Penix with the most leisurely drop back there

No one open so second down

That’s a PI

100% to both of those

He underthrew Odunze there

#

I thought

#

Odunze was open

weak gull
#

Auto first at least

rustic ore
#

Yeah, put way too much air under it

smoky fable
#

Penix does not have that type of arm strength

#

Trick play

#

But no one open

rustic ore
#

I think he could've thrown more of a straight line throw to make that imo

Ryan Grubb impressed me so much as an OC

#

he and Deboer would be great offensive guys to pick their brains

#

3rd down and 10

rustic ore
#

More of an angle thing, if he tightens his motion a bit he'd be near unstoppable

smoky fable
#

Damn. Bama fans wish Grubb went to Saban instead of Rees

Texas probably pissed about the trick plays

Trick play was kinda wild

smoky fable
#

Worthy and Mitchell have only 12 yards on 2 catches

#

Thats crazy

torn gale
#

Ngl I expected him to muff the punt

weak gull

Washington been 2 high all game. Keeping worthy best attribute out the pic

smoky fable

#

I’ve seen so many of those today

#

And not a single one called

#

Or maybe one

#

Even in the michigan game

#

Pretty sure in one of these games the qb got a late hit on a slide

#

And I remember McCarthy getting thrown out of bounds

Sacked by trice

#

Baxter hurt

rustic ore

Not good

Hope it's just a cramp

Ewers to worthy

#

There’s something

#

Finally something

rustic ore
#

That was a nice ball

smoky fable
#

Tight end better not fumble that ball

#

Held my breath there

#

Ewers off there

#

Worthy was open

rustic ore
#

Oof

smoky fable
#

Wow

#

Nice play by the running back

#

He broke those tackles

#

The defender whiffed

#

Touchdown Texas

Mitchell says hello

It’s become a game again

Holy shit

What a dime

smoky fable
#

Score a touchdown to end this game

#

Even if they kick a field goal they’ll still be up 9

#

Field goal basically clinched this

rustic ore
#

Penix with over 400 yards passing so far, just teabagging the Texas defense

smoky fable
#

Just straight run plays

#

But forces them to burn time outs

restive vector
#

Texas is done

weak gull
#

I would have let them score. Time is your bigger enemy here

smoky fable
#

Those turnovers sunk them

weak gull
#

The FG is pretty much in the pocket inside the 20. Conserving time is the better bet to get two possessions

smoky fable
#

That sack might have been smarter to take

#

Because it stops the clock

#

Know the yardage matters

#

But hmm

#

Makes it

#

37-28

rustic ore
#

Should be the dagger

restive vector
#

Yup

#

Thank god Bo Nix isnt on the other sideline

Dude scores in seconds

smoky fable
#

I never would have imagined the Michigan UW matchup would actually happen

#

Crazy

rustic mountain
#

Shh

#

Not until 0:00

weak gull
#

They save a minute 20 just letting em score though and you still need 2 possessions

smoky fable
#

Onside kick is a low percentage shot so it’s basically a miracle at that point

rustic ore
#

Washington D can just pin their ears back and rush, nothing over the top

weak gull
smoky fable
#

Kicker has squib kicked a few times

weak gull
#

I swear some madden players run through game scenarios better than most coaches

smoky fable
#

That stress makes people loopy

rustic ore
weak gull
#

It definitely does. But a lot of teams have analytics guys now to advise the HC

letting them score although it seems unorthodox is the better route here by far looking at analytics

smoky fable
#

Would be smarter to just kick the field goal this drive

#

Big catch by Sanders

#

That’s going against Washington

#

Sanders banged up

#

That’s not good

#

On his knees banging his hand

Ow, his knee hit the ground hard

It’s basically their only shot

Nice play by the Washington D to get that deflection on 3rd down

weak gull
versed forge
#

31-37 👀

weak gull
#

Texas would have needed a TD but letting the score gets them still at 2 minutes. Way better shot than onside

smoky fable
#

Not sure they’d get that

#

And the Washington player might purposefully fall short of the endzone if they’re coached to do so

rustic ore

Can you imagine Washington muffs this recovery? G5Laugh

Interesting interview

sweet tree
#

lol this is funny since I bring this up often to one of my friends on how it's always stayed the same size for so long. It would probably increase the numbers of goals but I doubt it would be a huge difference. But yeah I guess players would attempt more from distance if the net was slightly bigger, I'd rather see that than ball retention.

