I came in with super low expectations and I actually really liked it.

Fuck Yes Joe Biden!

I haven’t looked so I could be dead wrong but I assume since only the top seed gets a bye that the Packers will have something to play for up until the end.

Why FG there?

I expect the Lions get back to normal and lose a game in the 4th quarter that they should’ve won. Refs will probably play a role in it as well.

I think that used to be true but that’s changed with all the advances in tech. Everyone has a tablet loaded with specialized video software developed for football. They all watch endless tape on teams they play and in doing so they see all the other teams they’ve played. I just saw something on Hard Knocks Indy (which is the best of the series btw) where Darius Leonard watched every run play the Pats ran all season to prep for them. He ended up watching 14 games worth of film just for one game.

Sigh. You really are a gem. Merry Christmas Bombers!

Merry Christmas to you to Archie. Sorry to hear about your friend and co-workers.

Fans make up for only 1/3 of the vote. Players and coaches make up the other 2/3. I know you are stubborn but wouldnt it just be easier to say hats off to Nino. He proved me wrong and giving him away for a 7th was one of the worst deals of the Quintricia era. We can call it a Christmas miracle that you admitted you were weren’t right on something.

Right. Which makes it completely subjective. I can’t imagine how many self-trained amateur scouts they must use to go through every play for every player in the league. They can try to get some commonality among them but it’s impossible. They also are assuming what the intended play call and assignment is for each player. Every play they make the decision on if a player did their job when they dont really know the exact assignment. How does that work. Another factor is they cant effectively account for who the individual opponent is on a play. An example of a guy like Amani 24 covering Justin Jefferson is much different than an AJ Parker on the other side covering KJ Osborn. Yet at the end of the game they line their pff numbers up together and rank them against their teammates as if everything was equal. It’s not and it really can’t be quantified in that system. I don’t think pff numbers are compete trash. I think they have some value but they can’t sit on their own as a way to measure how good someone is a player.

Careful putting too much weight into pff rankings. They are sus. Do you have any idea what type of formulas they use and how they even come up with their rankings?

Don’t forget about your boys Diggs and Slay. Looks like Q with the back to back pro bowls wasn’t as washed as you thought when we traded him. Can’t go back and look on Slay but I’ll give you the benefit that it was mainly the money he wanted and not his skills you were dogging when they traded him.

That is still a better alternative than not getting a chance to play and being forced to forfeit. The first choice should be to postpone a week. Awarding a title or even a spot in the final via cancellation is a nuclear option and should be off the table.

I’m shocked. I wonder if their TV partners and corporate sponsors as still going to pay the committee tens of millions of dollars if they don’t play these games. I’m guessing these folks have a very different view of the lengths they should go to try and play.

Actually, Jared is a lot better than that.

Aaron Rodgers public opinions are a lot like Jared Goff’s quarterbacking.

It would take something monumental for the powers that be in college football to postpone this game. There is some behind the scenes drama going on. He was the starter and was injured and rumor is that the family and coaching staff had a different view on when he was ready to play. Word is that Kirby chose to just wash his hands of the situation and go with Stetson Bennett.

I agree with this. Ive always been a fan of the guy. He’s got an infectious personality that people gravitate towards. My questions were about his football acumen as a head coach. He’s done some really nice things the past few weeks both in game plan and even more surprising as an offensive play caller. He’s definitely learning and improving and has me rethinking my thoughts about what he could become as a head coach.

Not a chance. He’s done a decent job with what he has but I can’t imagine anyone hiring the defensive coordinator from a 2-11-1 team. I’’ll be shocked if he even gets an interview anywhere but that is at least possible.

This is officially a Ford Field winning streak.

They met at a Lynrd Skynrd concert

Who knows. You have to have a screw loose to actually go to this game in the first place.. apologies MichiganCardinal.

This is a classic Lions game. It would be better for their long term interests to lose which is why they will pull off a shocking win. Even in victory they find a way to fuck themselves a little. Lions ML +575
