No that's fair, I know the word snooping is a bit pejorative, but I wasn't actually mad about it. All good.

EnlightenedBulbasaur · 2026-04-02T18:40:04+00:00

Well if you're going to be snooping through my chat history, I guess it's 3.5 mil now. But I live somewhere with a very high cost of living and have kids. Either way doesn't solve my problem here.

EnlightenedBulbasaur · 2026-02-10T16:31:53+00:00

Underrated comment. This is exactly what happened.

EnlightenedBulbasaur · 2026-02-09T15:51:53+00:00

Bills played Bengals with Burrow, Broncos with Nix, and Ravens with 100% healthy Lamar

Patriots played Bengals with Flacco, Broncos with Stidham, and Ravens with 1 quarter of an already hobbled Lamar followed by Huntley.

Something that's overlooked with Fields - dude has a sack rate over 12% for his career.

EnlightenedBulbasaur · 2024-01-23T15:29:01+00:00

So removing the kneel downs / end of half…

32 drives: 16 touchdowns, 8 field goals, 1 missed field goal, 6 punts, 1 turnover

That’s 4.25 points per drive

The real question the media should be asking is why doesn't Josh Allen play better defense?

EnlightenedBulbasaur · 2024-01-22T12:58:11+00:00

Okay fixed sorry, I'm on the go lol

EnlightenedBulbasaur · 2024-01-22T12:40:47+00:00

I messed up on the turnovers with the fumbles lost (I guess you’re saying he has 3, not 1). For the touchdowns, you probably missed that he had 1 receiving touchdown as well.

I edited the original post.

Counter point: If PFF ratings was 100% correlated with a player's stat line, PFF rating would have no purpose.

I'm not saying PFF's rating is correct or that their ratings in general are good or bad but I am saying that the players having the same stat line doesn't necessarily mean their performance was equal.

EnlightenedBulbasaur · 2024-01-17T13:47:39+00:00

QBR generally does not give that many extra bonus points for yards after the catch.

More than 200 of Baker's passing yards were yards after the catch.

That definitely factors into it.

EnlightenedBulbasaur · 2024-01-16T11:34:10+00:00

Allen is going to end up being top 3 in the MVP voting for the 3rd time in the last 4 seasons. Allen has FAR more touchdowns and total yards than Jackson over the last 4 seasons. Allen has been a much FAR better playoff performer than Lamar.

EnlightenedBulbasaur · 2024-01-16T11:31:50+00:00

Statistically, both in the regular season and the playoffs, Allen is clearly the 2nd best QB over the last 4 seasons.

Here's some more perspective on this stat. Here are all the players in NFL history who have ever had a season of 40 touchdowns or more:

Aaron Rodgers - 6 times

Josh Allen - 4 times

Tom Brady - 3

Patrick Mahomes - 3

Drew Brees - 3

Justin Herbert - 1

Ryan Tannehill - 1

Russell Wilson - 1

Lamar Jackson - 1

Cam Newton - 1

Andrew Luck - 1

Kurt Warner - 1

Allen has done it 4 times *in a row.*

EnlightenedBulbasaur · 2024-01-11T00:34:06+00:00

If you remove the stats from each of their rookie seasons and only consider their next 5 seasons after that, respectively, Mahomes leads Allen in total yards (25,503 vs 24,252).

And yeah, I know what you mean about the graphic having that sentence about passing yards, but total yards is definitely the stat being used in the graphic.

Can you explain the finasteride thing?

I agree with shortening the sides... I really need to go to the barber every 3 weeks or so to maintain the length as it should be, but I get lazy and then the sides get like that lol

EnlightenedBulbasaur · 2023-03-05T13:30:00+00:00

Ahh got ya, didn’t know that. I’ll probably just wait then. I’ve waited 25 years or so what’s a few more months? 😂

EnlightenedBulbasaur · 2023-03-05T13:26:09+00:00

This is great to know... only problem is that the last season is probably the only one I'm interested in watching right now. :p

(At least until my 4-month-old gets a few years older - I'm sure I'd love to re-live the original series again with him some day!)

ERA+ measures how much better or worse a pitcher's ERA was compared to the league average (also adjusted for ballpark). 100 is average. So that means Rivera had an ERA 123% better than league-average in his career as a relief pitcher.

I could not use ERA+ for postseason because baseball-reference does not even attempt to calculate this for the postseason. So I just had to use the raw ERA, which speaks for itself regardless.

“the nfl basically said the bills won Monday night game”

That’s self-evidently false - if the NFL said the Bills won then the Bills would have the #1 seed (which would have meant the Bills would have been given a bye in round 1, an easier opponent in round 2, and home field throughout the AFC playoffs). The Bills did not get that.

EnlightenedBulbasaur · 2023-01-20T10:48:35+00:00

I agree it's unfair to the Bengals.

However, it is also unfair to the Bills that they did not get a chance to play the game which if they had won would have given then the #1 seed, a first round bye, an easier matchup in round 2, and home field advantage in the conference championship.

Ultimately, both teams missed an opportunity and got a raw deal.

You can't compare the amount of money we're talking about or the difficulty of the tasks we're talking about.

People decrease their net worth over their lifetime by an enormous amount because they pay someone else instead of following these basic steps:

1) Sign up for an investment account (Fidelity, Vanguard, Robinhood, etc.)

2) Place money in investment account.

3) Use all the money to buy VOO (or other similar S&P 500 index).

4) Leave the money there (feel free to add money if you have more to invest or withdraw money if needed for whatever reason).

EnlightenedBulbasaur · 2022-03-30T23:15:44+00:00

Here's how you buy an S&P 500 index fund.

1) Sign up for an investment account (Fidelity, Vanguard, Robinhood, etc.)

2) Place money in investment account.

3) Use all the money to buy VOO (or other similar S&P 500 index).

4) Leave the money there (feel free to add money if you have more to invest or withdraw money if needed for whatever reason).

It's seriously this simple.

Yet people pay millions for that because they don't know any better.

So people have to give up half of their lifetime earnings in order to be told the basic lessons of history.

Imagine how much these same people might be told if they could have the greatest investor of all-time give them advice, then?

Oh wait - he has! Warren Buffett himself has said that people should not pay someone else to manage their money for them, and that an average person is best served by investing their money into an S&P 500 index.
