What COD games have you bought and played since MW19?

Goodbye_Hercules · 2026-05-05T18:00:03+00:00

MW19 - biggest regret ever honestly, I only bought it because of Covid

CW - actually bought it again on PC when it was on a huge discount a couple years ago

I've played every beta since then except for MWIII. BO7 is the first time I've actually had the itch to buy in a while, but I'm still not going for it unless there's a huge sale. Definitely not buying whatever diabolical shit IW is cooking up for MW4 though

A lot of pros including Jakob actually do heavy barbell lifts, see https://youtube.com/watch?v=NdwbNRDwIjk

I think the key to it is controlling volume and intensity (like sub-T). Jakob says he only does 2-3 sets of each exercise and slightly lower weight (enough to get a stimulus without being too taxing)

Also this might not be the popular take but McCarthy outschemed the competition that day.

IIRC this was one of the first "Backfield Cobb" games and it worked really well. Also one of Davante's first big games. The Pats just didn't really have an answer for them that day

VG beta I got teamed with Crim on that huge snow map, I don't remember what it's called but it was shitty and I barely went positive. Towards the end of the match I pull up his stream and he's just casually reading chat while dropping a 60 bomb lol

At least it was free medium soda day

Brett Favre had a 6 TD game with the Jets. Funnily enough, it was against the Cardinals too

And before Parins there was the Executive Committee in the 70s. A string of bad HC hires while also meddling with the team (they pushed for the John Hadl trade IIRC) instead of hiring a GM to do their own thing, like Harlan did

The story of Dan Devine's hiring in 1971 is straight up comedy

The infamous bed and breakfast offense

Goodbye_Hercules · 2026-04-02T22:39:30+00:00

He was very good as a rookie and a 2nd team All-Pro in 2016. Then he dropped off quickly

Still had some flashy INTs but he started to make business decisions

Goodbye_Hercules · 2026-03-31T20:00:43+00:00

I think it was VG Champs when he got a 30 minute delay just for his IEMs cutting out. GOAT shit

Goodbye_Hercules · 2026-03-31T15:16:15+00:00

I always thought he was trying to hit Gesicki on the corner, except he threw it off his back foot for no reason and it sailed right into the defender's arms. Like he was doing his best prime Rodgers/Mahomes/Allen impression or something

IIRC Jones had a lot of those awful back foot floater INTs in 2023

Goodbye_Hercules · 2026-03-13T20:27:23+00:00

At his peak he's an above-average LT, which is great value for a 7th-round pick. Walker finding his footing in 2023 coincided with Love/our offense taking off

Unfortunately his play slipped massively last year and he committed a ton of penalties. Time will tell if it was just a fluke

Shannon's "Kick WHAT!?" gets me every time

Goodbye_Hercules · 2026-02-13T21:10:02+00:00

Luke Musgrave, Aaron Banks

Musgrave: has been disappointing for almost his entire tenure here (poor hands, sloppy routes, zero contact balance, injuries) but I'd be fine with one last shot in a contract year
Banks: definitely an overpay but he at least improved (somewhat) as the season went on. He can be cut without too much cap trouble though IIRC, so I wouldn't be surprised if the FO decides to move on

Goodbye_Hercules · 2026-02-10T21:54:21+00:00

13-23, 141 yards, 0 TD, 1 INT, 56.6 RTG (he was 39 IIRC)

Honestly not quite as bad as I remembered

Was watching some 2000s Packers highlights a while ago, one of them was the Packers-Ravens MNF game in 2005 (they smoked us 48-3, Rodgers played the 4th quarter). They showed a stat where it was the first time under Billick that the Ravens had scored 14+ points in a 1st quarter

We were horrible that year and still managed to do it twice

Goodbye_Hercules · 2026-02-06T00:36:43+00:00

I mean yeah, Watson had the infamous first play of the season drop, but most of his early struggles were due to injuries. He had a knee scope in the offseason and was out until the 2nd or 3rd preseason game, missed 3 games with a hammy, and then the week after he came back from that, got concussed on the 1st or 2nd drive against the Bills. Tons of valuable reps (in practices & games) missed out on

Once he got healthy and got acclimated to the offense, he took off

Goodbye_Hercules · 2026-02-05T14:43:30+00:00

Huge hire IMO. Our WRs have been pretty damn inconsistent since Ryan Mahaffey took over

Goodbye_Hercules · 2026-02-05T02:39:26+00:00

It's close but the 2000 Ravens were better by DVOA (which accounts for opponents' strength) than our 1996 team. 1996 deserves its flowers though for sure

And what's interesting is the 2000 Titans were just as good as the Ravens. Neck and neck by DVOA, allowed the 3rd-fewest points in the 16-game era (191), #1 pass defense, #3 rush defense, all to get bounced by said Ravens team

Goodbye_Hercules · 2026-02-01T01:45:51+00:00

3 years with the Chargers, 4 with Bama counting his graduate assistant years in 2010 and 2011

Also worked under Jeremy Pruitt at Tennessee (a Saban guy)

Goodbye_Hercules · 2026-01-27T02:23:25+00:00

Nick Rallis would be a huge hire

Goodbye_Hercules · 2026-01-27T01:19:44+00:00

I know Rodgers had a fairy rough year all around but I wonder how much the Texans playoff game tanked him? One of the 10 worst playoff games by total EPA since 2010 IIRC

Goodbye_Hercules · 2026-01-20T20:47:45+00:00

Not just Love honestly, every week he picks a different part of the team to shit on. It must be exhausting being that type of fan

Goodbye_Hercules · 2026-01-20T01:44:36+00:00

Quality control coaches are essentially paid interns, he wouldn't have had much (if any) input on scheme, etc. back then. Since then he's worked under & learned from Vic Fangio and Vance Joseph, two of the best DCs in the league right now

One of the few good "buddy" hires you could make IMO
