Kalli posted:It will suck if this turns into purely an anti-Trump thing. (not saying anything against Alex Smith here, just there's a whole lot of this happening already). You need to take a knee if you're ready to say poo poo about institutional racism and police violence or at the very least strongly stand by those that will. It's been mostly black people talking about Trump and equality. I know Kaepernick started it as more of an explicitly anti-police brutality statement, but it's morphed into something else and it's not because of white liberals that want to talk about Russia or whatever. I've seen a lot of leftists on Twitter trying to blame the usual suspects for diluting Kaepernick's original intent, but I think you have to respect that most of the current players are very explicitly protesting against our white supremacist president.

Huh, I just saw this. https://twitter.com/NFL/status/912017502422540288 Clowney is freakishly fast for a guy his size, like maybe other big guys score there but they don't accelerate away that quickly.

I'm anxious to see what happens tomorrow with the owners having a day to process and figure out how they're going to attack this and what the Cowboys / Cardinals players do, or more specifically, next week.

There was some that applies because to late game scheduling that would cause them to forfeit the coin toss which causes an unsportsman-like.

Who knows? All I know is the Bills won. As long as they keep winning they can become Satan-worshipping Communists and I'll eat it up. I'd be willing to overlook child sacrifice to just get to the playoffs at this point.

For the most part football anchors and reporters have handled this all with much more tact than I would have expected, but the lazy thing too many of them are falling back on is that the NFL is united right now. Bullshit. Shine a light on the owners discouraging their players from speaking out.

Keon and Grimes were out going into the game, McCoy aggravated his ankle and was not nearly as explosive, Noah Spence injured his shoulder and was out after the first drive, Hargraves kept coming up lame every time got burned then to cap it off David had his ankle rolled up on and needed to be carted off. it was just depressing to watch.

I don't think I'm gonna watch the Panthers too much more until Shula is fired. This offense is completely unwatchable and I just end up yelling at my tv when we run 3 yard out routes and 5 yard curls to nowhere.

On an unrelated note I'm really disappointed that no Panthers took a knee. It seems like an odd thing to be concerned about, but it just seems like none of them care. I know that they probably got the order from Jerry (which in itself is a GIGANTIC problem) but just a few short years ago people were low key saying the Panthers were "too black" (looking at you Tennessee mom). The Superbowl squad was a really loving black team and it kind of felt like a part of their identity. This team no longer has an identity and it makes them tough to watch on sundays.

Some more musing thoughts about the Seahawks: - Someone mentioned this was a lot like that game against the Chargers in 2014 where it was super hot and the defense got gassed. 90 degrees and a lot of players were cramping up. Football isn't meant to be played in this weather. No excuse since Tennessee played in it, but I'm more concerned about lasting injuries now. - Our run defense is really bad and I'm not sure what it is. Everyone looked like they just gave up on that Murray TD run. - Our passing game finally got going just as our defense started falling apart. Nothing like a quick passing game to immediately put the defense out on the field! Either way, 2nd half Russell was a lot better. He set a career high for yards passing today. - Glowinski not playing seemed to make a difference. I'm not panicking yet. If they lose next week, then yeah I'm really worried.

ever since the ravens lost their defensive identity years ago, i realized it wasn't a defensive identity at all, you see that was a really loving black team and now that they no longer have that identity,
