I agree with the NFL stuff, but in general there isn’t “troop worship.” Odd statement. I’ve met a few assholes who were in the military but I still appreciate their service. Both of my brothers have been in the Army. They don’t like to be thanked or worshipped.

There's absolutely a culture of troop worship in this country, there are flyovers and "salutes to service" and other dumb ******** in this very football game, including guys wearing camo gear. There's a sense that simply being a troop makes you unimpeachable, the president is pandering to people by pardoning war criminals who were turned in by their own damn units for ****'s sake. It's absolutely stupid as hell that they ask veterans to stand at sporting events to be applauded and stuff like that. And that veterans get preference in seating on planes. All that crap. None of it exists outside this country, and it shouldn't exist here.

You are however correct that that very little of it is asked for by the troops. The only vets who really give a **** and aren't hugely embarrassed by the whole thing are pogue dipshits who peeled potatoes and got "asked to leave" the military because they got a DUI and have no other identity, them and the boot 18 year olds (or fresh lieutenants) who are too young and stupid to know better, in part because military training encourages you to be young and stupid. Also guys who served in the 80s.

Does it fit? You tell me?

They could've gone for it on 4th &1. Edelman was just standing there. The fact this is only a 10-6 game is scary.

They could of but I wouldn’t call the clock management inexcusable. Inexcusable would’ve been a pass to start the drive and Dallas getting the ball back with 2 min left with all their TOs.

Really cheesy goatee by Gronk .....looks like a beatnik (you younger folks will have to look that up!)

Gronk just crushed Dallas and Jerry Jones during the halftime show (joke about how they don’t like to practice in bad weather). That was legitimately funny.

Dallas has to happy where they’re at. We need to finish drives otherwise it will go down to the wire.

Calling on Scar. Your boys have some issues. Time to start fixing it bro.

Week 12 prediction has taken such a toll on me that I have lost interest in the competition.
Break.
Gronk always looks high on TV. Why does he not blink? looks unnatural.

Gronk is ever vigilant. He sleeps with both eyes open. He doesn't close his eyes when he sneezes.

Damn I didn't notice that. Honestly that dude should not block for us ever again.

Newhouse blows....and sucks!.... Tony Maserati

Did anyone REALLY believe he was going to make that kick in this weather?

Looking for a big James White drive to start the third.

I don't think being an analyst is his strongsuit...

Is “Mo Bamba” the funniest sounding rap song? I heard the Pats playing this on the field during the game.

I don’t get rap these days. The more you sound like you’ve had a stroke, the popular you are.

that kick came off his foot like the air pressure was to low, like a dead ball. It is about 35-36 degs and raining

I've kicked in that kind of weather. It's like kicking a bag of wet cement.

Bills are kinda looking for real

I was expecting the RBs to be more involved...screens, split out wide, motions. It is tough sledding and they have been moving the ball at times, but seems like White/Burkhead could be put to use

Probably only time to fix that Is in draft next year...

Can’t complain about allowing 6 points to this offense. First legit test of the season from a conventional offense (which the Ravens aren’t) and they’re passing so far.

A silver lining for me to look forward to, I suppose

Folk Me....Folk Us.....and most importantly....FOLK HIM!!!!!! Bad weather but come on you need to nail 1 out of 2.....Ugh

I mean everyone has missed fgs on that side of field and made the ones on the other side, so there is that.
