u/capemaygirl1999 28d ago
eagles offense and defense is bad lol. bears looked great last night and deserved the win.

u/California_Stop_King 28d ago
Bears defense is still reliant on splash plays. Carolina torched them through the air and Minnesota ran pretty well in a game that was basically entirely obvious running situations given the weather. Bears defense is better than last year, but the Eagles are just en extremely poor outfit on both sides of the ball. They could easily be 0-3

u/justicebiever 28d ago
Bears D has a couple very solid players. Dennis Allen was also on one. But that Eagles team barely got through Cam Ward, they just kinda suck.
-2
u/Signal_Ball4634 28d ago
If the Eagles keep this up Sirianni is a goner. Unlike last year their defense doesn't appear to be good enough to carry games, and the offense is still not getting anywhere as the OL regresses and Hurts loses his mojo.

Less about the one game and more that their performance through 3 weeks is pretty lackluster. Washington and Tennessee aren't world beaters and gave them very tough games too.

u/on-the-cheeseburgers 28d ago
i'm not going to speculate on what will or what won't happen but in 2024 the eagles were sitting at 2-2 and had just gotten their asses kicked by the bucs before only losing one game the rest of the way en route to winning the super bowl. slow start isn't always doom.
2
u/Signal_Ball4634 28d ago
Yeah fair. I hope for the best cause I love Hurts but I just really am not impressed with the early returns. I think that OL is not going to get any better even if the rest of the team does
4
u/RukiMotomiya 28d ago
Last year's Seahawks started the year 3-2 with a 3 point victory against the Cardinals being all that kept them above a losing record, for example.
Early records aren't meaningless but 3 games says much less about Sirianni than the previous 5 years, he will need to be bad for a while before he's gone.

I'm a big believer that young QBs should have a veteran backup who's played a lot of games, even if they aren't very good anymore. The experience and having been through game prep so many times before is helpful mentorship on a level a coach can't provide.
Like a rookie head coach hiring a failed former HC as one of his coordinators.

His scripted videos are very boiler plate and not really anything to write home about.

u/shawnaroo 28d ago
I think his fan bases/nfl scripted series videos are kinda played out and not really worth watching, but I tend to enjoy his more casual streams just talking football, as well as his power ranking videos. Nothing super in-depth, but still a decent mix of info and personality.

This is kinda disingenuous, a lot of college football fans don’t like it because it is clearly written with the television networks and media deals in mind, it doesn’t fix the issue of a coach bailing on a team and players being stuck in a system they don’t like or can’t succeed in, doesn’t address coaching pay or contract length, and there’s a segment of college football fans that think we are jumping to a solution while ignoring the parity of Indiana as national championships.

I've kept quiet all day about last night's game. Mostly cuz I was out at a strip club watching the game and couldnt hear what was happening. I was just in full send mode being a fan in the moment.
That said, after watching the final minutes back tonight with the sound on, whether you agree with the call or not the Rams took us to third down territory afterward and committed a hands to the face penalty that moved Denver closer to the end zone to allow Nix to run the ball in for the TD.
Like they still had a chance to stop us after the DPI penalty is what I'm saying. And I guess everyone is also conveniently forgetting the Rams had the ball last and Hufanga picked him off to end the game.
To me it looked like Wallace was pushing Bryant on the back. Which is why the ref signaled pushing when he threw the flag.
Did Bryant flop? Yes. He admitted to it (which I wish he didn't, he'll never get a DPI call again because of it.)
Anyhow. Rams weren't robbed. They choked away a 16 to zero lead. Thank you for coming to my Ted talk.

