  1. What stands out to me through the first two games is the progress he’s made on ball placement/accuracy and the timing of his throws. He’s always thrown a very catchable ball, which I’ve felt is an under appreciated asset. He has a ton of arm strength but he doesn’t throw lasers. His ability to throw a highly catchable ball, on time, and with accuracy is a beautiful thing to watch. He had several against Michigan that were inch perfect. The dot to Bond on the first drive, the TD pass to Golden, a crosser to Helm in the 2nd half, and the TD to Blue are just a few that stand out to me. Watching him carve up defenses the rest of the year is going to be fun to watch.
  2. Wynn’s up next?
  3. Fuckin A right.
  4. What position? You can absolutely set a depth chart and they work. But the depth chart includes sub-positions (third down RB, Rush ends, etc.) and that can cause some weird player usage if you don’t have them set up right.
  5. That 2nd half was complete shite. We were sloppy and generally disinterested until about the 88th minute. We let Palace boss the midfield and at times it almost felt like we were playing a man down. For all the money we’ve spent on the middle of pitch we look positively average there.
  6. You did this shit after multiple games last year. I think your go to excuse after enough people called you out was that you had too much to drink during the game. Are we going with that again or do you have a new one?
  7. And no Osimhen. I swear to god. I cannot fathom why this club cannot figure out the striker position to save their lives. It’s been one of our two most pressing needs for 4+ years running.
  8. Sure sounds like Sancho is trending to become a Blue. Loan with an obligation to buy. And thank god. We’re dangerously thing in wingers. 🙄 I really want to see us figure out this Osimhen deal. I’m just not very confident we will.
  9. They added the “Force home/away win” feature to mitigate that. You have to go to one of the two schedule menus (either for your team or for total CFB) and then scroll down to the matchup and hit X. A screen will pop over and give you the option to force a win for the home or away team.
  10. In the actual news department, we signed Joao Felix today. I have no idea how he fits with what we have, but I could say the same thing about 10 other guys on our 40+ member "first team". Presumably we did this in order to avoid losing Gallagher on a free after the season. https://weaintgotnohistory.sbnation.com/chelsea-fc-transfer-rumours-news/2024/8/19/24223710/chelsea-atletico-madrid-agree-joao-felix-transfer-reports I'm pretty non-plussed by this signing, which is about the same way I felt when we signed Cole Palmer. So, I look forward to eating crow when Joao ends up being our run away POTY.
  11. I guess the fact that the new season has kicked off and nobody has bothered to start a thread for it speaks volumes. I barely recognize this club anymore, and somehow I find myself really missing a Russian Oligarch with known ties to criminal organizations. He might be a pretty crappy human, but he sure knew how to build a respectable Football Club. At any rate, now we officially have a spot to express our frustrations as Todd Boehly and the Guggenheim Partners continue to dig a deeper hole for this club. If you have a problem with the thread title, see my first sentence. You have only yourself to blame.
  12. Which RB is listed first on the depth chart under 3DRB?

    Euro 2024

    All things being equal, I’d rather attend the Euro final over the Super Bowl any day. So yeah, I was in heaven. The fact that it counted as a “work trip” was the ultimate cherry on top.

    Can’t help you there. My tickets were covered by an official event sponsor.

    Euro 2024

    I had the opportunity to take in the final in person. It was truly a spectacle and the energy throughout the match was unlike any sporting event I’ve attended. England fans outnumbered Spains by a good 3 or 4 to ratio, but the Spanish section brought the energy all match long. When the final whistle sounded, the vibe from the English section was like someone had just died.
  16. SRF Wagyu. Best thing I’ve ever smoked, and I’ve smoked a ton.
  17. What a stupid fucking take. We have a first ballot HOF head coach that has won five titles, so we're sure as fuck not bringing in Chris Paul because we lack someone capable of teaching teams how to win. At this point I'm just happy at the thought of having someone that can model how to throw lob passes and run the god damn pick and roll at a reasonably high level.
  18. Y'all are tripping. Do you want the Spurs to get better or not? He's going to be a valuable add to the locker room and we' re gonna get way more out of him than he'll get out of us. He's gonnal be super helpful for Castle's long term development and understanding of the game at this level.
  19. It sounds like we’re getting a protected first in fucking 2031 and then there is a pick swap option for 2030. That’s pretty wild. I get having a long term lens but I don’t love that. I know this isn’t a deep draft but this doesn’t feel like the optimal outcome.
  20. I’m down. I like the commitment to D. That’s the right mindset to play for Pop.
  21. They gave Maresca a 5 year deal with an option for a 6th, which I find completely hilarious. I’m sure there are clauses that will let both sides exit early once we’re ready to run him off in 2026.
  22. Fuck. I’d say “unbelievable” but sadly this is very easy to believe. What a fucking beating it’s been following this club as of late.
  23. I picked up one of the higher proof RC16's and it was severely over oaked. I disliked the first pour but came back to it 2 weeks later to give it another shot. I couldn't even finish that pour, and I never pour whiskey down the drain. All I am saying is that YMMV on that one. Given the price point, I'd want much more of a sure thing.
