Pat Chung was solid too

hasty mesa
#

Speaking of QBs

rustic mountain
#

When we learned how to use hum

#

Him

weak gull
#

Bill is generally good at getting the right guy for his secondary

hasty mesa
#

How long is Mac Jones in NE

#

Is he your guy for a while

rustic mountain
#

I hope for not too long

weak gull
#

It’s offense he needs to give the keys up to someone

rustic mountain
#

Well

#

I think he did

#

To BOB

weak gull
#

😭😭

rustic mountain
#

If that is gonna be good, I have no clue

#

The dude at least knows offense so

hasty mesa
#

Until I see otherwise I don’t fear the Pats

#

We play you this year

rustic mountain
#

I wouldn't fear us

#

Our defense will give you problems

weak gull
#

Really hope he pans out. He still living off that one decent year at Penn state off the sanctions imo

rustic mountain
#

But

#

Bout it

#

He wasn't bad in Houston either

#

Just at the end went awry

weak gull
#

he’s never been bad, just think he’s very average imo

hasty mesa
#

You’re playing us at MetLife too

#

Rip

rustic mountain
#

I mean his 2011 pats two tight end offense was amazing

hasty mesa
#

I think full NFL schedules come out May 11

rustic mountain
#

We just ran into kryptonite

#

Named Eli fucking Manning

hasty mesa
#

Dude

#

2011 was interesting

rustic mountain
#

I wanted that 2011 win so bad

#

I wanted the Giants to suffer for ruining 18-0

#

Oh well

#

Losing 3 sbs out of 9. I can't really complain

hasty mesa
#

Crazy to think how both of our post millennial SBs are against the greatest QB

#

And we won

#

Says a lot ab the D

rustic mountain
#

Our high flying offenses just got shut down each time.

#

But Aaron Hernandez woulda been a super bowl winner so

#

I think the world won on that one

hasty mesa
#

We probably contributed or reinforced the whole “defenses win championships” thing

rustic mountain
#

At that time defense did

hasty mesa
#

But I also look at this past Super Bowl and see that truly good offenses score high on any defense

rustic mountain
#

Hell up until about

#

2016 defense did win titles

#

Actually our defense won us one in 2018

#

So

#

It was true for a good long while. But the league has moved on

hasty mesa
#

Yeah

#

Seems like you need an offense that can score 30+ on anyone in the league to win the SB

rustic mountain
#

Still think it needs to be said if you have a D that can hold a Mahomes to 21 points

hasty mesa
#

Though ofc you could blame the field for limiting defenders

rustic mountain
#

You're in a hella good spot

#

I think that's Bill's gameplab

#

Plan*

hasty mesa
#

The Eagles should’ve been able to do that and didn’t

rustic mountain
#

A defense that holds the offense to under 21

hasty mesa
rustic mountain
#

So Mac doesnt have to

#

Paper doesnt matter

#

If it did the Leafs would be up 3-0

hasty mesa
#

Paper doesn’t matter when Mahomes can toss TDs to wide open dudes in the red zone yeah

#

I blame Reid

rustic mountain
#

Reid is a great mind

hasty mesa
#

That’s just a catalyst to an already huge fire named Mahomes

rustic mountain
#

One of the best to coach

#

Mhm

hasty mesa
#

However

#

What’s different now

#

Mahomes has a strong AFC to fight

#

Pats had it easier arguably

#

When Brady was doing his magic

rustic mountain
#

Mmmmm yes and no. Depending on the year

hasty mesa
#

Could just be me knowing recent football more

#

But I look at your Bengals and Bills

#

They can easily end the dynasty in playoffs

#

I say dynasty but the Chiefs aren’t that yet

rustic mountain
#

Well

#

Brady had Manning for a good long while. The steelers never were a threat but they were a powerhouse at the time