It's funny to me how so many "believers" don't realize that was one woke mf. What are they believing in, if they don't know that? Some fucking fantasy that completely rejects his life, words, and deeds.
2
u/HartleyReplogle 28d ago
For millions of "believers," it's ignorance that's reinforced by the belief system.
They are made to be afraid, either by poor or malicious teaching, of a God that repeatedly says "Do not be afraid." They are taught that doubt is NOT a normal part of faith but rather a sin. Unable to express doubt in a healthy way and be strengthened by a community of believers, they learn not to ask questions and to engage in groupthink, even when their fellow churchgoers follow the culture instead of Christ.
They demonstrate skepticism of secular knowledge because it calls into question the veracity of a literal Scripture, which they cling to because an allegorical or metaphorical interpretation of the text requires a depth of understanding and nuance that can lead back to doubt. But they cannot be convinced with Scripture, either, because they've been taught that even the devil can quote Scripture.
This is unfortunately what happens when the church aligns itself with empire, something it's been doing since 400-500 AD. Every once in a while, a splinter group emerges that rejects empire and tries to follow the teachings of Jesus, and the group is either violently suppressed or slowly dwindles away.

I mean, I'm an atheist and have quite a few issues with organized religion, but it's the free talk thread. If they want to post scripture, who cares. It's not even something controversial, like one of the anti-lgbtq quotes or anything hateful or vile.. It's actually one of the parts about god's love, and a good one for Christians to point to to argue that god wouldn't oppose love.
They ain't in here spamming shit or anything, and it's something they likely view as a nice gesture and not hurting anyone.

even last year with rivers coming back. these new qbs are much less cerebral and have less understanding of the game imo. there’s only so long you can get by on just talent
2
u/shawnaroo 28d ago
Especially because defenses have gotten so much more sophisticated over the past few years.
It took them a while to adjust to established guys like Rodgers, Brady, Brees, etc. just knowing exactly what the defense was trying to do and being able to carve them up. But we've started seeing defensive schemes doing so much to mix up coverages by moving guys around, not just before the snap, but right after the snap, to try to fool the QB as to what kind of coverage was actually happening.
I think the older guys who've played a bunch more football just feel more comfortable watching it all unfold and making decisions in the moment, while the younger quarterbacks are just being mentally overwhelmed.
It's got to be a really tough job.
2
u/RukiMotomiya 29d ago
Teams also just don't seem interested in actually developing a QB's mental side any more. So many schemes are "simplify it for the QB". If you don't use it, you're gonna lose it.
3
u/tuckernuts 29d ago
We've also seen a lot of young quarterbacks literally thrown to the wolves on day 1. Used to be a rarity to see a rookie QB starting week 1, now it's the norm.
2
u/AfroManHighGuy 29d ago
I think that’s exactly the big difference. Guys like cam ward, CJ stroud, etc who all have the physical attributes and athleticism. But they don’t have the cerebral knowledge like the older qbs do. It’s a lost thing with the newer generation of qbs coming into the league

KOC discourse brings up this topic:
There's a difference between developing a QB and maximizing a QB. I think this is so far true of KOC (a maximizer, not a developer) and it's not necessarily a bad thing. It's just that I think this is something you have to keep in mind when choosing your next QB.

Also to keep in mind is that most qb's can't be developed. The nfl is incredibly hard. Most guys cannot do it. Expecting someone to turn every piece of coal into diamonds is not realistic.

Even then I think to your point is that either you have it or you don't. You can develop traits or habits but for a starting QB you really have most of those things in you or you do not.

u/NoAnteater8836 29d ago
Of the hundreds of storylines that are about to come out of the unbeaten Chiefs vs the unbeaten Raiders, one I am looking the most forward to is how the Raiders treat Walker.
Kubiak comes from an old school line of thought coaches used to have called “self scouting”. You take an almost third person view of your own team to identify your weaknesses down to an individual level in order to anticipate how your opponent may try and exploit them.
Kubiak, theoretically, has an answer for Walker. You better believe the league will be paying attention to what he thinks that is.

I want to say it's a Chargers problem. Kellen Moore was OC there in 2023 and he runs a pretty easily adaptable system and they looked meh. Roman is a bad OC but Herbert was able to make something out of nothing there. And now we have a complex system under McDaniel and from what I can tell outside of the run game it's woeful.

