Another week is in the books, er, reading devices and everything is as clear as mud. Let’s take a peek.
Fallout:
-Well, no one fell further than Frank Reich and Duce Staley and Josh Johnson. That’s twice that Reich has been fired midseason and twice that Tepper has let go a coach before the season ended. Under Mr. Tepper’s gentle guiding hand the Panthers are a gaudy 30-63. Lions OC Ben Johnson might be a really smart guy-he was targeted for the job last year but after seeing what the team was all about decided to go back to Detroit to the same job. Well played, Johnson.
-Let’s all pump the brakes on the Stillers having solved their offensive woes. Yes, they went for over 400 for the first time in forever but the lone TD was on the ground and the rest of the scoring was field goals by Boswell. Look, you’ve still got Pickett at qb.
-As Reid would say during a fever dream, “Where did all these turnovers come from?” I’m actually talking about the Broncos and their 15(!) takeaways in their last four games. It’s hard to lose when you get that many bonus possessions in your favor.
-The Giants qb Debate has shifted from “Do they actually have one?” to “Which one should they start?”. After the bye, Tyrod is available but he’s all but gone from the team at the end of the year so they should let their super cheap future backup get some seasoning.
To The Game!
Bears/Vikes:
-Does Eberflus make it to the end of the year? Do you know that at 0-9 he hasn’t won a division game yet?
-As expected the Bears are coming off a loss but so is Minny.
-The O’Connell stat that jumped out at me is that he loves one-score games because 22 of the 29 he’s coached here have been wins or losses by 8 or less.
-Presented Without Comment: “We’re not going to be Negative Nancys…” That was said by Josh Dobbs.
-Is Minny working towards a balanced rushing attack (Matty had 81 yards last week) or is Ty Chandler (114 total yards) trying to be the top dog?
It’s all yours.
And Kyler Gordon’s hamstring just exploded. You could see it from the overhead cam. Greaaaaat.

Just came home from a lovely dinner with Mrs. Cola for her 40th to see the score. This is a big bag of suck isn’t it?
It’s worse than it looks.

That’ll teach you to read Sports Illustrated.
“According to our initial investigation….”
The fact that they had to do an investigation into whether they were publishing AI-generated articles is really all you need to know.
Canceled SI years ago. This certainly isn’t making me regret that decision.
Gumby canceled when they did that April fools joke about the pitcher that could throw a bajillion miles an hour fastball.
Other writers love that story and hold it up as part of SI’s glory days. As a reader I thought it was complete horseshit. Write your fiction somewhere else.
Not here, though. The last thing we need is to be outshined by a bunch of competent professionals.
We should use AI for some posts

We all know what Colinsworth would say and it would be irrelevant, ridiculous, and enough to make you want to punch your television.
Brother-Tikki-Deadly was actually complaining to me about Collinsworth openly rooting against the Jets and I told him that “if you are letting anything that dickhead says get under your skin, I can’t help you. Just mute the TV. Which you should have been doing anyways.”
He has risen.

There is not a team in the NHL who wouldn’t have tanked for Lemieux., if they had the opportunity and the total suckitude. The Pens were terrible back then.

After hanging with Ayo on Thurs, we should have a PNWer DFO hangout, maybe in Seattle at a Mariners game or weekend of games when it’s warm weather. I’d also suggest Portland as a meetup, as I live about 1 mile north of the MODA Center, so a Blazers game could be a thing. Park around my house, walk to MODA while hitting the 3 bars inbetween.
That’s a great idea!
I’ll be there. Brick Meathook is mobile. We need another L.A. DFO summit soon. I’m in D.C. until 12/31 (except for the brief period when I’m back in L.A.) so there’s always that. Let’s see some likes on this folks.
I like the Portland idea. Not sure I can survive another of those nights, but I’m willing to die trying.
Hero!

“that was a good call by getsy there”
yes, a play that results in a failed 3rd down conversion and a failed redzone trip. a good call there.

I’m being asked to “brighten up” a PowerPoint presentation. The deck was sent to me late today. Imagine taking a shit into a PowerPoint presentation, and then you sent it to some idiot. That’s what I got. A slide deck of shit.

Here’s the bad news. The woman I’m working with the most intense busy body I’ve ever worked with. She is constantly honing in on conversation to tell people what they should be doing – even though she doesn’t know. My boss assigned me this project to make sure it looks good. This has all the harbingers of me getting booted for physical assault.

I was in the car and I thought, “Why in fuck can I not have anything I want?” Then I realized I have three children and a house and a dog. That’s why.
But, I do have bourbon, beer, books, a pretty cool RC Bronco, a nice watch, more than a few pairs of Vans, an a Macbook Pro.
Still, I really want a Porsche and my own house with four levels dedicated to: books, music, movies, and food. With a nice outside porch that keeps off the rain so you can get fucking hammered and stay dry. But the house would be where no one could ever find me, except for female members of the Olympic swim team.
Don’t forget the firetrucks. I want a fucking firetruck, and a cop car.
Maserati GranTurismo and an autogyro.