#

The Ravens were around sometimes

#

It just depended

#

I will say rn on paper Mahomes has it harder but hindsight might go "oh josh allen couldn't win shit"

hasty mesa
#

Would u say it’s harder for Mahomes to take Burrow’s Bengals or was it harder for Brady to take Manning

rustic mountain
#

Not enough matches yet

#

It could tilt either way

hasty mesa
#

Fair

rustic mountain
#

Brady played Peyton like 16 times

#

And it took an odd shape

weak gull
#

Flaccos Super Bowl run was magnificent

Still one of the best performances by a qb in a playoff run to the bowl

When I went "I am getting into hockey time to choose a team"

And my choices were San Jose, Edmonton, Toronto, and Calgary

Only time I’ve seen a team I followed achieve something they’ve finished 18, 19 and 15 out of 20 in the next 3 seasons

rustic mountain
#

I narrowed down. To that

#

Told you not to pick Calgary.

rustic mountain
#

And I didn't

#

Thank god

short flame
#

I would have gone Calgary KataOmegaLUL

#

I had the choice between sabres and ducks

Calgary pisses me off

rustic mountain

Eh maybe it's for the best. Moving to Saskatchewan most people like the Oilers

Johnny Hockey deserved better

I woulda been mauled

Good thing I chose the sabres

If people find out I don’t follow the canadiens

rustic mountain

The Praries really don't like the Maple Leafs man lmao

They see it’s the sabres and they just pity me

rustic mountain

Yeah you coulda been in a worse spot

Not getting beaten up

#

And now Matthew Tkachuk is in Florida. Because of course he decides to show up after leaving Calgary.

rustic mountain
#

I think that goes to show Calgary just needs to overhaul. Which I mean they started

short flame
#

Instead of being mad I don’t like their team they just feel bad

rustic mountain

I wonder what it's like in montreal

Hockey wise

But from what I understand, Montreal isn't as

As the rest of Quebec

It’s tough to open up after all they’ve been through historically

#

So it’s more open

#

You can survive in Montreal without knowing French

#

There used to be an English team in Montreal back in the day

#

Sadly the maroons died

rustic mountain
#

Ahh

#

Yeah my gf and I talked about Montreal a bit as like

#

If she got her dream job, we would try to move to near Montreal

#

Not quite in it if possible

#

And I was way hesitant because like

#

I am a non French, American turning Canadian

#

But she kinda explained some differences

short flame
#

The rest of the province either hate the canadiens and follow any other team or watch lhjmq

rustic mountain
#

Oh if we move to Montreal I am hiding Leafs fandom

#

100%

#

I already don't like going to sports bars in Saskatchewan with a Tavares on lmao

Mhm for sure

I know now that Montreal wouldn't be bad

Since i was a leafs fan for so long, doesn’t feel right to jump ship to another team

#

Leafs about to trade nylander and marner for the first overall pick

#

Matthews and bedard

robust grotto
#

Leafs nation

celest zephyr
#

Fr though i could see them trading one of their big pieces for a first

#

Pretty good deal for most teams

#

Why settle for a pick or two when you can get a guy you’d hope you got with that pick in the first place?

#

Guys like marner Reilly and nylander would be amazing outcomes for a pick

robust grotto
#

I do think it’s Nylander

#

Reilly and Marner are leaf’s guys, I’ll be honest I don’t see them moving

#

Matthews will walk when his contract finishes. I think you guys are too deeply invested to trade him now. Sorta like a Johnny situation in Calgary last year or a Tavares in his final islander year

#

Absolutely no one is taking a 30 year old Morgan Reilly for another 7 seasons at 7.5 mil a year

robust grotto
celest zephyr
#

I want an actual number 1 d man

#

Instead of Reilly

#

I mean I could see him being solid for a younger team

#

As a vet and a guy who can shore up their blue line

#

Matthews? Idc honestly

#

If bro doesn’t show up then walk

#

He ain’t going to get paid what he dreams of with his vanishing act

#

It absolutely blows for it to end this way, but i mean I’d rather guys who can show up

#

I’d be willing to go all in and say if y’all want to win and get paid the big bucks here or anyone else then stay and we going to run it back

