EPA is one of the truly dumb stats someone invented. It doesn't account for any real world conditions - like playing a top defense or playing in a blizzard. Nor does it account for the nature of a game - it assumes your goal is always to score as best as possible when in many cases (like the 2nd half yesterday), the goal is very different. If Maye played like he did yesterday in a regular game against a good opponent in good weather where they are trying to score 20 or 30 pts, maybe it's a relevant stat. But that wasn't the case.
I think the Seahawks will dominate this game and it won't be close, from top to bottom that team is stacked and personally I am friggin jealous that you can actually have a well-rounded team on BOTH sides of the ball. I think Maye is a decent QB when he uses his legs and I think this team is incredibly LUCKY but they did it when the Texans SHOULD have done it so props to them. I am happy for Diggs, he seems to have turned his toxic dark side into a positive person and not sure why we let him go and why Nick decided to knock a year off his contract and give him more $$ only for him to leave and we wasted a top draft pick to boot
why is it when I listen to sports radio or anything referring to the Super Bowl they can't actually use the phrase Super Bowl and they say the big game....that is so dumb, I am sure it's some user right or legal mumbo jumbo but it's absurd and frankly annoys the hell out of me........and one other thing from "get off my lawn guy", it used to be the commercials were the best and they rarely leaked, you had to actually watch to see them and it was fun......now there all out weeks before, I won't sneak peek, I like to see them in real time
As far as I know, the NFL does not allow the term "Super Bowl" to be used in commercials. They want payment for that. Otherwise, it's all good if sports radio or another TV network mentions the SB during a show. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
I only bring it up because when I am listening to radio row on 610 this week no one uses the phrase Super Bowl..................even Mattress Mack on his horrible bet of buying a bed and if the team from NE wins the "BIG GAME" your bed is free
Kirk Cousins should become an agent. If he can do for other players what he's done for himself, he'll become the Scott Boras of the NFL.
Not to make this all about me, but this game is really the ultimate test of my NFL prediction powers. Earlier in this thread, I picked the Seahawks to Cover. If the Patriots upset that, I think it puts my hex abilities in a whole new orbit, given this mismatch on both sides of the ball + special teams as well. @Buck Turgidson @Major
I think a real exciting idea is to make whichever team is winning play CJ Stroud at QB. What a crazy see-saw game that would be. No lead is safe!!!
Seahawks are the better team but I’m pulling for the Patriots. I don’t have the visceral hate for them a lot of people have for reasons, and at any rate, this is a totally different team from the Brady era. And if they win, we can at least say that the Texans were beat by the champions.
