That old guy who still writes about the Philadelphia Eagles, now for PHLY. Annoys w/dad jokes, social commentary. Fan of what Twitter used to be. Also of rescue Pit Bulls. Husband/dad. Grew up in the South way back when progress actually seemed possible.
Explaining to the dog that she shouldn’t have run right back to the porch the second she realized she was plowing thru a foot of snow, that she won’t get another chance to pee til morning.
Doing this earnestly, until I remember oh yeah she’s a dog and I’m talking to myself.

I think if you read the post, what I said was that Denver’s defense did everything but account for Maye’s running, and on the final third down, that beat them.
It literally did. The Pats ran out the clock.
I didn’t imply anywhere that the Denver offense played well. Weird thing to pick a fight over.

Thanks for the condescension. You wrote that not accounting for Maye running "beat Denver". Denver not being able to move the ball aside from one shot play is worth a mention. Am I supposed to write champ now?

That's a 90th percentile performance by the Rams offense (based on EPA per drive), and they still lost.
Stafford and McVay were terrific -- won the battle against Macdonald and that Seahawks defense, and it wasn't enough.

Besides the horror and disgustingness of the actions of Trump, there is an underlying annoyance of how stupid he thinks everyone is to believe this. It's Michael Scott yelling "I Declare Bankruptcy" except this was obvious not written by Trump.
There have been 3 homicides in Minneapolis this year. Trump’s agents committed two of them: a mom and a nurse who cared for our Veterans.
Stay the hell out of our cities.

Not sure why McVay took that last timeout with 3:05 left, but you have to actually stop them to get the ball back, anyway.

If you’re gonna let Stafford stand there and pick a receiver at his leisure, you might as well just concede.

Why I said Denver DEFENSE, champ.
Poetic. That and, you know, not being able to score. Or move the ball.

Looking forward to reading all the gushy think pieces about McVay boldly changing punt returners, complete with charts and graphs.

I’m assuming the issue being reviewed is whether Nucua hit the ground with his hip on the boundary, rather than if he caught it.

Pats got 65 of their 206 net yards on Maye runs. It was the only thing Denver’s defense didn’t account for all day, and at the end, on the final third down, it beat them.

How awesome would it be if the NFL grew balls the size of the NBA and postponed the games in protest?