#

Trade whoever doesn’t want to show up

#

If all of them don’t then just ditch em all

#

Ain’t worth the investment

#

Dubas can get canned also

robust grotto
#

I can’t agree with Dubas but I understand the frustration

#

You can only take so much of losing in the same fashion

celest zephyr
#

The issue to me isn’t how good he is

#

But the simple reality that if they want to break away from the core and how it’s built then it makes sense to also can the architect of it

#

If he succeeds elsewhere I’m happy for him

#

But its clear to me that if this core is gone then him and shanahan’s times are up

#

Not a fan of keeping a guy who’d be more likely to just pay these guys a crap ton of money for no proven results

robust grotto
#

Aye more power to them, obvious things end up the same year in and year out so why would it hurt

#

I personally don’t believe for a second you guys will find a better GM than Dubas right now. But maybe that’s exactly what the leafs need. Someone else to run the show

celest zephyr
#

I don’t either

#

But I’m not looking for that

#

I just want a guy with a new vision

rustic mountain
#

I don't think Dubas is the problem

#

I think he made a bet on admittedly very talented players

#

And they gave up on him

#

I don't think he is the problem

#

I think Keefe and Marner are where to start

celest zephyr
#

I don’t either but man I just want a wholesale rebuild

#

They gave up on him but still he bet on them and they didn’t live up to it

#

That’s how it works

#

He put all his chips into this core and it didn’t pan out

#

He tied himself to them at the end of the day

hasty basin
#

Uhh

celest zephyr
#

If only they were magic and can play

#

This sums up my thoughts on all of these

#

Who would have thunk that the players on the field win games

hasty basin
#

It is pretty disrespectful tho lmao

#

RMA have one of the best GKs in the world

#

Just to start with that

#

Like I get the whole "we don't fear them"

#

Thing

celest zephyr
#

Saying anything like this is disrespectful

hasty basin
#

But no one's agreeing with him

#

Just a plain stupid sentenCe

celest zephyr
#

Like you can say you don’t care and you play every team the same way

#

Which gets the same point across

But saying this is just asking to get your asses kicked

Ugh pooleeeee

Wasn’t even that far off

#

Don’t need curry or Thompson to lay bricks when they can already

You're paying Poole 28 mil a year rn 😭

Man if lakers beat the warriors this series, im getting a bron jersey istg

That’s how much i hate the warriors LUL

Also im tired of warriors winning

Glad he wasn't too hurt by Draymond

Feel bad for Jokic last night tho lmao

Imagine scoring 53 points off 66% shooting and getting 10 assists just to lose

celest zephyr
#

He’s making 3 mill this year

hollow wind
#

right right

celest zephyr
#

Yeah yeah i know its bad but it’s still an important distinction

#

Also means the salary crunch is really next year and beyond

hollow wind
#

But what is it in total? Like 4 years/125 mil or something?

celest zephyr
#

What with kuminga Draymond and klay extensions

#

4/123 can be up to 128

hollow wind
#

damn

#

You think you'll extend Draymond?

celest zephyr
#

Very similar to the herro contract which is 4/120 all guaranteed

#

No clue tbh depends on if he wants to stay or not

#

Definitely going to extend klay

#

When they can

hollow wind
#

no question

celest zephyr
#

Im glad the cba is coming later. Even if its a higher yearly cap hit now, having a 5 year extension would be worse

#

Draymond only wants to play for 4 more years anyways so it doesn’t matter

#

It’s either 3+ his player option or 4

hollow wind
#

I really don't think Poole is worth that at all. I think he's trying too hard to come across as a potential main team option when he really isn't that. His place should be 12-15 points a game, become a somewhat efficient and reliable scorer, and play off ball for the main options/ballhandlers, but it seems like he wants to be that guy so badly that his shot selection and decision making is horrendous. It's hard to watch him play sometimes

celest zephyr
#

I agree

#

Which is why I’ve questioned his fit here

#

He’d be much better suited on a team likem the heat

#

Where they need the offensive output more

hollow wind
#

for sure

celest zephyr
#

And can live with the downs

#

Like the heat can win games without herro and oladipo even playing

#

Klay is the real difference. Without klay they’d have to keep Poole

#

Cuz then they’d only havew Steph and Wiggins who are the main scoring threats

hollow wind
#

Even tho wiggins isn't the absolute lights out shooter, he still to me is a more reliable scorer and much better defender than Poole. Poole wastes a good number of possessions each game that could have been critical

celest zephyr
#

Tbh he’s gotten better at that. I don’t love his decision making at times especially when he chucks a terrible heat check

