Expect a Loss Monday Night

Everyone who has frequented this board for any lengthened amount of time knows that I love this team with all that I am. But, I've come to the conclusion that something just isn't right with this team.

I hope they come out and surprise me Monday night, but I'm not holding my breath. On top of that, it's the Dallas Cowboys. If the last two games would've been switched and we were playing Atlanta on MNF instead, I would definitely think we could come out with a win. But, it's the Dallas Cowboys, it's MNF, national audience - You know what that means.

I'm guessing we get Mike Carey or Hocculi... One of the good company men as the head official. And thus, I expect similar results as past games. Obvious no calls, and blatant should've been no calls in the Cowgirls' favor. It's happened every time...

From Pepper's blocked FG that was ruled that he didn't touch it, to the Pass Interference calls on Drew Carter and Steve Smith, to any other one you can name. When we have played them in a Nationally Televised game that wasn't a playoff game, we have gotten screwed. BIG TIME.

And b/c of that, I expect to lose despite our efforts or improvements as a team this week. The schedule didn't work in our favor, and the officiating definitely won't this week. I know, officials supposedly don't win or lose games, but against Dallas, the calls that were or weren't made did win or lose the games.

Like I said, I hope our guys surprise me this week, but I don't expect it to be drastic enough to beat Dallas and their traveling crew of officials.

      He's not wrong though. You talk like a politician on here. Leaving yourself just enough wiggle room to say you never fully counted Bryce out if you need to....But we can all see it. Just say you think he is a bust outright and you will have to type a lot less. Obfuscating your opinion behind QB3 competitions etc....

      Experience with Electric Vehicles?

      By d-dave · Posted

      Most EVs are in the 90+ e-MPG meaning some measurement house somewhere compares the EV to a similar ICE model and works out how much is costs to charge (on average) versus fill up as a point of comparison. Talking long term, in the hundreds of thousands of miles?  No clue.  Some early signs are that EV batteries maintain 80% charge over 400k miles.  So there's that.   The challenge and charm of an ICE vehicle is being able to park it under a tree, get your jack stands out and tinker with your engine.  There's just not that same level of complexity in an EV.  I saw someone estimate there are 200 or so moving parts in an EV, and 2000 in an ICE vehicle.  I'm not a part counter so I can't really speak to that. I think that the EV is more the future than any type of combustion engine.  Those will still be around in specific purposes, but for most people - an EV will be the superior option in terms of efficiency.  I say that as someone who loves stupid horsepower numbers out of turbo 4 bangers and inline 6s...  I am one of those tinkers when I can be. A bigger issue for EVs is going to be the ownership versus lease.  Right now, there are INSANE leases on EVs, which is great, but what do you have at the end of that lease?  Nada, maybe some equity if you're lucky.  Where as I'm almost done paying for my car, and plan to keep it until the wheels fall off (or my son wrecks it when he starts to drive).  Will EV makers do the smartphone thing and build in planned obsolesce?  Stop updating software?  I love the tech in EVs, and I think getting more cars and trucks off the road is a good thing.  But I am still just a little concerned.  Capitalism has gotten far too extractive.
