    Arizona Cardinals @ Seattle Seahawks Pre Game Thread. 11/17/24-11/23/24

    I think you missed the point. I didn't say we SHOULD be 8-2 I said we could quite easily be 8-2. We've played well in all but 2 of our games, Washington and Green Bay. Buffalo we had the ball down 6 at their 32 yard line with plenty of time to win it. But 3 incompletions sandwiched around an...

    Arizona Cardinals @ Seattle Seahawks Pre Game Thread. 11/17/24-11/23/24

    The thing that's really starting to catch my attention, and i think NFL people all over now is that look at our 4 losses. Detroit is 9-1, Buffalo is 9-2, Green Bay is 7-3, Washington 7-4. That's 32-10 combined record in our losses. We could have won both Buffalo and Detroit games, so we're 6-4...

    2024 3rd round pick #66 is Trey Benson RB

    He was quoted last week saying the light went on, the game is slowing down, credited James Conner and said he has seen it coming in practice and it's now carrying over to games. Also said he watches Conner break tackles and it motivates him to do that same thing. I said earlier in the year I...

    no I mean literally daily spending. It is now coming out of savings or retirement savings and it's so hard to remind myself that was the point of saving all these years. That I don't HAVE to keep my spending at a level where the principal doesn't go down. It would be great if I bring in more...

    Credit Card Perks thread

    That's always been my philosophy learned it from my mom. Luckily Lucy is the same way, both of us have credit scores over 800 because of that. I only recently found out my Capital One Venture card counts all sorts of things as travel that get 2X in points redemption. I was about to redeem a...

    The Market 2022-2023-2024

    Didn't inherit but I'm in the same boat. I retired Aug 2nd, my plan depended on certain assumptions one being that we could eventually get Covered California to bridge the gap until 65 for Medicare. Now in theory both of those are in jeopardy. I turn 59 Nov 28 so I'm on Cobra now with a plan to...

    The Market 2022-2023-2024

    I think it was largely due to the CPI numbers. It basically reinforced the notion that we're still in a bit of risk, inflation isn't completely under control so they still have to be careful about interest rates. The election thing IMO was more about uncertainty, I think if Harris had won the...

    no they have windows they're allowed to sell in and she's been in the window several times but she keeps thinking it will go back up to where it was before so she's waiting and it just keeps falling. She knows now. I told her at 600 to sell it all and she said no I'm waiting for 800 again. I...

    My guess is he'll do whatever he can to keep the markets high because that benefits his donors, but yeah eventually if he causes inflation and hurts GDP, it's going to impact the markets too

    Feel bad for her but she keeps making the same mistake, I will wait a few days to see if it goes up. It was at 600 when the first story came out, then it did the 10 to 1 split and it's now at 18 so it's lost almost 75% of the value since the first story hit. It was briefly at 1000 so absolutely...

    2024-2025 Around the NBA Thread

    That was vintage too and I loved the sequence. Klay hit a big three and did the Steph shimmy, and then Steph, who hadn't scored a point in the quarter went on a personal 10-0 run to ice it. It's pretty crazy either everyone is mediocre or there's a bunch of good teams this year. Dallas is...

    No Norton only lets me pick the country or geographic region not the state. I am suspicious that sometimes the VPN doesn't come on right away and that alone is long enough to tip off people where I am before the VPN takes over. This is all I get. I get a list of countries from the dropdown...

    Cord Cutters

    Won't that slow down the laptop even more than Norton does? Can you have someone else's VPN running at the same time Norton is running? I can tell certain sites can clearly see where I am despite the VPN because things are suddenly in Filipino not English, or targeted ads are for here instead...

    Mixed bag here my VPN is Norton. I can't access MGM+ to watch From, even with the VPN on it knows I'm in the Philippines. Netflix, Disney Plus and Amazon Prime and Paramount Plus all work with VPN. I cancelled MGM+ for now since I'm here awhile. Still haven't figured out a good permanent wifi...

    Wireless hotspot that can use 2 sim cards?

    Glocal Me does work, bandwidth is an issue just 2 FB calls from Lucy's mom wiped out almost all of the first 7 day plan I bought but it worked for what we wanted at the airport

    Not sure what time it is where you are but game started at 5:25 am for me I'm in the Philippines. Power went out at 4, I was getting ready to put on my hotspot to watch and then power came back off. I have never watched a game this early

    Give Tune the 4th quarter, run Benson and DeMercado and let Kyler and Conner rest. What a great game and the defense my goodness.

    The Garrett Williams pick looks better and better every week. I still love me some Achane but I am no longer mad we picked GW

    I have Conner and Benson in this week because of injuries but I can't be mad that was such a great fake and run by Kyler. Absolutely masterful drive.

    Oh yeah I'm just saying Benson 28 yards rushing plus the catch that's an element we weren't getting from him. The last few games the light has come on for him. THe other stuff is all true and I'm thrilled to see Marv improving too but Benson is a potential huge addition to our offense and he...

    I'm thinking unless the Jets score a TD on the first drive we'll see the run game more as they will want to protect Kyler. On that last drive the 3rd down run by Conner that got stuffed if Kyler pulls that he might score but I'm glad he didn't because after that huge hit I think no point taking...

    with a big lead and all the great play it will sound dumb but to me the best part of this whole game is Trey Benson. He seems to have figured it out and he can be such a HUGE addition to this offense spelling Conner. If what he's doing to today is real it really expands our offense

    perfect throw nice catch TD

    I don't care what the playcall was Dortch has to at least TRY to chip Williams there. Obviously Kyler has to feel the blitz too but you can't let your franchise QB get hit like that without at least trying to slow the rusher
