Or as I like to call it, the Superb Owl.

I hope it rains a bunch and forces the teams to play small ball and we end up with a moist owlet.

They don't usually play them in the north because the NFL are pussies.

Only the Giants/Jets and the 49ers have built an open air stadium recently, which is why we've been on such a long streak of indoor owls.

I really don't want one just because of the endless wailing from every writer who had to cover the game that would go on for weeks.

I would enjoy taking in their delicious tears.

What the gently caress is this about?

Most of the discussion is in the NFCS thread.

honestly to me it's more mental to think that the Jets at one point were big adversaries of the loving 2010s Patriots and won a playoff game against them in Gillette and Mark Sanchez had a better game than Brady

The defense the Jets had those two years they made the AFC championship game was really something special.

Was reminded of Logicblade's great QB ranking thread from the offseason (https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3891377&userid=0&perpage=40&pagenumber=1) and figured, what the heck, let's throw the 2019 season into his formula and see what we get.

So the idea is basically, figure out what the average points given up in the season are (22.8), and teams record when that happens league wide (win 25.7% of the time when you give up that many points, win 74.3% when giving up less), then compare that to each team's record (he was doing it by QB, but I'm lazy.)

To pick a random team:

Steelers went 8-8, they went 1-5 when giving up 23+ points, and 7-3 when giving up less:

(1+5) * 25.7% + (7+3) * 74.3% = 8.972 Expected wins

8 actual wins - 8.972 expected wins = -.972 Wins

pre:
          Actual          Expected wins  Difference  (QB Value)           
Saints		13		7.51		5.49
Seahawks	11		6.06		4.94
Packers		13		8.97		4.03
49ers		13		8.97		4.03
Ravens		14		10.43		3.57
Chiefs		12		8.49		3.51
Patriots	12		9.94		2.06
Texans		10		8.00		2.00
Vikings		10		8.97		1.03
Eagles		9		8.00		1.00
Buccaneers	7		6.06		0.94
Rams		9		8.49		0.51
Cardinals	5		4.83		0.17
Raiders		7		7.03		-0.03

Titans		9		9.46		-0.46

Cowboys		8		8.97		-0.97
Steelers	8		8.97		-0.97

Browns		6		7.03		-1.03
Panthers	5		6.06		-1.06
Dolphins	5		6.06		-1.06
Broncos		7		8.49		-1.49
Jaguars		6		7.51		-1.51
Giants		4		5.57		-1.57

Lions		3		5.80		-2.80
Washington	3		7.03		-4.03

The expected wins seem too normalized.

Can I get a "gently caress the Saints" in the chat?

This makes me want to commit felonies.

I need to figure out what I'm contributing besides my house for the bounty. For the AFC championship game I made boneless wings, but it made the house stink and I don't want to cut up chicken and bread it and all that trash for two hours again.

I know tonight I'm going to cold smoke some cheese for a cheese and sausage platter

What I know is coming so far:
Various Dips
Burnt Ends
Burnt End and Potato Soup
Potato Skins
Pizzas
Stuffed Mushrooms
Little Smokies
Smoked Cheese and Sausage
Apparently Drummettes in the oven
Whatever pinterest-looking snack my buddy's wife makes

It feels like a lot of food, but if it's worth doing, it's worth overdoing.

What could I make Saturday or just make Sunday Morning that wouldn't add too much to the chaos.

Fresh Guacamole is never a bad look.

At the same time, the NBA's ratings are sinking and their salary cap is flatlining because of the revenue loss from that dude saying Hong Kong rules.
