When I see a white guy in a tv commercial I get all excited â€Ķand then  It turns out he’s the dum dum.

Why the hate? 😀

Shit has been going on for a long time. It's been, "fashionable" to make the white guy/father the bumbling idiot for the last 10+ years. It's the only demographic that can be freely roasted and pissed on with no push back. Considering our buying power, etc., it would be great to be able to give an organized, purposeful giant FU to all of these POS companies and marketing firms.

We're all too busy trying to provide for and keep our families together/in line to fuk with it so we keep losing ground.

The refs royally screwed up a call where Ridley caught a TD and they ruled it incomplete even after review.

That was weird.....2nd call today where the refs had a chance to keep a game close and chose the opposite way. First was Niners/Cards game

Earlier this year those calls almost always went to the team that was behind in the game.

That NOS/NYG game was as much of a statement on Barry's coaching/scheme as any game GB has played.

Barry's schemes work if one of two things happen.

1. Since he basically only rushes 4 guy 95% of the time, one or several of their DL has to dominate a matchup to consistently cause early pressure on the QB. For whatever reason, that worked against Detroit on Thanksgiving.

2. The other team's QB or WRs make mistakes. The Chargers had a bunch of bad drops. Fields threw a pick 6. Brett Rypien was terrible. Derek Carr got hurt in the second half and Winston is Winston. The Chiefs WRs are some of the worst in the NFL.

Most defensive coaches want to force the offense to beat them doing something they aren't comfortable with. Barry plays it safe and hopes the odds work in their favor in terms of the opponent making a mistake.

If you knew you were going to need to find guys to play Barry's scheme, high draft picks and large salary cap allocations for DBs are a waste of resources. They just sit in soft zone most of the time and keep things in front of them. There is no value of having shut down corners in that scheme. You just need average guys. You might as well spend all the money on pass rushers since those are the guys that are allowed to be aggressive (individually at least, not collectively in terms of blitzes, stunts, etc.).

It also works if the offense is scoring 30's every week.  That way, the other team needs to pass to keep up and preventing the big plays slows that process down.  MLF may have been banking on averaging 30's/game when he hired Barry.

I know, TB scored >30 but odds are they score less if the offense has a few more scoring drives and takes more time off the clock.  I'm not saying the failure of the D is in anyway on the offense.  Just guessing what MLF/JB had in mind in 2020.
