  1. When you’re at your next high level financial market meeting, explain to the snobs what over/under means.
  2. Without a top? Because he’s a guy. Without a shirt? Dunno.
  3. The dude who bid $1 on a cushion less couch just couldn’t stop himself? Make a market?
  4. There will be a Hopkins-esque shiny object free agent receiver who, like Hopkins, will profess his desire to win and who, like Hopkins, will have a ridiculous 300 page thread on this board and who, like Hopkins, will sign with one of the worst teams in football for an extra $1.
  5. Perhaps the fact that he sucks played a role.
  6. https://adsabs.harvard.edu/full/1980QJRAS..21..267T
  7. A DB from Carolina signing with the Bills ought to create a lot of fun on this board.
  8. Wait. This chart says we’re tied for the fewest DBs taken in the entire league and are well below the league average. But I read on here 5,637,904 times that drafting DBs is our main priority and all we ever do. I trust this board so someone better fix that stupid chart.
  9. It’s really the only sport that has to worry about this stuff. Baseball has a natural progression. Other time based sports like hockey and basketball have possessions regularly changing. With frequent scoring in hoop and infrequent scoring in hockey, their systems make sense, especially in the NHL playoff. Soccer, a stupid sport, has a stupid system as it is much more well suited for sudden death like hockey but opts for the random penalty kicks after a fixed period. Dumb. Ties in regular season make sense but a World Cup final decided by penalty kicks is absurd. I don’t think there is really a great system possible for football without making it hokey like college.
  10. Lol was he calling the offensive plays in the second half or the red zone offensive plays in OT? Shanahan is a moron.
  11. I stopped reading when I saw sour grapes Creed Humphrey mentioned. He had about 36 bad snaps.
  12. I’m not saying there isn’t a case to be made for kicking. I’m saying simply dismissing the advantages that come from receiving is results oriented thinking based on tonight’s game.. The rule should be designed to be fair to both teams, kicking and receiving, and I think for the most part it is fair. There are advantages and disadvantages to each choice. Personally I can’t think of anything more 50/50 without being hokey. The college stuff is hokey.
  13. It’s not an extra down inside FG range.
  14. I think they would only face the wrath if each team scored scored equally on their first drive….0, 3 or 7, then the receiving team scored. If the receiving team scored then the kicking team failed, no real fallout for the coach.
  15. It is exactly the rule if both teams score equally on their first drive.
  16. That’s not entirely true. If you’re KC down three and face 4th and 2 from your own 25, of course. How about 4th and 2 inside FG range?
  17. Huh? If each teams scores equally on their first possession then it is back to the very old school rule of first score wins. So…..if first score wins and you win the coin toss is that an advantage or nah?
  18. If the receiving team scores a TD and makes the extra point, the worst that can realistically happen is that they are either tied in a game where the next score wins or they have to stop a 2 pointer. If the opponent scores and opts to kick for 1, then the receiving team has the advantage. If they score a FG and can hold the other team to a FG they gain a huge advantage. The only advantage for the kicking team is knowing what they have to do and possibly having 4 downs. SF failed in the game, but the rules are pretty even between kicking and receiving, maybe slightly favoring receiving. SF can blame their loss on being outcoached several times in or near the red zone. It also changes what they might have called in third down. And that is an absolutely huge reason.
