John Fox is a Stubborn Piece of Sh*t

shh delhommey, you know it's pure coincidence that fox let off the gas at the exact time that sean payton took out the rest of his starters. :rolleyes:

This isn't just to you Jase, but in general... Seriously, that's been the problem with Fox. I don't care if the starters were in there or not, ours were. You don't change how you play the game b/c of your record, their record, playoff implications, etc. You ALWAYS play to win, and play to win emphatically IMO.

Did Andy Reid call off the dogs in Week 1 when we pulled Jake? No. They were blitzing like the game had just started in the 4th Quarter and embarrassed us, after embarrassing us. They put our team in a collective piledriver and then put their foot on our throat when we were knocked unconscious. Same with Arizona last year.

Did they tone it down b/c they felt bad for Jake??? No. So neither should we. We should've ran it up on them. When I brought up Andy Reid doing it after week 1, everyone was like,"It's football, not tiddly winks..." And crap like that. "It's what he's supposed to do" "Belichick does it, that's what makes him the best..." There's no excuse. If it was the weather, I would understand, but it wasn't that...

And to ed bell, yes, it was projection on my part. If ESPN can do it, why can't I make up a story? Seriously, I don't know what he was thinking exactly, but I do know that it had to do with protecting his image as a coach and the guy that has his fingerprints on all the personnel moves. He didn't want to start Moore earlier b/c Jake was his guy and gave us "the best chance to win."

Well, apparently he didn't.

    • 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....
    • 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.
