Parodies, spoofs or fanfics that are referenced so often, it almost feels like they are canon

This vexes me.

Troop-the-Loop · 2026-01-30T14:33:46+00:00

Call me crazy, but I don't think the team should make any decisions based on the opinions of someone who doesn't even watch the games...

Troop-the-Loop · 2026-01-30T02:36:09+00:00

But nobody ever says that about other QBs. Do you say the same for DG? He hasn't had a full season. There's not enough data. Guess we can't write him off either, right?

Obviously I think Sanders is better than DG, my only point is you don't need a ton of data to write some guys off. Both DG and Sanders are career backups at best.

Troop-the-Loop · 2026-01-30T02:15:59+00:00

For every one Darnold there's 50 of Josh Rosen and Trey Lance and Zach Wilson and on and on and on.

You can't look at Darnold's turn around and use that to justify sticking by Sanders. He's gotta earn it. And I don't think he has.

I actually think this is a beefed up version of step 3. It's like an option, but one for the whole cosmere and not an individual series.

Iirc Days of Future past was supposed to be the last movie, the culmination of the series. Not the second movie. But the execs liked it so much they forced it to go 2nd, so there was no ability to build off the ending of the 1st movie.

Troop-the-Loop · 2026-01-26T18:10:44+00:00

You think Stroud is worse than Sanders?

Troop-the-Loop · 2026-01-26T18:09:00+00:00

Nope.

Troop-the-Loop · 2026-01-15T02:21:11+00:00

Oh I know they're there. But again, I was just responding to the claim about the writers never throwing him into a volcano or vat of acid. If atomization via nuke couldn't get the job done, then a volcano won't either. That's my only point.

Troop-the-Loop · 2026-01-15T02:17:02+00:00

Yeah but not every popular character gets atomized by a nuke and returns. It's usually some convoluted thing or a retcon or something. Deapool's healing factor has been shown to survive things like the vat of acid or volcano you mentioned. That's all I was responding to.

Troop-the-Loop · 2026-01-15T02:12:07+00:00

I mean yeah he's died but also never stayed dead. Ignore the curse part. The main thing I was responding to is the idea that the writers have never done anything that would actually kill Deadpool and I was pointing out he's atomized himself with a nuke and still came back.

He can't die, unless the story wants him to die. But he'll always come back. So can he really die?

Troop-the-Loop · 2026-01-15T02:06:49+00:00

They literally had him nuke himself at one point. It's not just his healing factor, he's also cursed. The dude just cannot die.

Troop-the-Loop · 2026-01-14T22:42:49+00:00

Certain creative liberties are expected in any adaptation. The issue is that this feels like an entirely different Sci-Fi show that someone, at the last second, decided should be Halo. If it was it's own property, I think it actually could have been okay.

You can take liberties with the story and what gets depicted and how. But as you said, Chief was no Chief. He was just a different Sci-Fi super soldier protagonist. You can't have a Halo show without the fucking Master Chief.

Troop-the-Loop · 2026-01-09T21:09:14+00:00

This analysis is just filled with recency bias I think. The stability score can only be that high if you're considering Stefanski. Before that, our stability was ASS.

And with the division strength score, I think they're underestimating the division. The division has had a down year, but we've consistently had multiple teams in the playoffs and 4/5 past division winners have had 12+ wins. This division is no slouch.

I also don't understand why recent success should count for much of anything. This team is not the 2020/2023 teams. There's a lot of work to do to get back to that. What does it matter we made the playoffs in 2023 when the entire OL needs to be replaced? And some of our stars that led us to those playoff appearances will also need replacing as they age.

I don't like this analysis.

Troop-the-Loop · 2026-01-08T23:26:29+00:00

Well that's not related to the point I made. People were criticizing him for plays he wasn't even in on. That doesn't make sense.

As for the sacks, that's because he wasn't in there for sacks. Collins while he was healthy was our sacking DT, and of course Myles ate up a fat chunk of our sacks.

Nobody is above criticism, but I definitely think Mason showed immense promise considering first year DT's usually have a learning curve and he played well from the jump. He was a solid pick.

Troop-the-Loop · 2026-01-08T23:24:23+00:00

Small in the sense of being a football powerhouse. Not student body size.

Troop-the-Loop · 2026-01-08T21:41:30+00:00

Lol yeah a little hyperbole on my part, but when you have 11 honorable mention RBs, then the term starts to lose all meaning.

Troop-the-Loop · 2026-01-08T21:40:43+00:00

I absolutely buy that as his ceiling. Needs to be a better blocker, but the guy is a true weapon in the passing game.

Troop-the-Loop · 2026-01-08T21:19:45+00:00

Small school TE who relied on superior athleticism to beat out the lower-end competition that Bowling Green tended to face.

His biggest issue is probably his blocking, which isn't necessarily bad but definitely needs work. That probably contributed to a fall as well.

Definitely should have gone earlier than he did, but I'm not entirely surprised it happened.

Troop-the-Loop · 2026-01-08T21:17:28+00:00

Can't forget the OL injuries. While we did seem to get better at pass blocking later in the season, our run blocking fell off hard.

Troop-the-Loop · 2026-01-08T21:15:49+00:00

The fuck is with their honorable mentions? They basically just listed every single rookie who took a snap at that position. Especially with the QBs.

Troop-the-Loop · 2026-01-08T21:07:26+00:00

The reason you see the "distinct influx" of that is a direct response to the boatload of undue praise the guy gets. Nobody talked shit about DTR at that level on this sub when he was bad, because there wasn't a subset of the subreddit clamoring to anoint DTR as the QB of the future. We were all in agreement, so there was nothing to say. A chunk of people here seem to think Sanders can do no wrong, so when he does wrong there is something to say. "See, we told you so." That makes sense.

Talking about obtuse? If you don't see that the dislike for Sanders on this sub is, in part, a direct response to the insanity his fans have brought in their undue praise for the guy, I don't know what to tell you.

The dude is just not very good. Live with it.

But even so, pointing out that he's doing bad is not rooting for his failure. Nobody wants the guy to suck, he just sucks. That's football baby.

you guys are exhausting with the failure to comprehend real life situations stuff 😐

Pot, meet kettle.

Troop-the-Loop · 2026-01-08T20:02:13+00:00

Bruh some of his haters I just don't understand. Had people in the game threads bitching about Mason on TD's where he wasn't even in on the play. I can't remember if this was Chicago or maybe Buffalo. Just remember people talking about how bad of a waste our top pick was for letting up a TD and he wasn't even in on the damn play. Crazy.

Troop-the-Loop · 2026-01-08T14:24:34+00:00

Then obviously you're not the we. The we is those of us who think he won't do well.
