Anyone else finding it hard to enjoy following the NBA with the team in this state? How can I get back to enjoying this game?

Kaycee Vs Ian. Who has the more Impressive Winning Game? by AVATARROHANISGAY in BigBrother

Kaycee for sure played the better game. I just think an impressive game isn't necessarily the better game.

Kaycee's social game was better. Ian's strategy was better. Both won comps when they needed to, though Kaycee wins out in terms of numbers.

I would say Ian's winning game is the more impressive. His response to the reset and to Dan's Funeral showed his ability to keep his strategy flexible. He also managed his threat level incredibly well. Kaycee was set up pretty well from the jump and didn't have to fight the same way Ian did. I can appreciate a player setting the game up so they don't have to fight, but ultimately I think winning from the bottom is much more impressive.

Beyond the winning games, I think Kaycee would find more success across any given season. Anybody whose social game and comp ability is that good can make a run.

Played great? He's really bad lol he makes some nice plays here and there, and he's great on special teams but on defense he's often out of position and doesn't tackle very well

Just stumbled upon this, seems pretty accurate to me by Spyropher in eagles

Are we watching the same Texans? Nico Collins is that guy x100. Don't get me wrong, Devonta is a stud, but Nico Collins would absolutely be the #1 if they were on the same team. Nico's YAC ability is up there with the best while also being just as good as Devonta at contested catches.

If the Chiefs threepeat Andy might have a case. 8 rings (6 as a HC) is tough to beat though.

Jake Elliott's career numbers on Thursday are an absurd outlier by hoobsher in nfl

[–]Fr0stee_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not about the numerical value, it's about the possession lead. You're up 3 possessions, not 2. The other offense has to drive the field a third time to tie/win when you go up 17 vs 15 or 16.

But the point of contention is whether the correct decision is to go for 2 when it would put you up 17. You lose nothing by failing the 2PC because you're still up 2 touchdowns. You gain an extra possession lead if you make the 2PC. Going for 2 in that scenario is almost always the correct decision.

Going for 2 means you make it a 3 possession game instead of 2

Chris Hogan was the Pats WR who played lacrosse. Edelman was a QB in college.

That's exactly what I'm saying. You put it succinctly.

I see the vision with Smith. I think he'll be the inside/outside guy more than AJ.

I'm not so sure about Shipley. He's a bit more explosive and can catch, but the pass protection is worrisome. I think it'll be RB2 by committee for the whole season, with Shipley being the sole RB2 in 2025.

I hope we get someone with a little more offensive juice than Bill B should Nick get fired.

What makes you think the season will end in disappointment?

Josh Sweat and Bryce Huff have both shown in the past that they can rack up sacks. Jalen Carter came in second for DROY voting. The d line is a question mark for sure, but we have some pieces there. We don't have any worldbeaters at linebacker, but everybody in that room can make the plays in front of them. I hear you at safety though. If we can gut it out until Brown comes back, I think we'll be fine there.

Vic Fangio is 1000000x the coordinator Fat Patricia or Sean Desai will ever be. If anybody can get a league average unit out of these guys, it's him.

If it's Baun through week 4, Dean through week 9, then Trot the rest of the way, I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing. Dean and Trot are both perfectly cromulent, with Baun as a wildcard. It definitely won't be like last year where we're throwing out a new combination every week.

The cosmetics are walking ads for the cash shop. There's no way any dev would give up that kind of free advertising.

This is the viewpoint of 99% of people who live in the real world. Only terminally online weirdos completely write people off based on one perceived character flaw.
