(ESPN) Sports Science examines game-ending call

That could have been interesting since Navy and Liberal are about mutually exclusive and stereotyping those together could prove to be a task. For the record, I'm a Democrat, not necessarily a liberal and I retired from the Navy 20 years ago...

 

Take the first sentence and apply it to what you wrote. Such as anti-science and ------. It's not a task to sling rhetoric with ideology. For the record I don't care what you are.

Because ESPN can't let it go...

They conveniently ignore the fact that Gronk would have had to teleport through Robert Lester to make the catch. 

 

 

Totally agree with the teleportation. Everyone at ESPN and ALL of their shows never ever mention that Robert Lester caught the interception. Gronkowski had no chance to stopp his momentum, pivot AND teleport through Lester to make an attempt to catch the ball. Gronk is good, but damn, it aint like that bruh. Knock it off!!

In what world would a man traveling 16mph be able to stop in half a second? Science? Really? There is no doubt that kuechly committed an infraction on this play, but it is equally true that this ball was not catchable. With science like this, politicians are shaping their own world views just fine irrespective of reality

PS - same crap "science" used to show that Cam Newton ran 75+ yards to gain 15

What I wrote was edited and removed by me just so sensitive people such as yourself wouldn't get twisted up about it. Guess I wasn't quick enough.

If that's what passes for Science in America today, we're all doomed.

 

There are so many variable left out and the ones they do used applied incorrectly.  So, Gronk really has Luke's entire 235 lbs of force against him.  What speed was Luke moving at because they would incrase the amount of force?  How much surface area of the force being applied to?  I could go on and on.  It's just brainless spectulation with some random numbers added.

 

 

It's called juking the stats. Use the components that agree with your reality but leave out EVERY OTHER one as well. QB rating and QBR are done the same way.

ESPN is so butt hurt about the Pats losing. They just won't let it go. Every Ref that is interviewed says it's the right call and the NFL backs up the call. Pat fans just need to stop crying about a call that didn't go their way. There was an olineman clearly holding on the winning drive against the Saints and their fans were as quite as a mouse about the no call. But when the call goes against them they raise Hell. A lot of these Pat fans are such spoiled bitches.

    • Possible, he is physical and a forchecker but not a needle mover, but i wouldnt mind it, although I think we have enough 4th line grinders right now between Carrier Robinson and Janakowski  down there, i actually really love our 4th line.            We need scoring in the top 6, and a RHD at this point its definitely coming via trade.            Rasmus Andersson I hear may be on the market, it feels like every couple of seasons someone links us to Erik Karlsson.       As far as centers go,  Marco Rossi (even though we have a ton of smurf already)     Jordan Kyrou is an intriguing option if he is available.           At this point i think Rod should just move Jarvis to his natural center position to give us a 1B center...   yes hes also a smurf but he plays way bigger than he is stylistically.

    • The problem with these summary stats and rankings is that they flatten out progression and assume an even performance throughout the year. His first 3 or 4 games of the season don't really tell you anything about his current level of capacity but more about where he started and what his floor was last year. Given his last several games were against playoff teams, that gives you an idea of his current ability coming into the season. But it will serve more as a floor than a ceiling given the upgrade in talent on offense. And a better defense should give us more stops which results in shorter fields and more opportunities. And going into his third year there is no reason to suspect he will regress. His success wasn't  based on being superhuman but being smart and taking what was the defense was giving him. Distributing to the other guys not trying to do it on his own. He was great at the end when pressured and consistently moved the ball. That makes him a great game manager which is what we need. Something that is easier to do and relies on everyone else rather than having to be a top physical specimen or do it on his own. No one can predict the future but to say we haven't improved much is crazy given just having the Browns anchoring the defensive line will shut down the run and make sure QBs won't be stepping up in the pocket.  Assuming Evero got the message to can the prevent defense and bend until you break philosophy.
