I didn't watch the game, how did the bears hold the Vikings to so few yards with a bunch of practice squad guys

Remember when the Chargers kept going for it on fourth down because they knew how explosive the Chiefs could be. Against the Bears the Vikings went into kill the clock mode after the first TD.

Not Twitter, but I follow the Lions' IG account for some strange reason, and you bet your rear end they post every single final score, even when they get blown out.

Bucs do too. Whenever it's a win they're all yaaaaaaay win here's all the stats from the game. When it's a loss it's just the score and "Final. :geno:"

Nah I don't think so. Their numbers are assuredly fake and when this whole thing started they were burning bodies 24/7.

This is a global pandemic that will never end. And every single country on earth is and will be a victim to it.

Well Australia has a death rate of 8.5 people per 100k from Covid and the USA has a death rate of 245 per 100k so they’re certainly winning at not killing orders of magnitude more people, and also of providing more functional assistance to those struggling with loss of income due to restrictions.

Yeah but are they 'winning' against covid? I wouldn't say so. They've been more successful in several metrics than other countries, that's it. But none of that stuff will be allowed to last forever when it starts having severe economic consequences, it's just a matter of time. It's still changed so much about life there in a negative way, just as it has everywhere.

Anyways how did this conversation even start? That's my bad, this isn't really even the place for this except in the sense that the NFL is insanely incompetent when it comes to this stuff

I think in the NFC right now the top 4 teams would be

Packers

Buccs
Rams

Arizona

Whereas in the AFC

Chiefs

Bills
Pats
Colts

Chargers

Everyone Else.

Don't sleep on the 49ers. The main issue with them is definitely their cornerbacks, that position group was devastated early in the season and unlike some groups they were mostly lost for the year. But their defensive line is ferocious and legitimately threatening and their run game is mostly excellent. Good defense and a strong running game can take you far in the playoffs.

I'm not sure about the Cowboys. Looking through the games they've played this year, MAN have they played a lot of dogs. They did play the Bucs and Chargers week 1 and 2, and to their credit won both. But since then, literally, it's been a parade of terrible teams to beat on apart from a low-scoring loss to the Chiefs. They have had an incredibly easy schedule this year by my judgement. They are a very very talented team on both sides of the ball, so they could do anything, I just want to see it.

It would go a long way if they could beat up big time on the Cardinals, even the currently struggling Cardinals.

Ooops, you're right I read that wrong. In that case the Chargers and the Patriots are the only good teams they've beaten all year.

Other teams they've played: WFT, Eagles, Giants, Panthers, Vikings, Broncos (they lost that game), Falcons, Raiders (lost that one too), and Saints. Not exactly a murderer's row

Your point sucks and gives up any kind of fight because the economy (read: rich people) must keep going. China, regardless of data accuracy (lol at any American throwing this stone) is doing good things like contact tracing, forced isolation and quarantine, and lockdowns. Australia is also doing this and has had much better results - people point at protests and riots but I would rather have those than what's happening in america now and in the coming months.

In summary, lol.

Vietnam, which if you actually care about ideology and not just owning the Libs by supporting authoritarian dictatorships has a more effectively socialist system of government and economics than the PRC btw, literally held a lockdown for over a year which wrecked their economy in the process but finally had to give up on Covid zero because it became effectively impossible to maintain with Delta even with the strict martial law measures they relied on. And so they have a giant Covid wave atm which because they aren’t the authoritarian nightmare that is the PRC they don’t desperately try and hide.

But I’m sure you’ll tell me that Vietnam is actually just full of neoliberalist reactionaries unlike the glorious PRC which is why they “gave up.”

Yes yes this is a Wendy’s.

I was going to use Vietnam as an example as well as Cuba, when both gave up things got much worse. Almost like it takes a worldwide initiative and the biggest economy in the world is screaming everything's fine!!! Just open up!!

I think both gave up because they're poor countries that don't have the resources other countries do and need more capital unlike the main hub of capital - the USA.