#

But he’s been better at getting to the free throw line and passing

#

Lakers also are a brutal matchup for the warriors bench

hollow wind
#

Yeah I'm glad he's driving to the basket more it seems haha. But yeah, he'll make a good 3, and then next possession think he's feeling it and jack it up from 30+ feet

celest zephyr
#

For sure that’s what i hate the most about him by far

hollow wind
celest zephyr
#

Yeah cuz the lakers bench is a really good matchup for them

#

So much length and good forwards on there

#

Really hard to get good looks against them

#

Steph and ad going to get theirs so is bron. Really comes down to klay

#

If he’s hot the warriors are hard to guard. if he’s cold the warriors struggle

hollow wind
#

His catch and shoot ability especially off screens just kills us. But yeah, I do like our bench a lot. It's kind of a double edged sword tho because when we get hot... we get hoooooot. But we also can very easily go ice cold for half a courter and lose to a 15-2 run or something lol

celest zephyr
#

Hahahah i totally get it

#

I feel the same about the warriors

#

They chuck way too many 3’s for my liking now

#

And when they are in the lead it is brutal

#

That’s the one thing saving the warriors here. If the lakers had consistent 3 point shooters yeah it’d be over

#

Bron with shooters around him and ad is just nothing you can do about it with this team

hollow wind
#

That's what I want so badly man. We thought Malik Beasley was gonna be that for us but now he doesn't even play coz he's so bad

#

I just get scared when AD is off the floor

#

Even if he's not scoring all too much. His presence around the rim defensively can just completely halt opposing teams

#

Unfortunately our current opponent is the warriors lol

#

so they're far more of a perimeter threat than Memphis for example

#

Also we're barely even in the advantage in terms of rebounding atm, and Looney is on restricted minutes

#

We should be dominating the glass but we're not

robust grotto
celest zephyr
#

They are though they still rely on a lot of screens cuts pnr kick outs and stuff like that

#

Like their perimeter game is neutralized quite a bit if the rim is under lock

#

Kevon looney is a beast

#

I’m so happy to have him on the warriors

#

Yeah it comes down to ad isn’t as good of a rebounder as he should be

#

And the warriors guards are pretty decent at getting boards

versed forge
#

Top right

hollow wind
#

But yeah, Looney is honestly one of the best rebounders ever

#

Just based on this season alone

#

Stat wise he's up there with the greats

#

Also Lebron just kinda chooses which rebounds he wants to go for nowadays lmao. Half the time he just watches and hopes someone else grabs it, the other half he jumps right in there

celest zephyr
#

Yeah the warriors really stresses guys with their movement

#

Plus the amount of space klay and steph need to get open is insane

#

The warriors can run picks in such tiny windows

#

And their handoffs are so hard to guard with how fast they are

hollow wind
#

Lmao man aghhhh. Steph and Klay hitting super contested off balance 3's straight off the catch or dribble

#

They're too good 😭

#

I swear sometimes Klay ends up hitting harder shots more than easier ones lol

celest zephyr
#

I’ve seen it so much the quick handoff game right next to a defender

#

Hahaha it does feel like that sometimes

#

Gotta be maddening to see it right in front of your face and you can’t do anything about it

robust grotto
celest zephyr

Any one of them would be massive upgrade over their shitty logo

On an off day on Monday, Sheldon Keefe discussed the 3-0 series hole the team finds itself in, the level of surprise his team is in this situation, the performance of his core players through three games in the series, and his message to the team as it attempts to climb its way back into […]

