It's motivation. Everyone was on pIckens for dogging it, so he has to show up for a week or two before going back to loafing.

I hope Charlie Jones catches a long TD. -

You don't even understand what the technology is. You think people are going to have fusion reactors in their homes. -

It just occurred to me that some of you might think this is like in back to future when Doc just drops some soda and some old banana peels in his Mr. Fusion reactor hanging off his Delorean. This isn't anywhere even close to that. -

If you truly had unlimited free energy, you're correct that it would be a significant advancement. But you guys get that no development entity is going to allow anyone but themselves to own the IP for this technology right? These companies will just charge everyone for the power and say they need to charge some amount that is suspiciously close to what we pay now in order to cover development costs. Then when they have a monopoly on power all of the sudden this "free" power is going to have a bunch of maintenance and NRE costs associated with it that we all have to pay for. -

I think you guys are letting your imaginations run wild. It's a way to generate power. It's not a new power delivery system. -

We're talking about reactions that need magnetic fields to hold it because if the byproducts of this process touches any known substance in the world, it melts it and then destroys everything around it. These aren't going to be in people's homes. -

Why would we replace our entire infrastructure? Electricity is electricity. At the end of the day, we need wires to carry it around. -

I guess the way you would have to do it is some smart guys come up with some awesome power generation scheme. They would want to use the existing infrastructure to deliver. That would probably look like companies like AEP leasing that infrastructure. But sure, I mean we can dream about free power. I'm sure these power tycoons will give it away. -

I think this free energy concept is dumb though. Insulin costs what to make? 10 cents per dose? Doesn't that 1 company that has a patent on the insulin gouge the hell out of everybody? If a company did develop a reliable delivery mechanism, they'll want to recoup the billions and billions of development cost which means they'll undercut traditional power companies to put them out of business and then jack up everyone's prices. -

It's a huge competitive advantage so there would be resistance to sharing it. The energy consumption of bitcoin mining becomes a complete non-issue The revenue streams of the middle east dry up and those nations whither and die. They'll be back to chopping each other's heads off as their primary industry. Except Iran has nukes, so as the famines start setting in, and the governments destabilize, the US will have to step in and fight a war to disarm them. Space travel will become more efficient as fusion reactors will power rockets. As harnessing fusion becomes more attainable, weapons will become more lethal. We can probably expect China to strap something to a hyper sonic, so the US will have to do it first. My expectation is a new level of arms race will follow. For countries that do have sustainable energy, containing the reaction is huge problem. Someone will mess that up and the first few reactors will destroy themselves. This will cause the government to regulate it to death. Law of unintended consequences. I'm sure we'll figure out a way to destroy ourselves with this wonderful achievement. -

You can always tell the people who have no clue about actual science. Reads a 200 word press release... THROW AS MUCH MONEY AS POSSIBLE AT THIS!!!! IT WILL SOLVE EVERY PROBLEM IN THE WORLD!!!! SCIENCE!!!! Same folks that forced covid jabs on everyone, of course. -
Obviously going to have to play zone the whole time.

Reed Blankenship is a passable safety for my IDP team, and I can't tell if Harrison Smith qualifies, but they could take care of the safety position. Hunter Renfrow is pretty quick, so we'll have to try him out at one corner position.

tj watt, maxx crosby, nick and joey, trey hendrickson... Not sure who the hell would be covering tyreek though.

Lane Johnson down, but he's writhing in pain which means he'll be back in a few plays.

QB - Josh Allen, Burrow RB - Christian McCaffery, Kyle Juscycckzckc, WR - Kupp, Nakua, Thielin TE - Kelce, Mark Andrews Oline - Lane Johnson, Nelson, Kelce, Zach Martin, Andrew Thomas

I hate those grounding calls. I reiterate my stance that a defender should have to be touching you or have touched you.
-
I don't get why the linebackers jump on the qbs back in the tush push. All it does is help them fall forward. You'd be better off just pushing your defensive lineman.

This is a very Trevor Lawrence game. Drops the ball for no reason, and then flakes in the two minute by not spiking the ball.
