I was actually hoping that Bill was going to do the right thing and he did, Mac has looked good out there with mostly 2nd and 3rd stringers and he has the respect of the veterans already too, Quite sure they approached Cam to be the backup and he rejected it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TauntonBlizzard2013 Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 I mean… everyone with eyeballs knew Mac outperformed Cam by a fairly wide margin this summer. I just didn’t think bill had the stones to make the move. Im surprised he did it, but not because of performance reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typhoon Tip Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 1 hour ago, dendrite said: Kinda saw this coming. Bill loves dramatic cuts before the regular season. Bill gave the frolicked locker-room jocularity bid it's go in 2020 ... It's not a tact he likes or probably more like 'respects' very much, being apropos. Then COVID and other BS interceded and though he's a well education very rational guy, he is human ... ( not the emperor in 'Jedi), and his bias against the former ways and means of team management, having a short rope, my hunch he was itching for it anyway. So, he wants to get back to the model that he's use to winning with - a Gestapo camp, where the personnel on the field are too terrified of stepping out side the machinery of the system. What better way to do that than to can the 'cool guy.' The specter of the most popular guy in the locker-room, walking for the exit, chin down. It's got an upside in his mind - he gets to play the shrewd inside mogul, while in reality he's done with the shenanigans. Win win, as he feels the tangible AND intangible favors winning. Hey, it worked before - right ? Sorta - I mean, TB leaving, and then summarily, the organization puts up a barely audible above 500 year and fails the playoff cut isn't a great look. Meanwhile said QB saunters on down to TB ( no pun intended ...) and oh by the way, throws another trophy up on his legacy and brings TB back to discussion for a few years. But hey, COVID got in the way ... maybe. And once is not a valid sample set ...Bill gets to "hide" behind that by accident or design. In the meantime, Jones scored on every single drive he Quarterbacked during the preseason. Every one. Be it a TD or FG, he scored. Cam did not do this. What he did do, is jeopardize the organization with a COVID scare, after he already jeopardized the organization last year, ...with a COVID scare. That too, is/was not a good look. And the human side of the espouse master strategist maaaybe just sort of go pissed off at the guy, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cam already fooked up when he had covid last year, Then this, Plain and simple, He sucked, Look at his preseason stats, Then look up Mac's, Jones was 8-8 on drives that either resulted in TD's or FG's and mainly with 2nd and 3rd stringers, Now he has the reigns with the starters.

I can believe that if it’s during that time. The 1810s-1830s were brutally cold here with the little data we do have. We were getting a ton of volcanic activity (including Tambora) aiding things and probably the decadal cycles helped too. Temps actually rose quite a bit from 1830s to 1880s before falling again toward the 1910s and then rising hugely in through the early 1950s (and then briefly cooling again in the 1960s/1970s). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavisStraight Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 11 hours ago, Lava Rock said: I tried experimenting last year with gummies. Started at 10mg, which did almost nothing, then went to 20mg then 30mg one night. that was a mistake as I had bad anxiety the rest of the night. Now 20mg in combo with a few drinks and I was laughing my ass off at my friend this summer as he was rambling on about some story. I busted out laughing and told him to stop talking as in my small euphoria, it seemed like his talking would never end. I'd like to get to the happy feeling with just gummies alone, but the amount it would take would bring on bad anxiety instead. For some reason, the alcohol, in combo got where I wanted to be, but I'm not doing that very often. I bought some gummies supposedly for pain and had wicked anxiety, I took just one gummy so that was the end of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think 6-7 players out positive with COVID now? Most of the bullpen, Barnes, Taylor, Sawamura, etc, Kike Hernandez, then Bogaerts got pulled mid-game for a positive test. He’s very tight with Devers, who is now playing shortstop for many games possibly (lol) if he’s not positive. It’s not even competitive at this point, almost comical. Just get a wild card game with the Yankees, ha. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what’s coming but I can’t turn away. Sort of like when a healthy snowstorm was looking fantastic 48 hours out but you just slowly watch the next 6 model cycles take it away. You keep checking in each model cycle just to make sure it’s really happening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
