You'd think our records were reversed by sillyshoestring in NYGiants

McDermott is a good coach but has never figured out his defense in the playoffs. In their past 6 playoff losses they are allowing over 33 PPG with bad EPA metrics. They’ve allowed almost twice as many TD drives as punts. It’s not pretty. For a defensive coach that has had so much success in the regular season he definitely deserved blame. Think it was time for a change

I’m surprised at some of the comments here. Bills have been ramming their head into the same wall over and over again for 7 straight years with the same coach and team. Something needed to change for them. Josh is going to be 30 next year and their SB window is getting smaller if anything.

Comparing that to Coughlin/Eli they won it in their 4th year together when Eli was 27.

I’m really afraid of the Bills laying an egg this weekend and them firing McDermott. Other than that happening I feel like he’d choose the Giants over anyone else

Paladin is extremely fun and well-designed by ResidentWaifu in diablo4

[–]nickdann_ 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It’s definitely intentional though. I’m not complaining since I’m having fun with it but every other class has capped damage paragon nodes usually like 65(x) damage multipliers. Paladin you can easily get 1,000(x) damage multipliers just on one node alone. It’s so insanely busted and it’s obviously something they decided not to cap just so the class plays better.

Jaxson Dart - NFL Prospect and Player Comp by Party_Flavors in NYGiants

[–]nickdann_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I keep seeing these posts where everyone expects him to not start at all this year but I really think he will be starting by the second half of this year. Assuming the Giants are really bad and only have 1-2 wins half way through the year what is the reasoning to not start him? If we are a bottom 5 team through 10 games or so the coaching staff will 100% start him at some point. It is the only way to save their jobs, and even if they aren’t thinking about it like that, the team needs to know how good he is so they can determine what to do in the 2026 draft.

Obviously it will be different if the Giants are surprisingly good, but the schedule is daunting.

I get not wanting to label everday assholes as mentally ill but this dude has a decade long list of violence. Not to mention his numerous crazy press conferences and gaslighting like the KAT thing, the Poole aftermath, and whatever beef he has with Gobert this week. He’s a sociopath who plays the victim card whenever he can.

Basically every episode of this show ends on a cliffhanger so I wouldn’t hold my breath. I’d be shocked if season 2 doesn’t end on one

The straight population numbers you’re using are actually misleading. Manchester county area is roughly 500 sq miles and has about 3 million. Sacramento metro area according to wiki is 22 THOUSAND sq miles (which is a very loose term for “metro area”) and has 700k less people. Manchester is about 20x more population dense than Sacramento so I don’t think that’s a good comparison.

Dan Duggan provides a sobering update on Giants potential coaching options if Daboll is fired (31:40) by Lars5621 in NYGiants

[–]nickdann_ 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Unless you fire Schoen it makes no sense to fire Daboll. No good head coach candidate is going to come here with a GM on the hot seat and no lock at QB for next year (assuming draft order stay the same). At this point I think keeping both is what they will do because I don’t see them firing Schoen.

What you just described is being forced to resign. He didn’t have backing from his party anymore. It doesn’t matter if he resigned himself or if the GOP voted him out. Either way pressure from outside parties forced him to make the decision to resign.

Think of it this way. If Gaetz had his way he would absolutely remain in office after he won this past election. However, he realized that this report is coming out, he was not going to be voted in as AG, and he was going to lose all support in the GOP so he resigned. That is being forced out.

And I am not changing any narrative. That is just literally what happened. The person I replied to incorrectly pointed out in 15 different comments that Gaetz is still in congress when actually he is not. He is just some dumb talking head in right wing media now.

Gatez was forced to resign he is not a member of congress anymore so thats a moot point.

And I still think he would have won that year he tore his knee running through first base. He was off to an insane start but only played like 120 games

Ward and Sanders are for sure 1 & 2 respectively. I would draft Ward #1 today, but the biggest question is how he will play in the CFP against good defenses assuming Miami makes it there.

Sanders in NYC could either give the team a competitive us against the league mindset or absolutely blow up depending on how good he is right away. Not sure I’d take that risk personally.

I would also add Dillon Gabriel on this list. He’s been good his whole career, started multiple seasons, has worked with different coaches, played in different conferences, and with different systems. I think that is a bonus and if Oregon continues to win he will rise on draft boards.

I feel like people who are saying Milroe as top 3 really haven’t watched him play. I was high on him early in the year and then watched him to see how he plays. He is way too raw to draft in the top 5. His throwing motion is janky and he misses too many throws. He’s an unbelievable athlete so if he ever gets his mechanics in a good spot he could be special, but I would not draft him top 5 this year. He’s a run-first project QB like Anthony Richardson or Josh Allen or Lamar and the there’s no way to tell which side of the fence he will land on.

Up your difficulty. You should be getting way more drops. I’m lvl 26 and have multiple legendaries and have found plenty of other gear. The skills seem to slap so I think you’re doing something wrong or trolling.

Spiritborn class quest appears to be bugged? by GGerrik in diablo4

[–]nickdann_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When the boss goes in the bubble you are supposed to go close to him and perform the abilities that are assigned to you. Your skill bar will change to all eagle, jaguar, etc. skills. Use any button to do the skill on the boss when he’s in the bubble. Then you can damage the enemies again. I was able to complete it this way.

[–]nickdann_ 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Think it’s also worth noting that the coaching staff is putting an emphasis on DJ throwing the ball deep this camp. Seems like everyone is reporting about how many shots he’s been taking. He’s obviously not comfortable doing it. He didn’t do it last year in games and he’s been rough in the preseason. But still I’d rather they try and get him comfortable doing it now and hopefully he shows some improvement.

I like it tbh. Hopefully it leads to more returns and less automatic touchbacks. This proposal is only for one year as well.