Bullshit, indeed. If they were, there’s no way their husband would allow them on the internet. Filthy harlots
As a right-winger, a traditional 1950s housewife is not the thing we seek out for mind rotting.
the ideal outcome: fields and the bears offense improves, leads 17-7 at the half. puts up 13 steady points in 2nd half. eberflus defense implodes late yet again and dobbs adds to the hero legacy. 31-30 vikes. bears build on the tank that is seeing plenty of competition (cards, pats) as of late

I don’t know. Reserve Lieutenant Webelos Marshall Browning had a good first mission himself.
Does daytime cold medicine make anyone else sleepy, like it does Hippo? Again, I think the Sweet Baby Jeebus this is not mandatory.
but let the record show that Hippo foresees the Bearistocrats! somehow play competently tonight, and probably even win. NO, Other Hippo and I will not be going to rehab (ah said no no NO!)
Well, last night’s game was a fucking debacle. FOUR FUCKING TURNOVERS AND YOU GET THREE FUCKING POINTS? Well, it made for good trolling on the Ravens subreddit. Those guys are such homers.
Eh, it’s not as bad as the Jets defense picking up a turnover right before the half and it netting the team negative seven points.

More 3D printer stuff from friends:
=====================================
I’ll second the notion of anything from Prusa.
The various cheap clones are cheaper and functional to varying degrees, and most of them probably won’t burn the house down, but it seems like those are only actually good if you want to get into trying to build your own printer one part at a time as you replace all the junk.

Could I build a vintage WW1 bomber so I could bomb Pittsburgh, Cleveland, and Cincinnati before game days?
That’s a bk109 question
Yeah, come in early on a Saturday Fozz.
WW1 zeppelin bomber, because it’d be cooler.
If Addison could go nuclear tonight, it would be very much appreciated
DJ Moore for 3 TDs, please.
Also yes
I really do not think Kenny Pickett is a bad QB. One thing that gets forgotten in all the “lack of offense” is that he hasn’t turned the ball over.
He holds the Steelers all-time record for consecutive throws without an interception. And he is adding to it every new throw.
That’s a big part of why they’re 7-4.
He threw a beeeyoutiful 40 yard pass. On the fucking money. I think he’s capable, let’s hope this Canada shitshow hasn’t completely fucked up his development. I’m nowhere near ready to write him off.
The biggest part of why they’re 7-4 is because his average yards per attempt is 6.1-that’s ranks 35th in the league. Also, Tomlin is a high priest in the Santeria religion.
Hate to be Capt. Obvious here, but
Pre-season Kenny was pretty solid. I’m not a KP Yinzer homer. I AM a Yinzer homer, and want the starting quarterback of my team to perform reasonably well.
I remember Matt Madagascar saying something at the beginning of the season about not wanting to “show too much” or something along the lines of not trying too much with the schemes and play calling.
We saw the video of Matt Mauritania when Kenny audibled into the eventual game-winning throw against Bawlmer earlier this season. Matt Mali looked pensive at best, disappointed at worst. Pickett threw out whatever the original call was from Matt Moldova, and just did something.
The talk post-game today was how “fresh” and easy it was to communicate this week. Matt Myanmar might have been another Josh McDaniels-in-waiting.
So you’re saying that Matt Mozambique was the problem?
You’re. Fuck.
😉
Thank you, my darling dear!
My take on the Steelers game was that the offense at least looked like an NFL offense, as opposed to whatever shitshow they were running out there prior to Matt Mauritania’s firing.
The offense did look better but they were playing the Bengals without Burrow. It’s a good first step but they’ll need to score more if they want to keep it up.
But I am impressed by Pickett. He realized what many rookies QBs don’t: you’re not paid to be a hero; you’re paid to throw the ball to your teammates.
And we were playing the Browns last week with a rookie QB and only got 10 points.
Matt Mozambique was the problem.
*A* problem.
I’m not sold on the HIGHEND TALENT on the line or the receivers. Dionte is one-and-half Vontez Burficts away from being AB without any of the actual talent. I’m sure that’s a great influence on Pickens. The line can plow for 15 yards on a single run play, and then let Pickett be folded neatly in half by Maxx Crosby or Garrett.
You have to cut out the tumor that spreading the shit in the first place, and the Stillers seemed to have done that. The question is how much was left and can it be stopped without having to blow it all it up again?
This is true. Not sure if they keep Dionte this off-season. I see them drafting a WR like they always do and trading DJ.
The OL needs major help although they’ve honestly been better than I expected. Then again, I expected a turnstile.
