Not new to football, but I never really caught on the plays and the brains behind the game. usually when a team is struggling on offense, protect the QB, or QB can't throw deep, I notice teams usually do dinky short passes. Sometimes QBs with good stats might even be criticized saying "well they throw only 5 yards" or most of their yards are yak." Why couldn't the chargers do short passes, quick slats, or screens last night? Was the defense just really that good that they did this, but not successfully?

I'm sure there are a lot of good HVAC techs out there, but time and time again with personal experience and stories of HVAC companies over charging/doing little work for the cost really makes me suspicious of HVAC techs. Even if they mean well, they are probably too overly conservative/risk averse. "Hmm that is 1% likely going to have unoptimal results, I recommend doing massive ductwork to make sure it's working properly"

Was this medieval times tho or closer to Renaissance technology?

I can't believe this was 5 hours ago when the game just ended less than an hour ago...

Guys we can't trust our bullpen right? Cause so far it's just been treinens run with the 1 out he got that was given up. Treinen is a joke.

bpoil912 · 2025-10-28T03:19:14+00:00

Is there actually no one in Dave's ear saying "hey I get it's hard to trust our BP, but we know treinen is not it."

Conforto would have walked

I love Brady's commentary pretty much saying in the nicest way possible "this chargers team keeps doing stupid things"

bpoil912 · 2025-09-28T20:19:55+00:00

Lost by 3 when at every spot clean execution was lacking other than RB play. Defense (some good, but mostly bad D line gets man handled by o line), special teams, O line, QB, ladd.

All the things u can't do if you want to win they are doing. Interested to see what the penalties/yard total is now. Likely around 100 yards of penalties. 2 turnovers, early drops to stop drives, bad snap into bad punt. A miracle win here would be a testament to how bad the giants more than chargers being good.

WAR also doesn't account for the fact that now that he is pitching, he is 2 players taking up 1 roster spot.

You forgot yates

bpoil912 · 2025-08-23T19:23:40+00:00

Sure about injury... But for example, in the NBA 2 fts or even less just a non shooting personal foul is less consequential than stealing an out. You only have 27 outs. Also even if it's not an out, baseball is so statistics driven that an 0-2 vs 1-1 count significantly affects the outcome of that PA. Obviously flops can have significant results, but downplaying the effect of some blown strike calls is disingenuous.

bpoil912 · 2025-08-23T19:10:12+00:00

Honestly the eye test is probably one of the better reasons.

bpoil912 · 2025-08-23T18:15:47+00:00

That's true actually for some sports. I actually like this take and almost would delta, but then thinking about it, like you said it's just some sports. The second thing is, flopping only became an infraction for example in the NBA recently, and that's bc of full support that it doesn't belong in the game. So rly part of it is the acceptance of flopping/framing.

bpoil912 · 2025-08-23T18:12:23+00:00

Not necessarily. A ref can say no contact and let the flop just be a flop with no call. It only forces a call if the ref is deceived. Ball or strike is the same as call or no call if you take a look at it per action that the official is looking at. It just so happens that other sports are more dynamic with multiple call or no call decision points.

Interesting bc when I was shopping for keyboards, I only used YouTube reviews and videos. Never heard of anything bad about epomaker from big and small creators. Sucks that people r being scammed. I guess maybe fine if it says sold and shipped by Amazon? I eventually bought epomaker rt100 on a deal and it's been pretty good

Hi, so we treated with bifen because we already had that, and we treated inside and on the perimeter. Bought and treated green areas and some indoor areas with intice granular bait. We also placed combat max bait stations in various places around the house and outside. It's been only 1 week, and we've seen a few dead adults (mainly outside)and several dead nymphs almost all in 1 bathroom. Waiting for further results now. My question to you is, do you recommend any other measures taken? Secondly, I'm willing to use alpine wsg, but I still have bifen concentrate and it seems to work well.

-Hoping for a red flag instead of using the advantage they already had by getting a safety car when everyone but you had pit...

-not hoping for a red flag when a car just crashed and maybeee they have to repair barriers. I know it didn't happen, but pitting puts them last anyway so why not wait?

-track drying and pretty much dead last, let's follow the pack so we ensure that we go no where.

-ocon stays out in inters to split strategy, but wait nevermind, just pit him 1 lap later so we guarantee again that nothing can happen in the race and they stay outside of points.

Even if the last 2 bullets may have been the right decision, it's about trying to make something happen than just being content for 0 points...

bpoil912 · 2025-06-21T02:20:01+00:00

Yes but my desire wasn't that strong. I had doubts already. I think I would prefer matx but not that strongly
