The Front Porch / Re: What are we watching these days?
November 10, 2023, 11:03:03 AM
Quote from: squibber on November 10, 2023, 09:55:59 AMWhat I liked about Encounters are the large number of eye witnesses for the sightings in Texas, an African school and a British school.

What did sound hoaky was the alleged message given to the African students about caring for the earth. But then again maybe the alien's plan is to slowly get humans more comfortable and ready for contact in the future.

I'm not 100% convinced of alien life on earth. I want solid proof.
I've never seen a UFO that I can say for certain. With all the billions of planets estimated to be in a Goldilocks zone that supports water and is temperate in this vast universe with billions of galaxies light years away, we are a grain of sand. However one night I saw something that was very high moving faster than one of our aircrafts and then speed up and disappear. It couldn't have been a comet or asteroid.

There are theories that these UAP's come from another dimension and there is one where they live here among us underground and in the oceans.

The one documented sighting that I do believe is the Navy Aviator, Commander Fravor. These were the tick tack shaped crafts off the West Coast and he gave testimony to the bipartisan Congressional task force on UFOs and UAPs.

Quote from: Sem on November 10, 2023, 09:46:34 AMOK, well my bad then. From your previous posts on the subject I assumed you had more than a passing interest in the UFO/UAP phenomenon. 
I do. I just wasn't captivated by this show. Although I haven't finished the series.

Quote from: uconnjack8 on November 10, 2023, 08:42:03 AMNot so sure about that.  Fields hasnt made the kind of progress in year 3 that makes you say he's definitely the guy.  Why not pick a QB at #1 and trade the 2nd pick, or even draft a difference maker at another position?
I think it depends on how he finishes the season. If he plays like he did against Washington and Denver, then they may decide to keep him. I agree that this is his pivotal year.

Quote from: DaveBrown74 on November 10, 2023, 09:26:21 AMFor sure. I know the above won't be team policy.

With that said, from a health/well-being perspective, with nothing to play for, I would hope they don't deliberately rush him back. I would say that even if we weren't in the running for a QB.
On a scale of one to ten with ten being the highest, please rank DJ, TT, TD, and Barkley.

I would rank them:
Jones 7
Taylor 7
Tommy 5
Barkley 3

Quote from: DaveBrown74 on November 10, 2023, 09:24:24 AMI think Arizona will win a game or two (at least) when Murray comes back. Murray is not elite, but he's not bad. He's way better than what they've had to this point.

With that said they clearly want to move on from him and want a top QB, plus their owner doesn't seem like someone with any scruples, so they may still find a way to tank.
If Murray wins a game, he goes on IR with a hangnail.

Quote from: DaveBrown74 on November 10, 2023, 07:10:13 AMNo rush, please. Season is over and losses help now, not hurt. The "winning culture" crap is a bunch of nonsense. You don't build a winning culture by fighting tooth and nail to be 5-12 instead of 3-14. That's idiotic. We need to be in the best draft position possible, period.
Purely a fan's perspective.

Quote from: Sem on November 10, 2023, 01:07:00 AMSquibber, I've now watched the first two episodes, thanks to you for putting on my radar. It seems to be well produced and it does hold my interest, even though it doesn't cover any new ground formulaically. But then again I wouldn't expect it to. I think @Ed Vette would enjoy this.
I apparently started watching it and left. Tried again and didn't hold my interest.

If he's cleared, they most likely bring him back. He's being paid. Doesn't mean he starts.

Big Blue Huddle / Re: QB is most of the problem
November 09, 2023, 07:43:58 PM
Quote from: Dgoodmantrublu on November 09, 2023, 05:45:58 PMAll year we've seen Jones make bad reads to throw short to covered guys. Opponents have mocked this tendency. So the chart backs up what we've seen on film. Pretending this doesn't happen seems like folly to me. And then we have the plays where he just can't hit guys who are open, which happened multiple times this week as well. He has been the biggest problem.

He's a key problem but this doesn't demonstrate he's the biggest problem. It's a combination of the QB, the protection, the execution of all offensive players, the preparation and the play calling in touch with the game flow and adjustments.

At what point were they open and what other related factors were involved.

No doubt he's not the QB this team needs. No doubt the Receivers created separated and I demonstrated that on multiple posts from the All-22.

This team imploded in a perfect storm.

Plenty of blame to go around.

No faith in The Italian Scallion?
Wait and see, he's gonna shock the world!  =))

Seriously though and I'm just kidding Tommy, the Oline should be better and with a balanced attack Tommy will take some shots to Hyatt. The Defense has to have a comeback game. Now get out there and X Shame Thibs.

If the Giants get #1 they will get calls from 2 and 3. That would be a ka-Ching!
This is why they play Tommy... lol
