  1. You play the schedule you get. Sayin didn't seem to have accuracy issues. That last toss to Wingo can't be on him. You're asking a WR who has created separation and has nothing but green field in front of him to anticipate that his QB is going to put it short and behind and throttle down? That's dumb. Arch straight up missed that throw, it wasn't even behind it was WAY behind him, and Wingo had to stop and contort his torso just to get a finger on it. If it was on target that was a first down minimum and potentially even an explosive play.
  2. Are you referring to the 1st one he threw into double coverage, or the 2nd one he threw that got intercepted?
  3. Mmmm gonna have to disagree with you on some of these. His pocket presence was OK and he didn't self-sack, which was good. But he did rush several throws and ended up airmailing or throwing them into the dirt. The long ball shot to Wingo was bad. It was forced into coverage, it was under thrown, and it was to the inside where the coverage had leverage instead of the boundary where at worst it would have been incomplete.
  4. You're maximizing QE's bad and minimizing his good. Yeah he had self sacks. He also was elite at hitting the short/intermediate throw on target, which was a key missing element today.
  5. Agree with this. But in the heat of the moment right now people are gonna say "that's aggy thinking"
  6. The last game we played the QB passed for 283 and 2TDs against the same team. That's a weird one to pick.
  7. It can be, and in this case was both the QB and the OC at fault. OC faults: Ongoing stubbornness in the red zone and on 4th down Not taking the points after getting stonewalled Poor game planning: minimal bootlegs, waggles, moving the pocket. Seemed to play to Arch's weakness vs. his strengths. Pre-snap penalties QB faults: Inaccuracy, even with minimal/no pressure in his face - I counted at least 4 throws just totally in the dirt and another 3-4 way over the head of the WR Forcing the throw to Wingo for the INT, coverage was there and throw was inside not to the boundary Missing wide open WRs to go to the higher risk option (first toss/fade in the end zone to Jaggerson)
  8. They don’t. But Manning didn’t just throw bad balls he threw uncatchable balls. Jerry Rice isn’t catching a ball in the dirt 5 feet in front of him, or a ball behind him as he’s running the opposite way in his route.
  9. Shit ass throw way behind him
  10. Runs and check downs. Sark doesn’t trust manning to throw against this D
  11. I feel you but let's reserve meteor for aggy vs. ou or bama v. georgia. This game isn't meteor worthy, it's more of a "I hope they run out of beer and everyone is sad" game
  12. That man on the street interview with the Irish was pretty funny. "What do you think is Kansas State's mascot?" "Probably... a tractor" I mean they're not wrong
  13. LOL I linked the UT coop page where they sell it
  14. There is flat-billed and then there is FLAT billed. For example, some might consider these Nike Texas baseball hats flat billed: ...which they are as compared to a traditional "dad hat" like this: ...but not to a super FLAT billed hat like this: you could press that up to a mirror and not bend the brim.
  15. I'm trying to imagine the persona who signs up for this: Peaked in high school, used to be an athlete and is now bored in their day job and says "man, I just want to recapture that feeling I used to have..." Roid-raging crossfitter wants to go hit someone Napoleon-complex little man whose parents didn't want him playing football and wants to "show everyone"
  16. My flexibility is shit; I had some shoulder issues on my L side a few years ago that continue to linger. I do stretch but could be more regular about it. I do power clean and play basketball often, so explosive force production is something I have some familiarity with, I just have the sequencing out of order for my driver swing. Couples swing is so effortless, it's beautiful. My big issue is sequencing...in all those examples, once he completes the take back in his backswing, there is a slight pause in the club and he transitions his lower body weight to his front foot to start the downswing. I'm relatively good at that in my iron swing but for whatever reason in my driver, I'm not - my body wants to start the swing motion in the club rather than the lower body. As a result I get really "armsy" and disconnected between my upper/lower body as they try to fire together and it warps the swing and robs power at best, at worst it sends the ball careening off to the left or right or tops it. On Sunday my wife and I golfed our "home" course at Avery Ranch (we're not full members there but it's closest to our house). It was like I had never hit a driver before in my life. Eventually I backed off to 50% power on my swing just to try to hit relatively straight-ish. Finally around hole 12 it started to feel right. My irons and chips were great and my putting was improved, I only 3-putted I think twice in 18. Finally on the last hole, it all came together. Decent if short drive, my 2nd approach shot I was about 10 feet behind a 10 foot tall bush with no view of the hole with about 140 yards to go, and I used my 9-iron and got great loft and got it up over the bush and landed about 12 feet from the hole, which I 1-putted for par. Felt really, really good to close out strong. My wife just texted me wanting to go to the range again tonight, she's got the bug! Thanks for the drill, I'll try that out next range session. Maybe one of these times I'll get a recording and someone more knowledgeable here can give me some feedback?
  17. They do have the 2 versions "F" and "V," on the SF002 model, which changes the bounce profile slightly. I got the V's for the 60 and 56 and F for the 50. I was able to hit all three this weekend and my chips were the strongest part of my game, for once, although I still need to practice more getting out of the sand. I believe they are cast, which is fine for where I am in the game. https://takomogolf.com/products/skyforger-002-wedges?srsltid=AfmBOorQw4NyknvmFLsDiAXc6kjMbSdh19Rjb2GcT3V13Wb2GAWd8IPF&variant=44931593437381
  18. I'm sure just a coincidence that they chose Tennessee for this one lol
  19. Oh and while I was out part of my Takomo order arrived, my wedges. Excited to try these tomorrow.
  20. Work trip this week to Portland, ahhh what a great opportunity to golf in some nice PNW weather! I land at PDX and it’s…97 degrees. Fuck. Oh well, got in 18 on Monday. Then got out again on Wednesday for twilight golf, got in another 9. They weren’t doing carts so I walked it which was actually really fun, about 4 miles. Weather in the low 70’s with a slight breeze, so nice. I actually shot my best so far, I was 49 through 9 so on track to crack 100. Back in Austin now and am going out to golf Avery Ranch tomorrow with my wife. Hopefully can keep the good vibes flowing.
  21. That's interesting, thanks. I've heard of Kalshi for the political betting markets but hadn't thought of it for sports (duh). Assume it has all the same funding restrictions as gambling sites, e.g. since I live in Texas I can't easily fund it, have to use crypto, etc?
  22. That tracks because when I try to crush it I end up losing form and shanking. My best shots have been at about 75% power and focused on form.