celest zephyr
#

Ironically the closest guy is marner hahhahaha

#

Which is why they’ve tried to pinch him to the blue line at times

robust grotto
#

I hate seeing leafs fans dog on Marner but I get it bro

celest zephyr
#

It’s brutal cuz they absolutely need him on both ends and on pp and pk

#

Legit the leafs really need him to make anything work

robust grotto
#

He’s obviously your best all around player

#

Yeah facts, I believe that

celest zephyr
#

This team depends so much on him it’s insane

robust grotto
#

And the fact he fails every playoffs makes it that much harder for the team

celest zephyr
#

Yeah for sure

#

Cuz if he doesnt’ chip in everywhere they have nothing

#

Matthews nylander and Tavares can’t run the offense. Only Matthews can play defense

#

None of them really play many pk minutes

#

Really need to ship one of Tavares and nylander out

#

Both all offense, zeros on defense

#

Really can’t be having 18 plus mill into that

robust grotto
#

I can’t see anyone getting Tavares

celest zephyr
#

Then ship out nylander for sure

robust grotto
#

It’ll 10000% be Nylander. I wonder if Pittsburgh may be a spot for him

celest zephyr
#

Personally i really wanted them to not extend Reilly

robust grotto
#

Once I looked up his contract this morning I said “oh no”

#

Bro not that I dislike Zibanejad by any means

#

But he’s signed until 2030

#

2 0 3 0

celest zephyr
#

I was praying so hard that they’d actually get a legit #1 d man

#

And not gamble on Reilly

#

But nope they signed him for a massive longer term deal

#

And that’s really fucked them

#

Ain’t worth locking up anyone who isn’t that caliber for that long

#

8 years 60 mill

#

Fucking hell man

#

And nmc for the first 6 years, nmc + modified ntc for the last 2

#

Brutal brutal brutal contract

#

So if he isn’t willing to play ball they can’t move him until the end of the 2027-2028 season

#

Really wish they paid him more without a nmc

#

8 years 64 mill with no nmc would have been way way better

robust grotto
#

We ready have similar issues lol @celest zephyr

celest zephyr
#

Hahahhhahah I’ve always thought that

#

Such similar teams

#

Similar play style, similar vanishing of their best players

#

Something is up with both of them that just makes em fail

#

Yeahthat’ds why i like knies

#

Obv he ain’t close to bedard level but he can just do so much

#

And he’s already so strong and physical

robust grotto
#

We have Brennan Othmann who’s a similar to Knies

celest zephyr
#

So nice to have a guy in front of the net and can dish out the pain

robust grotto
#

Hopefully he makes the jump next season

celest zephyr
#

Hopefully yeh

#

Teams need a guy like him

#

Obv bedard is different

robust grotto
#

But NYR are notoriously an awful place for young players

celest zephyr
#

Not like Toronto is much better

robust grotto
#

We need to make sure we have the right coach first man

#

Yeah

celest zephyr
#

I really think the current landscape is showing that teams in places without really harsh media are doing well

#

Colorado, Tampa Florida

#

Sure there’s expectations but the leafs and rangers could be trash and they’d still get hated and overhyped inthe same day

#

For sure

#

Leafs right up there also. Keene ain’t going to be back

#

I don’t need to see how this ends to know that

#

Idk even know who i want as a coach

#

A lot of the good long terms ones are already with their team

#

And the retreads don’t look appealing

robust grotto
#

I genuinely don’t know what’s next for you guys

celest zephyr
#

I do

#

They’ll make Keefe and dubas scapegoats

#

Get some retreads at gm and hc

#

Claim that they’ve won elsewhere and they can do something and run it back

#

Then say well we tried after another embarrassing playoff exit

robust grotto
#

I’m not sold on Dubas personally but other owners will def be in for him

Oilers playing tonight babyyy

dim kettle
#

That's quite the holding matter

celest zephyr
#

And the bills will lose and boycott the result

rustic mountain
#

And it's this kind of shit that tells me these dudes don't have accountability and don't care to win tbh

#

"Sometimes it goes in, sometimes it doesn't." Fuck you Auston

celest zephyr
#

First of all ain’t you on sabbatical?

