A perfect example of how correlation does not equate to causation. As has been explained in this thread (with cited evidence), Ivermectin has not been proven to be effective against COVID and in fact has been pulled from use where it was tried. Please stop with false equivalence such as that one.

I don't see why this is so controversial if its really about health...


Because those "alternate treatments" haven't proven to be effective, and when they are used as a justification for not getting vaccinated, it puts other people at risk.

It's pretty simple concept that's truly "about health".


Except Aaron Rodgers and Joe Rogan apparently took Ivermectin and neither have dropped dead because of it. So I just don't see why its so terrible they didn't get a vaccine if this seems to have worked?

Plus I doubt they have to take it every few months like the booster shots that are going to be rolled out for this vaccine..

The best thing about the NFL is the parity and the fact that almost all the regular season games really mean something in the playoff standings.

Tampa Bay losing 2 in a row, Rams getting bullied physically 2 games in a row, the Titans rolling even without Henry....who can figure this league out?

Bettors: check out NFL underdogs whenever possible. Take the points when in doubt, 57% this year for underdogs covering. Don't quote me of course.

Thereā€™s no evidence that it worked or to what degree. People who take it die and people who donā€™t survive. Rodgers isnā€™t exactly in a high risk group so itā€™s entirely likely that he would survive covid without hospitalization (although we will see if he has any long covid issues down the road). Thereā€™s also more evidence that the pushing of ivermectin has resulted in a lot more people being harmed by it than helped. And then thereā€™s the idea that part of the vaccineā€™s purpose is to drive down spread.

I wouldn't mind seeing Ivermectin administered to people who already have been vaccinated. I'm concerned about those Hoosiers/Indianans who are infested with hookworms.

It's a long, dangerous walk to the outhouse.

I've learned to never trust the Raiders. Maybe they could have ran more cover 2 against Mahomes, but they'll always find a way to mess it up. Chargers are struggling but they have Herbert so they're in good hands. I wish Joe Lombardi would stop being so conservative and just let Herbert sling it more often. Broncos have a talented defense but until they solidify the qb position, they'll always be a treadmill team. Chiefs still have the most experience and they have Mahomes.

Mac Jones is lighting it up. He's been very accurate, putting the ball on the numbers or the hands with a good lead. Receivers don't have to break stride. NE leading Falcons 10 0 2nd quarter. NE's playing great football.

Though I thought Mac Jones should have sat (like all rookie QBs) I can't say I'm surprised at his success, I was jocking that guy prior to the draft, I thought he was an underrated gem. He was a much better prospect than everyone (both teams and major draft evaluation sites) realized.

He's fortunate to not have been drafted higher. He may have gone to a bad team. He was low enough to get a good team and an excellent coach in NE.

He's outplaying all those drafted higher.

What's impressive is that he's doing this with an uncharacteristically bad New England offensive line. He's been getting the snot kicked out of him all season, and yet he remains poised in the pocket.

Some guys are just easy to coach, particularly those that have an intuitive grasp of the game, think fast, and don't get rattled. Look at the way he sets up screen passes, all the little things that are important are on full display: He artfully sells the pass play, which draws in the defensive lineman to him rather than into containment, he then times it so they're ready to clobber him, the puts just the right amount of touch on the pass to the RB/TE so that the pass is catchable, yet not too slow and soft for the defense to recover. It's the little things in this game, and he's got it.

I was flying to Virginia last night and was in the air during the Falcons-Pats game, but I was able to watch on the plane. If that wasn't the worst quarterbacked game of the year from Matt Ryan, I'm not sure what was. He was stunningly terrible. That sack he took on 3rd and a foot in the 2nd quarter was one of the worst and dumbest sacks I've ever seen, truly. He saw the guy the entire time, and how you don't get rid of that ball to avoid the sack is beyond me. They were clearly going to go for it on 4th and short if the pass failed, but no, let's take a 13-yard loss on 3rd and inches!

Idiot.

Heā€™s fortunate to have Josh Mcdaniels who remains one of the better play callers around the league. That isnā€™t to diminish Mac, who still has to execute the plays and has shown tremendous poise doing so. He has been particularly great at identifying the open man pre-snap.

Would that be as stupid as a pass play on 3rd and 1, leading 28-12 with only 8:34 left to play in the Super Bowl? Not to mention losing track of the MLB (some guy named Hightower) who is looking blitz right at the line of scrimmage.

I sense a pattern.

I honestly don't despise the call of a pass in that spot (last night), like, look, maybe you think you saw something and you could catch them, and you do have going for it on 4th and short in your back pocket. That part I can live with. What I cannot fathom is taking the sack there. And it's not like it was a blindside hit. He tried to buy time, the play wasn't there, he sees the guy coming, and instead of just getting rid of it, he tries to run by him, even though he's a statue. It was genuinely one of the dumbest plays by a QB I've ever seen.

Matt Ryan is basically Atlanta's version of Philip Rivers.

A guy who puts up a lot of numbers but is slow footed and a relic from another time. Everything has to be perfect on a play for guys like that to be effective.

I don't know why but I've never fully bought into Josh Allen. I think people become enamored by his big plays, but I'm not particularly impressed by his pocket presence nor by his ability to sling it vs man coverage.

Definitely not the same without Jaire Alexander, that's for sure. Still, they are legitimately one of the Super Bowl contenders in a year where there is no dominant team.

After watching the game tonight, I'm still in shock when I see Brady's arm strength. He legitimately still makes all the necessary NFL throws, combined with otherwordly pocket presence. I don't know what kind of secret sauce this dude is on, but when I think about my soon-to-be 80-year-old father blasting drives 250+ off the tee still, I guess some dudes just don't lose it!

I'm sure he's a good guy, but Kevin King needs to retire.

Ha, I know the Packers love to draft and develop, but yes, he hasn't panned out. But it does look like their rookie corner this year, Stokes, will be considerably better.
