9 including Young, but that list does also somehow include JJ McCarthy.

I figured it out. Those color schemes really need white because they are really more of accent colors. But you can't really wear white pants in hockey.

Makes sense because we're so close to the Bucs in the standings

Yea there’s a good reason I chose Moose as my avatar

Yea I don’t necessarily think it makes that big of a difference. Guys typically always want to go off on their former team whether it was FA or whatever caused them to leave.

Also completely unrelated. I don't know what it is, but I really don't like the old North Star scheme that the Wild used last night. The green and yellow scheme is probably my favorite color scheme in all of sports. (eg. Packers, Oakland A's). I know that North Stars look is a classic, but man its ugly. I don't know how they messed it up. I guess it's kinda like the Kings purple and yellow uniforms they wore ages ago. Maybe these colors just aren't meant for hockey lol. Anyways, here's wonderwall.

CMC is probably gonna have his revenge game against us. Guys typically get amped to play the team that traded them.

Agree with everything. But, yeah I'll take the committee over the top draft pick. The top draft pick RB almost never pans out. It's early but Ashton Jeanty looks pedestrian. Bijan Robinson is good, but was he really worth that pick? Gibbs and Taylor are good but Gibbs is part of a tandem and has Taylor even been on a winning team? I'm just not sure its a formula that works particularly well. When the Eagles signed Saquon in FA they already knew that he was that guy at the NFL level.

Rods shootout lineup logic is almost always indefensible

At least we stole a point

Nasty save on Svech

Almost scored again

Hooooo boy

That ones a little much LOL

He deserves it

Blake

The decimal points are the cherry on top. Masterful work.

I had high expectations for him but I think he probably is what he is at this point.

You just can't measure if a guy is that dude or not with numbers. The whole notion of GWD as a statistic is borderline useless. All it tells you is how many times a team took the lead in the 4th quarter and won the game. There's so many factors baked into that both on and off the field. The way coaches adjust in the games. The way referees call games. Injuries, weather, luck, etc. The reason this particular topic is so funny is because nobody realized it even happened. You didn't need a post summing up all of Jake's game winning drives to realize they actually happened. Everyone knew Jake was that dude because he drove the team down into scoring range every single week. The slumdog millionaire run of pass interference calls, etc. There's just too many of them that are not even worth talking about.

I mean I get it from JT's perspective. He's not trying to be putting out a bunch of negative content every week. Its for YouTube views, not for the player's development.

It's just hard to evaluate performance in football because of all the interconnected factors that determine the outcome. Individual stats like passing yards, rushing yards, etc give us somewhat of an idea of production. But it's still dependent on how other players perform. A win is the ultimate team stat, and I don't think GWD is any different really. You can credit to the QB. But it involves the entire team (including coaching), calls by officials, and sometimes even luck.

If all you can get out of the last couple weeks is 2 minutes of film then you probably aren't very valuable as a film reviewer. There is more to be learned in bad film than good film.

True, but I'd argue separation isn't at as much of a premium when defenders can't be as physical. If you can catch anything thrown at you, there's not a lot that can be done to stop it. You can probably make an argument that it draws more PI flags to separate less, and is therefore valuable to be a jump ball WR.

At a certain point, you have to let your eyes see what's happening on the field. The nuance of everything going on in a football game is never going to be captured by analytical statistics. Too much information becomes noise. But we're interested in the signal.