#

Hypocrite a

#

And also the last thing you want to do when you are down big is to punch yourself

#

That ain’t going to help

#

Gotta go one day at a time and try to win

#

Thé moment you get frustrated and beat yourself up is the moment you lose

#

You want to quit while you are down? Then why bother showing up

rustic mountain
#

I didn't say beat yourself up

#

I said accountability

celest zephyr
#

What are they supposed to say? Yeah we are playing like shit?

rustic mountain
#

I'll give you an example

#

Nico of the Jersey Devils

celest zephyr
#

Also do you even know what they were asked?

rustic mountain
celest zephyr
#

Yeah but what was the question?

rustic mountain
#

If you wanna defend them, you can but I see no want in any of the answers

celest zephyr
#

Like just giving their responses means nothing if i have no idea what they are responding to

rustic mountain
#

This is all Ive seen from any of the leafs

#

There hasn't been any kinda response to any question that is worth anything

#

If I had something else to give you I would

#

But all I can find from post game interviews is this

celest zephyr
#

Tavares with the ultimate pr answer

#

Yeah definitely din’t love whatever the fuck matthews is saying

rustic mountain
#

My point being it feels like we give more of a shit than them

celest zephyr
#

Sometimes it goes in sometimes itndoesn’t.MF you get paid to make it got in

rustic mountain
#

And that feels kinda shitty

celest zephyr
#

Hey aren’t you supposed to be an oilers fan?

rustic mountain
#

I am a temp

#

Just for the rest of these playoffs

celest zephyr
#

Idk man i think youn shoudl just stick with it

rustic mountain
#

Already said I am not stopping being a leafs fan

celest zephyr
#

And ditch the leafs

#

You got just one year man

#

I got like 5 and 6 playoffs

#

I’m in too deep to quit

#

Like i said i either go down with them or jump off and become a neutral

#

I ain’t even being a temp fan of anyone else

rustic mountain
#

Nah. I am not gonna stop being their fan. I definitely might stop watching as often

#

But I am not stopping being their fan

celest zephyr
#

I’m telling you as a guy who’s suffered through the leafs. You should get out while you still can

rustic mountain
#

How about this

#

We just see what happens

celest zephyr
#

I am lol

#

Win or loss I’ll be ready to suffer come October

rustic mountain
#

I dont like the idea of giving up on a team and tbh I've only ever given up on one and that wasnt even winning related

celest zephyr
#

Your choice man

rustic mountain
#

Red Sox can burn in hell for that Cora shit

celest zephyr
#

I wouldn’t recommend it though

#

I was born and raised in Toronto ca

#

Can’t back out of their sports man

#

After starting to be a fan

rustic mountain
#

It's sounding more and more like you don't want me to be part of it lol

celest zephyr
#

No

#

I’m merely stating that being a leafs fan has been nothing but pain and suffering

#

And as a leafs fan its not a fun time

#

If youn want to, go right ahead man

rustic mountain
#

Hm

Hope it works out

celest zephyr

It won’t

Donovan smith isa notorious holder

versed forge
#

Just gotta let veach cook

celest zephyr
#

And that’s the last thing you want in an o lineman

#

Gotta teach him to not hold and commit penalties

#

Yeahb he shoudl have learned that in college

rustic ore
#

That can be neutralized for the most part if Mahomes gets the ball out quick

#

As evidenced in the SB that isn’t a problem, but if he tries to improvise out of the pocket like he has been known to it will be one an issue

celest zephyr
#

It can but i mean more of i don’t think it’ll help em

#

At the very best it doesn’t hurt them much

#

Which is a massive waste of money

rustic ore
#

Tbf his contract said 1 year for “up to” 9 mil

#

So it’s not even 9 mil base

celest zephyr
#

Paying him any money is a mistake

rustic ore
#

Fair

#

Am curious what proves to be the bigger mistake, paying Donovan Smith at all to start for you or massively over paying Taylor cause you didn’t want to massively overpay Orlando Brown
