Man city tied 0-0 at the half. Outplayed .5 to .2 in expected goals. Fully expect them to pull out a 2-0 win despite getting outplayed again in the second half.

re: 0-6 now for teams who had a bye

It’s not the bye it’s the time off. The playoffs obsession with using the bowl games has made the schedule absurd.

The first round of playoff games should be the weekend after the conference championship games. Second round is the next weekend. Semifinals weekend after Christmas. Finals right after NY.

You can’t get a bye if you don’t play in a conference title game. Longest anyone will have off is two weeks, just like a normal bye during the season.

Boom problem solved

Yeah this is not good. Hopefully they can diagnose the cause and whatever caused it was a fluke thing, but this sounds similar to Chris Bosh who had underlying conditions that just made him susceptible to blood clotting and he basically never came back.

Maybe it’s not as bad for Olave since NFL players don’t have to fly nearly as much as NBA players.

Jesus I didn’t realize how sad it was to be an Iowa fan. Living off of nothing but random second tier bowl victories for the past 25 years.

Congrats on getting to hang your Capital One/Reliaquest/Outback banners.

Imagine treating a bowl game like a real game in the year of our lord 2025.

Phenomenal movie. Extremely uncut gems. Chalamet was fantastic, the true successor to “a-hole Leo” from Wolf of Wall Street and Blood Diamond.

Glad Raya committed his once in every five games mega frickup while we were up 4-0 in stoppage time.

Feels like it really all comes down to having Gabi and Saliba fit. When they’re the two CBs we look like by far the best team in Europe. If we lose one we just look like one of the best teams.

Expected goals finally reverted to the norm for both teams.

Man City has been riding it too, albeit not as much as Villa. It’ll come for them too.

If the dolphins don’t run back the two point try we would be in contention.

Shades of 2016 when we had a go ahead PAT blocked and returned for two in the last minute (against either broncos or panthers I believe) that cost us the game and we ended the season one spot out of contention going into the final week.

Hopefully history repeats itself and 2026 is like 2017.

Solak is one of the Ringer NFL nerd alums obsessed with QBs “potential” and athleticism and arm strength over the ability to play the position. Same group of guys that have said Herbert and Lamar are way better than Burrow over the last 5 years.

If they were around in 2011 they would’ve said Cam Newton and Matt Stafford were better than Brees.

Going Cam Ward over Shough is an incredibly on brand take for that crew

It really goes to show how many “easy throws” are as much a result of good qb play/good play calling as they are bad defense. Shough’s arm talent, but more importantly his decision making and processing, is head and shoulders above Rattler and that’s leading to a lot of easy looking throws.

Then there’s the added component of Moore having more and more faith (no pun intended) in his QB which is allowing for more confident and consistent playcalling, especially in the red zone.
