We're 2-0 you feckless avalanches of wilting children

Recommended Posts

sweet jesus god, the gameday thread and chat was like sitting through a hailstorm of brat tears and 49ers fans punting their year-old flatbrims back into closets filled with pokemon paraphanalia and drake posters. i try not to hate on our fans because we all have our cohort of insufferable milquetoasts, but god damn from cam's first incompletion we had gutless shrimp calling for derek anderson to start.

 

instead, cam threw for 281 yards and a TD, coming up aces in critical situations on multiple drives. avant caught a touchdown. defense balled out with multiple sacks (including 2.5 from hardy backup mario addison in the waning moments of the game.) philly brown looked great. stew was effective enough, with a modest 3 ypc but a TD. offensive line handled suh for the most part, and the secondary handled calvin johnson for the most part, two of the best players in the league at their position. shula called an effective second half, adjusting to burgeoning weaknesses in the secondary

 

 

 

 

….and now we're 2-0, without our starting back, right end, and an injury-stifled quarterback. so please stop being giant perspectiveless baby posters on this forum for the next 14 weeks while we finish out this season kicking ass. we're having too much fun for your bullshit.

I honestly wonder about some of the folks in those game day threads, and how miserable their lives must be, being that negative.

 

i can see doubting in the fourth in a close game, but there's always the ones calling it over in the 2nd

Believe

 

i'm not personally a fan of rah-rah "believe" threads, because they tend to leave no place for objective, rational criticism of the team, which has plenty of merit. but god damn the perspectiveless children are absolutely unbearable, because they're incapable of offering objective, rational criticism and their knee jerk reactionaryisms destroy the attempts of everyone's collective experience.

I've been a Red Sox fan my whole life.

This is a damn good football team.

I wish I could pie you more than I did.  Chicken Littles were in full force at one point in the game,  we were never getting routed, and we dominated the lions.  Could not physically be prouder of this team.

    • Saints trade WR Shaheed to Seahawks Seahawks get: WR Rashid Shaheed Saints get: 2026 fourth-round pick, 2026 fifth-round pick Seahawks' grade: A- Saints' grade: B+ One of the NFL's hottest passing teams just got better. The Seahawks currently rank third in EPA per dropback (0.25) and first in success rate on dropbacks (53%). And now they are adding Shaheed in a move that makes sense both on the field and in terms of where the Seahawks are as a franchise. Shaheed, 27, is averaging 1.8 yards per route run this season. But I think that sells him short because that number is down a bit from his career average entering this year (2.0) and he's been playing a role that includes running fewer vertical routes (34%) compared to last year (44%). Shaheed also has consistently posted above-average open scores in ESPN's receiver score metrics, including a 63 this season that ranks 28th among wide receivers. As a complement to Jaxon Smith-Njigba, I expect Shaheed will run downfield more often and be a bigger threat in that role than rookie Tory Horton was. When Cooper Kupp returns, he and Shaheed will make for a nice pair of secondary threats behind one of the best receivers in the league in Smith-Njigba. This is the time to strike for the Seahawks. FPI gives Seattle an 84% chance to make the playoffs and a 5% shot at winning the Super Bowl. This addition helps boost their chances without mortgaging their future the way the Colts did in the Sauce Gardner trade. Shaheed is a pending free agent but given the leverage of the moment for the Seahawks and their need I think they ought to be plenty willing to pay the cost. Shaheed is young enough to where if Seattle doesn't retain him he should sign a free agent contract that would yield Seattle a compensatory pick -- if the Seahawks don't nullify that pick with signings of their own. Because the Seahawks currently have $79 million in cap space next year, per OverTheCap, getting that compensatory pick is not guaranteed. The Saints are not rolling in cap space the way the Seahawks are -- and thus would land a compensatory pick for Shaheed -- but they got more draft capital this way than they otherwise would have. Considering New Orleans' 1-8 record, this should have been an easy decision.
