So my theory about how the caste system got started is that the league consciously wanted to integrate more blacks into the NFL back in the day. They wanted them to play in more visible positions like running back and wide receivers since they knew that they certainly did not have the necessary cognitive ability (in most cases not all of course) for QB. So those positions became black only positions since whites had the main prize locked down. It was like a peace offering sacrifice. I think that was how it began perhaps, but then it just spiraled out of control and stereotypes set in. Now they want the whole damned thing. But interestingly enough you can see that ever since blacks started taking more QB positions, doors have opened for whites at firmerly black positions.

Amendola is very underrated. He s a big gamer. I don't think they win the super bowl without him.

I hope the White players who the blacks intentionally try to injure never forget who was responsible for it...

CrazyFinn with the best post of the week!
It was the worst week in a long time for White receivers. Decker with a goose egg after finally getting thrown to the week before, Jordy's season likely ruined by Rodgers' injury, Hogan not being used as a deep threat this year (but neither is Cooks much, I think it has a lot to do with Brady's age and the league in general being more dink and dunk than ever). Thielen still getting targets but he's yet to score. Kupp had the only score but not a lot of yards. Just not a lot to cheer for yesterday other than many White QBs continuing to do well and many black ones face planting per usual.

Regarding the post above by Don, there is a dreariness setting into the season. The young pups like Switzer and CM have yet to make any real splash plays and that has been extremely frustrating. Kupp has been OK so far. The reliable Decker and Jordy were reduced to rubble yesterday and everything seems so limited with the white WR's. Lack of big time splash plays and consistent week to week stats has been a real downer. At least Hogan caught a couple of deeper type passes last night (4-71) but he nearly got injured when a DB drove him into the ground with some extra mustard and once again this black on white targeting is getting old real fast. I guess we could take some comfort in the fact that a lot of black receivers are having up and down years too.
Carolina and that dumb ass coaching staff and lumbering QB need to get their act together otherwise CM will continue to just tread water if that. They need to get their emotional leader Kuechly back. On a similar note Sean Lee returned to the Cowboys and that seemed to have settled them down. Lee and S Heath make quite a duo. And some of the younger defensive players are making a difference like Watt and Bosa, who had two sacks yesterday. And LB Vigil has played well for the Bengals. Add on this Anthem stuff and this is arguably one of the worst starts to a season I can remember. A routine dullness has already settled in and too many black WR's are bitching up a storm about targets. I never see a white WR howling about that. With a half season left I still expect improvements especially from CM and Switzer who for the most part have been BOTTLED UP despite all those catches from CM. Lost in his paltry yards per catch is the fact that he has the softest hands that reels everything in. Carolina misses Olsen who opened up a lot of avenues for them. A big loss.
It wouldn't surprise me if Green Bay QB Hundley ( didn't see any at UCLA that's for damn sure) has never thrown a pass to a white person in his entire life so he saw Jordy out there and said to himself this does not compute. Of course the killer for so many white WR's are these happy feet black QB's who can't throw worth a lick and look to take off at any second. As for Cleveland who was lauded by almost everyone on draft day, once again they missed the boat by a country mile. In fact Mel Kiper questioned whether QB Kizer qualifies as an actual NFL player and the answer so far is a resounding no.

For me the most troubling trend is how the Bears are approaching Trubisky. He had 7 attempts yesterday which is beyond ridiculous. The defense put up the points for Chicago but at the same time don't you want to develop your qb.

What I don't understand is how Tanner Gentry isn't a starter for that receiving group.

I watched the entire game and the Bears didn't want any mistakes as they settled for the inept Panthers to stub their feet an every key interval. Weird game because Carolina had the ball almost the entire game and still could only manage 3 points mostly because Cam made several huge bone head plays. So the Bears went conservative of offense , the few times they had the ball and it worked although in the future the Bears need to show a pulse on offense. This clamming up like a turtle will get you nowhere in the long run but with such a young QB patience and caution is customary.
A few more notes. WR Jordan Taylor did not have a bang up day( 1-7) and Denver is in a muddle. Both Cole Beasley and Alex Erickson only caught one ball a piece but each catch went over 20 yards. I prefer that stat line to a say 4-23 stat line. This dink and dunk crap drives me crazy. And generally the dink and dunk stuff that CM has been catching are not wheel routs or longer screen passes. They are simply dump shots right in front of defenders. Carolina continues to feed the ball to CM with not an inch of wiggle room. He barely takes a step and a defender or two are squatting right there. Half the time he is at a full stop facing Newton as he catches the ball with no momentum. This has been going on all season. They need a creative offensive mind in the worst way but it doesn't help to have fumble foot as your QB. CM needs just enough real estate to survey the field and make a move. So far it is like he has been playing in a broom closet.
Also since Carson Wentz and Mike Trout are best buddies and Trout who is from South Jersey is a life long Eagles and Phillies fan I suspect Trout will be at the game tonight.

I have no problem with what Chicago is doing with Trubisky. They're bringing him along slowly, which is just as well considering they have the worst receiving group in the league. If he was throwing it downfield and a couple were picked and the Bears ended up losing because of it, the howls for him to be benched would already be starting. The Bears have won the last two games being very conservative with Mitch, and that's far and away what counts at this point.

DWF favorite T.Y Hilton throws his O-line under the bus
T.Y. Hilton After Colts' Loss: 'It Is the Offensive Line. They Need to Block'
JOSEPH ZUCKEROCTOBER 22, 2017
Indianapolis Colts wide receiver T.Y. Hilton didn't mince words about whom to blame for his team's 27-0 defeat by the Jacksonville Jaguars.
"It is the offensive line. They need to block," Hilton said after the game, per Charlie Clifford of WISH-TV in Indianapolis.
The Jaguars sacked Colts quarterback Jacoby Brissett 10 times, which was a franchise record for Indianapolis, according to the Indianapolis Star's Zak Keefer.
Pass protection isn't an issue limited to just Sunday for the Colts. They entered Week 7 having allowed 19 sacks, tied for sixth-most in the NFL. The Indianapolis offensive line also ranked 30th in adjusted sack rate as well, per Football Outsiders.

After the Colts finished 28th in adjusted sack rate in 2016, team owner Jim Irsay attempted to allay any fears about the offensive line.
"Let me say this: The offensive line is fixed," Irsay said in June, per ESPN.com's Mike Wells. "I'm telling you guys, the offensive line is fixed. The reason I'll tell you it's fixed is because [former Colts offensive line coach] Howard Mudd told me it's fixed. If Howard Mudd tells you it's fixed, trust me, it's fixed."
Of course, the Colts didn't actually do anything to improve the line beyond selecting Zach Banner in the fourth round of the NFL draft. Indianapolis subsequently waived Banner in September.
Given that, it's little surprise the Colts have one of the NFL's worst offensive lines for a second straight season.

How many of the O-linemen are White?
Hopefully this wakes up more people leading to more empty seats and more folks turning it off and tuning out from the League of thuggish clowns.

I'm pretty sure they have a mostly White line this year
