  1. At some point you can’t just say ‘the probability says to go for it’ when conventional game theory stops applying. Perhaps the fact that we’ve been very poor at short yardage situations for five years should start to factor in? Perhaps the psychological benefit of seeing points on the board should be factored in? Or that we have an elite defense that doesn’t need the offense to score a ton of points? I recognize there are counters to this argument, but we’re not simulating a football game we’re playing one. There comes a point where you can’t say ‘the decision was the right one, the play call was the problem’ when it has happened dozens of times. There is clearly a fundamental problem that changes the probabilities.
  2. It doesn’t concern you that we appear condemned to always be close to the mountaintop but never reach it? Don’t get me wrong, I’m not gonna disdain a 10-2 season after a decade of mediocrity but at some point it would be nice to have the conviction that we might actually win it all.
  3. Until proven otherwise I am just going to assume that we will lose to the teams with the same talent level as us.
  4. Our ceiling is limited by Sark. If he isn’t going to figure out how to score in the red zone or learn to take the points in year five, he probably isn’t going to. Because of this our ceiling is losing to the best teams on the schedule. What is quite worrying is how our QBs simply don’t improve in their footwork and mechanics year over year. Ewers was the same inefficient and inconsistent thrower in year 3 as in year 1 and Arch looks like has regressed in that matter thus far.
  5. Someone needs to explain the Arighetti hype to me. All he ever seems to do is get shelled.
  6. He’s always made stupid faces
  7. I don’t disagree with anyone upset about the noaa cuts, but haven’t we learned that despite that the forecasts and warnings were made, they were just not heeded? This seems like more of a local government failure at this point. Not that I even feel like assigning blame at this point, a very tragic situation with a very small margin of error for making decisions. I know that people could’ve done better and they will have to live with that. I just hope lessons are learned and that those affected can find peace and comfort. I know the former might be too much to ask for.
  8. Best professor I had by a mile. Going to his lectures was like going to a performance.
  9. What is already becoming manifest is that AI dev tools like Cursor or Copilot are very useful in the hands of already senior engineers, who know when to call it on its BS. In my org, the senior devs who are using it basically have an incredibly fast junior dev at their disposal to help them get stuff done faster, which is all well and good. But when the human junior dev uses it in the same way, they implicitly trust the output from the AI junior dev and thus there are no guardrails preventing the blind from leading the blind. We just had a junior on my team send up code for review that while (thankfully) not completely wrong was done in such an over-engineered and complicated way that if it were to have been approved it would've been completely out of line with the best practices and general framework of our codebase. Do this enough times and best case scenario you have a terribly unwieldy, spaghetti codebase and at worst a ton of bugs making it to production.
  10. funny you say that https://www.theregister.com/2025/06/29/ai_agents_fail_a_lot/
  11. I'm guessing yours was a war of attrition
  12. Driftwood says 'come to Butthead'
  13. What makes you confident that Harrison was getting out of that? He had clearly reached his limit imo. At most he finishes that inning so I don’t know how it changes the bullpen usage much.
  14. Well that was not a fun one to attend. Long as shit with mouthy UTSA fans. I couldn’t believe Schloss left Harrison in so long it was so painfully obvious he was done. At least 4 batters too long. Then he yanked Grubbs too early. Burns was throwing unhittable fastballs than serves up meatball sliders…not even to mention all the pathetic approaches at the plate and fielding. Amateur hour from the 4th inning on.
  15. Then by definition they aren't self-sacks
  16. You didn't answer the question. To answer yours, no. And nobody would say so...what is your point?
  17. what about if a QB runs around for 10 seconds and instead of throwing it out of bounds is sacked and loses 10 yards? What would you call that? Because that was the ding on both Cam Ward and Shedeur Sanders.
  18. Found the only retard not in favor of the pitch clock
  19. Derka is gonna rub y’all’s noses in it lol
  20. you have to have a certain type of fever to enjoy the ladies there
  21. damn, did they take his headshot after he had to put his dog down or something?
  22. not a great sign if this is the highlight the NFL decided to post https://x.com/NFL/status/1904625743856050493
  23. 4.35 for Bond
  24. the good news at least is it seems to be mostly without much ability to effect change https://news.bloomberglaw.com/environment-and-energy/trumps-god-squad-mandate-to-expedite-logging-is-legally-murky
