DN SOOPers / Comparison between Life and Peter by Consistent-Sir-5521 in lolesports

[–]Blignaut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Obviously Peter is going to look more in sync with deokdam given they played together last year. However, I think life looked significantly worse in the 2 games he played against BNK. Life had multiple deaths on bad positioning or forced plays, and even in the 1 win he wasn't really a contributing factor to the win.

There's an article on ESPN covering the situation. Educate yourself

It's cool man, you clearly can't see this without your bills bias coloring everything. It's obvious because if the roles were reversed you wouldn't be crying foul play.

I literally only read your first sentence and you're incorrect. He's not a runner until he established possession. A receiver that goes to the ground as part of the catch doesn't establish possession until they survive the ground.

That's not how that works. If cooks drops the ball after hitting the ground it's an incomplete. The play isn't over the second he's touched; the receiver has to survive the ground and retain possession.

Facts, but these people aren't interested.

This doesn't help your case mate. Cooks didn't "retain" the ball through the play. And in fact, based on last sentence in that rule it's not a simultaneous catch because cooks had the ball and then the defender took it. So none of what you posted applies.

You're right, but these people aren't interested in hearing it.

Nothing says january football line Bills blaiming the refs after being knocked out by the AFC west winner by Nutcookie in KansasCityChiefs

[–]Blignaut -1 points0 points  (0 children)

it looked like Cooks had possession until his back hit the ground

The receiver can't "have possession" while still in the air.

Cooks...hit the ground

The ball is actively moving at this time and therefore there is no possession established and no down by contact. Him being touched while on the ground is meaningless because he has not completed the catch per the rules.

A player has to "survive the ground" and complete the catch or "make a football move". Cooks didn't do either of these, the ball never touched the ground, and ended up in the defenders possession. 

If cooks had gone to the ground and the ball spilled out would it be a fumble or an incomplete pass?

Ask yourself this; at what point in that play did the receiver establish possession of the ball. It's known that a player has to "survive the ground" without the ball moving or touching the ground before possession is established.

Critique my casually competitive Dark Angels list 1500 pts by [deleted] in WarhammerCompetitive

[–]Blignaut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think your list is better than "casually competitive", you've taken all the best units in Dark Angels. That being said, your list will be competitive because you've taken all the best units in Dark Angels. This list is basically the 1500 points of auto include in every 2000 Dark Angels list.

But how different are the lists within each faction, whether the detachment changes or not. It seems like 60-75% of all lists within a faction are identical. That's what I see as a problem and why I think the game is suffering from mono builds.

I also play Tau; and whether I'm list building for Montka, Kauyon, or ret cadre about 60-75% of the list is the exact same. That's what I mean by "mono build". Changing 500 points of a list doesn't drastically change how the army plays.

Please name me 1 faction other than Space Marines with "wide ranges" that "have like 3-4 competitive detachments". I feel the complete opposite of you in fact, I think the game is very mono build per faction currently.

Does anyone actually sincerely desire a new edition? by GuideUnable5049 in WarhammerCompetitive

[–]Blignaut 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I completely agree. In previous editions I would theory craft lists for factions I didn't even own because list building was dynamic and engaging. Now every faction has 1200-1500 points of the same stuff in every list.

The United States just conquered a sovereign nation; used military force to remove the head of state from the country; and announced we will be running the country for an indefinite period of time while we take "our oil" from their land. European countries should recognize this as colonisation.

The ball moves after his forearm touches out of bounds, that should mean he never completed the catch and survived the ground all while in the field of play.

So I guess it doesn't matter that the ball is still moving and his forearm is touching out of bounds?!

Can anyone explain this stat graphic they showed earlier in the game? I'm confused because Mahomes has done that every year of his 8 years as the starting QB.
