NFL-Niners: DC Steve Wilks fired, per HC Kyle Shanahan -- nm - budice Feb 14, 12:10 8
- As a Seahawks fan, I support the decision the 49ers arrived at here. -- nm - crash davis 😺 Feb 14, 12:17 4
  - as a Ravens fan, boggles the mind that we absolutely trounced 50% of the Super Bowl teams on Xmas Day and just couldn't get it up for the other 50% -- nm - hollywood big shot Feb 14, 12:26 1
    - I've heard that happens to some men. -- nm - crash davis Feb 14, 12:35
  - Wilks has had an absolutely brutal 13 months. - David Feb 14, 12:21 1
    - He'll get a job -- nm - crash davis 😺 Feb 14, 12:24
- Nagy definitely got the best of him in the 4th quarter and OT, but Wilks' players were wiped out. -- nm - David Feb 14, 12:13 2
  - Also remember the timeout where Kyle overruled Wilks Defensive playcall -- nm* - budice Feb 14, 12:14 1
    - That's a great point. Shanahan looked livid, and Romo thought it was a terrible call. -- nm - David Feb 14, 12:16
“We want the ball and we’re going to win” still a thing apparently -- (link) - hollywood big shot Feb 14, 12:01 18
- I'm not sure why people are continuing to act like there's an obvious right or wrong choice in this situation. -- nm - Reagen Feb 14, 12:06 17
  - I think there's an advantage to knowing what the other team did before. For instance, if SF scored a touchdown, you know you're going for it on 4th - pmb Feb 14, 12:34
  - I disagree. KC had it right. You want the ball in your hands when you may have an opportunity to win. -- nm - Spawn Feb 14, 12:07 13
    - No, you want the ball first so that if both teams score, you've effectively won the coin toss in OT, just like always before this season. -- nm - David Feb 14, 12:11 10
      - You are still thinking as "always before this season". You do not want the ball first so what happens on Super Bowl Sunday does not happen to you. - Spawn Feb 14, 12:20 9
        
        But if the team scores first and then you score to match, you've just lost the OT coin toss, which is nightmarish in sudden death. - David Feb 14, 12:23 8
        
        As the ref said, "It is a whole new game." You defer at the beginning of a game. - Spawn Feb 14, 12:25 7
        
        But it's NOT a whole new game. It's sudden death with only three guaranteed possessions. By taking the coin flip, you can get two of those. - David Feb 14, 12:31 3
        
        It's simple -- I want a chance to step on your neck and if you manage to get back even, I want the 2nd chance to punch you again. - Will Hunting Feb 14, 12:51
        
        Lets table this. A year from now lets take a look at how more games played out. Maybe some will go your way. -- nm - Spawn Feb 14, 12:35 1
        
        They only changed the rules for playoff games, fwiw. -- nm - Reagen Feb 14, 13:43
        
        but it isn't a full game. -- nm - Beaker 🍺 Feb 14, 12:29 2
        
        you defer in a game cause you want to end the first half with a score and get the ball to start the second. -- nm - Beaker 🍺 Feb 14, 12:30 1
        
        End the first half with a score? Nice if it happens. You want to control your fate at the beginning of the 2nd half as it is the last half (unless - Spawn Feb 14, 12:32
    - same score gives you first crack at sudden death. There's also the shot at stopping them for the win. -- nm - Reagen Feb 14, 12:10 1
      - OT means tired Ds. -- nm - Spawn Feb 14, 12:26
  - yup. if they had gotten the TD and then stopped KC when they went for 2 everyone would be calling Andy a moron for not kicking the extra point -- nm - Beaker 🍺 Feb 14, 12:07 1
    - and if they did kick the extra, and the the 49ers kicked a FG to win everyone would call Andy a moron for not going for 2... -- nm - Beaker 🍺 Feb 14, 12:10
it’s space-based -- (link) - hollywood big shot Feb 14, 12:00 10
- Too bad we don't have some sort of... I don't know... maybe a space force to deal with it? -- nm - Spawn Feb 14, 12:04 1
  - all by design. in a few weeks, the American Fascist will start talking how he will designate Space Force personally to now combat this. -- nm - Jovian Feb 14, 13:13

    - Oh Im sure this scumbag will enter the conversation sometime once the DJT regime begins in full swing in 2025. -- nm - Jovian Feb 14, 13:29
  - For me, this confirms that DJT is clearly working behind the scenes with Putin. - Jovian Feb 14, 12:11 3
    - Working with? Putin plays 45 like a balalika, he makes a few suggestions, like *that* we pull out of our partner ship with the Kurds - zeitgeist Feb 14, 12:58 1
      - yes, working with. This now allows DJT to campaign on something no one else was ever talking about. -- (edited) - Jovian Feb 14, 13:02
    - it also explains why this maga-light Republican decided to play this as catching the Biden admin flat-footed. -- nm - Jovian Feb 14, 12:17
