Just realized that's the order in the summary. I go through the game description and make my pick, scroll down, write it, scroll up, read next game description...
Yay inefficiency!

Dragging things out too long without winning? Shoot, I didn't know you did coaching metaphors, Frank Beamer.
Careful, talk like that might make him have to dry his weepy eyes with the stacks of hundreds he keeps lying around his house.
In all seriousness, he's an idiot in the same regard that Jerry Springer is an idiot. Finebaum is a shrewd businessman whose model is founded on appealing to the lowest common denominator.
Although the man is a panderer of the basest sort, I would be interested to hear what he would have to say about a Virginia Tech head coaching vacancy.
I regret that I have but one leg to give for this Book of Mormon gif.
I've heard that a lot. The only counterargument I can give is, if they overused the walker guts concealment, they also would need to show people getting sick and dying from exposure like that. Rub parts of a corpse all over yourself multiple times and see how long it takes to start coming down with some funky systemic infection.
There are actual studies that show complaints regarding officiating is inversely proportionate to the number of wins a team has. People only talk about officiating when they're losing.
There have been some egregious officiating mistakes this year, just like there are every year. I have noticed no more and no less than I noticed during the years we were winning 10+ games a year. The only game that I thought was particularly notable for poor officiating was ECU.
There's always going to be errors by the officials. But let's be clear: we are not 3-5 because of the officials. We're 3-5 because we are a bad, poorly coached football team.

# | Duke Downs Tech 45-43 in Gut-Wrenching 4 OT Loss, Ratcheting Up Pressure on Frank Beamer Exactly. And to further elaborate, if we had been 7-6 for twenty years in a row, then we wouldn't really have much to brag about. But it's the fact that we can say, yes, we're down now (nobody will argue that we aren't), but even when we're down, we still aren't posting losing records. Continuing to play 6-6 regular seasons is unacceptable, but to be able to say we've not had a losing record in 20 years is an accomplishment worth respecting.
There were some really, really stupid play calls in that game. I really think Lefty was so intimidated by what they defense looked like on paper that he overthought himself.
And if sounds affect them so much, why don't they rush to a walker tripping over something?
Actually, I think in season three maybe, they had a conversation on screen about this being how herds get started. One walker sees or hears something and starts walking, and just the sound of that one walker moving draws other walkers to follow it, until you have hundreds of walkers moving toward a long forgotten stimulus.
Is this the season Lady Gaga is a central character?
I disagree that we needed to protect that timeout. We were throwing to the sidelines anyway, no reason we couldn't continue that. We've repped Sonic enough to be able to hurry to the line if need be. Have Slye ready to run on at a moment's notice and we'd be fine.
Now, I do agree with you that the call made by the coaching staff was that we needed to protect the timeout. And that strategy failed spectacularly.
Not saying Loeffler is perfect. He made some bad decisions in this game. But this was not one of them.
Just in regards to the second part of your post, Nicholas shooting himself in the head doesn't necessarily mean he doesn't have a pulse. You can linger for hours after a shot to the head, and some attempted suicides just wind up in a persistent vegetative state. Also keep in mind, factoring out dramatic slo-mo, this was probably five seconds from gunshot to ground. Nicolas could be in cardiac arrest, which the walkers might mistake for a pulse. Either way, Nicolas is about as fresh as a corpse can be.
Actually, I would have loved to see one of our OL just fucking clock that D lineman blindside. Dirty? Yup. And exactly what we need to get some spit and vinegar back into our team.
But let's be honest, the lack of fire is a symptom, not a disease. It all flows from the top, and the top is tired.
I saw that as the immediate practical application of Rick's "if we go back now, it's for us" speech just seconds prior.
THIS.
The OC's job is to call the offense. When one play is over, it's his job to go straight to the next. Clock management falls squarely on the shoulders of the head coach. Scot assumed clock stoppage with a player out of bounds. It's Frank's responsibility to see the clock is rolling, call timeout IMMEDIATELY, get on the headset and communicate the issue upstairs.
This one is all Frank.
Bud has said a few times he has no interest in teaching a two-gap defense. It is what it is. This is what a system looks like when you don't have players to play the system.
It's always been walker guts when they've done that before. We'll see.
Excellent point about Rick cleaning up Morgan's mess.
The Rick thing is pretty obvious. He's going to get out of the RV and lead them away on foot. So long as he remembers the radio, he'll inform Abraham, Sasha and Daryl of the situation, and Daryl being Daryl, he'll come pick him up. Rick's scenario is more manufactured drama, so long as he really is at the head of the herd.
If I understand this correctly, though, if Beamer's successor is willing to retain Foster, and Foster declines, we owe him nothing, correct?
As well you should. But the whole thing makes sense.
Morgan has no place in a community, and deep down he knows it. He originally declined the invitation from Daryl and Aaron to come back to Alexandria with them. The only reason he accepted was because he realized Rick was there. His pacifism served him fine while he was a loner, but can't stand up when he's in a position to have to defend something of value against outside aggressors. Based on the reaction he had when he saw the Wolf take the gun as they fled Alexandria, and his reaction after his fight with the Wolf that ambushed him, I think he's realizing it. That's Morgan's arc this season, and I think after next weeks backstory episode, we'll either see Morgan accept that if he stays in Alexandria, he cannot give people the option of escape, or we'll see him accept he has no place in Alexandria and leave. They've made too much out of Rick and Morgan being each other's spirit animals to just have Morgan walk off into the post-apocalyptic sunset, so I think you'll see Morgan come around to understanding that mercy is too great a risk sometimes.
I seriously don't think Glenn is dead...yet.
That was Nicolas getting disemboweled, lying atop Glenn. They made a point of having Nicolas wear a similarly colored jacket to the shirt Glenn was wearing and framed the shot to be misleading.
The question is, if they're seriously going to pull this, how are they going to get Glenn out of that situation without some shark-jumping bullshit? Or this could also just be the setup for a sense of false hope, and Glenn will ultimately die for real the next time we see him.
We know we're going to see Glenn (or "parts of" Glenn) at some point, per Scott Gimple's statement on Talking Dead. This is just a cliffhanger to build tension, and we'll get resolution at some point. But if that resolution is anything other than Glenn's unambiguous death, I think this is cheap, soap opera style writing.
That...was kind of my point.
