Fun day in the Blog. 

The week after a loss is only slightly worse than a week after they win.  I am kind of looking forward to the Peyton & Eli broadcast of the game.

first off your argument of 18 touchdowns to seven interceptions is not average. That is nearly a 2.6:1 touchdown to interception ratio. That means you are finishing with 36 tds and 14 ints. That’s close to top 5 qb numbers. Touchdown wise that was tied for 5th most 

second your argument lacks variables. So what if player X is playing 4 the worst teams in the league the last 4 weeks down the stretch and putting up those numbers. meanwhile player y is playing two Sb contenders, playoff team with a much harder schedule and putting up similar numbers to player x. Then yeah I’m gonna give it a player y.

I am just telling you last year Russell Wilson was putting up numbers in the first eight games in a year where he was the lead dog for MVP.  Russ was cookin and everyone was talking about how he was going to win his first ever mvp. He still played well down the stretch and have as good numbers and he didn’t win the MVP because Aaron Rodgers played like an MVP from week one all the way to weeks 16 outside of a game or two

third want to talk about totality, basically in that Super Bowl game you just eliminated 2.5 quarters of play and then claim you look at the totality of the performance.  No you just ignored more than half the game cause you wanted to just put it on the ravens defense and ST like kaepernick wasn’t underwhelming for a 2 and a half quarters. The 2.5 quarters mattered in the outcome of the game. Like if the Eagles came out and played well for 40% of the game and the other 60% of the game they were underwhelming and not very good but they almost won would I say they played well enough to win? No cause for more than half the game they didn’t play well nor deserve it

My argument is I’m taking a 2.5 quarters he didn’t play well and the 1.5 he did play well saying it wasn’t good enough to win a sb. Defense or st aside, he was also part of the reason they were down 28-6

i’m done having this conversation. Have a good day. 

Ok cool, give me what meets your definition of average, and I'll adjust the numbers and reiterate the question with the new stats if that helps drive home the point.

Boy I sure hope they come to a resolution with this Gabby Petito case, soon.  I am tired of hearing my wife obsess over every little detail.  I kind of miss hearing about pumpkin spice this and boney bunch (yankee candle) stuff that.  It's amazing how much more of an expert than the FBI she has become.  

Just remind your wife that 50 ugly people go missing every day, and no one gives a sh!t.

No offense, i really don’t care. I gave you an example of where a scenario close to that happened last year with Rodgers, Wilson and even josh Allen as compared to wilson. 

Also your argument lacks variables. Like what if the player x plays the easiest schedule the second half of the year with all non-playoff teams meanwhile the other player y plays two Super Bowl contenders and three playoff teams and puts out similar numbers. Who do you think the better MVP at that point? The guy who did it against better competition with close numbers.  But it feels like you didn’t read that part of my argument

Well of course because it is easy being a Negadelphian. If a player sucks then you were right all along and if that player turns out to be great then it doesn't matter that you were wrong, because you end up winning in the end.

That is why so many people are like that - they can say all the crap they want and just never be wrong.

we knew Devonta was open,   and we knew Hurts is still a rookie. This just kind of shows you how Devonta could have had a much better day.

Ok let's try this...

 

Player X has 4,000 yds, 44 TDs, and 10 Ints

Player Y has 3,800 yds, 40 TDs, and 15 Ints

 

Similar levels of competition, let's even say they are from the same division.

But for the first 8 games, Player X had 1,700 yds, 14 TDs, and 7 Ints, then over the second half of the season he had 2,300 yds, 30 TDs and 3 Ints. 

Meanwhile Player Y was more consistent and played equally well in the first half of the season as the second half of the season. Who gets the MVP in your eyes?

Being a fan doesn't mean you have to be a cheerleader

@Mike31mt a badly under thrown ball.  He had to throw it 60 yards, didn't even get it 55.  If you are going to blame it on mechanics, then that tells you he lacks arm strengths.  NFL arm strength means you can make that throw on the move without a perfect base.

