Mr. WEO

Shanahan record in SF is 39-43. 33 of his 39 wins are with JG at QB…

Josh Allen wasn’t “weakened” ever last season. The Bills were simply outcoached in that one game. Never changed their game plan despite unusually high winds gf precasted well before kickoff. They aren’t crying about paying Rodgers 50 million to play in the Green Bay weather. It’s an extremely weak argument

"The Bills need to get a big armed QB--and none of these Cali boys--to throw in the snow and the swirling winds off the lake!"

I agree. That team is loaded. At some point you look at the QB and the HC. The QB isn't going anywhere...

I just said that. So weaker teams need to plan to use it to their advantage (see: Bills v NE 2021). The wind equalized the offenses by taking away the passing advantage of the Bills.

The best coaches plan for bad weather and adjust their game as much as possible. The amount of games played in absolutely adverse weather each season isn't worth the expense of a dome. It's really for fan comfort. PSE didn't want to kick in for the extra comfort.

Is it too early to put Staley on the hot seat??!! Also, Belichick briefly put a pulse back in the Browns, going from 6 to 1 wins and a playoff with Bernie Kosar, Mark Rypien, Mike Tomczak, and Vinny Testaverde (in a row) behind the wheel---and everyone says "but he had a losing record in Cleveland!!". Every coach (21 of them) in the last 50 years but Marty Schottenheimer has had a losing record in Cleveland.

This ownership was never going to pay the extra for a dome, cooked up "survey" (of STH only) or not. Relying on a real survey, this stadium would never have been built at all--it was wildly unpopular statewide: 63% agaisnt: https://www.wgrz.com/article/news/local/new-york/siena-college-poll-nyers-approve-of-suspending-gas-tax-disapprove-funding-for-new-bills-stadium-new-york-state/71-835ac455-783a-45d9-9c34-6652035d6c95

There was a vote?

Things break down a lot for Lamar "What Second Read?" Jackson...

on the field the difference isn't a practical one. MPH is a meaningless way to prove that point.

I'm not sure where to go next. I provided you a summary of what has been published to date on the science of compression garments. The results are easy to read and understand. Every doctor who considers him or her self a specialist in this (sports medicine, for instance) is absolutely aware of this body of literature---they would have to be. If you have found a meta analysis of all of the published literature on this topic that has a completely different conclusion than the one I was able to find with ease---why don't you just link it? Anyway, seeing as you don't have any scientific rebuttal, I'll move on to point out that you missed the most important conclusion of the the meta analysis--that wearing the garments give them the perception of less discomfort and faster recovery. Literally, that's it. I've already told you why these things are used and why they are prescribed. To help you further, I will give a personal example: it is not uncommon after abdominal surgery, even laparoscopic surgery, for patients to ask for an abdominal binder to wear. Obviously, it has nothing to do for their healing process or recovery but they are adamant that they feel it will help them. Recognizing this, I write a script for one. It's as simple as that. This is magnified manyfold in sports medicine where you have people wearing "K tape" and such. They are convinced it helps. They have the perception that it helps them: heal, recover, get support...whatever. The studies confirm the perception effect. THAT is why your doctor prescribes these devices. The whole of the literature doesn't support any other significant effect from wearing them. Pointing out a fallacy isn't "arguing just to argue". It's the correction of an incorrect claim.

you've only proven that mph doesn't make one a great passer (neither does "arm strength" for that matter). And it doesn't separate him from Mahomes, for instance.

this makes no sense, but ok...lol

Not a meaningful stat. Josh with a 62 at the combine. no real difference between him and Mayfield, Logan Thomas, "Bryan Bennett" at 60 and a ton of bums at 59. It's a more meaningful questions of how far a QB can throw a ball 60+ mph.

You've GOT to be kidding! You clearly didn't even read the article---it is literally a meta analysis of the published literature on this very topic. Therefore it is not (quite laughably) "one study" but a summary analysis of 183 studies----and it's conclusions are easy to understand re: what the science of compression garments has yielded to this point, which is not much. The main and consistent impact has been on wearer perception of effect. Other than that, pretty convincing evidence that such garments increase the skin temperature underneath them (like, you know, a garment would). Since you couldn't be bothered to read past the title of the article, I'll answer your question with their conclusion demonstrated in the published data in this field as a whole (translated for you: "whether it works") and summarized in the conclusion of this meta analysis: "Despite the lack of consistent and clear evidence supporting compression garment use on cardiovascular, cardiorespiratory, and muscle damage and swelling measures, it should be noted that compression garments can increase skin temperature at the point of coverage, improve heat maintenance during and following exercise, and improve perceptions of muscle soreness and pain in the days following exercise. But hey, if wearing you magic tightie whitie underpants makes you feel better because your doctor recommended them....well, be comforted that the article you couldn't wait NOT to read says there is no evidence of negative affect of wearing these things. You should also know that doctors say a lot of stuff to get patients out of their office and off their answering service.

In 4 years, Khalil Mack (arguably a better impact player than Adams) has been traded for 2 1sts, a 6th and a 3rd and then a 2nd and a 6th to get him on his 3rd team in 9 seasons. He's added little value to the success of his 1st two teams. Expensive to maintain? Adams has cost 2 teams 3 1st round picks---but Jests only paid him 18 million because...well he was on a cheap rookie contract. The Seahawks will pay him over 3 times that---yet their D isn't much better than it was ij the years before he got there. The Rams traded a 2nd and a 3rd for Von Miller (an actual game changer) for a 2nd and a 3rd, cashed in for a SB, then let him walk.

nah.. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9023423/

The Seahawks were shopping Wilson 2 seasons before they blew 2 1sts on a safety (lol). So, no.

Doing what?

The tragic part is his ability to procreate. He beat his kid bloody. A true POS. I won't tip him at the Delta Sonic.

Star would have really opened things up for Von Miller...

Is there one for Poyer's performance that counters the PFF analysis? Maybe I missed the link

so you are saying that each such thread has a post by someone here who, knows football and analyzing the same data, describes how they graded the player differently. Interesting. Most responses are variations of : “yeah, but…PFF” and “it doesn’t pass ‘the eye test’”

Yeah everyone says that too---yet few if any have offered some other data based counter to PFF's analyses.
