  1. Monster is pretty brilliant. It's horrific, but not gratuitously. I'd never heard of Gein. Anyway, I think it's elite.
  2. I continue to wonder if the GOP is ready to ease Trump out so they can resume control of the subjugation of the republic themselves. All of their pieces seem to be in place with gerrymandering, control of Congress, a GOP toad as VP, and troops deployed to deal with any possible demonstrations from the tame Americans. Trump boosted the speed of this. Now, his approval ratings sink as he takes blame for the worst parts of the plan. Tragic death re-elevates Trump and the cause. Easy peasy. So, let Epstein playout with GOPs voicing concern and, (vomit in mouth) taking the moral high ground. The timing and situation seem perfect for that to me. But I am almost always wrong with political predictions.
  3. I suspect your reasoning is circular. I really don't care that much. Maybe my reasoning is circular as well. I hope Arch comes around. It's my experience that if the first team guy isn't cutting it, you give the second team guy a try. That would remove speculation and present a body of evidence beyond a single play.
  4. Yes. I thought all the argument around here is that you can't blame a QB for a poor team. I only judge by what I see. I don't care about the background of a person who performs the best. I don't even get why you'd make such a point. It all comes down to who is playing the best not what they were doing last year or in high school. I prefer winning to pedigree.
  5. I guess that I felt there were short receivers available, but maybe you are speaking of an overall shift in strategy. I agree that a concentration on the short game would be best. I still wonder about our execution of it from the current QB.
  6. I'm not a great analyst of things such as game plan. I do feel like we have many plays that would work well with a competent throw or, gasp, reception that led the receiver rather than require breaking stride to grab at a poorly place pass. To me, that indicates that the plan (at least on those plays) was sound. Execution did not require a high level of skill, but execution is the point of failure. I've felt that way for two seasons now. Ewers could not hit a set up long pass (low percentage, admittedly) but was reliable in the shorter game to release quickly and accurately. That and an ol that could block for runners who could exploit openings was success. None of the execution works this year, it seems. I don't think that's a failure of offensive game plan so much as adequate coaching/recruiting to ensure success.
  7. I can see why the elegant articulation caught your eye. It's not the kind of phrase one ever sees outside of an English literature class. Sadly, it has no bearing on what I wrote.
  8. Caldwell's single pass was on target. He had the pocket presence to know he could hold it that long. That's a remarkably thin bit of evidence in favor of Caldwell, but his one play was a stark contrast to the plays preceding and following it. We're largely fucked whatever we do, but I have a sick sense that Arch's futility is impacting the rest of the team. Football is not a game for the fragile.
  9. A&M with a towering win over #16, 2-loss ND and now Mississippi State at home = top 5. They just about have to be ranked that high because they're undefeated and that's the way to polls and rankings work. Who knows how good anyone is? What a weird, crazy year. I thought it would be fun when it looked like we would be in the scrum. Alas, we're floating with the scum. But, let's not make any changes and stay the course.
  10. We all are, Senor Self Righteous. We're discussing opinion not loyalty.
  11. He's paid well to make tough decisions that should lead to winning games and more. That's all that's on his performance review. I'd hate to demoralize Arch, but I'd have to keep in mind my job. I so wish we had Chris Simms on the bench. For a fleeting moment, I had hope. The prior few plays were disaster that spelled more disaster. I did a rare scream at the TV. Don't take him out! The "he didn't lose the game by himself" argument is a pretty low bar for a starting QB. That's about the same level as, "well he played well for a quarter." As you state, pointing to bad play by the OL doesn't explain Arch's dithering on pass plays or his abysmal placement even where there are catches. The all caps persuades me that Arch is competent. Thanks. Strange posts? Arch didn't play great and choked at the end except for a few plays? Which side of this discussion are you on? You do not describe adequate performance. Hasn't been great? I missed the SHSU game, but I've seen the rest. We're coming up on the halfway mark of the season, has Arch had even a sound game in there? Has anyone thought, "alright, here we go. Arch is on point. I can't wait to see him play next week"? I don't stake out territory as a fan. I don't have a stand to defend on who starts. I like Arch. I dread him on the field as QB week to week. That's way beyond "hasn't been great." I breathed after that play until I saw it was not to have a follow-up of competence. By all means, we should choose our starters based on anything other than performance. You always start the guy once rated a five star over a guy with seasons of experience. Why is that even being discussed. To win, I bench Arch and start Caldwell. It's merited based on performance. It also may help with Arch's choking problem. I want Arch to work out. I'm past the point of throwing away games to see that happen. The Florida fans are right. We were overrated and will likely remain so. Next year is the year we should be great. But, there's that quarterback thing.
  12. Anybody else wonder if SecDef Rambo chose this hanky so it could be folded to look like military ribbons? I may be going off the deep end. Reel me back in!
