    NHL 22-23: Tanking hard for Bedard

    I think the thing I most want from this season now is for the Leafs to lose Game 7 at home in Round 1. In overtime. On a shortie. Not even because I don't think they deserve a reprieve of a nice run to the ECF or something...just for the sheer let it burn factor.

    5th round pick, although if he had come out a year earlier he might have been a late 1st/early 2nd. Not hopeful he's "the guy". Feels more like a punt year knowing we don't pick high enough to get a real difference maker (or a likely one, at least), and don't want to pay through the nose to...

    Still need to figure out QB. WR room is looking pretty good, though, and RB not bad, either.

    His dad passed. Think it's unlikely he's back for the stadium game

    Sounds like parental health issues. Rather he takes care of his family first then be playing worrying about how they are doing.

    Low key Eagle defender did a nice jot sticking to his assignment on that play covering the eligible tackle that was trying to sneak out.

    And they can fuck up, and it can be two different guys making different calls a decade apart. In the end, tonight was actually a pretty well reffed game where they got a few close calls right.

    They shouldn't be. We've already discussed on here that Stafford's cap hit combined with the dead cap hit from Goff the Rams incurred was a big % last year, and Mahomes was something like 17% and change this year, so that old 15% number they used to talk about has been disproven already.

    Agree 100%. I just think about Niners/Ravens 4th and goal play where Crabtree gets hugged in the end zone and Jim Harbaugh is on the sidelines yelling for a hold and wonder where the consistency is.

    2022-23 NFL Season : Herbert's march to Glendale

    I agree with your point, pretty much 100%. But I also get the whole "let them play" mindset for big games like the Super Bowl for some ticky tacky penalty to not cause a massive potential outcome change. There's the whole "don't let it come down to 1 play to let the refs decide it" thought...

    Thing is, we see this call 3 times a game all season, but it's usually on 3rd and 3 with like 5 minutes left in the 2nd quarter of a Thursday night game. Just rough as fuck when we're watching a great Super Bowl, and it ends up being the difference between Hurts getting the ball back with like...

    I will say, I did see plenty of commentators talking about how everyone else in their division got better in the offseason while they only got worse (trading Hill, etc). Some even picked them to miss playoffs.

    I really thought they were in trouble at halftime, but Pacheco and run game put in enough work, and Juju/Toney finally showed up in 2nd half to give Mahomes other options than just Kelce in passing game. Their O line actually played fantastic limiting Philly pass rush.

    Window thing should calm down a little. SB winner the last 2 years basically disproved the whole theory about not being able to win with QB position taking up significant % of cap space.

    In the moment, I kind of thought he might have been sorta telling Kelce to cool it down a little bit.

    Honestly this outcome not so great for Philly. Hurts balled out huge, going to get biggest contract he can get now, for sure. Lot of FA on that D that will be hard to keep. Have to give them credit for the roster they put together this year but might have just barely lost out on best chance...

    They have a legit case to call it weak, though. If they were consistent about calling that shit it might help some, too. But they aren't, at all.

    No, the early pull he had handful of jersey. I mean it's weak, but it's a grab. That's why it's just holding and not PI b/c was before the pass. Affected the route slightly I guess. Just sucks that it's auto 1st down on a 5 yard penalty on 3rd and 8, though.

    Not going to lie, he held the guy, but that's such a weak call to make given the situation.

    Not the best play there, other than forcing them to burn timeout.

    Another 1st here and they might be able to run it down most of the way and kick.

    Eagles really need a TD in response here. Getting out of hand. Reid and Mahomes new Emperor and Vader to replace Belichick/Brady?

    Just some bad penalties on 3rd/4th downs to extend drives, giving up a 3rd and 14, etc. Luckily their offense has had 2 great drives in this half to give the D a bit of a breather. But hey, 1 point lead at this point, anyone's game now.

    Crazy that the Chiefs could take the lead here with a TD. Feels like their D hasn't stopped the Eagles all game. That one fumble rec TD doing major work.

    Dunno, in the other one ball seemed to be moving still while in this one once he re-gripped and toes were still down, clear 2 feet in.

    Honestly I don't have anything in general against Lebron, although I think he whines to officials too much (although sometimes for legit reasons). Only thing that really rubbed me wrong about him was how he handled leaving Cleveland originally. Can't ever root for the guy because of that...

    Lebron breaking the scoring record in a loss feels like the most Lebron thing ever.
