  1. Seems very similar to how Trump and supporters benefited from the momentum of Obama's economic growth, criticized it for not being good enough but then took credit for all the good parts of it in the first parts of his term.
  2. I know we've had this conversation 69,696,969 times, but here's what I think it all comes down to. 1. Kicking (and punting) 2. Red zone playcalling (affected by #1) 3. Two-minute offense The kicking aspect of our special teams has cost us at least two games on its own. Our redzone woes are due in very large part to not being able to trust a kicker. Too many times we had to go for it on 4th in a situation where we shouldn't have, and walked away with nothing. And Frost/Martinez have, as far as I can tell, never once successfully operated a 2 minute offense. We have other problems and deficiencies, but those three are a lethal combo that keeps us from winning games.
  3. What qualifies Biden's first year as disastrous? Pandemic fueled inflation and high gas prices? I honestly don't know what metrics are being used in that argument as I've paid very little attention to politics since buying a bunch of bitcoin the day before the election lol
  4. Ahh yes. Head coach = something super duper close to and almost exactly the same thing as an apple Offensive coordinator = apple Offensive line coach = zebra
  5. Try talking instead of losing your mind to hyperbole. I get what you mean, not sure you get what I mean. Do you think the Cowboys, Jets, Washington Football Team, and Browns are all stupid for hiring Callahan as offensive line coach? After all, he took a 9 win season to a 5 win season in 4 years.
  6. Why would you hire a racecar driver to coach a football team?
  7. He's not being hired as the head coach so not sure how that really matters.
  8. I haven't had the chance to listen but I'm curious if their position is to try and make pedophelia become okay and accepted, or if it's an argument that pedophiles didn't choose this for themselves and while it's a perversion that must be denied, it does them and us no good to treat them like evil monsters for something they can't change.
  9. Frost has run about as much option this season as he did in '97.
  10. Cowherd's entire point of thinking we made the right move is the argument that we're light years better than we were 2-3 years ago. Except, we aren't. We're maybe one light minute better than 2018 at best.
  11. I don't know if it was ever clear who was calling the plays when Helfrich was head coach, but I'm pretty sure I remember him calling them at least some of the time.
  12. Just came in to say this. Frost has already been the beneficiary of a miracle at NU - why not one more? GBR
  13. I'm guessing you confused a joke with an actual legitimate opinion. You are forgiven. Let's see how many threads we can waste this way you guys. Quick, now somebody quote me and say, "I'm guessing you confused sarcasm with an actual response. You are forgiven."
  14. There you go, you answered the question
  15. Okay, but that's rarely if ever solely due to merit.
  16. Cam Taylor Britt started off the season as our punt returner because he was the best electric playmaker (if/once he caught the ball). But he came at the cost of insane boneheaded decisions, so they went with the safer option to try and win games and lessen the damage. But they absolutely wanted to win that battle. Just didn't have the guy to do it.
  17. Generally speaking because a) it's a myth b) we don't all come from anything close to an equal playing field at the start. It's like saying, "This guy crossed the finish line of the race first, so based on merit he's the winner" without acknowledging that he started 200m ahead or 30 seconds early.
  18. This is from Vox, so take it at what it's worth, but their explainer videos are at least very informative if not entirely without bias. Another example of ways that infrastructure initiatives in the past, intentionally or not, disparately affected minorities.
  19. lol this isn't what we have or what we're doing at all. are you on the wrong team's board?
  20. Okay, but it is an example of a single system being racist. So, systems can be racist, at least one system is racist, but because not the entire system or not every system is racist, systemic racism doesn't exist. Am I getting that right?
  21. You raised some fine questions about some things I offered up, and then I showed you some more where even when all other variables are accounted for, including criminal history, blacks are punished more severely for the same crime as whites. The justice system demonstrably treats one race of people differently and worse than another in at least one tangible example, and you don't believe that systemic racism exists at all. What would be an example of something that would actually qualify as systemic racism existing if that doesn't?
  22. Any update on your belief that systemic racism doesn't exist @Archy1221
