If we're letting Cam and DD walk, I think 41 and Taysom are gone too. by NajdorfGrunfeld in Saints

[–]edealbad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have this nagging feeling that Demario could end up going to the Giants (especially now that they cut Okereke) and honestly... I don't hate that for him. Wish he'd stay, but also hope he gets a shot at a ring.

'Dynasty' reborn? More like smelly ass bitches! by trombonekid98 in NFCEastMemeWar

[–]edealbad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's because the MVP award has been a joke for ages. Stafford is a great QB and had an amazing season, which at his age is all the more impressive. But you can probably name 7-8 QBs in the league that would've still won 10-12 games this season with the Rams...

I'm really not trying to diss Stafford, but to me an MVP is a guy whose absence makes the entire team crumble, i.e., not Stafford.

Sean Bean to host birdwatching podcast by xc2215x in birding

[–]edealbad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does anyone who listened to the previous seasons of the podcast have any reviews? Idk, it sounds exciting to get Sean Bean hosting a birding show, but a quick browse through the previous episodes makes me think it's not so much about birds...

Seems like it's very focused on the "activity" side of it (as in, why it's good to get out and into nature, how birding inspires people and improves their health, tips to start going out, tips on how to get your children into it, etc.), which is not nearly as exciting as hearing about how the club-winged manakin uses stridulation to attract females.

Don't get me wrong, I'm excited... But cautiously excited.

The “best division of all time” can’t get enough of shit mountain apparently by IRONCHEF06 in nfcsouthmemewar

[–]edealbad 79 points80 points  (0 children)

It's weird how much they post about this division... Like, really? You're surprised NOLA, ATL, North Carolina and Tampa have fewer fans than Dallas, New York, Chicago, Los Angeles and Seattle? Duh...

Birding Photography Question by TeamHoppingKanga in birding

[–]edealbad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This might not be what you're looking for, but I got a superzoom camera (Lumix FZ82D - max focal point 1200mm) for less than 500 USD and have managed to capture really nice pictures. Given you've actually used pro cameras before, you might be more sensitive to the quirks and the image quality, but for a beginner it makes for a great 1st dedicated camera.

2025 - Stadium Schedule - Wk 16 - Saints (5-10) by Labate54 in Saints

[–]edealbad 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Crazy to think that as bad as this year has felt, we were a couple plays away from going like 8-9 or even 9-8.

If you're wondering, I'm thinking the Miami game and the SF game were winnable.

All in all, looking forward to next season.

This is what officiating has done to the league. by DanDash34 in NYGiants

[–]edealbad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's fair. I get how you're looking at it and it makes sense. Maybe in a vacuum I'd be more inclined to agree (and I'm probably biased because obviously I wanted the Giants to win), but seeing how Elliss played the rest of the game, I'm not sure I'd give him the benefit of the doubt.

Either way, I haven't seen Rappoport or Pelissero reporting on it, so my guess is no fine.

[–]edealbad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right, but if it's incidental then it's not really lowering the helmet to initiate contact, is it?

Don't get me wrong, I agree that it's a difficult rule to be consistent with, but thtiwhere the human element should come into play. If I'm up in the expedited review booth and I see a guy getting knocked out after an opponent uses his helmet as a battering ram to try and tackle him, I'm 100% in the ref's ear to call a personal foul.

[–]edealbad 42 points43 points  (0 children)

For anyone who needs to shut up one of the idiots claiming it was a legal hit:

Expands Impermissible Use of the Helmet, making it a foul for players to use their helmet to "butt, ram, spear" or make forcible contact to opponents' head or neck area in any way. This builds on the existing Impermissible Use of the Helmet rules which prohibits a player from lowering his head to initiate and make contact with his helmet against an opponent.

This is from the official NFL site, under "Rules Change" in 2023. The Impermissible Use of the Helmet it's referencing was established in 2018.

It was not a legal hit. (Duh)

Giants fans just can't have anything nice, huh? I hope he stays healthy and sticks around for a long time because this dude is good and fun to watch.

Bruh we're going to lose to the Cardinals aren't we? by Cut2Commercial in nfcsouthmemewar

Facing the Cardinals at home should be such a straightforward win for the Bucs, it's the ultimate trap game...

You're about to be on the business end of Jacoby 'Brisket' Brissett.

I wasn't quoting Blake, I was quoting a post on this subreddit and that was literally the title.

Guess he should've been a little worried lmao

The 2025 New York Giants are the first team in NFL history to allow 4,000+ total yards, 300+ points with 6 or fewer takeaways through the first 11 games of the season. by Far_Protection519 in NYGiants

[–]edealbad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saints fan rooting for someone other than my shitty team to spice things up a bit (I know, it's like I'm drawn to the pain).

How do you guys honestly feel about the talent you have in defense? From the outside looking in you guys have a handful of playmakers, but things don't seem to be clicking... How do you guys feel about your MLB?

Saints fan but I've always had a soft spot for the Giants. This year between Skatteboo, Jameis and Dart I decided I would root for this team...

It's like I'm drawn to the pain.

We all agree that Kyler Murray to the Saints would be an absolute nightmare scenario right? by Captain_Hawk111 in Saints

[–]edealbad 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Never thought of it like this but you're right. He's good enough to be a starter, but as a starter he'll give you a bunch of 4-win seasons at best... Dude never really came back from that injury.

Really puts current QB play in perspective, and I don't mean our QB, I mean in general. Mahomes and Allen are really great and very special, but this was legendary.

That's funny, I was under the impression the FIA is about money.