 

The footwork on this throw from Hurts is horrific.  Arm strength, smarm strength.  The footwork has to be better if Hurts wants to have a good career, as does his ability to read the field.

Why are we calling Hurts a rookie that doesn’t make any sense.

 

Off topic, I cannot stand Ben Simmons anymore and can’t wait til he’s off this team

Sure but you also don't have to human representation of Eeyore either.

Some of these 'fans' hate so many things about this team that it makes no sense on why they are a fan to begin with.

Again 2:1 td ratio is not average. You and i have a different perspective of average. You want average, 11 tds and 8 ints is about average. If he had those numbers for a half of season i would bet you he wouldn’t get that mvp if the other candidate was mvp level like for 16 weeks 

also again there’s about 20 variables your hypothetical doesn’t include— such as who has more talent around him, what were their initial expectations heading into the season, what is their team’s record  and i can continue to go on. 

here’s a scenario for you 

player X has 4400 yards 42 tds and 10 ints but was 11 tds and 7 ints for the first 9 games

Player y has 4400 42 tds and 10 ints but consistent all season

who do you think they are giving it too? And if you don’t say player y it goes right back to my whole Colin Kaepernick point that you just dismiss 2 1/2 quarters and focus only on the one and a half quarter. And then tell me I only focus on the first 2.5 quarters. I say the first 2.5 quarters he was poor and the last 1.5 Quarters he was good. so if I combine his poor 2.5 quarters and his 1.5 good quarters then overall he was average which doesn’t mean it was good enough to win a Super Bowl. They lost that game with him playing that way so obviously he wasn’t good enough (not all on him but he was part of the reason which you seem to make it he has no blame)

Like the Jack Anderson signing. Was a fan of him in the draft.

So far this season through 2 games (the data is still skewed some) the total targets in the pass game are:

DeVonta Smith -- 15

Jalen Reagor -- 11

Miles Sanders -- 7

Dallas Goedert -- 7

Kenneth Gainwell -- 6

Quez Watkins -- 5

Zach Ertz -- 4

 

In of itself that doesn't look like a bad distribution; I'd have been inclined before the season to swap Goedert and Reagor as to who is the #2 and #3 target.

If this trend continues, what happens at TE going forward -- does Goedert get tagged for a year?  Is there any way Ertz earns even a one-year extension?

woo - a little too positive for today.  A better response would be I guess they must think Dickerson is a bust or Brandon Brooks' must be really hurt for them to sign this guy.  

I don't think I'm more of a fan because I have issues with certain players/aspects of the team. I also don't think people are worse fans for having a different opinion. 

It's really not that serious or complicated.

The one to devonte was under thrown when he had a step on his guy. Brian Westbrook was most frustrated with that one because he said all he had to do was set his feet and he would of been able.to.get enough on it because he had a clean pocket. Instead Hurts ran around in the pocket then heaved it unbalanced with no defenders around him. 

I still believe all of his major issues could be correctable. I also don’t like any of the QB’s in the 2022 class, although the guy from Nevada is intriguing.

Ahhhh....yes.  I was hoping for a bottom feeder to come up with this line.  Allow me.

 

 

I HATE THE DIRECTION AND THE TRACK THAT THIS TEAM HAS BEEN ON FOR THE LAST 4 YEARS.  Until the leadership sees what is really wrong, then our ascent back up the mountain will be prolonged.  I love the team.  Hate the front office and it's principals.  JFC.  How dense and juvenile would someone have to be, to not understand that?  

Congratulations on finding the bottom feeder!

Unfortunately my brain is too small and dense to comprehend such a novel concept as hate watching something you supposedly love. Oh wait and juvenile as well! I almost forgot about that zinger.

I heard on the radio that Reagor had significantly more snaps than Watkins.  

 

Yeah, Lowie isn't meddling....😉

I think Caplan reported that Watkins was a more limited route runner so that's why he wasn't getting more snaps.  I don't know how true that is but that's the only explanation I have seen that doesn't point to Lowie.
