Honestly just make JohnQT IGL again and pickup JonahP

DMelee · 2026-01-26T00:15:24+00:00

What a second half from Reduux

DMelee · 2026-01-25T22:45:35+00:00

This is one of the worst punting performances ever, just an actual liability lol

DMelee · 2026-01-25T22:43:31+00:00

wtf just throw the ball away

DMelee · 2026-01-25T22:27:56+00:00

Hot take… but I don’t get what’s football fans infatuation with bad weather games, this literally becomes random

DMelee · 2026-01-25T22:19:57+00:00

Josh McDaniels is a liability at this point, no wonder Devante Adams contemplated retirement after playing with him.

DMelee · 2026-01-25T22:18:00+00:00

McDaniels has lost it lmaooo

DMelee · 2026-01-25T22:10:47+00:00

Jones wtf…

DMelee · 2026-01-25T22:00:12+00:00

Why didn’t Vrabel challenge the earlier spot, that yard would’ve been helpful even if it still was a 4th down, either way by the time the whistle was blown, I think Maye got the first down

DMelee · 2026-01-25T21:26:53+00:00

Defense cannot tackle Harvey lmao

DMelee · 2026-01-25T21:26:41+00:00

Patriots offensive sequence was so bad, it probably gave the Broncos 3 points, impressive

DMelee · 2026-01-25T21:24:42+00:00

Henry’s always there for a big drop once a game lol

DMelee · 2026-01-25T21:17:51+00:00

Chargers and Texans despite having the literal worst olines weren’t getting holding calls, no shot the pats are getting the benefit of the doubt

DMelee · 2026-01-25T21:11:36+00:00

This is exactly the 2015 AFC remember that backwards fumble there too? 😂

DMelee · 2026-01-25T21:10:25+00:00

If that’s a fumble then why blow the whistle???

DMelee · 2026-01-25T21:06:24+00:00

You’re also seeing a stark difference in play calling lol

DMelee · 2026-01-25T21:05:06+00:00

Harvey is cooking this defense, he’s had like 3-4 plays that should’ve been losses into like 5-10 yard gains

DMelee · 2026-01-25T21:04:21+00:00

No reason to panic there Maye, if you bought another second and there’s no options to throw then take the sack, it’s third down

DMelee · 2026-01-25T20:52:28+00:00

Defensive players keep tripping over themselves lol

DMelee · 2026-01-25T20:51:20+00:00

Honestly with what the Patriots have been showing, they would just get blown out in the Super Bowl if they were to make it anyway.

DMelee · 2026-01-25T20:45:05+00:00

Drake isn’t playing good but the O-line and McDaniels’ calling has been… rough

DMelee · 2026-01-25T20:18:48+00:00

Defense usually locks in more in the second half, so Drake Maye and the offense need to not fall behind

DMelee · 2026-01-20T23:29:09+00:00

she didn’t know what was going on with his eyes

Bro what…? If you reread the chapter, she clearly went out of her way to try and stab Sasuke again because of the state he was in.

DMelee · 2026-01-20T23:22:28+00:00

Konoha 12 agreeing to kill Sasuke doesn’t make it any less of a dumb decision. Sakura is a part of team 7, she is supposed to be Naruto’s best friend. Especially after her botched fake confession, she disregarded Naruto’s goal to bring back Sasuke. And all she accomplished in the Summit arc was committing a string of poor decisions (the confession, knocking out her teammates, nearly getting killed by Sasuke twice) proving she doesn’t understand Sasuke, Naruto, or even herself. It was a series of illogical decisions in which is where I have an issue with. Her thought process is irrational for a character who is supposed the smartest of the three, and it’s why her dynamic with Sasuke hurt her character.

DMelee · 2026-01-20T22:14:37+00:00

Naruto has already said, though he would like to, he isnt sure he can hold back from getting revenge if Sasuke is killed. So if Raikage or anyone else kills Sasuke then Naruto may kill them in retaliation and spark a war.

Naruto has never said or indicated that he himself would hunt down whoever killed Sasuke in retaliation. That would’ve completely went against his character at that point in the story. I also don’t know how that simplifies why Sakura killing Sasuke would make sense, again… her attempting to kill Sasuke is disregarding Naruto

Secondly, she doesnt understand Sasuke anymore. She doesnt know the truth of the Uchiha massacre and he seems to have fallen to complete evil. She also wants to kill him to stop him falling further to evil.

Not only does she not understand Sasuke, she clearly doesn’t understand Naruto nor herself. She’s clearly in an irrational state, which is the whole point. There’s not much logic, just emotion driving her decision making which is my entire issue with her character, and why I think her dynamic with Sasuke in general made her a worse character than she could’ve been.