  13. If one wants to trace the toxin the hate engine poured into our political discourse, merely follow the campaign against Hillary Clinton. Lesbian who murdered her male lover and married Bill because she knew that was her best chance to become president herself. And that's the nice stuff that seeped from the American Spectator like pus from a bubo so the megaphones like Brother Rush could quote each as though they were credible. One report said the Bill and Hill were running lesbo gay camps in Arkansas. For thirty years this went on. She was the origin of zero toxins but the campaign was so relentless that even intelligent people on here who have recognized and abandoned the lie of what the GOP is still can't deprogram themselves from hating her. So, well said. I haven't read all the dialogue between you two, but I think I have a feel for where Bozo comes from. In this case, toxicity refers to the impact of different individuals on the chances of success for their political party. Bozo is not right-wing. I would present Bozo's point (that is, if I get it) a different way. To illustrate how Warren (my favorite candidate first go 'round) or Hillary might be toxic would be to imagine what their presidencies would have been like. Nightmare and Nightmare on Elm Street, respectively. Although their policies and capabilities as leaders in a well-functioning USA would have been outstanding, the target each would present to the toxic right would be crippling. We were fucked in 2016 because one candidate was a degenerate and the other a red flag to the bovine opposition and their rabid zombie followers. Something on a smaller scale would have happened to Warren. They're stupid cunts who don't know their place with characters besmirched by a shit river of lies flowing from FOX News and shameless GOP elected officials. The most disappointing embracers of this would be GOP white women saying it's too early for a woman. Paint either of those women black, and you have burning crosses. I have presumed to interpret Bozo here, I ask forgiveness if I'm off base. And how 'bout that government shutdown and further development of executive plenary power, huh? Thank God I'm staying out of the weeds and keeping my eye on the ball!
  14. I like the cheapest unit at Public Storage motif. It speaks to me.
  15. It was fundamental. She presented as decent, honest, and not about hate. Her party and she are for the healthcare programs that already existed to the benefit of many Americans. She cares about the country. Trump is hardly a bug compared to her. The choice was obvious. I will guess that you think there was some special magical code message that would have made America see that they were on a path they didn't want to be on. It was right there in what you saw. America voted for the opposite of everything named above. The country identified itself absolutely by the vast majority win of the Trumpists and the acquiescent. Tactics mattered not a damn. The Americans rejected outright basic values. Laugh at it all you want, but there was no message that would work. The right message is not always the winning message.
  16. I guess you're right down there on the margin seeing who is above and who isn't. God's work!
  17. She ran for president, and campaigned tirelessly delivering the right message. What have you done, my friend?
  18. The wishbone teams were great to watch no matter the color.
  19. @956 Worldwide Hard to follow that. I posted the below on the Trump's America thread. It seems more appropriate here.
  20. Combat Badge Sargeant (Accomplished) I don't know what the pocket insignium is, but it scares me. If I were a little hungrier, I'd eat him.
  21. He'd run a war like he has run all his businesses. If he wasn't in the bag for Russia and N. Korea, he'd invade one of those just assuming, as he always does, nobody knows more about winning than he does. Even he is not stupid enough to invade China. Invade Canada because, I don't know, they're operating as a base for radical socialist incursions supporting the street to street fighting in Portand. Fake news won't show you the footage. Biden created a disastah. If only Trumpuppets remain in command and the military doesn't mutiny, we'll find our tanks taking over major towns (victory!) then the bloody efficient transborder guerilla war run by Canadians who look just like us and speak fluent English will be blamed on, you know, the radical socialist with their woke agenda that has unleashed the violent, grooming havoc of Transgender Terrorism! Oh, and a war will make Trump the richest man in the world.
  22. I suppose you don't realize rather than refuting what I wrote you verify it. It's why we're on a train track instead of a road. Live it up in the box you've convinced yourself is a luxury car headed for paradise.
  23. This idiot thinks he's part of the club. He's the Nazi Jew of the new century. Above, he looks like he's offering his face for a leopard. That will be a glorious page of posts here when he's offered up as an incompetent idiot criminal to get The Donald out of a tough spot. There's an endless list of toadies who have proven themselves to be just a despicable as this turd. The United States of Whores if so. I think you're wrong, but I've been wrong before. Who would have thought that W would be re-elected? No, I don't think so. See below. I think this started with Reagan taking a high paying offer to speak in Japan. Japan was rocking and apparenty, along with Germany, would surpass the US. Imagine the amusement and scorn in a shame society that an American President could be bought so cheaply. I think the Saudis get a kick out of Trump holding the orb or countless high profile Americans, many already rich, bending the knee for cash. People have died refusing to bow to tyranny and villainy. We show what we've changed into. The dark side of America prevails. If the 800 flag officers tamely return to their commands and hope their not among the 20%?
