I still had us at 10+ wins when we were 1-3. Made a $100 bet with a co-worker after game 4. I took 10 wins and the payoff is sweet....he gave me 3 to 1 odds. Made $300 bucks....paid for my div round playoff tix with it.

 

touche...  there aren't too many people who would have actually put money on that.

and I'd do it again after 2 years of the same and an 0-2 start...    5 years of losing games will do that to any reasonable person.  What is actually unreasonable is pretending like anyone actually expected 12-4 at the end of the year lol

 

a few people did, but I didn't really think it'd happen after preseason, lol.  I thought our secondary was too big a liability and our offense wouldn't gel.  Yeaaa.  It's good being wrong.

it's one thing to put money down like Hatter did..  then again, 3-1 odds and $100 isn't all too outrageous..  Still, I doubt very many would have actually laid down money on a bet.

 

However, few people watching this team lose in the same fashion at the start of this year as they have the past 2 years should have thought this team would have turned it around without using some sort of blind homerism.. 

 

at which point, you've just been cheering for mediocrity the last 5 years..

Kinda makes me want to dig up the threads where people were like "we can still make the playoffs just fine" after we went 0-2 only to get heavily ridiculed.

 

Then when we went 1-3, people made those threads as jokes.  After we beat Minnesota, we were all laughing about how we had just inched closer to the playoffs.

 

... Heh.

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      lol, that second part is quite literally one of the dumbest things ever. Having or not having guaranteed contracts has absolutely nothing to do with how much these billionaires have to pay.  Because there is a hard cap and a minimum cap spend requirement, and teams either use their cap or roll it over to use it all the next year, so the owners have to pay the same amount of money in the end no matter what. Having fully guaranteed contracts in the NFL would only hurt salary cap management, and thus would end up screwing over the team and its fan base when teams kiss on signings as they take up cap room that is needed to improve the roster. Look at the Browns with Watson, they gave him the fully guaranteed deal and all it’s doing is sucking up massive cap space now.  If they hadn’t done that, the owner would still be paying the same amount of money each year as that cap space would still be used elsewhere. If you want to argue for fully guaranteed contracts because the players deserve it, that’s an entirely different argument and a fair one to discuss.  But anyone against fully guaranteed deals isn’t doing it to argue for the billionaire owners.

      NHL Draft 2025

      By Rocky Davis · Posted

      Ryabkin could be the steal of the draft, he was a Top 10 pick heading into last season and had a rough year.  Lots of GMs passed on him because of that and his workouts. Pick has really high upside and Svech should be able to translate Rod tearing his arse a new one for making dumb plays since Svech has had several years of it.  🤣😂
