    Three or four minutes to decide if this is a catch or not. Replay is such a miserable idea.
  2. Hairyducked Idiot
    I blame Glennon
  3. Hairyducked Idiot
    One win away from three straight NLCS is pretty darn impressive.
  4. Hairyducked Idiot
    Sit down Murphy you piece of horsefeathers
  5. Hairyducked Idiot
    Rizzo is the undercover king of tootblans but who cares
  6. Hairyducked Idiot
    Ok that DP was probably not Russell's fault
  7. Hairyducked Idiot
    Oh look it's a Dusty Baker playoff series. I recognize this.

    Poll - Is Tim changing the results in polls?

    You can't judge this kind of thing by stats. Everything is too interconnected in the NFL. How many yards per game you get, or yards per carry, is dictated as much by context as it is by the quality of your running game. Are you losing all the time? Enjoy a great YPG as you rack up 12-yard draws in the final minutes against prevent defenses. Great all-around team? Grind out 150 yards a game when you are just trying to chew up clock in the second half because you're up two scores. Hell, the quality of your passing game has as much influence on your rushing stats as anything. So my answer? I dunno. I don't watch enough other NFL teams to make a refined judgment about the difference between the second-best and fifth-best rushing attacks or whatever would be the line between elite and not elite. But I know it's damn good. They block well at the point of attack, Howard is an above-average back, and Cohen will be extremely fun to watch for the 20 career games he will squeeze in before being ground to paste. What they were able to accomplish against Pittsburgh when the pass was absolutely zero threat was pretty amazing.

    we are good
  11. Hairyducked Idiot
    Oooh this is gonna add some fun salt to the win.

    I love hockey. I go to multiple NHL games a year in person, I seriously thought about buying a pair of season tickets this year and only passed because they didn't have any available that would be appropriate for my son (long story). Hell, I'm the old old of shape nerd who started playing beer league in his 30s despite being awful and barely being able to skate. So believe me when I say this to you: Nobody in the world cares about how the NHL sets up their playoffs. Not even NHL fans outside of the weirdos convinced their team got screwed somehow.

    *wanking motion*

    For all practical purposes, you are giving WC1 a free win in a best of three. If 1 and 2 are tied in wins, are you gonna force teams to play a tiebreaker to decide that or let it be decided on some dumb stat tiebreak?
  15. Hairyducked Idiot
    two game playoff has two eliminations games. It also has one potentially non-decisive game, which is one too many
  16. Hairyducked Idiot
    Any idea that created a potentially non-decisive game in the wild card round is a non-starter.
  17. Hairyducked Idiot
    I don't hate it.
  18. Hairyducked Idiot
    I guess I'm in the minority then. This game is super exciting and I'm glad my favorite team isn't playing it it, but as a neutral observer I still don't think it's fair. We'll see what happens down the road probably when expansion happens again. Let's say you have a true 95-win team and a true 83-win team. How often do you think the better team wins in a 1-game series vs. a 3-game series?
  19. Hairyducked Idiot
    You have to balance fairness vs. entertainment. The only truly fair system is a 165-game round robin between all 30 teams or something stupid like that. The fairness gain from a 1-game WC series to a 3-game WC series is almost nothing, and a 3-game wildcard series would be completely horsefeathering boring, so it's an awful idea.
  20. Hairyducked Idiot
    Bring on the 2003 horse feathers as long as it's part of a Dusty choking forever montage
  21. Hairyducked Idiot
    it's pretty much that punchers chance that you and i and nobody else held out hope for in like 2013-14 IF THEY WEREN'T TRYING TO WIN, WHY WOULD THEY SPEND MONEY ON JAXON It coulda happened too. They just needed some breaks dammit
  22. Hairyducked Idiot
    You've just cut the number of potentially interesting regular season races from 8 to 4 (the 3 and 5 spot in each league). You're losing a ton of regular season drama on average
  23. Hairyducked Idiot
    The Twins going from 100 losses to deadline sellers to playoffs is pretty awesome.
  24. Hairyducked Idiot
    Current playoff setup is the best we have ever had. And everyone can shut up forever about making the WC best of 3. There are like six people on the planet who actually want to watch a 3.5-hour game 2 between a couple of 87-win teams from the opposite league from their fandom instead of getting on with the real playoffs.
  25. Hairyducked Idiot
    How many stupid worthless quarterbacks have we seen get hurt over the years, and this guy is going to be invincible.
