I definitely expected the chargers to win under Harbaugh. Guess it is Herbert after all.

i'll allow it. the deadline was set to 12, then 1 more so because I had availability to load rosters and lock them in to prevent edits after game time. I'll be busy after 2ish.

**Closed** Rosters loaded 13 this year (18 last year)... must be Harris voters who left

I can't see Ohio St losing this -
Again i'm going to just slightly disagree with you. We have seen Mahomes literally will his team down the field. We've seen him do it with Tyreek and a prime Kelce and we've seen him do it with not many weapons at all. We've seen him extend plays and make off balance throws at the last second, zip one in side arm if needed (and sometimes if not needed ). No, he's not running anyone over like Josh but it's different body types. Andy Reid is viewed as a top coach all time... now. It's not like that was the narrative before Mahomes. Mahomes can make all the throws Allen can make, and likely more. The difference is Allen's running. It's great that he is capable of it but is that what you really want and is that a winning formula? He's definitely better than Lamar. Picking teams to play 1 game i'll let you have Josh all day and pick Pat no questions asked. Burrow would be up there as well.
-
I don't really think either. Josh Allen scambles more than Pat because he has to. Pat has seemingly scrambled less and less each season... I think mostly because he doesn't really need to. He can extend plays with his legs, but he doesnt need to rush it in near the goal line. That's what Pacheco is there for. Better pocket passer? I would have never thought of Allen above Mahomes as a pocket passer. There may be numbers to support it, I'm just going with my eyes.
-
I will only disagree with you in terms of Pat. I do agree that Josh Allen embodies "hero ball" a little more than Pat... but I also don't think hero ball is what you really want to bank on, and it may be indicative of why Buffalo has been unable to beat KC in the playoffs despite regularly beating them in the regular season. As much as people can be tired of Mahomes and his commercials, etc, it's hard to deny his leadership, savvy, ability to make all the throws and his penchant for the big play in the right moment. As for a step back year, maybe. People were saying that because of his weapons... the loss of Diggs, no true #1, Keon Coleman possibly being a reach... I never bought that. Diggs has become a bit of a cancer and Josh Allen doesn't need a pro bowl WR to make him. He's capable of making a pro bowl WR. I think the bigger issue was the Jets on paper with a heathy Rodgers and the idea that the Dolphins would at least stay the course, if not improve.

Has Lamar ever even been to an AFC title game? Very overrated. Probably smoke everyone on the way to the SB now

Biden approves $500M Ukraine security package 11 days before Trump takes office
WhiteWonder replied to jbycho's topic in The Geek Club
Right, but I am not making any argument that he should stop carrying out "his agenda". All I did was state that using the overarching argument that "this IS what the American people voted for" is simplistic and lazy. By that logic, a President can do whatever they want after they are in office and it can be defensed by the simple fact that they were voted POTUS The support for aid in Ukraine that you talk about happened after he was elected. Plus, congressional support for something does not always equal citizen support Again I am not arguing for or against aid in Ukraine. I'll give my opinion on that below... I was simply addressing the excuse that was given or statement that was made. As for aid in Ukraine, sending tons of money over there is not and has never been the best solution. I recall during Trumps debate with Harris where the moderators kept asking him if he wanted Ukraine to win the war and he kept responding he wanted the war to end. Obviously that's not the answer they wanted, they wanted him to specifically say he wanted Ukraine to WIN. It was obviously a trap question. ... but as far as I'm concerned, Ukraine wins when the war ends. Unfortunately they might have to make some concessions. This stuff happens all the time. At this point it is far better to make some concessions and end the war than to carry on with lives being lost. -
Biden approves $500M Ukraine security package 11 days before Trump takes office
WhiteWonder replied to jbycho's topic in The Geek Club
unlike some, I don't cry over politics. Doesn't mean I won't comment on things or have a discussion. Deflect all you want. If Biden entered office in 2021 and immediately approved some sort of firearms bill allowing anyone to buy a gun with no background checks and people were saying "this isn't what we voted for" ... would your response be "They sort of did, when they elected Biden"... I highly doubt it. my entire presence in this thread was only to discuss that take. I havn't even said anything about $500M Ukraine -

WhiteWonder replied to jbycho's topic in The Geek Club
Yeah, that wasn't my point at all... but your response does indicate that you at least understand "but this IS what you voted for" is nothing more than a crutch excuse we like to give to our elected officials. -

WhiteWonder replied to jbycho's topic in The Geek Club
No it’s not. Unless I missed the Ukraine platform Biden ran on which would have been very odd considering Putin waited until the weak were in office. the people voted for Biden and all that comes with him… Yes. We know that. It’s still a lame fall back line to use when we all know people voted for him for entirely different reasons. -
Maga Media Takeover, Oligarchy now

nice. I got to stop reading after 3 posts. Good job -
Doesn't seem to be your QB. Also I'm going to need you to name those kickers for it to count

I think she's funny at times. I think she is somewhat overrated because she's attractive. A lot of entertainers are, it is what it is... She did well at the Brady roast but honestly how much / often did you hear about Nikki Glazer prior to that performance?

TGL starts tonight. Is that Tiger's Golf League? Tonight 9 pm on ESPN
WhiteWonder replied to edjr's topic in The Geek Club
They would give Tiger a billion to join too. Tiger likely doesn't care because he's Tiger and prestige matters the most to him at this stage in his career. But for a lot of the guys getting to be a part of TGL, the same money from the first 2 years of LIV won't be there for them now. That ship sailed once they landed Bryson, Brooks, Smith and mainly Rahm. -
I assume so. But in my thread for 2021 (which I renamed just now to 2022) I asked ZT if he was going to run it again and he declined because of covid related job stress. Maybe 2021 playoffs was just lost in the covid abyss and I only remembered the game the following season . That's probably what happened.
-
So it appears the last year ZT ran this was 2020 (2020 playoffs/ 2019 regular season) and the first year I picked it up was actually 2022 (2022 playoffs / 2021 regular season) but incorrectly titled it 2021 because 2020 was the last thread I could find from ZT..... It is possible there was no contest for the 2021 playoffs? Maybe one of our many FFT sleuths can find it for 2021. I have updated the OP
