That has to be an alcohol-induced bet (just like I'm more inclined to make a dumb purchase on-line after I've had a few beers). Even Jeff Bezos wouldn't risk 1.4M to win 11K.To put this in normal people terms, betting $140 to win $0.11.

This is fair, Ekeler should have had more touches.I was focused more on the 6 total touches including targets Ekeler had once the LAC went up 27-0. I agree they probably couldn't have just ran it but get the ball into your best players hands especially when you are down to 2 WRs which was much of the game once Carter got hurt.
Reminds me of that scene in Marky Mark’s The Gambler where he hits on 19 just because he’s an addict and hates his life.That has to be an alcohol-induced bet (just like I'm more inclined to make a dumb purchase on-line after I've had a few beers). Even Jeff Bezos wouldn't risk 1.4M to win 11K.
He sounds a little burned out. I mean, he has seen it all. He sounds like my dad got around Al’s age, when it comes to sports. Transitioned from caring to being like, “what’s the fucking big deal, they just do it all again next year”.He definitely gave off a 2001 Summerall vibe on that last Jags drive. The guy who is noted for the making most famous winning call of all time was remarkably flat.
That is why those idiotic small odds bets are a boon to the bookies. You need to win 1272 bets in a row at those odds to make up for this loss. That's a lot of bets. Lol.Reminds me of that scene in Marky Mark’s The Gambler where he hits on 19 just because he’s an addict and hates his life.
Do you constantly need to do things like this?Did you really need to move decimal points to explain this to us plebeians?
Me?Do you constantly need to do things like this?
I guess thanks for your unique and insightful comments on Tony Dungy.

Whoops, Sorry — I think I understand. I have some posts I do not see.No, not you.
Not to mention Brandon Aiyuk. 3/73.Ekeler had 2 catches for 8 yards. He had 107 receptions this year. And Mike Williams was out. And the Chargers were like, "Nah, let's use this Michael Bandy fellow, he's got promise, especially on an important 3rd and 1 play."
NFL coaches are hilarious when it comes to not using their best players. It is such a stupid and weird flex.
Do you know why Brock Purdy is basically Tom Brady but more handsome? He gets the ball to Deebo Samuel, George Kittle, and Christian McCaffrey. Turns out, using your best players is a good strategy.
Getting the ball to your best players is just CRAZY enough to work.Not to mention Brandon Aiyuk. 3/73.
Subtle.Whoops, Sorry — I think I understand. I have some posts I do not see.
They beat the proto-Lamar Ravens then got punted by the Pats in the 2018 playoffs.Was the last time the chargers won a playoff game when they beat the Manning Colts?
I remember that game - it was not expected.
"Don't look at me! Look at them! Their fault not mine !! Blame them!!"There's so much awkward in this quote
"We just didn't play clean enough football in the second half in all three phases," Staley said. "We didn't score the ball or possess it well enough on defense. We had far too many penalties in the second half that really hurt us and didn't play well enough in the red area, didn't perform well there in the two minutes at the end of the game. Just didn't play a good second half of football as a team."

I definitely remember that game too. Didn’t realize that was their second game.They beat the proto-Lamar Ravens then got punted by the Pats in the 2018 playoffs.

It won't happen next year with LAC with Payton.Ekeler had 2 catches for 8 yards. He had 107 receptions this year. And Mike Williams was out. And the Chargers were like, "Nah, let's use this Michael Bandy fellow, he's got promise, especially on an important 3rd and 1 play."

Do you know why Brock Purdy is basically Tom Brady but more handsome? He gets the ball to Deebo Samuel, George Kittle, and Christian McCaffrey. Turns out, using your best players is a good strategy. Yesterday Palmer, McKitty(who?) Parham, and Carter had as many or more receptions as Austin Ekeler. Austin Ekeler is in the running for offensive player of the year.
Josh Kelley had more than twice as many carries as Ekeler too. I am truly gobsmacked at this. How does this happen?
Literally everyone picked them to kill the Pats. Then it was 35-7 at halftime.I definitely remember that game too. Didn’t realize that was their second game.
"We did not score the ball" - that makes no sense - doesn't make sense in basketball when they say it, and less sense in football."Don't look at me! Look at them! Their fault not mine !! Blame them!!"
To be fair that poster was off by an order of magnitude, the bet was equivalent to wagering $140 to win $1.10, not $0.11That has to be an alcohol-induced bet (just like I'm more inclined to make a dumb purchase on-line after I've had a few beers). Even Jeff Bezos wouldn't risk 1.4M to win 11K.
The line was Pats -3.5, so enough of the smart money was right. Also, it's the only time I can ever recall a team hosting a Divisional game with a worse record.Literally everyone picked them to kill the Pats. Then it was 35-7 at halftime.
McVay is staying. McVay also has a pretty solid resume. He shouldn't be listed with idiots like Hackett, Kliff, and Staley. LaFleur shouldn't be, either. By that expectation, Belichick should be on that list if McVary and LeFleur are.Not really the best year for the young coaches:
McVay – shine comes off, team is incredibly bad, rumors he wants to leave (might still?)
LaFleur – misses the playoffs, Rodgers and him seem to have problems
Hackett – can’t hack it, canned before the season is over
McDaniel – starts strong, mismanages the Tua situation, wheels come off, p much backs into the playoffs
Kliff – team craters after (before, really) giving him and Murray extensions, now headed for at least one night in Bangkok
Staley – loses 27 point lead bc his team doesn’t score the ball or possess it well enough especially in the red area
It went from 7-7 to 21-7 in like 3 minutes of game time.Literally everyone picked them to kill the Pats. Then it was 35-7 at halftime.
Can't let this pass without some kudos.Kliff – team craters after (before, really) giving him and Murray extensions, now headed for at least one night in Bangkok
Holy shit. If you have 1.4m available to bet do you really need to do this to try to win 11k?Wrong. It does get much worse than that.

I’m always skeptical of these social media bet tweets. Like, how would one even get access to someone else’s bet? Someone at DK is unlikely to leak this. Would be incredibly sad, if true. But the math does check out.Holy shit. If you have 1.4m available to bet do you really need to do this to try to win 11k?
Doesn’t seem unreasonable at all.I had to explain to my wife this morning why it was only slightly unreasonable for our son to wake us at 11:30 or whatever to tell us the Jaguars had won.
Didn’t he say “steal a possession”? I took that to mean he thinks they’ll try something sneaky on special teams like a fake punt.Guys, the sideline reporter said Miami's special teams will be looking to cause a turnover.
So insightful.

Right? He wanted to share. That’s tremendous.Doesn’t seem unreasonable at all.
Was it @The Talented Allen Ripley who had to explain to his wife why they had to wake their kid up in 2004?I had to explain to my wife this morning why it was only slightly unreasonable for our son to wake us at 11:30 or whatever to tell us the Jaguars had won.
Even if he'd caught it, he likely would have been a 1/2 yard short.Bad route and bad throw on 4th down.
I was telling them to kick the FG.Bad route and bad throw on 4th down.
