Having John Elway rip my heart out of my chest and eat it in front of me for 15 years was pretty sucky.

I think before Mahomes the Chiefs were bottom 10 unlucky over my lifetime. Obviously getting Mahomes is insanely lucky. Since then 2018 had some bad luck, 2019 had great luck, 2020 had some shitty luck.

Favre is retiring. Whew thank god that guy is gone

Oh you got another guy who is better than that hall of famer

That’s fun

Yeah but then you become Aaron Rodgers or Peyton Manning (pre-Denver) until you win another one.

Yeah Indy and GB had the QB luck market cornered until Luck retired early.

30 solid years of uninterrupted HOF QB play for GB. And both highly entertaining gunslingers.

And dbags

I’m a bears fan man, you’ve got nothing on me on rival hall of fame QB’s killing your team

oh 15 years wow, that’s a lot

Pre-Mahomes I’d have put the Bears ahead of the Chiefs for one SB win and another appearance.

I wish you would not take very obvious bait. I was clearly joking given our back and forth on 2p2 years ago and after I accidentally replied to you I figured I’d troll you. I’m sorry for underestimating how ridiculously insane you are about the plight of Chiefs fans.

I knew you were joking around. I just didn’t have anything better to do so I let out and got some post-playoff stress disorder therapy.

I was alive then but too young to remember that until the early 90s so it was obvious Ditka really sucked but he really sucked then too cause he only got one, the team was just incredible for like 4 seasons that covered it up.

something I wondered after yesterday

the analytics on 3rd and 4th and short when it’s 3rd or 4th quarter a key drive when the game fucking matters

what are the actual odds cause those play calls man coaches do some wild shit

if you are 6 feet tall and you fall down, that’s two yards

remember when packers fans believed aaron rodgers playoff failures were all the fault of mike mccarthy and then rodgers kept failing without him anyway and now mccarthy and rodgers immediately exit the playoffs to the same wild card team

I’m kinda glad the Packers lost yesterday, even as a WI born Packers fan. Rodgers winning a ring this season would have just been confirmation that we’re all actually living out some sort of weird simulation in hell. Ready for the Jordan Love era.

One of the Eagles analytics dudes did a study on the success rate of QB sneaks before the 2017 season and they’re absurdly successful. He also found that something specific in the QB’s footwork had a tremendous impact on success rate. I think Eagles QB’s went like 13-of-13 that year or something.

I actually think up to maybe 3&3/4&3, QBs should basically always have the option depending on the defensive front. Brady used to be really good about audibling to a QB sneak when the center was uncovered because nobody can fill the hole in time.

As of a few years ago Brady was 91.6% on 3rd/4th and 1 or 2.

To put that in perspective, Adrian Peterson at the same point in time was 73% in those situations. Same average yards to go as Brady across the sample size (1.18).

Jimmy G for all his warts is great on sneaks. I even thought the GB defense on 4th and 1 was set up fine for a sneak - they had a DL over center but they didn’t have both guards covered. Massive fancy play syndrome, they were just desperate to put Trent Williams in motion - and then have to sub him off the next play if they converted.

The third down play call was indefensible

I think the 4th down play was ok - the RB just inexplicably didn’t follow Williams

The TEN playcalling on their 3rd and a foot yesterday is still the worst. I actually don’t hate taking a surprise shot at the end zone there as an alternative to a sneak, especially if the plan is to chuck it a mile OOB at the first sign of pressure and then you preserve the distance for 4th down. That weird option they called was hideous though.
