flacco can't believe it himself

Joe Flacco, looking like someone who would be cast as maybe a scientist in a Jurassic Park movie who dies early on. straggly beard going white at the chin

joe flacco, who once again is two years older than me and my knee makes a loud cracking noise when I stand up, just shoved the ball twice through an entire NFL defensive line

God that pass was just. gorgeous

flacco is cooking right now. and chase is just always in the perfect spot. I cannot stress enough how much this should not be happening

and we're BACK and just to paint a picture I'm watching this game and also listening to Reel Big Fish

RFK Jr: "When my uncle was president, the fertility rate in this country was 3.5%. Today it is 1.6%. The replacement rate -- in other words the amount of fertility you need to keep your population even -- is 2.1%. We are below replacement. That is a national security threat to our country."

a field goal means the bengals are 17-10 going into half time. all I can say is hahahahahahahaha

nicky woolf @nickywoolf.bsky.social · 1h

it's almost the end of the first half I should probably pace myself

nicky woolf @nickywoolf.bsky.social · 1h

...man that was almost grabbed by the steelers. dumb throw that higgins should have caught.

nicky woolf @nickywoolf.bsky.social · 1h

anyway, bengals have the ball back. the same play, out left to chase, who's wide open. making progress. second and 1 yard

what *am* I on about. whatever, it's 3am

nicky woolf @nickywoolf.bsky.social · 1h

a good NFL play is like nothing else. it's like - it's closer to tennis than football/soccer if anything. a game of playing the opponent, figuring out when they're going left and going right. it's played coach to coach more than the athletes executing the plays

MISSED YOU BRO

now they have to do something with it - and the first throw from flacco to chase, who was in the perfect place, is a really good start

nicky woolf @nickywoolf.bsky.social · 1h

they did! hahahaha suck it aaron

nicky woolf @nickywoolf.bsky.social · 1h

seems like... oh my god, did the bengals just steal the ball there? that would be psychologically such a big deal
