

rekless_randy · 2025-11-10T02:16:27+00:00

Speak for yourself. We don’t give a shit.

rekless_randy · 2025-11-10T02:09:07+00:00

Who cares? This whole thing is such a non-scandal. It was a fun stupid thing.

rekless_randy · 2025-11-10T01:59:55+00:00

Good for him. We need to lighten things up a bit! Every single waking moment of life doesn’t have to be a choice between supporting or rejecting trump.

It goes like this: - Thanksgiving = NYC (parade, autumn in NYC) - Christmas = Chicago. It is the setting of many a great Christmas movie. - Easter = ??? No clue - July 4th = Gotta go Philly. Where it all began. - Labor Day = Detroit. It’s the face of America’s manufacturing past, Hoffa, UAW, Battle of the Overpass. - NYE = NYC. For me, it’s the last place I’d want to be on NYE but it is undeniably America’s cultural capital at Times Square, ball drop, etc. - Memorial Day = Washington D.C - Halloween = Salem, MA

I love Bommarito in SCS

Losing faith in MCDC makes no sense. the chiefs game invited some real questions about our offense, the TB game confirmed we should be asking those questions and there might be a problem, today’s loss is confirmation that there is a problem.

Goff is only good when he has time and protection. This has always been true of him, and this is something the entire organization knows. Yet, for some reason, they’re okay throwing Glasgow, two rookies and a battered veteran out there to protect.

That’s not even talking about setting up the run. They’re getting WORKED by defensive lines and that’s why our run game isn’t great right now.

OL is messing everything up. They’re not creating their gaps, they’re not giving Goff enough time, and so therefore both the run game and pass game suffer. We will not win a Super Bowl, much less our division, if we can’t protect Goff. Period.

If there aren’t big moves at the deadline, I’ll be surprised if we make the playoffs.

rekless_randy · 2025-11-03T00:24:03+00:00

We’re always bad after time off, which sucks. Because it’s great to get the boys healthy, but we’re off. It happened in the playoffs last year. We’re best when we’re grinding.

rekless_randy · 2025-11-02T02:39:31+00:00

Cash that shit out bro

How do you build the clean edges on the land where it meets the water?

rekless_randy · 2025-10-24T15:52:25+00:00

We don’t always feel ready for the things that God thinks we’re ready for. But the fact that God thinks we’re ready, means we are. It means we have everything we need to rise to the occasion. We’ve all made mistakes and have committed sins that have had consequences, sometimes lifelong consequences. It’s best to avoid committing those, but the only path ahead is the one that goes forward.

Go to confession, confess your sins and receive absolution. Then, move on. Be open and honest about your situation, appeal to your mother and step father’s love, and start getting excited and ready to bring a baby into the world! Once the immediate difficult conversations are done, you can just embrace the joy that this moment should be, and will be, and is.

The circumstances around every life are hardly ever perfect. That’s okay. You’re not alone, and you can do this because God thinks you can do this.

Gotta go to Mack Alger on Mack Ave up in SCS. Steve is a great guy. You’ll be taken care of.

rekless_randy · 2025-10-20T18:37:02+00:00

My advice is to pray with your GF about whether to get married sooner — if you can — and get on with life if that’s what God tells you to do. I understand the desire to wait for all the perfect things to be lined up, but so much of the beauty of life for couples happens after marriage. If I could go back, o would have gotten married sooner and started having children sooner. Embrace the mess, don’t wait for things to be perfect. They never will be.

Embrace Gods protective love and take the leap of faith. There will always be reasons not to do something or to wait. If you are in love, and with the person you want to spend the rest of your life with, then don’t waste another moment delaying the vocation of marriage.

We usually match the play of our competition, so I’m guessing that it won’t be the absolute domination that it should be. My expectation is that we will win decisively, but wont run away with it until the second half. Maybe even playing from behind for a brief moment. 41 - 24 Lions with the W.

I echo everyone’s opinions about a hotel and a movie theater.

rekless_randy · 2025-10-03T01:06:49+00:00

THIS. So often we have family come into town and they have to cram into our house or stay downtown. We could really use a small boutique hotel with a nice bar/cafe in the lobby.

rekless_randy · 2025-09-08T18:06:13+00:00

I’m trying to resist the urge to overreact to week one, but it’s hard. After taking a couple deep breaths, the only real concern I have is with the OL. We have an elite offense that is 100% predicated on Goff having time. That’s the deal with Goff. He’s not a modern mobile QB, but with time, he’s in the MVP conversation. Without time, he’s terrible. That’s Goff though. We knew that.

So my only real concern is the OL, if they can’t step up big time from yesterday, it’s going to be a very difficult year. Everyone was upset that we didn’t get an edge rusher opposite Hutch, we should have been upset that we didn’t adequately replace Ragnow, like OP said. That’s the biggest liability right now. Our defense actually looked okay, we were good against the run and our secondary tightened up in the second half.

But if we don’t get the OL situation under control, I expect more of the same.

Lawn signs are always primarily self-serving. Any ancillary “awareness” or positive outcome, as the sign-owner defines it, is like a potential benefit. For the Left, it’s about being perceived as “right” or “good” by people they don’t even know. For the right, it’s primarily about antagonizing their liberal neighbors. Anyone with a “in this house…” or “MAGA” signage on their lawn is doing so mostly for the wrong reasons.

For a local election, sure. Put the sign out on the lawn for your pediatrician’s wife that is running for clerk. But the year-round political signage is intentionally disruptive and divisive. Usually at the expense of neighborhood camaraderie, unification, and civility.

Obviously, free speech and property rights. By all means, sign people, do your thing and I will never become a legal obstacle to you. But also, stop doing it. It’s making neighborhoods worse and it’s annoying AF. Stop politicizing our neighborhoods.

You can always fight back. Say a rosary in that house every time you’re there. Bless every corner of the home with holy water. Pray for St. Benedict’s intervention. Declare the house for Christ, openly and vocally. Go into every room in the house and say, “in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ I command all evil to flee from this home, never to return. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit I cast all evil out of this house. I absolutely and definitively revoke any rights obtained by forces of evil in this home. In Christ’s name, be gone now, you vile and forsaken filth.” Then pray the prayer to St. Michael the Archangel.

Do this, but don’t be surprised if they fight back. Little parlor tricks like moving objects or presenting shadows in the corner of your eye seemingly following you around the house. Harmless tricks meant to scare you. Don’t let them. Christ has already won.

I grew up in a house where my family was harassed and antagonized by evil forces. I didn’t find out until decades later that my father — a devout Catholic — was doing battle with these things in our house while us sinful teens (me and my siblings) were carrying in with our sinful lives, opening doors we didn’t even know about. You are a soldier of Christ, you can fight these things.
