  1. I do agree with this part... It IS important to know why those expressing hatred are acting out as such. War is a causation that can be fixed: with no war. Pure hatred out of unreasonableness is less preventable or fixable. But back to the war side of it... The U.S. is not going to refrain from war against Japan after Pearl Harbor because of anti-war or anti-American demonstrations. The U.S. is not going to refrain from tracking down criminal mastermind Osama Bin Laden because there will be casualties in Afghanistan, and the subsequent anti-American demonstrations and hatred... Israel has the same right to defend it's citizens against these terrorists. Even though it will cause countless deaths in Gaza, and the subsequent anti-Israel/Jewish/ antisemitic/ antiwar demonstrations. A little of each.
  2. It doesn't matter WHY that happened. Surrounding, heckling, intimidating, impeding a Jewish person... BECAUSE of the war, does not change antisemitism into NOT. Similar to America creating casualties in Afghanistan while they went after Bin Laden. There were Anti-American demonstrations all over the world due to the casualties/ deaths caused by that war. Are you sayin that they were NOT anti-American demonstrations... because it was simply due to the war? That doesn't make sense. Antisemitism is antisemitism, REGARDLESS whether the reason or cause is pure hatred of Jews, sectarianism, war, whatever... Antisemitism is still antisemitism.
  3. Dude... You're the one trying to wriggle out of calling antisemitism antisemitism by splitting hairs/ reaching for justifications to do so.
  4. You're living in the past dude.
  5. Which means he's the #3 guy. I'm not saying he's losing his #3 spot... because Jamo just isn't ready yet. But he's the #3 receiver. "By default" doesn't qualify.
  6. You're trying to "default" Reynolds into the #2 from the lack of a real #2. I'm not giving you an answer on past history. I'm telling you what's going to happen from now until the end of the season.
  7. You are not correct. But... Let's just see what happens on the field. And take it from there...
  8. No... DPJ is going to become the #2. Sort of an Amon-Ra-lite. Josh's highest targets was 80 with the Rams in 2020. 618 yards. His next highest is 59 last year with the Lions, 479 yards; and his numbers look like he'll hit roughly 60 targets this year, but might bust through his highest yardage total as he has 397 so far this year. He's 28 y.o. He's used primarily as a deep threat. DPJ had 96 targets last year and 839 yards. He's 24 y.o. He's used inside/ outside/ deep threat/ short/ intermediate/ tough catches. How exactly is Josh going to be the #2. His familiarity with Goff? Oh wait... he's NOT going to be the #2. Josh will be the #3 deep guy as he's always been with Goff. Not an every-type of catch in the book guy like DPJ. When Jamo gets up to speed; he will first pressure Josh for playing time at the #3 deep threat guy. He should be able to grow into more than that... but he'll first need to beat out Josh with reliability... and he's not there yet. Just my 2 cents.
  9. Wrong answers/ choices. Correct answer: Patrick Surtain II
  10. How is it possible to increase Palestinian hatred, contempt, and antisemitism (wrong word, they are also Semites; try anti-Jewish hatred) towards the Jews? Answer: It's NOT possible. They already want to exterminate all Jews. So: how is it possible to increase hatred, above that?
  11. Holmes has built this team into a playoff-quality team. With talent. Everywhere. All the other whining in here is meaningless.
  12. Lions are expecting James Houston to return... And I think they like Julian Okwara at this point, as a pass-rush specialist... Don't know if they were factoring that in... Just sayin'...
  13. I'd prefer a CB over a pass-rusher, btw.
  14. Yeah, good job buddha! Might be competition for Jamo this year but I think it's eventually Josh Reynolds that loses out. All depends on Jamo and his learning curve (which has admittedly been quite long so far...)
  15. Donovan Peoples-Jones...
  16. The makeshift interior O-line played surprisingly outstanding... that's a game-winner right there. That includes opening lanes just enough for Gibbs to squeeze through and then display his magic... And Skipper playing LG and noone misses a beat?!?! Dayum!!! Yes, nice to see Fraley get highlighted by the MNF announcers...
  17. Maybe they were all just waiting to see if the murderer needed assistance?
  18. Key point. And great comeback from the Ravens game. Particularly that they were basically in control of the game from start to finish... Despite some snafus...
  19. And they did that with 3 make-shift interior lineman AND an injury to LG Awosika, so Skipper plays LG? I'm impressed with this team. No doubt.
  20. Also... that should NOT have stayed a fumble on Craig. He was down.
  21. What'd I say? 23-9? 26-14 is close enough... and Goff gave them 7 of those... Shoulda/ coulda been 37-14 or so but... A win is a win. 6-2 and in control of the division.
  22. A little sloppy... But not poorly played. Except for maybe the 7 points gimme to the Raiders by Goff's INT... Bye week coming with perfect timing... Both for healing injuries and for tightening up fundamentals...
