  1. Get Schultz involved again
  2. you stupid fuck if you just said "rooting for greatness" and left if there sure but you were gently told to appreciate the thread/circumstance and you threw a fit fuck you
  3. fuck you gtfo
  4. yeah i was saying out loud to go for it
  5. Good job Wayne, and thanks for taking out Tank btw CJ BABY!!!
  6. And it also helps if you don't do it on 3rd or 4th down. Those refs are aware of circumstance and they are more likely to throw that flag in drive-saving situations.
  7. so what is he supposed to do differently to 1) stop Mahomes and 2) not get flagged on that play?
  8. no, that is how they call it for ONE PLAYER IN THE LEAGUE.
  9. no they don't. not for Allen or LJ
  10. what? that was not a penalty. is he just supposed to not rush Mahomes full speed?
  11. FUCKING RIGGED
  12. good drive, but those are ones you have to convert for TDs
  13. we got lucky there but so did KC not to lose that fumble
  14. great start jffc
  15. And that doesn't even include the loss of Cade Stover. We could have really used him this week.
  16. Yeah absolutely. The Buffalo game was terrible because of the epic choke involved after the team played the most perfect first half of football I think I've ever seen a team play. The KC loss at home was such a huge blow because that Oilers team was scorching hot heading into the playoffs and one win at home would open the door for a redemption trip to Buffalo. Then, with the first half lead and the defense doing its job to stop Montana, it felt like the stars were aligned but of course by the middle of the third quarter Montana said nope not today you suckers. That one hurt so bad.
  17. from r/texans
  18. indeed. And Marcus Allen iirc
  19. In my 50s as well and I remember that experience. It sucked. But nothing sucked like Buffalo in '93. It's crazy to think Houston has not experience a pro football team in the AFCG since Earl Campbell and has only hosted ONE divisional game since that time. ONE DIVISIONAL PLAYOFF GAME! Btw, that divisional playoff game was against none other than the Kansas City Chiefs and it was exactly 31 years ago today. Fuckin Keith Cash, man.
  20. clarinetmastery.com might be worth checking out if you are looking for an online resource as well.
  21. This is great, kudos to you. I grew up loving music as a listener and was around a close family friend who was a jazz musician, but I was never encouraged/expressed interest in learning an instrument. I wish I could go back and do that all over again and take advantage of that access because I love learning it now and wish I'd been given a basic lesson in music theory when I was a teenager. Music is such a great creative outlet.
  22. Your personal opinion of Nick Wright aside, do you really think he's wrong here? I hope I'm wrong as well but we do not stand a chance Saturday. At all. I mean, sure, we have a mathematical, soyouresayingtheresachance.gif chance of pulling off the upset in the cold in KC on Saiurday, but we all need to be real. Mahomes and Andy Reid are in full control of this game. (do you hear me football gods?)
  23. he's not wrong. Chiefs are gonna roll us, even if we keep it close for the first three quarters. Mahomes will not lose this game.
  24. Helpful post, thanks! I think the exercise you recommended is exactly the one I've been working on yesterday and today. Started practicing in C (relative A minor), moved up to D, then E etc as an exercise on those top two strings to get a feel for the changing shapes of those dyads moving up the fretboard to play the major scale. So, for the C major example, playing only the root and third notes on the E and B strings up the fretboard would give you the full harmonized major scale of C > D minor > E minor > F > G > A minor > B > C. This has been one of those small game-changer light bulb moments for me because I only played the double stops that were easy and comfortable and sounded good without any consideration of the intervals or what it was I was playing. All based in the boxy shapes. My crutch is typically playing linear double stops built from the pentatonic boxes like this.... I'll also focus on the D and G strings for pattern 2 and play those together as well. (Are all these perfect fourths?) What I'm not doing enough of is string skipping or hitting on the 1s and 3s, it's all just basically playing chord chunks laid out right next to each other because they're easy to find and play together. The problem is that although my playing sounds like I know how to navigate the fretboard in a key and play the pentatonics and arpeggios and the full major/minor scale, my double stops are repetitive and formulaic. They fit structurally and sound good, but.....kinda meh after a while? Is the issue playing the same interval without changing it up enough? Seems like all I'm doing when playing those double stops is taking little pieces of the pentatonic boxes, and I'm nor really sure that's saying much wrt playing guitar. At least this exercise is forcing me to expand that comfort zone.
