YOU SAY MY POSTS ARE THE RAVINGS OF THE DUMBEST PERSON ON GOD'S GREEN EARTH BUT YOU YOURSELF ARE READING THEM. CURIOUS!

I don't think that was very valuable and, thankfully it is better now this way.

They still are that, just split between three threads.

Or am I misunderstanding what you are saying here?

I'm pretty sure talking about the game as it happens is the loving definition of "reacting to the game as it happens". The slower threads aren't full of people coming up with thousand-word screeds on the spot about whatever, it's people saying, for instance, "drat, the defense is getting killed by the run today", and then maybe people coming back with "is it just me or has [x player] been getting burned a lot", "why do they keep doing [y]", "remember when that other play happened that one time", "i don't know why i'm watching the packers anyway".

It's talking about what's happening in that game at that moment. It's stuff that doesn't fit in the other threads because nobody is sitting there making notes about what they were thinking about between the 9th and 6th minute of the second quarter in one of the 1PM matchups to go discuss, possibly in some kind of boardroom in some kind of suit that fits neatly over pads, with interested posters later. No, not even in the aftermath threads.

Now admittedly that is an idealised version of how that conversation might go (if it goes anywhere) but on the other hand the idealised version of the big threads is that you can post "lol" and refresh and look at all the other people that posted slightly different variations of "lol" so uh

The style of posting has not changed a bit. It just is split up between more threads. If that is what you want to make it "readable" then fine but don't pretend it suddenly changed how we do things for no reason.

It feels like people have been saying this every week.

Yeah but at least there was always quantity.
