This game showing how bad we were? (1 Viewer)

Team A beats team B. Team B beats Team C.

Therefore, Team A will beat Team C in the week 3 matchup.

That logic is undeniable and there's zero room for error.

????????????, I was never very good at algebra.......... lol

This is why coaching is so important. Browns should be 3-0.

I'm not buying that. Not for a minute.

You can disagree all you want, but it is simple statistics. Flip a coin. 50/50 chance either heads or tails will come up, regardless of any outcome of the any number of previous flips. If you do not believe that, then go to a casino and bet on any team that you believe has a better than 50/50 chance of winning a game, because of what happened in a game against a team they previously played against and lost to however many times. You will go broke. P

Bet that theory on a game and you will become destitute. You have zero knowledge of statistics.

Respectfully disagree.
We have teams we historically struggle against.
And some, that we don’t.

I do obviously agree that each Sunday is filled with the chance for new narratives. As is each season.

No problem. You can disagree. But I go by statistics rules. Two teams = one will win/one will lose. 50/50 every time. Unless there is a tie. Ties in football would be nill. No loser no winner. 50/50 still.

So let me add this. By your simple unscientific reasoning, you think LSU has what chance of beating Bama this year?

Please don’t take this wrong, I respect your statistic laden and ‘scientific’ approach.....
There are many ‘simple and unscientific’ variables that apply to an emotional and physical sport that is played by emotional and physical men. I feel you are strawmannirg me and I just don’t have the energy to go back and forth on this. You do you, I’ll do me.
And to your last, I have zero idea what LSU will do against Bama, furthermore nor do I care. ?
I’m going to simply and unscientifically step away from this convo. Football has many layers and is very nuanced to me, psychological heart and soul factor, desire, confidence....not black and white as you propose, but I can dig that you feel that way.
Simple Minded Unscientific Cretin out. ?
Who Dat.

How so? The coach cant go make basic short kicks himself. They took the Steelers to a tie. Seems like their coach is doing just fine.

For a coin, yes.
Because both sides are unequivocally equal.

Are you telling me when Alabama plays South Alabama there’s a 50/50 chance?

Absolutely not, because unlike a coin, the two sides are far from equal.

One is bigger, faster, better prepared, deeper, etc.

So coin yes, football games no.

This is a really good read about the Browns defense: Defense might save the Cleveland Browns

If Mayfield can play even halfway average, they're going to be a good team.

If Thursday was any indication, they are going to be VERY good.
Mayfield looked incredible in the game.

You've hammered Hue on many threads. I'm not sure about him yet. This season is the one to truly gauge him, IMO. He's had time to assemble his team after truly doing a strip down and rebuild. Positive results are now due. I have a sneaky suspicion he'll be good.