Do you have an American Express card?
They usually have an offer available for $20/mo back on YouTube TV. You have to go on the website (or app) and manually add it to your card. It's still not cheap but it might be a bit more manageable.

u/slytherinprolly 29d ago
Who’s your cell provider? A lot of them bundle or discount streaming services, so that might knock the price down a bit.
Also, Dish Network is surprisingly loose about password sharing. My brother subscribes, and me and two of my siblings use his login pretty regularly, sometimes at the same time, without much trouble. Obviously your mileage may vary, but it might be worth checking before paying full price for something.

u/unloader86 29d ago
I think Sling still has the two plans. I know one is a bit cheaper than the other but you might need both to watch all that you want.
YouTube TV is probably the best service, but it's pretty expensive. They do have a sports only package for like $65 but I doubt that'll also give you FXX and CN.

Although I won't necessarily argue in favour of the Buccs blowing it up or anything, if the season is lost it may be a genuinely great opportunity to "reset" their cap situation a bit.
They're in the negatives for 2027 cap space and rollover won't really take them much over $0. They can create some more via trading rentals but I also think that it might be a good time to sell high on some of their bigger future cap hits.
I'm assuming the new HC will want to structure their team differently. Having lots of draft capital and space may be already necessary.

They paid baker and have a lot of young talent on the roster. I think a new coach will have basically the same roster build as it is now. They need a new voice in that locker room and new offensive scheme. Baker can’t play hero ball anymore and save them like when he first got to Tampa

Honestly, it sounds like he’s projecting some of his own insecurities onto you. And the annoying part is that I guarantee if you finally snapped and started making jokes about his weight, suddenly everyone would decide you’re the asshole because that’s a sensitive subject and “he’s trying his best.”
Meanwhile, you literally have a seizure disorder, something you have absolutely no control over, and somehow repeated jokes about that are supposed to be fine because it’s “dark humor” and you should just laugh it off. That’s a pretty ridiculous double standard.
You being able to joke about your own condition doesn’t give someone else unlimited permission to keep hammering away at it. If he expects basic consideration when it comes to his weight, he should be capable of extending the exact same courtesy to you.

It didn't end up making a difference in the end because the Saints gave the ball away to the Raiders about six trillion times in the 4th quarter, but the thing that annoyed me the most about that game yesterday was the refs calling a body weight RTP penalty when the Saints defender made a textbook tackle around Cousins' waist.
That's like the ideal tackling form at every level of football. I can understand the whole coming down with full body weight idea if you've got the QB up high and are driving his arms/head/shoulders into the ground (especially because the rule was put in place after Rodgers had his collarbone broken), but it's just a ridiculous call for a clean hit around the waist.
1
5
u/IsGoIdMoney 29d ago
The body weight rule is terribly officiated and should be eliminated because of that, imo. It's often not called when it happens, and it's very frequently called when the defender does everything they can to not put weight on the QB. If it could be trusted to be a correct call like 90% of the time I would accept it, but it's too devastating a penalty to be so inaccurate, especially when the safety aspect of it is so relatively minor.

I think the fact that Republican candidates all over are trying to subtly distance themselves from Trump’s decisions says that they are at least aware and afraid of the backlash they’re about to receive. If they were confident they were going to remain in power, they’d still be playing the part of party loyalists.

finished silent hill townfall, what I liked I really liked, the story, the atmosphere, the puzzles, i thought all of it was pretty awesome. i think it fundamentally struggles in its identity as a game though. fully admit that i could just be bad at the game but the story and message is built for stealth but feel like they just throw so many enemies at you that it feels near impossible to be stealthy.

u/SpiderGhost01 29d ago
I think it struggles in that it just doesn't quite have good enough monsters. There are basically two monsters, plus the main one that haunts you to the end. I think there needed to be more variety.
Plus, it never gets really crazy, the way the SH2 Remake does. You don't just get into an absolute nightmarish scenario like with Abstract Daddy.
I think it's a solid game, 7/10, possibly 8/10, it's just not quite up to par with where SH needs to be; especially as Resident Evil is pulling off games like RE:9, which is a step above Townfall.

