Yo @rustic ore
This is an example of what our pick em's will look like for the week
rustic mountain
I am thinking up some rules to give everyone
I think basic stuff like
All picks gotta be in before a certain day
etc
rustic ore
Perfectly fair
rustic mountain
I am debating on making it all picks need to be on Wednesdays
So you pick the Thursday and all weekend games
rustic ore
That's fair cause of TNF
rustic mountain
At the end of the week, we will have a weekly winner
rustic mountain
I think what I will do is post the pick ems for that week and put like in bold that like say Fate won the week
and then pin it
honest umbra
a lot of shiz happens between THU-SAT that changes things
rustic ore
thursday is a bit early in the week though
Be nice if the NFL realized that 
honest umbra
i think predicting for TNF and then saturday before SNF/MNF
rustic ore
I don't have a bone to pick so I'm fine with majority opinion
rustic mountain
@haughty moss @smoky fable @dim kettle @hollow wind @dim ledge @robust grotto All right boys here's the deal. We have two options for pick ems. Either: A. All picks need to be in by Wednesday before Thursday night football or B. The Thursday game must be picked on by Wednesday and then Saturday all picks for Sun/Mon games. Let me know what you think
Obviously I know your answers fate and buc
dim ledge
I am indifferent
haughty moss
B
smoky fable
Option B
dim ledge
Ill go w the flow
dim kettle
I'm fine with either but B is probably the best option.
hollow wind
B sounds good to me as well, but yeah fine with either one
rustic mountain
Majority is B
We go with B
It seems pretty set then. We will talk more on it as week 1 approaches. Trying to figure out an easy way fore everyone to submit their picks. Any suggestions?
honest umbra
easier for u to set it from google docs -> google sheets
as opposed to writing everything out
rustic mountain
I mean writing is going to have to happen one way or the other, just depends who is writing lol
Even if I use google sheets to create like a deal for people to just vote, I still have to write out all the matches, which is fine I don't mind
rustic mountain
Hmmm
I think for handing out the week by week schedule
I will just yoink it from the NFL website, tell everyone to tell me who they think will win in like one cohesive message
Then I will use that and update the spreadsheet
Lemme test it
okay then I should be able to just
Hmm actually wait
Okay yeah that's what we will do
I will snag it from ESPN then pin it
Woops
But anyway that should solve that

Why though? The best way for a young QB to learn is to play. If other jobs tell you the same thing. Why not football?
dim kettle
Those are not real NFL reps though. He needs to learn with day one starters and regular season play.
dim kettle
IDK in anyway why Dalton an better option rn. It's been proven time after time that sitting the young QB is fucking stupid. Did Herbert really needed to be benched? Did Mayfield need to be benched? Did Derek Carr need to be benched? No.
The Dolphins benched Tua for most of the season last year. And the Dolphins still don't have a clue what they got in him. Unlike the Chargers who started Herbert for all but one game and the Chargers have a better understanding of what they got.

idk its just flexibility
if he ain't ready then i don't think there's much point in pushing it

Jared Goff went like 0-7 after being handed the reins from Keenum in LA, just saying 
dim kettle
In the modern NFL. It's best when you're drafting a QB with a high draft to start them so you know if they're the guy moving forward. Did Rex Grossman really learn anything from sitting? Did Chris Simms really learn anything from sitting? Did Christian Ponder learning anything sitting?
robust grotto
also high draft picks = shit team
nah. I think that thinking is only big bc of Mahomes / Rodgers

The Chiefs insistence on benching Mahomes in 2017 was really stupid. They wasted a year of Patrick's rookie contract and probably do better in the playoffs with a QB with that type of talent.

Alex Smith had a good year though. His playoff stint was bad though, along with Reid’s decision making

Just saying. IDK about you guys but I'd rather be the Bengals or Chargers than the Dolphins rn. Dolphins get's a lot of praise for it's coaching and drafting or what not. That's good and all but at the end of the day if you don't have the QB it means nothing. We don't know what Tua is rn and even Miami doesn't know rn. You could think could suck you could think he could be great when they have more talent around him. The problem is, you're in year 2 and you don't know.
smoky fable

