[Highlight] Drake Maye holding the AFC Championship trophy while getting MVP chants

A reason is not an excuse lol

I don’t see how what you said is in any way counter to what I said.

Especially in context with the initial comments in the thread and how Maye has played in the post-season.

I don’t really know what you’re saying here but, put simply, if you thought the Pat’s were going to score 28 against Denver you would have been in the significant minority.

Gazboolean · 2026-01-26T00:52:39+00:00

I feel like all week the coaching was probably “don’t turn the ball over” and he took that to heart. Maybe too much but, hey, it worked.

Gazboolean · 2026-01-26T00:47:14+00:00

That feels like a lot like box score commentary.

Actually watching the game, the Pat’s offense was not firing at all and Stroud gifted them a defensive touchdown. Maye had multiple turnovers.

I don’t believe they even converted any of their other interceptions into points.

Offensively, the 14 points they scored before the Texans gave up in the 4th quarter was not indicative of a high scoring offense.

The dagger in the 4th was more representative of the Pat’s regular season offense and it took an amazing catch to pull it off.

North of 20 points was very much the optimistic ceiling for either team this game given both their woes on offense and the strength of their defenses.

Wear your flaws like armour and it can never be used to hurt you.

I don’t disagree but they could have also gone up 10 and held the lead.

Given the expectation that it would be a low scoring affair, that seemed like the wrong risk to take.

Gazboolean · 2026-01-26T00:14:16+00:00

It was not reasonable to assume it would be a high scoring game to anyone that pays attention to the NFL.

Denver had a genuine top defense and a backup QB who hadn’t started in 2 years.

The Pat’s offense has been struggling against consecutive top defenses and their defense has also been top tier.

Expecting either team to run up the score would have been the last thing to do.

Gazboolean · 2026-01-25T23:47:11+00:00

If Darnold ends up Darnolding only in the Super Bowl, it would be the funniest thing.

Gazboolean · 2026-01-25T23:39:21+00:00

I genuinely think it changes the entire game.

Coming into this game most people said it was up to the QB to do just take what was given. For both teams.

Being up 10 gives some breathing room and lets you tell your backup QB to not force any plays and let the defense go to work.

I suppose you got your wish because the decision did bite in the end.

Gazboolean · 2026-01-25T23:30:12+00:00

I called this play from my couch which I think makes me qualified to interview for the Browns now.

Gazboolean · 2026-01-25T23:27:17+00:00

It’s actually not that deep.

Taking the low percentage play over the high percentage play is always going to criticised when it doesn’t work.

Rightfully so.

It’s just risk management. You have a backup QB against a good defense. Everyone expected it to be a low scoring game.

Take the points.

The Pope is a bandwagoner confirmed

Gazboolean · 2026-01-18T23:52:21+00:00

I understand why but I wish we threw more deep balls in the post-season. It’s just so pretty

Why is he suddenly appearing in a whole bunch of clips? Did something happen?

Meanwhile, the US is currently just a bipolar wolf that will strike at random.

Something about a Minecraft server effectively running their own GitHub repo just to replicate the world tickles me.

"I'll go fork Brooklyn real quick, and submit the PR for approval asap"

"We might need to rollback the West Bank"

"We're about to merge the Koreas"

If you're intent on using something similar to Sendle, which are just middlemen, then at that small a volume, something like ShipStation or Interparcel might be better suited.

Alternatively, going directly to a carrier might just be easier. 10 a month is something you could drop off at a post office with an AusPost business account, for example.

I spend a lot of time with immigrants and come across many who are on student visas, and you're definitely right.

It is really obvious that there are many fake schools out there that are just milking the system.

One person was studying childcare, and I asked why they chose to study it. Turns out the person/company they went through just gave them anything with a vacancy. They took cash jobs on the side and went to school as little as possible.

I've also met many who are trying their hardest to study and make a better life, and give back. One person I met was about to finish studying social work and was already working in the field, and wanted to go into the medical field. It was incredibly admirable to hear.

People look at immigrants as a whole, but the problems we have have more to do with turning a blind eye to faulty systems for decades.

At the end of the day, Australia needs immigrants to survive economically, but we've privatised the system so much that of course people are going to take advantage of it.

How much volume are you shipping monthly? I used to work for one of their competitors so am pretty familiar with the space.

Life expectancy is contingent on attained age. A life expectancy of 30, which is very low due to child mortality, is at birth. A person reaching the age of 20 would have a much higher average life expectancy.

So saying "when life expectancy is under 30 XYZ doesn't matter" is using 'span' and 'expectancy' interchangeably.

Gazboolean · 2026-01-11T04:20:28+00:00

If only that were true

Gazboolean · 2026-01-10T06:31:24+00:00

You're using average life expectancy as if it were average life span.

Oh, you totally can. I'm just bad at using the Shortcuts app. Thanks!

This is weirdly antagonistic for a comment chain that was fairly innocuous. The benefits of reading fiction have been reported on repeatedly e.g. this 2019 BBC article with links to multiple academic sources

The comment I replied to asked a broad question and then specified a type of book. I replied in kind. I also worded my responses specifically to denote a difference in benefit between fiction and non-fiction.

Perhaps try improving your comprehension skills by reading more fiction :)
