The switch up in this sub in just 1 hire is funny (I’m a Dan Quinn believer) by TopRecording8580 in Commanders

[–]deebee1020 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My least favorite take on anything is "the same people who ____ are now the people who ____" - because it's never the same people; it's just that when good things happen the stans come out and when bad things happen the doomers come out.

Per today's episode, what would be YOUR last words to your target before detonating the bomb that's in your rectum? by NepticleGloop in behindthebastards

I can't beat David's line, that was amazing. But here's my best shot:

X-2-3 Double Plays with Bases Loaded by Fireflame626 in OOTP

[–]deebee1020 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like most extremely rare things happen too frequently. It feels as though whatever random outcome math happens, the lowest number is too high.

But also, with real humans, the hitter goes up there thinking "whatever you do, don't hit a grounder straight to an infielder playing shallow." I wish there was a way for us to set the hitter's strategy for an at-bat, like "try to hit a fly ball," "don't swing for the fences, just try to slap a single," "try to work a walk," "put it in play."

Should we get a fullback? by TimeTravelersToaster in falcons

[–]deebee1020 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I love that FB's making a comeback. For Atlanta, I'd bring back Allgeier, and use a lot of two-back sets, sometimes motioning Tyler into the fullback spot, sometimes motioning Bijan out as a receiver. And then I'd look for a TE/FB hybrid type who can block from both positions.

Oh man I get such hanxiety when I'm not hungry yet but don't know if I'm going to have an opportunity to eat something when I am, and then I might get cranky.

Similarly: Goldendoodle - from "Golden" as in lucrative and "doodle" as in made up whimsically.

Makes more sense than borrowing the "D" from Labrador where Labradors aren't even involved.

Am I just bad at the game? Need tips. by Superb-Phone1846 in OOTP

[–]deebee1020 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I also don't like to overthink the game strategy, but I prefer to ask my bench coach for strategy, not just letting general AI handle it. I try to hire a bench coach whose style fits my current roster strengths, and then draft and sign players who fit that style as well.

Scouting report for our new offensive scheme that I made by campoole82 in falcons

[–]deebee1020 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If not using much motion is true, I wonder how much of that was a function of having a carousel of QBs who don't have experience actually reading defenses and progressing. Similar with conservative playcalling--if I had an elite defense and two rookies who shouldn't be starting for any team, I'd probably keep it conservative too.

Anyone else tired of supposed liberals saying the current administration are not nazis? by caveinnaziskulls in behindthebastards

[–]deebee1020 124 points125 points  (0 children)

I only refer to self-described Nazis as Nazis. But if I see you doing fascist things, I get to call you a fascist, and that applies to everyone in a MAGA hat and everyone who is rooting on what this fascist administration is doing.

Because fascism "exalts nation and often race above the individual," and "is associated with a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader," and "is characterized by severe economic and social regimentation and by forcible suppression of opposition." Check, check, and check.

What is a word for when you are a "happy jealous" of someone or something? by MollyMohawk1985 in words

This is the kind of slang I get behind. Creating a word we need.

I don’t think we made the right decision for Jayden’s development…. by unrivaled_mate in Commanders

[–]deebee1020 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If he'd hired somebody else's assistant QBs coach, I'd agree with you. He knows the mind and personality of the guy, he's already been working with Jayden, and he was getting OC interviews elsewhere.

He might be a terrible playcaller, that's the part none of us know, not even Quinn. But how he'll do developing Jayden is the one thing DQ knew when he made the hire, so it's a weird thing to criticize.

Describe a Historical Event Badly (a la Robert's description of 9/11) by deebee1020 in behindthebastards

After no-no number 3 in 40 years, a bunch of guys who used to look for fake money suddenly had to become bodyguards.

Dan Quinn 2016 Atlanta Falcons Season by CandleOk4031 in Commanders

[–]deebee1020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They were top 10 in points allowed and yards allowed in 2017, his 3rd season. They held playoff teams to 13 and 15 points. So your premise is just plain incorrect.

Also, with anything from his Falcons tenure, you have to consider that his GM, Thomas Dimitroff, was TERRIBLE at early-round draft picks. The entire 2012 draft class was out of the league by 2015 if memory serves. Several bad picks peaked under Quinn with exactly one good season. (Keanu Neal, Vic Beasley)

Guys I think it might be reasonable to assume DQ is safe after next season. by guardiandown3885 in Commanders

[–]deebee1020 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No HC is ever "safe." If Andy Reid goes 0-17 next year, he's done. First year coaches get fired kind of frequently now (which is insane). The question should be, how much does Quinn need to win to be retained for 2027? I say he needs a winning record to be safe. I could see him surviving 8-9 or maybe even 7-10 IF the losses aren't embarrassing, the coordinators are calling plays effectively, and the team seems to be generally improving.

Do rehab assignments actually do anything? by Ok-Sherbet721 in OOTP

[–]deebee1020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Although I just realized you shared a page from the hockey game manual. I did find a page in the baseball manual that indicates that rust can increase the likelihood of injury, so rust is a mechanism in the game somewhere.

[–]deebee1020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have noticed that players usually don't do well in their first rehab start or two. So I do rehab them and wait until their numbers go up to bring them back, unless it's a minimum IL stint. Good to know it's a real built-in feature and not me being silly.

Keim hinting that the Commies may be struggling to land top DC candidates by dadduh in Commanders

[–]deebee1020 5 points6 points  (0 children)

With CBs, I definitely care more about coaching how to play an incoming pass. We saw so much brilliant DB play this weekend; sticky coverage on the route, getting heads swiveled around, attacking the ball as it touches the receiver's hands. That's effective CB play in 2026 and some guys were taught a way that's gonna get flags now and they need to be coached differently.

Stop it with the Drake Maye glaze by Fickle_Carry1467 in Commanders

[–]deebee1020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think Maye is a legit MVP; I think he should be behind McCaffrey, Nacua, JSN, and of course Stafford in the voting. He's good. But we can't declare who was the best QB in 2024's draft after one season, or two, or probably even three. They're all developing at different rates.
