do or die

Both my gin and perception levels are sagely balanced....

Or I simply perceive poor depth....

When you peek more closely inside the Nothingburger.....one can actually see meat.

Under this deal, Manafort will charged with only 1 count of conspiracy against the United States and 1 count of conspiracy to obstruct justice by witness tampering. Which allows him to avoid a gazillion years, on this 2nd trial. But in this world you don't get something for nothing. For this deal to be realized - Judge Amy Berman Jackson said Paul Manafort has agreed to cooperate "fully and truthfully" with the special counsel investigation. What the judge says that will include: Interviews with the special counsel and providing relevant documents So we have Trump Campaign Russian point person #1 (Manafort), Trump Campaign Russian point person #2 (Flynn), and Trump's decade long legal fixer (Cohen)...... all in cooperation mode with Mueller. As well as the long time CEO of Trump's various companies and "charitable" Trust. The trails are being followed......the net is closing.

If our O "fell apart" because of one import receiver getting injured....what does this tell us?

Sure, but "game manager Nichols" didn't make bad decisions, or throw a lot of picks - and also engineered a fair amount of 4th Q comebacks. This junk, we have got the last month or so....won't win against any teams - and hasn't.

Pretty hard to "coach" around that.

11 Tds 12 Ints on the year. Brutal.

.....and have stronger arms

Nichols has sure put the ball more into double coverage, this year. Crazy really.

Just drink more gin or give up......hmmmm

Asking defenders to miss tackles, quarterbacks to miss passes, and receivers not to get open and catch the ball.....should be a correctable thing, no?

Hell, everybody liked Loffler better.....when he was a visible, play making part of the D....doling out big hits, picking off passes etc. But watching him this year - just not making any plays, and his lack of range is problematic, in terms of over the top help for anybody, back there. Like watching a ball rolling right off the table.

Sure. Who wants to hear any more of this stuff about how we are better than our record, almost there, as good as anyone, etc, etc. Prove it.

If (and I think he will) Nichols starts.....it will be interesting to see how the entire O responds around Matt.....as I think we are on the cusp......of a comeback or a slide right into the abyss. Anything resembling the Banjo bowl first half, would probably put paid, to Nichol's tenure as a starter, round these parts. Which given his past status, and current coin.....would be awkward indeed.

Would of been different if a bunch of Americans had been killed. (sic)

Wouldn't think of booing. However this does not preclude cursing, glaring, shaking of head, and copious consumption of gin......

You at least had the good sense to keep ellipsis out of the above content..... Therefore, I officially approve of this message.

2 pages on Alex Ross. This pretty well defines 'slow day"

Well, if Nichols gets the start....there better be a leash attached.....

Hopefully people will not spontaneously combust......when MOS starts Nichols against Montreal.

But....the law of averages, right?

Left handed attempt at being helpful, there.....

If we didn't fire Burke during the season.....we sure as hell are not firing MOS.

For me it's outright blowing these winnable games.....over and over again. Like being just about to take a gulp, then finding nothing in the glass.