I wouldn’t be the Bengals. The roster pales in comparison to the other two. The Dolphins have the right coach and a better looking roster, particularly with their dbs on defense, but qb is a question mark.
celest zephyr
year 2 isn't that bad
smoky fable
Chargers seem to be alright, but they have a rookie head coach so who knows with that team. I also hope Derwin James stays healthy
celest zephyr
drew lock or daniel jones haven't really shown that much and they are still around
dim kettle
They're still around because they have no other options. The Broncos were rumored to be going after a Justin Fields before that draft and Dave Gettleman is just fucking stubborn. We already know what those 2 are.
Daniel Jones is another guy who started most games too.
And he could do a lot more than zombie Eli Manning could at that point.
In today's NFL. You can't afford to wait 4-5 years down the line to potentially find out. And it usually doesn't take that long to find out. You could point to a Josh Allen, "Yeah, he didn't really shine until year 3." But he got to that point because he got to play real games his rookie year. And even then he showed flashes from time to time.
robust grotto
the anti-Allen would be with the Jets. Darnold had his three seasons and they moved on, and you really can argue it was for the better, so really I get your argument 100%
I think we, as fans, have been conditioned into thinking that sitting a year isn’t detrimental. When in reality it can be awful for a lot of QBs. I disagree about knowing what Jones is though. After this season we will 100% know what Jones is
dim kettle
A lot of people know Jones is at best a Ryan Fitzpatrick type of QB. Could be a nice backup for a team and somewhat competent starter for 2-3 games before out stays his welcome.
And while I still believe Darnold could be good and he was just a victim of Crackhead Gase. I understood the Jets thinking of he's been here since 2018 and has regressed a lot since then. It's time to move on.
robust grotto
Prove it year for Jones
Exactly. Last chance, I have no issues with that. But I do want to give him that chance before just saying he’s a total bum

Not only Gase but he had Bowles his rookie year which was just as bad tbh
dim kettle
Bowles get's a lot of flack which is deserved. But those rosters the last 2 years were just flat out tanks. I remember him getting a lot of praise for getting that awful 2017 team at least 5 wins.
robust grotto
yup that’s why these convos are tough because there’s so many factors, in every facet
dim kettle
I still have concern with him though because he's might likely be the Bucs next HC. That he maybe too soft as a speaker to be a HC with egos.
rustic ore
Some flak is deserved for TB’s time in NY, but a lot can firmly be blamed on his incompetent GM and the Johnsons
robust grotto
He was a bad HC, honestly, but again that was here. Could be lot better in TB with a more stable environment
rustic ore
Licht has really picked it up lately with drafting, so long as he has a decent OC I think we could be fine for the immediate future after BA retires
dim kettle
Well that and hope to god that Kyle Trask becomes something better than Brad Johnson 2.0.
I feel like the Jets have a good future ahead. I like the Saleh hire and I believe they got the best QB in the draft rn.
Then again, I thought the same with Bowles 5 years ago.

if it works out well or is well received, it can be implemented
a lot of people werent big fans of the ASG new format 2 years ago and then the game happened
the battle for the last 2 points made everyone crazy
sudden death would be insane
you gotta be willing to evolve the game
celest zephyr
I don’t mean to be an oldhead
But that’s not basketball 💀🤝
i feel like doing that for summer league games or all star games is cool
honest umbra
what is basketball defined as?
honest umbra
nfl OT gives you 1 possession to either score/defend
till someone scores
both offense/defense is part of the NBA game as well
defend the shot or make the shot, sudden death
celest zephyr
Yeah I don’t like the idea of anything coming down to one play
That’s why i dislike single elimination playoffs so much tbh
honest umbra
thats why i love them
celest zephyr
Why?
celest zephyr
Yeah but it’s not even about who really plays better at that point
At that point it’s luck
honest umbra
not really
takes a lot of skill to win a game
im assuming you're talking MLB wild card game or NFL playoff games since theyre the only single elimination playoffs ik
celest zephyr
I’m personally thinking of that time AI took one game vs the Lakers
Like cmon now💀
honest umbra
thats different though, lakers/phil jackson played the series with the knowledge they could defend 3 games
you cant look at it in hindsight
but inversely, wouldnt the series have been better if it was 1 game and philly/AI had the chance to win it all?
honest umbra
i think so, fans would love it

honest umbra
im only talking it from a perspective of 2OT btw
celest zephyr
People who like basketball or like new fans
honest umbra
not one game series
honest umbra
i dont think that needs to change
celest zephyr
Double OT should change yeah
honest umbra
but i can understand why MLB and especially NFL does it. NFL cannot do more than 1 game, those mofos would get injured af and the playoffs would last like 20 weeks
celest zephyr
Yeah
honest umbra
if the series was even 3 games
celest zephyr
I do wish the NFL could have more games so we could see who is really the best. But the game is way too dangerous
honest umbra
sudden death once it starts getting into 2 OT is already so rare
happens what 10 times a year?
and they wouldnt do it in the playoffs
so i dont see the problem with it
its like the new MLB rule that in extra innings, theres an automatic base runner on 2nd for reg szn. post szn it goes away
i personally hate the rule, dodgers are 3-12 in those games but theres like way more excitement than it going to 18th inning
celest zephyr
I see
dim kettle
MLB is one of those sports who don't see the real problems and just throw gimmicks.

people have hella short attention spans now lol
dim kettle
Baseball has the same problem modern basketball has now. Lots of energy one moment. Lots of dead air the next. I think the game has gotten too heavy on the long ball 3 run hit homeruns.
Like basketball has relied too much on the 3 point shot. And lots of bricks.
honest umbra

but what u gonna do
people like the chutzpah more than the down moments

Be real though, the biggest reason you'd go after a CJ Mosley a few years ago and this year's signing of Lawson is because of your failure as an organization to draft well.
