Am I crazy for not liking the decision to go deep to Hill?

That's always how Deberg does it... post something incredibly stupid and just sit back and watch.

It's actually pretty smart when it comes to being this stupid on purpose, or else you just come off like you're trying way too hard if you keep up the charade by defending yourself over and over.

I mean, what would you like me to do?

Respond to every post? I feel like I made my point pretty comprehensively in the OP.

A few people have responded, others have bashed. What exactly is my role here?

We're having fun, let's not ruin the magic.

There are several options.

You've of course taken the route of letting the OP stand alone as a monument to try-hardedness.

The opposite approach would be to, yes, respond to basically every post. Double down to the posts arguing yours, tell others "thanks for contributing!" or "and your opinion would be..."... that sort of thing. Then as you get more responses, get really sarcastic with it in a completely told-you-so way, grandstand for your original argument, breaking down quotes and arguing each sentence individually. You'll need a decent collection of memes and gifs as well.

The middle of the road approach, more of a diqlix thing, would be to respectfully debate for 3 days, but with little bits of snark every few posts to bait people along. Put together some big rational post, but with a little dig at Mahomes or just a little Brady ballwashing. Then 3 days later, say you never even said Brady was better than Mahomes and that you didn't really hate the decision, you were just thinking about injuries... basically retract the entire thing in hopes of being able to hear people's heads explode over the internet.

And you could just repeat your same points over and over, as something so simple would still produce hundreds of responses... if it's one thing we love around here, it's talking about the same points again and again.

Haha, thanks? I don't know if you're familiar with me or my 56,000 posts, but I know how these conversations go, and I'm no stranger to fleshing out a discussion.

Truth of the matter is, I posted the OP, then went back to what I was doing, then returned an hour later and the dunk party was on. No harm no foul, let the kids have their fun. I don't look at a thread full of furrowed-brows and think to myself "what an awesome opportunity for a productive conversation to test philosophies and learn about football."

Like I said, absolutely no harm no foul.

I don't think I'm under any kind of obligation to ruin the party by trying in vain to have a productive conversation. But I'll re-read the community standards.

You need to shave your head as penance, I think.

You have sinned, Brother Direckshun.

I think my biggest sin was not prefacing it as late night bullshit.

Prefacing it as "Late Night Bullshit" does not save you from the scrutiny that you deserve for posting it.

God i ****ing hate that title. Idiots hide behind that in their thread titles as if such a preface should be a deterrent for attacking lame, dumb threads.

It doesn't.

You can all it "Late Night Bullshit" all you want, the end result is the same.

In football you take hits occasionally. It happens.

Brady is the single most overrated player in the history of sports. Always had a great defense when he won.

The play I didn't like was the late Kelce shovel pass. With us up 4 TDs I was hoping we could get some guys out of the game sooner and be less banged up for Thursday night football.

Kelce took some hard shots yesterday.

Rodgers, Herbert and Allen all could have made that throw.

There was a 3rd and 2, IIRC, Kelce ran a quick out or curl and just got creamed by the inside and outside zone defenders. It was a sandwich, the worst kind. To his credit, he bounced right back up, but I'd rather he not take those types of bone-crunching shots.

At least 3-4 times I thought they would send him into concussion protocol.

[morphius]

When he went to throw it I was wondering what he was doing going long there, but then saw how wide open Hill was and was just amazed that he threw that ball all the way across the field and laughed and enjoyed it.

[DJ's left nut]

Am I upset that on 3rd and 16 Patrick Mahomes went for the 1st down instead of dumping the ball off for 5 and setting up a punt?

Um...no. Why the hell would I be upset by that?

He made the sort of play that a championship caliber QB makes. This one seems pretty easy.
