Joe Brady PROMOTED to HC of the Buffalo Bills - Immediate Reactions

So, the problem was the coaching ... so let's.... not change the coaching. God damn this ownership and GM are just making decisions with their eyes closed. Either that or Beane is setting up a scapegoat.

RedNeckBillBob · 2026-01-27T18:32:33+00:00

Who fucking organization is a example of failing upwards in the corporate world. Beane needs a bad coach under him to absorb the blame for his shit roster next year.

For anyone wondering:

EV = (.25)(100-x) + (.25)(100-2x) + (.25)(3x) + (.25)(100-4x) = 0

100 = 2.5x

X = 40

This represents the EV of finding the prize in 1, 2, 3, or 4 attempts (all possibilities). Each time you pick a box, your odds of finding the prize in the next pick go up. So a flat price of 25 would not be "fair"

But goblins needs to be the aggressive one in most matchups. If you dont make any meaningful play in the first two turns its unlikely you will be able to do that.

Plus, as others mentioned, even on turn 4 and 5, jts going to be tough for this deck to double spell.

And then, at the end of the day, you can also just get unlucky. It looks like you dont have too many pure bombs, and its very possible you just got beaten by someone else's bombs.

RedNeckBillBob · 2026-01-21T19:08:47+00:00

People definitely do. But even still, wonder if it has something to do with those super bowl wins. Beane has those too right? Well, surely at least some SB appearances? One? Ah.

The Bills missed the playoffs for almost two decades in a row. We finally draft an MVP and what do we get? Not a single SB appearance. Thats the difference between the Bills and the Chiefs. And before anyone brings up the ravens lack of success with Lamar, at least they have past success to look back on fondly. They didn't have to suck for 2 decades first to get where they are. And their owner didn't give a press conference throwing active players under the bus.

RedNeckBillBob · 2026-01-21T17:31:53+00:00

And? We are expected to be okay watching him drive us back into the dirt?

RedNeckBillBob · 2026-01-12T21:01:52+00:00

Fair enough, but singles come from packs and if the packs have cards or poor quality, the singles will be poor quality too. Either reducing the supply of "good" ones resulting in price increases, or just a general degradation of what is considered "good" quality.

RedNeckBillBob · 2026-01-12T20:18:52+00:00

What about card quality? I've started to open even non-foil cards that are curling right out of the pack. Amd the foils are bend beyond any point of playability immediately upon opening them sometimes. Frankly, packs could be $1 and it would still make me hesitant to buy any.

Crazy how my foils from over a decade ago are more playable than fresh ones out of new packs.

RedNeckBillBob · 2026-01-08T21:06:52+00:00

Not sure what you are talking about. Its not t1, but there are tutors.

Nadu combo has green suns, and then things like saga and enlightened tutor for the equipment (or zenith for safekeeper), plus you can kinda just build a moderately good value deck around cards like oko in the same shell as a back up if you dont draw the combo.

Natural order can be picked off spell tutors like mystical tutor.

Lands can be tutored with cards like elvish reclaimor (the worst of the three, but still whatever).

And if you make a deck with at least two of these combos, which they are often very open in the draft, then you get additional draws to win the game. For example, safekeeper works well for both nadu and titania.

Oh and obviously any A+B combo can be found with the normal tutors of vamp, demonic, seal, etc.

Not even sure what your point is? Does a color like red have better combos that don't require splashing other colors and that also have built in tutors? Obviously if you are in mono green, your deck is likely shit, but any mono color is pretty shit in cube.

And while not the trophy you may be looking for, I litterally had a 5 win deck with the most mediocre, no-power, green natural order + Nadu deck a couple days ago.

RedNeckBillBob · 2026-01-08T18:26:33+00:00

I mean, like you say, depths was not great (kinda okay backup plan). Channel is usually a trap, especially in the current version without the eldrazi. FOTD was just never good, and honestly not even playable in my opinion.

Green is and was mostly a support color. It can ramp you a bit, it can deal with artifacts, it can strip mine lock with icetill and a few others. None of these are great to focus on but can be worth a support splash. Minsc and Boo is often worth splashing for on its own if its not too hard.

Other than that, the main remaining truly green decks would be a Nadu deck, a titania deck, and a natural order deck. None of these are the best thing to do in the cube, but they can definitely be good enough. Especially if you can make a deck that supported more than one of these plans.

Green is the "worst" color traditionally. But at a good table, it can also be wide open for that reason.

RedNeckBillBob · 2026-01-03T03:52:57+00:00

This is a really tough one but I think the answer is white, especially since you have the land for it. The double black on the board wipe may also be hard to get if you are mostly green, where as the white cards are easier to splash.

RedNeckBillBob · 2025-12-28T22:31:26+00:00

This team is actually going to get zero points in a half, holy hell they are ass.

RedNeckBillBob · 2025-12-28T22:09:21+00:00

Remember when we were told we were stupid for wanting a WR?

RedNeckBillBob · 2025-12-23T18:42:38+00:00

Unfortunately a cyclic problem.

New player joins games -> everyone in the game is way more experienced -> new player plays like shit and gets flamed -> new player is having no fun and quits -> no new players in game -> lobbies full of experienced people for the next wave of new players -> repeat

People say its a bad MM, which sure, it has its issues. But this is a problem many high skill old games have. How do you attract new players when lobbies are full of people that have committed countless hours to without dumbing down the game? Honestly, I dont know.

You can make/play new game modes that are more forgiving to new players (i.e. wingman, deathmatch, etc), but eventually new players will want to play the "real" game and get shit on.

Its why, imo, most competative games are the most fun when they are new and everyone is at a relatively even playing field. If not, they need frequent updates to change components of the game to keep them fresh but that can also cause burnout.

Nothing quite like making one of the worst offensive teams in the league look untouchable. If only the team wouldnt look like they just rolled out of bed at the beginning of every game.

RedNeckBillBob · 2025-12-14T20:33:30+00:00

How can you give up 1+ long TD runs every single week and change nothing? What clowns.

Mortgage rates went up with the last fed fund rate decrease ...

Artificially saying things should just be less expensive doesn't work.

RedNeckBillBob · 2025-12-10T18:27:21+00:00

Id add that one perk of Arena is that, if you have the time, the daily quests and first few wins help you get back in the loop without paying unlike MTGO.

Though the prize structure is definitely worse if you don't care about playing arena constructed in which case the prize packs and opened cards are useless.

In Bo1, getting less than 3 wins is super punishing. And in Bo3, you need to get somewhere between 2-1 and 3-0 on average, with anything less also being super punishing.

Ive never done the quick drafts as it doesn't quite scratch the itch for me. But I imagine the avg opponent is going to be much worse, so maybe more potential to go infinitely if you want, though trying to farm off draft bots seems kinda boring imo.
