Which part? I'm happy to discuss it.
The part I quoted.
Nobody thinks getting knocked out of the playoffs in the second round is a "huge accomplishment" and nobody wants more of it.
It's just some bull#### strawman you create to try to make yourself feel superior to others.

Terry and a lot of fans feel that simply a Divisional Round exit with an elite QB is a huge accomplishment. It’s happened 3 years in a row and they want more of it.

First time I’ve really looked through the full list, and first impression is we’re not as bad off as I thought we’d be with so many pending free agents.
Yeah, the starters on both sides of the ball are going to mostly remain intact. I'll miss Hyde and Gabe Davis' blocking, but neither are irreplaceable at this point in their careers. The tough part will be replacing the high volume of depth they're likely going to lose and we saw how important that depth can be this year. It will be tricky but at least it's manageable. I don't see this team taking any significant steps backwards next season. Heck, it's even reasonable to suggest that we might already be adding a blue chip veteran DE with the hopeful return of the real Von Miller next year.

I think they should bring back Talkin' Proud and show the video that has the lady with the crazy chicken walk.

What we do know is that fully adjusted for the game pressure of the NFL Championship game,
Did you also adjust for the pressure of making a 45-48 yrd FG in the pressure of the NFC Championship game? Outdoors? On bad grass?
Or are you just selecting your data so that it will reach the conclusion of the narrative you've already decided on?

The word "probably" is pretty critical in understanding my post.
So you did a deep dive with a bunch of mathematics to make a declared conclusion that it was not worth it.
Yet your entire mathematical argument hinges on "probably".
Perhaps a game like football doesn't readily lend itself to rigid mathematical analysis.

But a field goal from that spot is probably 90% plus successful
This is patently absurd and bears no relation to reality
8 hours ago, Chaos said:and a conversion was probably 70% likely
Detroit's success rate this season on 4th/3 or less is over 77%

The first one was 45; I think the second one was around 48.
In both instances, both kicking and going were acceptable options; neither call was "wrong" in either instance.
Unless of course Badgley was struggling in pregame to make 45yrd kicks on that ***** grass; if that was the case, then going for it was absolutely correct.
From my perspective, I would have gone for the first one to keep pressure on SF, maintain possession to burn clock and hunt for a TD that might finish the game.
The second one I would probably have kicked to tie the game (again, dependent on how much Badgley was struggling pregame).

Both teams won that trade.
Are you guys getting the sense over there that he has essentially run himself out of KC over the last month or so?

The gameplan did not help lamar at all today.
I don't know how many times I shook my head at the TV today trying to figure out exactly what the hell they were thinking on offense.

Thanks. I really wanted to put him in over Dak, but Dak really does string together some very good games, and can do a little more (not much mind you) off script than Goff. I could be convinced otherwise probably.
Definitely close, but I probably have some recency bias.
I might be tempted to drop Hurts before Prescott.

I like this one, but I think I'd try to find a way to squeeze Goff in there somehow.
He's been really, really good

He's also tied to a QB who is not perfect.
I would categorize that as a very diplomatic, possibly even very generous description of Lamar Jackson.

Yessah bubs. Saw him gassin up the skiddah after the pig roast.
I lived in the sticks between Waterville and Belfast for a little over a year.
I absolutely loved the people up there.

No doubt. He's the pass catcher we hope we have in Kincaid but he trucks people like Knox. That said he still looks nuttier than squirrel turds.
You live Dahneast; I think you'd be used to that.

Not everyone you have made that response to called Campbell a stupid moron.
I never assumed they did, and said half to make that clear.

Kittle looks like he'd be in the basement killing rats with Charlie from Sunny in Philadelphia.
Did you see those two blocks he threw to spring McCaffrey on that huge play late that put them in scoring position?
He may be a different kind of dude, but damn he can play ball.

I was surprised at how ineffective he was running the ball today. That run he had early on a 4th and 1, the 1st or 2nd year Lamar Jackson would have broken it for a TD. I knew he would hit the wall eventually but he's only 27... If he has lost that magical ability, I don't know if his passing is good enough to win a Super Bowl. Not as long as he's got #17 and #15 standing in his way.
That's right about the age when those legs start losing that otherworldly jump.
If he can't learn to win from the pocket real soon, he's going to be an afterthought in the great NFL QB conversations.

I dunno. Neither do you. It could be him being aggressive. It could be him not trusting the kicker. It isn't often someone hears this argument for not kicking though. What I do know is their kicker is 37 of 48 lifetime kicking 40-49 yards including 1 of 1 this year and 8 of 10 last year.
I never claimed to know.
That's why I'm not running around calling people stupid morons for in-game decisions they made.
Half those same people would be calling Campbell a moron if he put the FG team out there on 4th/2 and his kicker missed.

I hear you, but do you want to end up as the last city in the whole league without a championship? I know I don't.
It's nothing against Lions fans. If my team and city hadn't suffered so much and gone through endless playoff heartbreak I would've gladly rooted for them today. Detroit has had plenty of success in other sports
I honestly don't care enough about them to feel good or bad for them.
Just think it's kind of weird when somebody wants others to suffer.

Dan Campbell hits on 20 playing Blackjack.
45+yrds FG on bad grass can be dicey propositions and we didn't see what the Lions crappy K was doing pregame, so I don't think either of those calls was necessarily "wrong"

I wonder how many of those things are still hiding out in WNY closets and shoeboxes 40 years later.
My guess is that both of our estimates would be low.👍