lowscoring games aren't fun tho

mental elk

I've been watching for 14 years

I still love the sport

I think change can be a good thing, if it helps leagues see more scoring than I think that's more fun. Goals are what excites people at the end of the day, the sport is an entertainment and you're there to watch teams score. Yeah dribbles and passes are nice too, I love that as well. I guess if you like saves and defensive stops you'll still get that as well.

#

More goals is a good thing

sweet tree
#

I imagine shots that would hit the bar/post or go slightly wide would end up being goals if the net was slightly bigger. which would probably be a low volume tbh, hard to say how much would actually increase tbh

# sweet tree lowscoring games aren't fun tho

But that’s not due to the size of the goal. It’ll just make the big goals game have way more goals and keep the 1-0 games the same. Also I love seeing good defensive displays

sweet tree

I'd say the size of the pitch and number of players on the pitch is a bigger factor

sweet tree
short flame
# sweet tree I think change can be a good thing, if it helps leagues see more scoring than I ...

What’s fun about the game is that there’s games for everyone. Too many goals and the goals themselves lose their value. Like I love watching hockey but a goal seems uneventful while in football every goal seems magical. And personally I prefer a good defensive game with players putting their bodies on the line to keep a result. Time wasting is bad, keeping a low block and getting a result is brilliant. I think nowadays the style of the game has really been either low blocks which I know a lot of people hate or high blocks with very organized almost robotic style of play. I think you need to have style changes and managers not being afraid to try new things and let players dribble more rather than trying to change the game. Other than time wasting I don’t think you should change other things. I guess the offside rule as well

But then you’d have to have the technology to start and stop the game precisely and knowing how the world works they’d try to shove us adds while the clock is stopped. It’s an interesting idea in theory but you’d have to think about implementing it. But if they do use a stop clock I’d like them to allow changes during those stop, with more fresh players you’d get a more intense game

nah that's fair

stop clock is probably something I could see happening, I mean fifa were supposed to add it I believe in the 2022 world cup but instead opted out and went for those ridiculous extra added time to recoup the time wasted lol.

The technology is used in the Champions League and Serie A, as well as at most recent men’s and women’s World Cups. It will also be included at December’s Club World Cup...

#

I guess we could see it next season, but yeah I guess it's not confirmed.

#

I think Prem league will be the last one to use it

#

they always late

#

Serie A has it I think

lyric rune
#

yeah

#

I think one of the team got a really bad call bef

#

which is why the Italian league implemented it after that

@robust grotto how do you feel about this rule?

Therefore it didnt make it onto the voting thing that all the clubs take part in over the summer

lyric rune
#

Dunno why they voted against it

#

bloody cunts

What if managers had like a monitor in their stands that overlooks the game like it's broadcasted but purely the pitch camera

It's just getting worse instead of better

takes like 2 minutes to draw the lines

whereas it would've been instantaneous with semi automated offsides

mental elk
#

blame the execs of the clubs then

sweet tree
#

the angles can be odd at times

#

I'm glad La Liga will have it next season

#

seems to be a success with UCL and Serie A, I was always in favor of it.

mental elk
#

sadly, even with the semi automated offside being implemented
we're still going to be stuck with Michael Oliver and Anthony Taylor

sweet tree
#

this is why change can be good at times

hasty basin
#

Also make it so you can check for 2nd yellow on VAR

#

Lol

mental elk
#

all the good tech in the world cant save us from the quality of FA Refs

sweet tree
hasty basin
#

?

