Hottest first pitch ever.

I thought Japan liked us.

 

:unsure:

It's a bit of a mixed bag,  it's something you could better understand if you understood japanese traditions regarding war, their defeat in WW2 is seen by them as a great shame on the entire country and our being there is nothing more then a reminder of that shame. plus the fact that we have completely neutered them militarily speaking, and deposed their emperor(the imperial family is generally still well like and respected in Japan).

 

But with that said we are now the main thing standing between them and the Chinese and North Korea(both Hate Japan), so I guess you could say they like us for that.(South Korea doesnt like japan either but they wont do anything because of us).  but to understand the fact that there is a general distain by the populace you only need look no further then japanese pop culture, for example TV shows, anime, comic books(manga), in all forms of media when the US is used its solely as an evil imperialistic government, which is kinda funny when you consider the reason we are in Japan to begin with so the whole irony is not lost on me in this.

 

With that said I think we are more well liked with the younger generation, as time continues relations will continue to improve with each generation to come, think in 1950 Japan was disgusted with our being in their country and today they kinda know why we're here and kinda tolerate it.

    • Well even if we took diverging paths getting there...our overall assessment of Shough is the same (bolded) lol so I guess that's what matters.  What you call "playing at a level that looks like a veteran starter" is the same thing I'm referencing when I talk about his poise.  Although I still wonder how truly "bad" of a team the Saints are.  Their defense is middle-of-the-road, and their offense does have some good pieces (Olave, Juwan Johnson) outside of running back which is the position most everyone agrees is relatively plug-and-play.  I'm not going to pretend to know anything about the majority of NFL team's o-lines lol but I'm assuming Saints are not great there, although Shough's pressure % seems to have been quite low (and steadily improving) over the last four weeks (20 -> 16.7 -> 15.0 -> 13.0) so maybe they've been playing better as of late, or perhaps Shough himself deserves credit for that.   Some of the language I'm hearing about Shough, including talking about how he's way above league average in several categories, makes it sound like Shough is having a rookie season on par with like a CJ Stroud who established himself as basically a Top 5-10 QB his rookie season.  Maybe that's on me though, I don't mean to attribute anything to you that I'm sure you don't agree with.
    • Since your being selective (and somewhat deceptive) with your comparisons, I'll throw this up so we can compare apples to apples. Both Young and Shough have played against the Rams. Young went: 15/20 (75%) for 191 yards, 3 TDs, 0 INTs with a 147.1 QB rating Shough went: 15/24 (62.5%) for 176 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT with a 81.2 QB rating   Both Young and Shough have played against the Buccs. Young went: 21/32 (65%) for 206 yards, 2 TDs, 0 INTs with a 102.5 QB rating Shough went: 13/20 (65%) for 176 yards, 0 TD, 1 INT with a 65.4 QB rating   Both Young and Shough have played against the Falcons. Young went: 31/45 (75%) for 448 yards, 3 TDs, 0 INTs with a 123.2 rating Shough went: 30/43 (69.7%) for 243 yards, 0TD, 1 INT with a 74 QB rating   Seriously, in what world is Shough a better QB.
    • Freddie? For this game? Seriously? I don’t get it. Hope we get the best version of Freddie tonight.
