I didn't stay up for the Bills-Ravens denouement, but am loving the result.  :laugh:

Another season of the New England Patriots aspiring to be mediocre.

The Bills-Ravens game was phenomenal.  Like watching two heavy weight champion fighters slug it out for 15 rounds.

Congrats, Bills!  The AFC East is all yours.  The Jets are ... The Jets.  Miami Dolphins have beached themselves.  The Patriots have reverted to the mean, to be The Patsies of old.

Thank goodness the Steelers didn't keep Wilson or Fields (both were on the roster last year).

Since in the current day, Qbacks almost double as running backs, this is no surprise to me @DCPatriot .

At one time the Qback was instructed to stay in the pocket.

@berdie

Yes, you're right, but it seems odd that it went from less than 10% to over 50% in my lifetime.

Thought about possibly the number of Black High School and College QBs would explain the increase.

Re the above graphic, this week's results:

Young - lost
Williams - plays Monday vs. Vikings
Ward - lost
Stroud - lost
Prescott - lost
Smith - won
Hurts - won
Daniels - won
Love - won
Fields - lost
Murray - won
Jackson - lost
Penix - lost
Mahomes - lost
Wilson - lost
Rattler - lost

So the brothers were 5-10 in Week 1, with the game yet to be decided a probable L (Vikings are favored against Williams' Bears). Well, at least there are social justice slogans on their fields. It takes all of us! Inspire change! End racism!

UPDATE: Williams' Bears lost Monday night after the Vikings came from behind. Final tally 5-11.

@DCPatriot - I told Mr. M about the graphic you posted, and that got us wondering, so I did a little research.

Remember when Rush Limbaugh lost his MNF job for simply stating that people wanted to see this?

At least a quarter of them are mixed race, not black.

True, but I guess it's all in how they "identify."

They needed the white gene to make them great.