mental elk
#

they dont

sweet tree
#

or maybe that's for direct red 🤔

hasty basin
#

Nah they don't

#

Only red

sweet tree
#

yeah you right

hasty basin
#

I've seen some bs sending offs on 2nd yellows so it'd be helpful

mental elk
#

They can check for a yellow to overturn into a red
They cannot check for a yellow that directly leads to a red

hasty basin
#

And it's not like it's wasting time

Making as many saves as you can is trying to keep a cleansheet

son is outperforming his XG

By a lot yeah

short flame
sweet tree
#

he literally outperformed it every season

hasty basin
#

Tbf you should outperform it

#

Normally

sweet tree
#

you should to some extent

hasty basin
#

But if it's by a lot then it shows how good you are

sweet tree
#

but he had gaps

#

yeah

#

it's some freaky ass stat

hasty basin
#

I wonder who had the biggest gap

sweet tree
hasty basin
#

Damn

#

Expected everyone but Bernardo

#

But I guess it's because the goal amount is low

#

2 west ham tho KataOmegaLUL

#

DCL? actually didn't expect that

sweet tree
#

yeah that's wild

#

shit I remember when he had that 1 season Wonder

hasty basin
#

No one even says he's had a bad season

#

He's a generally good striker

sweet tree
#

prem bullying small clubs

#

they'll be there no matter what

hasty basin
#

Heh "small"

#

But yeah lol

sweet tree
#

true

#

more ucls than most teams

hasty basin
#

I hope we won't get killed soon

mental elk
#

right...?

hasty basin
#

Equal? 😭

mental elk
#

just mean that City get equal swiftness

#

they better actually punish them properly

hasty basin
#

They will get a punishment that they can't spend more than 1 billion in the next tw

#

Like the only real explanation would be they're shithousing the wages somehow but even then

#

I don't think they are it's just FA being ignorant

sweet tree
#

Brighton been much better

#

no goals to show for it tho

#

3 BCMs

#

damn boos at the end

#

Areola Motm

#

and 90 mins I won't get back

short flame
mental elk
#

I dont trust them either

short flame
celest zephyr
#

Just remove them for a season then

#

Like they still keep the wins for their own counting stats but they auto place like 17th

#

Basically like what f1 did in 2007 when McLaren got removed from the constructors standings for cheating

mental elk
#

if the prem finds them guilty of all 117 they could face expulsion

#

It would certainly call into the legimatacy of their titles, if they achieved those with fudged books

celest zephyr
#

Just strip them of every title they won during that span then

calm mulch
celest zephyr
#

Plus even if it did some other league would eventually not give a fuck and add them in

mental elk
sweet tree
#

that travel distance is crazy

calm mulch
#

punishment like this unheard in sports

#

because they very much like money

sweet tree
#

don't think anything will happen to them

#

maybe they start off a season with points deducted

#

but expulsion nah lol

calm mulch
#

i don't think they will get convicted in a single one

#

in none of the counts

sweet tree
#

people tune in to watch city, they make the prem revenue like the other big clubs do.

#

prem would lose money if city wasn't in the league

calm mulch
sweet tree
#

yeah it ain't happening

calm mulch
#

the prem league is insanely profitable, i think it has the best TV deals in the world

sweet tree
#

well the best in footy yeah

calm mulch
#

it's number one in everything, no way they are punishing one of the teams with the most pull

#

now do i want them punished ? of course

#

but the reality is that they keep going like nothing ever happens as usual

#

the team might face bigger punishments for playing bad than it does in the tax department

calm mulch
celest zephyr
#

The prem makes so much cash and they have other teams with pull

#

Whereas if they were broke they’d need the cash so much they wouldn’t have a choice

#

Plus removing for me just means dropping them from the standings

hasty mesa
celest zephyr
#

Like they can still play all their games and make boatloads of cash

#

Tbh even if they couldn’t play for a year the prem would be fine

Brock Bowers officially declares

rustic ore
#

Should be a top 10 pick

#

Hope he lands with a good team, dude can be dynamic out the gate in the right situation

#

If Ben Johnson does end up leaving for the LAC job then given the work he's done this year with LaPorta and the Chargers need for a good TE that could be an easy choice for them

calm mulch
#

imagine if we lived in this timeline instead

#

would his career be worse if he was in the Hawks ?

