Is it better to be lucky, or good?
 

Worked for the Patriots LMAO

Good because Luck runs out

Always good. You can't control when you are lucky.

Being good creates luck, or at least advantageous situations in which the tiniest bit of luck can win the game.

They don't ask how... they ask how many.

Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity, and we're almost indisputably the most-prepared team in the league these days.

Yep, and the harder you work & the more pressure you put on the other team, the luckier you get.

Incorrect. Luck is luck.

People like to say that. Just like they say insanity is doing the same thing over and over expecting a different result. Yet that is not what the dictionary says.

Like Billy Zane trying to find a way off Titanic, the Chiefs have a way of making their own luck under Mahomes.

"Luck is when preparation meets opportunity!"
Seneca

If you're shitty and get lucky, you still lose the game 35-14.

This cannot be more true in regards to the Chiefs.

The Chiefs prepared thoroughly for the OT rules in the SB while the 49ers had players who didn’t even know the rules.

The Chiefs prepared for Bosa knowing he would crash on the RB every time. On a 4th and 1 in the SB in OT, they prepared and ran fake handoff option and exploited Bosa.

The Chiefs prepared thoroughly for a FG attempt, saw a big weakness and ended up exploiting it by blocking it to win the game.

Preparation was met by opportunity each time.

Falsehoods are falsehoods. I will dispel misinformation when present as this is a message board.

Luck is more important for the Chiefs than anyone else because of how good they are. As another poster essentially said, if you suck and are lucky you still lose so it doesn't even matter. We've been lucky and good. If we were unlucky we are 7-2 instead of 9-0 no real difference in how we would feel about this team.

DaFace was paraphrasing the Roman philosopher Seneca.

If you want to argue philosophy... your man is with a guy that has been dead for almost two thousand years.

Luck would be the 1995 Chiefs.

GDI

This is SUPPOSED to be a Patriots thread. LMAO

Lucky, all day everyday.

Until your luck runs out. Then you better be good.

Dig him up. I will fight him. Socrates a bitch too.

Be good.

BTW I wish for Pat to someday have that much time and space to complete a pass.

It was fine when NE won with all 3 phases. They were just “built different” “champions” “gritty winners.” But when KC wins with defense and STs, they’re “lucky” “frauds” “refs.” Pat has to throw for 400 yds and win 42-38 or else it isn’t good enough anymore.

This thread is a ****ing disaster. I've provided multiple clips of the Patriots doing the exact things our team is endlessly criticized for in the current season and instead of pointing and laughing and hopefully triggering Amnorix as he lurks we're ****ing debating the merits of luck vs being good.

CHIEFSPLANET DID NOT UNDERSTAND THE ASSIGNMENT

More than 9 out of ten times regarding instances of miscommunication or outright failed communication, it is the sender who is at fault.

Your thread is a failure.

ALL YOU HAD TO DO WAS WATCH THE VIDEO!

Is it better to be lucky, or good?
 

That's a classic debate! Both "luck" and "skill" have their roles, but the balance between them really depends on the situation.

Being good: Skill, experience, and preparation give you control over your outcomes. When you're good at something, you're more likely to succeed because you understand the nuances and can anticipate challenges. Good preparation helps you take advantage of opportunities when they arise.

Being lucky: Luck is unpredictable, but it can play a major role in certain situations. Sometimes, the right circumstances line up unexpectedly, and those moments can change everything. However, luck can be fleeting and out of your control, so relying solely on it isn't a stable strategy.

In most cases, being good gives you a solid foundation, and luck can amplify your success when it strikes. Many would argue that luck favors the prepared—meaning that your chances improve when you put in the work, because you're ready when the right moment comes.

Ultimately, the best scenario is a mix of both. You can’t control luck, but you can increase your chances of good fortune by honing your skills and being in the right place at the right time.

It would be hilarious if all of Wendler’s threads were filled with nothing but garbage ChatGPT replies.

It's better to be good and lucky than cheat like the Patriots.

It is better to be good. Luck doesn’t last.