Finished Kings of the Wyld by Nicholas Eames. This book has been on my TBR for a long time and I feel like I've seen it hyped up like crazy every time I'm looking for recommendations so it was nice to get through it. Overall I enjoyed it, but it didn't really live up to the hype. The humor felt like it was trying too hard, sometimes.

I try and fight against prisoner of the moment thoughts in the NFL. But I am over 40 and have been watching football for a very, very long time. And during that time I'm not sure I recall so many young Quarterbacks (27 and younger) who have struggled so much with year over year consistency.
These young guys just can't seem to stack years and seasons together. I hate to pick on one guy, but Drake Maye is the perfect example of this. He goes from excellent in 2025 to shockingly horrible in 2026. But there are so many other examples of this, to mostly lesser extremes, but still.
We could speculate as to why this is, but it's a trend I am keeping an eye on.

I think if you're close to 40 you've just been spoiled by the greatest generation of QBs of all time. 40 puts your "fandom prime" around 2000 to start, or at most a bit earlier.
That is the era with 4 of the greatest QBs of all time in their primes (Brady, Rodgers, Brees and P. Manning) and another HOF shoe in Roethlisberger.
When guys like prime Rivers and Matt Ryan are clearly outside your top 5 QBs you're spoiled

Maybe things are changing out there in American right-wing Christianity. Yesterday evening I posted this, killing time during what I had erroneously assumed would be a Rams cake walk:
Nothing speaks to the state of American Christianity in 2026 with greater clarity than a front-page article on Christianity Today about how "Christians Should Delete Social Media." which includes this quote:
Social media is bad for you. It’s bad for the world, for politics, for young people. In fact, it’s bad for everybody, at every level, and no platform is exempt: not Facebook, not X, not Instagram or TikTok or Bluesky. Nor is there some edifying version of social media in the offing. (I’m looking at you, Substack Notes.) In the end, they’re all different portals to the same cesspool.
And below that article, and indeed in every article on their website, there are links to their social media pages on X, Facebook, Instagram, Telegram, WhatsApp, and YouTube (One can imagine they avoided Bluesky for being too leftist and TikTok because.... maybe they don't like Roll for Sandwich, I dunno).
Later on, after the wild second half, I decided to spare a glance at the Christian Post as well, which was full of the usual bullshit. But something caught my eye about a woman complaining about how too many right-wingers want to repeal the 19th amendment, so I looked. She tore into TPUSA for platforming one of those ghouls, though that wasn't the focus, but the surprising part were the comments.
When I used to do the Conservative Roundup the comment section was just as you'd expect, but last night there were dozens and dozens of people ripping Trump and MAGA in general in what felt like a full-on revolt. There were a couple of apologists, but the rest of them absolutely overloaded the discussion. It's just one comment section, and trolling exists of course, but this felt different, I'm not sure.

Because while that's true, I don't think that's the standard the Texans should hold him to when a big money extension is on the table. I think the fear of letting a QB go is honestly too great these days, when we're in an NFL reality that proves that there's multiple avenues to offensive success.

White was signed to the active roster on November 16.

I had the day off work, so a buddy of mine came over to catch up and check out the Steam Machine and the Switch 2. I decided to show him a newer title on the Steam Machine, along with some indie games: 007 First Light, Tunic, Balatro, and How Many Dudes. Quick shoutout to IO Interactive because they did a great job with the tactical simulations in the game. My friend was able to pick it up and learn as he went relatively easily.
Then we got on the Switch 2, and I showed a few games: BOTW w/ the upgrade pack, Link's Awakening, and Mario Kart World. The highlight game was definitely Mario Kart for him. He had a lot of fun and I think a big reason why is because of how enjoyable it is playing a game with someone sitting right next to you, as opposed to just playing online with voice chat.
