    NFL 2019 Season: It's Tricky!

    I'm sure the Saints wanted to ease Kamara back in, but man as soon as a defense stepped up a little against them pretty clear the whole 50/50 split stuff with Murray needs to stop. 1 guy was effective today, the other was not.

    2019-2020 NHL Season Thread: Uber Missed the Blues Victory Parade Edition

    Caps with just a single OT loss and 10 wins in their last 11 games. Can't really complain with 21 out of 22 standings points earned during that stretch, except that OT loss was a blown 3-1 lead.

    NFL 2019 Season: It's Tricky!

    The "only" 5800 attempts argument is silly. TD and Int % exist for these guys whole careers and it's pretty easy to see that Rodgers' efficiency in throwing TD's while avoiding picks is off the charts. You're talking about Brady and Manning who averaged 35 attempts a game, and Rodgers who...

    I feel like 2011-2014 was pretty insane elite, aside from being hurt for about half of 2013. Then he was great in 2016 again, but missed a lot of time in 2017 with the collarbone, and played hurt all last year with whatever he had. This year looking on pace for one of his better efficiency...

    NFL 2019 Season: It's Tricky!

    Rodgers may have been equally worth of MVP in 2016, but Ryan deserved it. Rodgers had 2 more TD's (they both had only 7 Int), but Ryan had superior yards, completion %, and an insane 9.3 yards/attempt over a full season.

    NFL 2019 Season: It's Tricky!

    Or Rivers with Megatron? But seriously, while I agree Rivers should probably have some more overall success than he does, it's pretty clear he's also had some very bad breaks come playoff times, most of which had nothing to do with him being a very good to great QB.

    NFL 2019 Season: It's Tricky!

    About the only thing Stafford is likely to dwarf Rivers in is passing yards...and that would likely only be by virtue of dwarfing maybe everyone by an even greater margin in passing attempts (Luck's attempts rate still slightly ahead of Stafford, who is #2). Although I will say Stafford has...

    I think he trolls with the super over the top "Pats only in pre-season stuff". When he actually tries to sound like he knows something we're just being nice calling it trolling.

    No the smart people compare his stats to his contemporaries when claiming he was the best during his career. It wasn't just Sanders either. Smith, Davis, George, Faulk. Shit Uber, at least pretend to know a little bit when you claim to be a student of the game.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Still pretty cheesy that Azshara and N'zoth get reduced to patch bosses (if that is indeed, how it all ends up). I think they're going for something entirely new with Shadowlands Big Bad, but the need to push Sylvanas so much means they just kinda gloss over what should have been much bigger...

    You'd be wrong about Bettis. It's not just the rushing yards, he only broke double digit TD's twice, his yards per carry were under 4.0 in 9 of his 13 years playing. Bus was just decent to very good overall numbers for a fairly lengthy career at RB. Wasn't just Sanders that was far better...

    Agreed, I wasn't disputing whether they should be in, just countering Uber's claim that you had to be the best at your position for at least 1 season to be in the Hall of Fame. Also Reed should have some Super Bowl records, going 4 years in a row to get stomped by the NFC. He's still great...

    2006. The game where Rivers had the Chargers up 21-13 and Brady and the Pats were facing 4th down from the Charger 41 with 6:25 to go. Brady throws a pick...which Marlon McCree FUMBLES the ball back to the Patriots during the return, giving them a fresh set of downs. Pats score TD and 2 point...

    Gotta say I'm a little disappointed, especially with the first round bye and all. When the Caps win another Cup I will be even more insufferable, and you know that Redskins revival is right around the corner.

    Maybe it's just because I have him in fantasy but watching Hunter Henry wide open underneath with all 3 timeouts while Rivers chucked up prayers 30-40 yards downfield was infuriating.

    Have to agree the travel just wouldn't be fair for a London team, nor their opponents each year. NHL for awhile was trying to sell league to Europe with thoughts of expanding to a whole division of teams in Europe, but the travel would just be too brutal overall.

    While it was good to get the resolution to the "meanwhile" part (although predictable in nothing actually happening), agree that the .1 part is so short compared to doing the full expansion msq it barely scratches the itch.
