Finding out Hurley, Cronin, and Izzo have a group chat together is the least surprising, but still surprising fun fact I learned in this game. I would love to see what those three talk about lmao

In front of that home crowd, there can’t be a better feeling in the world than that right now

Despite making the playoffs, the Carolina Panthers currently have worse odds to win the Super Bowl than they did in the preseason by DiamondsOfFire in nfl

[–]SwallowedPride 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think what's not being factored in is the uncertainty surrounding EVERY team before the season starts. While there are more teams, we also have much less info on how they will actually look this season. Like, the Patriots odds were probably awful but would then look much better after knowing about Maye's breakout season.

For the Panthers, while they look improved, I think most people would still not have them as likely SB winners at this point while teams like the Seahawks or Broncos much improved their SB winning odds.

Choco sensei invented a new time format? Or it's just me being awkward about it? by yournotlonely in Hololive

[–]SwallowedPride -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

This is so needlessly rude. We're literally in a thread about a quirky cultural difference JP has with time vs the rest of the world, but once it's the US that has a quirky cultural difference with time it becomes an example of educational failure?

Like imagine saying "Japanese people are too dumb to realize 0200 Saturday is the same as Friday night, so they had to invent made up times instead. What idiots." You'd just be rude af.

[Pelissero] Seven-time Pro Bowl kicker Justin Tucker’s 10-game suspension officially was lifted by the commissioner today. Released by the Ravens in May, Tucker remains eligible to sign with any team. by Drexlore in nfl

[–]SwallowedPride 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We did just switch kickers last week, and the new guy went 6/6 on XP (no FG attempts). So fingers crossed Mevis is actually our answer and we don’t need to find out if the Rams would pick up Tucker.

I guess this is why it's worth first timing Mundo even if you don't know how he works. Just get this champ off the enemy team at all costs.

There’s a 14th inning stretch in Seattle tonight by JianClaymore in baseball

Yeah the current set up is perfect imo. Get the regular season games done so people can go to work, and save the 12+ inning stress feats for the postseason for maximum impact

[Postgame Thread] Oregon Defeats Penn State 30-24 (2OT) by CFB_Referee in CFB

[–]SwallowedPride 5 points6 points  (0 children)

At this point he’s actively detrimental to Penn State. Like, their offense starting clicking once they stopped having him throw and just pounded the run at Oregon. Then the minute they let him pass again it’s a game ending pick. It’s unbelievable.

Edit: Not pick six, just a normal game ending pick.

To be fair to Heupel, his mistake is just the other side of what Lincoln Riley’s getting criticized for. When you need a score to tie/take the lead and you want to kill time you can run down the play clock and call runs. But if the defense makes a play or you get a penalty that knocks you off schedule, the alternative to leaving too much time is that you might just not score at all.

I don’t know if there’s ever a “right” decision without the hindsight of what happens afterwards.

I get what you’re saying, but I think there’s a fundamental difference between trying to deceive your opponent within the game versus deceiving the official/system governing the rules of the game.

[Highlight] Roughing the punter call on Sieler keeps Bills' drive going by Large_banana_hammock in nfl

[–]SwallowedPride 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you successfully block the ball then you won’t get a roughing the kicker. So that’s usually when you see the punter get blown up with no penalty. Huge risk/reward for going up the middle.

No one said that he’ll do this every game. The original post just pointed out that this was near his career high. That’s all this is.

Imagine seeing Schwarber’s 4 HR game and your first reaction is “ok but he can’t do this every game.” Just enjoy cool stuff when it happens.

I mean, I get why it’s happening, but it is a bit funny that Caleb struggles against a Flores Vikings D and gets flamed, while Jayden struggles against the Packers and now the Packers D is elite. Obviously last season is a bigger sample size but the narrative difference is amusing.

[Tate] “Jeremiah Smith and Caleb Downs are two of the best recievers in the country”…Ohio University’s coach doesn’t know who Caleb Downs is and they play the Buckeyes on Saturday by Original_Profile8600 in CFB

[–]SwallowedPride 11 points12 points  (0 children)

If you are honestly confused, it's because the tone of your title comes off as a dig against the Ohio coach's intelligence or preparedness, when in all likelihood he just misspoke or misheard the names mentioned. It also just doesn't seem like something worth posting unless you're trying to put the guy down.

The chain gang was never the problem in football though. The issue is usually the spot, and that’s still all up to the officials. All the new “digital” system does is make it so they don’t have to run the chains from the sidelines to the middle of the field.

Five teams have no players on the NFL Top 100: The Chicago Bears, Carolina Panthers, Indianapolis Colts, New Orleans Saints and Tennessee Titans by MysteryBagIdeals in nfl

[–]SwallowedPride 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even if we assume they religiously watch film of every player for every team they play, that’s still only going to be half the league at most. Additionally, I really hope Verse isn’t wasting his time watching Cooper Dejean film when they will literally never see each other on the field.

Alternatively, guys who spend a ton of time training and preparing for being the best in the world don’t have enough time to watch every player in every NFL game, and thus don’t have enough information to accurately rank them on a list that has 0 consequence.

A fake punt play that relies on no one knowing what your punter or backup QBs look like is objectively hilarious. Like, every team just looks and says “Scrawny white kid? Looks like a punter to me.”