#

Do you know what I imagine?

#

If somehow someway, this guy was picked way earlier than 24th overall

By literally any other team that had an opportunity to draft him

Like don't get me wrong, Lamar is having a solid season. But 29 total TDs vs 13 turnovers against what CMC has done this year? Like it's not even a question to me CMC should be MVP this year

hasty mesa
#

Yeah atp I prefer CMC over all candidates except Purdy but I think public perception doesn’t want him at MVP anymore

smoky fable
#

I feel the COTY award has more intrigue than MVP

#

You can give it to a lot of candidates

#

Stefanski, Ryans, Campbell, Steichen.

#

That’s four right there

rustic ore
#

Stefanski having to go through 4 QBs, Campbell getting Detroit their first NFCN title every, Steichen having Indy nearly in the playoffs despite losing his stud rookie QB early in the year

sweet tree
rustic ore
#

Technically he is but I don't see anyone making a serious case that he'll win MVP

#

And he shouldn't at that

#

They've been garbage on the road all year, they only won their last game because of the refs

smoky fable
#

Brad Allen

rustic ore
#

Dude needs to be fired

#

I think it got reported earlier that he and most if not all of the crew from that game aren't gonna be used during the playoffs

dim ledge
#

but yeah buc i agree

#

it should be cmc

#

just been the man in every game

#

and in his two (2) games that he doesnt have touchdowns he still went off. lmfao

If rams lose and packers win do rams move to 7th

Because they'd finish with the same record and GB already beat LAR earlier this season

So they'd get the H2H tiebreaker

Damn rams gotta finish it strong then

Taliese Fuaga is a mauler so I like him a good bit.

I like Alt a lot if they take a tackle that high more than Fashanu.

@dim ledge So out of curiosity I've been checking out some Eagles fan pages, dude the amount of people bitching and wanting Sirianni fired is unreal

#

Like holy shit, dude has had a winning record and gotten that team to the playoffs 3 years in a row and they want his head for not having them as the SB favorite or something

#

Like there is spoiled as a fan base and then there's that

#

No hate towards you weewaa, you're actually sane

dim ledge

Yeah Sirianni does not deserve that

LOL thanks @rustic ore

dim ledge
#

You yourself know how much I hate reactionaries and that fanbase may have the highest concentration of them cross NFL

rustic ore
#

It's honestly wild

#

Like imo they're building there team up smartly, trenches first and then outside later

#

Takes time for youth to get up to pro speed

#

And obviously their secondary being old as hell and them neglecting coverage LBs is hurting them for sure

#

But FFS building a good team/program takes literal years, take some chill pills and let the dude do his job

dim ledge
#

Actually. Idk

#

Is it cowboys or eagles who are more reactionary

rustic ore
#

For sure Eagles imo

#

I’m more concerned that AJ Brown is being a diva and causing locker room drama

#

Oh eagles 100000%

Brown is a little bit of a headcase sometimes

I don't know if that's necessarily being a diva or having legit frustration at offensive philosophy

My worst case scenario is already playing itself out, Bowles I'm about 99% sure is coming back next season as our HC, Baker more than likely is gonna get a multi year extension

#

Gonna be a shit middle or slightly lower than middle of the round draft pick, and then I patiently hold my breath to see who my team lets walk in FA and who gets extended

#

My heart is actually gonna break if we let Mike Evans leave Crydo

#

Would hurt even worse if we give Devin White an extension of any kind

#

Next year gonna be brutal for my guys as well, just a question of how brutal

#

Going up against the NFCE and the AFCW

Of course the Niners play the Jets

And it's in fucking San Fran
