Is this now like a Red Sox curse thing? 

 

Do we need to bury DA at the Devil's crossroad after midnight? I think you'd have plenty of willing volunteers from here :lol:

 

I don't know I heard if you stare into DA's eyes, one turns to stone.  You might want to be careful attempting to bury him at Devil's Crossroad.

Thats a gambler's folly though. the fact is that we did score that many points and there's 0 reason why we can't score another 21 points this half. Not complaining but just pointing out an interesting thing. 

 

Nor is there any reason why we should score another 21 points... 

 

It's not a really a gamblers folly at all. Gamblers folly would be expecting previous independent trials to affect future trials. A series of football plays aren't independent trials necessarily. 

 

I'm actually supporting your point more by pointing that out.

I agree that we can score another 21, but using that same logic, since we scored a TD on the first drive of the game, we can score a TD on every drive of every game.  You gotta be realistic with what you expect

The folley/fallacy is Superman's stating that most teams don't score 42 points in a game and thus we probably won't score another 21 this half...

When Allen dropped the pass and Vinatieri missed the FG, you knew it was going to happen.  This team, under Chuck, is absolutely incapable of playing a complete game.  Hell, they even tried to give the game back to us with the fake punt, but we wouldn't take it .

I'm not saying that at all. I'm saying the opposite though. Say we average 28 points a game, right? Well just because we scored 21 in the first half doesn't mean we're only going to score 7 this half. You'd like to see one of those 40 point games that balance out the Crap we pulled against the Chiefs

Yes, but teams don't usually put up 40+ points in a game, so it doesn't make sense to expect it, even if we had a great start

    • I have him 6th because he should be 100% healthy entering 2023.
    • I'm gonna challenge this on a couple different levels. But I don't want you misunderstand, so I'll state plainly: I think Lamar is a really good player, and would be better than any QB we've had since Luck retired. Now... This is disingenuous. No one is turning Lamar down outright. At his best, he has still been a limited and inconsistent passer, and has not shown the development to consistently beat varied NFL defenses from the pocket. Lamar's strengths as a player require that he put his body on the line, and history has shown that NFL QBs who play the way he does eventually get injured. Lamar is the latest example of this. It's plainly obvious that Lamar wants a fully guaranteed, five year contract. We can conclude that acquiring him would cost at least two first round draft picks, plus the contract. It's also possible that the Ravens would match, so if we really want him, the best way to go about it would be a trade, in which case we're probably talking about three first round draft picks (see the Watson trade).  So what people are actually saying, in most cases, is more like this: 'I don't want us to give up 2-3 first round picks, and then pay $250m+, fully guaranteed, for a non-pocket passer QB who has been getting hurt recently, and still hasn't shown that he can beat defenses without putting his body on the line.'    And I think that's reasonable.
    • Top 8 QB (8th at best)that is often injured,terrible playoff performances and wants the largest contract in the history of the league. Irsay wasn't born yesterday.
    • There is absolutely some playfulness to it... For sure...   This board overreacts so much... And I get it. It is a fan board. But it is so funny when people are dead set in their convictions that they see no other possibility. They can see no other point of view. And they tend to lean on the media's take for proof of their thoughts.    I just like for people to be authentic. Take a swing. If you they project things correctly then great. And if they project something wrong, then they learn from it... And that helps to make more accurate future projections.    It might not have been this thread that had a bunch of deleted posts... There were a bunch going on back then at the same time. I know there were people throwing a lot of shots at me back then, for my take on things. I know some of that stuff got deleted. For the record, I never complained or turned anyone in. I think a couple of moderators read the threads, and decided to take action.    It is not about a victory lap... But people need to be told when they are wrong. People need to understand that there are other ways of looking at things... And that often the correct answer is not usually buried in the group think. I have told you this many times, but when I find myself in agreement with the consensus... That worries me, because I am probably missing something big.    I preach this all the time... Embrace your mistakes... Own them... It is the only way people can grow.    You have always been fair and honest. Our debates have always been civil... I respect the heck out of you for that.
