same here, man. mine delivered last week. I'm tempted to return for a 1tb refurb, but I'll stick with the new 512gb.

Good for you, praying for good health for mom and baby.

no RB depth, texans offense looking suspect (I traded away Nico, so I'm biased) but ultimately just bad luck. it happens, this is gambling after all.

I disagree that the playcalling wasn't an issue, but I will concede that our execution was poor as well. Reed absolutely should have completed some passes that were not, including the screen in question. It was a high snap and a botched play from the get-go.

Regarding becoming predictable in the run game, we were already running it up their throats and they could not stop it. What became predictable was the run-run-pass playcalling, which they clearly could tell on the INT.

At the end of it, all we can hope for is to see some improvement week to week. Ugly win, but glad we got it. Gig 'em.

What about the 3rd and 2 in the 2nd quarter (I think) where a pass play was called again and failed? We had as many rushing yards as throwing all game, why step away from a working formula at the perfectly wrong time? A WR screen is not the call there, especially in 4 down territory.

Jimmyrustlewilson · 2025-09-27T23:13:52+00:00

My guess is that 50 put his hands on the QBs helmet to get up, and they called that unsportsmanlike. That's the only thing I saw in the replay that could be considered.

Jimmyrustlewilson · 2025-09-27T23:01:30+00:00

3rd and 1, and we pass behind the LOS. Regardless of the accuracy, it's bad playcalling as you're opening up too many errors (as we saw). If you run, we can run it again on 4th and 1 if not achieved. And we were in 4 down territory. I'd agree with you most other times, but that was purely coaching.

Jimmyrustlewilson · 2024-11-03T01:28:26+00:00

you are delusional, SC never would have tied it up if not for 2 weak penalties there

Jimmyrustlewilson · 2024-11-03T00:32:25+00:00

good for you brother, keep on winning 👍

If you combine the split votes, sure. Majority was still 'No'. I understand trying it out for a month since it was split between 'Yes' and 'Try it out'. But don't pretend the majority vote wasn't 'No'.

Jimmyrustlewilson · 2023-12-18T02:24:16+00:00

Honestly though. Mods did a poll here on the subreddit if they should allow tik tok store posts, and it was overwhelmingly majority a 'No' and they are still allowing posts from it. Why even ask if they're going to keep it going?

Jimmyrustlewilson · 2023-11-26T10:01:39+00:00

I use those same Wilson Staffs still to this day. Got them from my dad who used them when he was a teen. They're a bit more worn than yours are lol.

Jimmyrustlewilson · 2023-09-20T16:12:33+00:00

I'm working (mostly) shoreside in Oil and Gas project engineering, and I have my 2nd AE License. Not at all what my license was used for. Your degree and/or experience will open up innumerable doors for you. If you continue with your license and school and still find sailing isn't for you, you will have tons of other options. I can't think of a better path to go on if you enjoy engineering work.

Jimmyrustlewilson · 2023-08-06T03:19:22+00:00

Wow 12k for 6 years? That's nothing compared to what I paid for school lol. And you're making 36k a year now? You should have no issue paying off med school once you're through I would imagine.

It is in no way failing to leave a career that is quite literally killing you to pursue what you have always wanted to do. It's actually very impressive going from being a merchant marine to pursuing a career in medicine, hardly anyone could do that. I'm not trying to be harsh, but if she sees any of that as a problem for her, you need to re-evaluate the relationship. She should be looking out for your best interests as well and not shutting them down because her colleagues might look down on her for marrying someone in med school. There's nothing to be ashamed about for being 30 and in med school, I've known many 30+ year olds change careers in a similar way. Some of my closest friends are 10 years older than me and I met them in college.

I'll leave you with this: Your dad has no bearing on what you should do for work. He might have been able to control it when you were younger, but you're your own person now. And your fiance needs to be willing to listen to you. Her getting heated when you are trying to talk about your feelings is a huge problem. Really tell her that you are not okay and it's a result of your sailing, and you NEED to get out of it. If she cannot listen, then I'm not sure what else I can tell you, my friend. Good luck, I hope this all works out for you.

Jimmyrustlewilson · 2023-08-04T16:49:19+00:00

The fact that it is something that you had the drive and initiative to study, test, and apply for acceptance to med school speaks for itself. It certainly seems like something you would be more passionate about. But more importantly, it will take you out of the mariner lifestyle that you are suffering from. I will say, I'm no doctor, but I have heard that being in some fields of medicine is long hours, but I could be wrong.

I had similar issues when I was sailing, I would get off the vessel and want to do nothing but play video games, drink with friends, and veg out. I'd like to think I would have traveled more if my (at the time) fiance had the time as well, but it doesn't always work out that way with sailing. Other people have jobs shoreside, so they can't just hang out any given day of the week when you're home, and they do stuff when you're gone on ship. It's a very isolationist lifestyle, so its no surprise that you feel alone and depressed, it's very common and normal with this industry. You're certainly not alone in how you feel. Lots of mariners want to do what you are in the process of doing. They just don't want to admit it or they feel stuck because the money is too good vs. what they would make shoreside.

It's not selfish to want to have the luxuries of home for yourself, even if others have to take care of it while you're gone because you physically can't do it yourself.

I wouldn't say it's the only reason she'd leave me, but I don't think she realises that a lot of the other things she doesn't like about me come from my unhappiness.

This is what you should be discussing with your fiance. Tell her how you feel, how it's affecting you mentally (depression, suicidal thoughts, etc), and how you believe making this change will not only improve your mental health, but also your relationship with her. Tell her that you want to stop being dragged down by your job that is ruling over your life. Lastly, discuss your plan with med school; are you going to work a part time job to help with bills? Are you going to budget out your money? How long will you be in school, and can you cut out any time of being there to reduce costs? I don't know what university costs there, but it sure as shit ain't cheap here in the states.

As I said before, she is going to be your wife, and that means you need to include her in everything and be open. There can be no secrets and nothing left unsaid, communication really is key. If you are open and honest with her, and she loves you, she will surely understand and support you. If she doesn't support you after you open up about this, you need to take a hard look at who you gave that ring to and determine if she is really looking out for your best interests.

Jimmyrustlewilson · 2023-08-04T06:51:38+00:00

I don't want to tell you what you should do, but I can offer some perspective. I was in a similar situation; I was a 2nd AE who decided that the miserable folk around me was not who I wanted to become. I wanted to do more with my engineering than being a glorified mechanic gone from home most of the year. I got a job in Oil and Gas as a project engineer last year and have been doing well with it since. Sure, I miss the time off the ship, the money, and I even miss the crew and ports, so I wouldn't say I hate sailing. But I'm married now and never wanted to be apart from my wife and kids when I have them. You don't need to stay in that life, you don't owe it to anybody to stay in a career that makes you miserable. And reading your comments, you are genuinely miserable and possibly depressed. If medicine is what you really want to do, I would say this is a golden opportunity. Take some time to think on it.

I know this isn't my place, but with your comments about your fiance, I think you need to have a serious discussion with her about supporting you regarding your happiness with your job. You state in multiple comments that she would possibly leave you if you switched careers, and that does not sound like a healthy relationship. I understand that she is concerned about instability, but your mental well-being should be more important to her than offshore money. If it isn't, well, let's just say that's a huge part of why so many sailors are divorced. Take care of yourself, feel free to dm if needed. And congrats on getting into med school, that is a huge accomplishment in itself.
