THE HELL IS WITH THIS ASS!?





Black Lighter posted:

Yeah, it's this. AFCE is mostly GDT posts and McMagic once again asking for Robert Saleh to be fired. NFCN is probably the second biggest thread, because it's all midwestern fans who acknowledge each other's humanity. We don't do that here. gently caress the Cowboys.

If you're only in on your own team/division, using the division thread as a GDT makes a lot of sense. How many of us are sickos about watching every game? i kinda catch the afternoon games on Sundays only in parts unless the Eagles are playing and actually getting televised in my area. Still gonna watch TNF/SNF regardless though, those are usually the good and/or funny matchups.

lol these rankings show how flimsy this generation of stats is. the fact that three outlets can watch the same film and grade a team 49/78/60 or 79/4/40 is absurd

e: also in the preceding tweet he complains that Dak's surrounding talent is overrated because "his OL is decent but not great," which, yes they're ranked 14/32 on your Fake Bullshit Stat Aggregate image. that's exactly Decent But Not Great. that's almost dead center average. so are they overrated or are they appropriately rated as average Ben you ugly sniveling egghead

I poke around the other conference threads and the disparity in activity is still odd to me. It can't be a regional thing because the AFCE thread gets, by far, the most amount of posts among the six

On top of everything else, I just want to note that in less than a week, we've had leaks about Zach Wilson refusing to play and Sean McDermott trying to get his team to emulate the 9//11 hijackers. With Snyder gone, all our teams are run with a baseline amount of sanity that keeps us from being able to talk about the really crazy poo poo.

"I don’t know why he’s that awkward, but his social skills are lacking," the player said.

“Maybe he’s just wound-up thinking about ball. You’ve got to talk to the team every day. That’s one where maybe he heard it on a podcast. Next episode!

That’s not the one to lead with. He was trying to bring the team together. It was a horrible, horrible reference. He missed the mark."

quote:

At St. John Fisher College in Pittsford, N.Y., McDermott’s morning address began innocently enough. He told the entire team they needed to come together. But then, sources on-hand say, he used a strange model: the terrorists on Sept. 11, 2001. He cited the hijackers as a group of people who were all able to get on the same page to orchestrate attacks to perfection. One by one, McDermott started asking specific players in the room questions. “What tactics do you think they used to come together?” A young player tried to methodically answer. “What do you think their biggest obstacle was?” A veteran answered, “TSA,” which mercifully lightened the mood

also it's been confirmed by Sean McDermott. so as a nation we've learned nothing from Donald Trump

What do they talk about that we don't?

I mean, we already know who in this division is going to the playoffs and who's not, and we're all in agreement about who we hate (the cowboys, each other, teams not in the division, in that order). Things are just pretty settled here, maybe?

In the AFCE thread, they talk about the Jets and Bills a ton and, yeah, there's a lot of throwaway shitposts in that one and the others I read as well. It's just, like, on Monday mornings when I want to read feedback, poo poo talk, meltdowns plus a few game breakdowns the new replies for this thread are always way lower. It's not a criticism or anything. Just something I've noticed that seems weird since our fanbase and markets are as big as anyone's and we field two of the best teams in the entire league.

Perhaps we're just more discerning.

Blarzgh does his "Dak Prescott is amazing/advanced stats/high effort posts and Doltos has his whole angry old man act going. I do...whatever it is I'm doing. But there's simply not as much activity.

By that I mean "gently caress the Cowboys"

IMO it is because when one posts in here, they immediately get their face kicked in by fans of other teams. As it should be.

NFCE thread is like NFCE football. Mean, rugged, take-no-prisoners poo poo.

Those other division threads like to yak-yak-yak all day like it’s a social club where they knit linens.

In here, you lose about three teeth per post you make and then have to recover for a while.
