2010 Reidles Predictions

OK. Last year, I was pretty good on the key issues. I try again.

Tubbo will not let Kolb run a 2 minute drill and some of the diehards will have to finally recognize that Reid is the cause of ineffective 2 min offense.
Record against teams with better than 500 records will be something like 2 and 6.
Record against sub-500 teams will be 6 - 2.
Final record 8-8.
McNabb will have more successful no-huddle drives than Kolb.

High level prediction: the same geniuses who pit together the horribly awful team that needed to be rebuilt this year - although it was concurrently a GREAT team - will fail to reach conference finals this year. And next year. And the year after that.

UPDATED May 2, 2018: I was wrong. 10-6 record, which was enough to win a shtty division. 5 wins against teams with records of 8-8 or better (including 2 vs. Giants), meaning 5 wins against sub-500 teams. Only 2 losses vs. good teams, so 5-2 record against good teams, shattering the statistical trends of the big tomato. 

HOWEVER...

In 2011, the team went 8-8. They registered 4 wins against 8-8 or better teams, but since 3 of the 4 were against 8-8 teams, this is worse than it looks. 6 of their 8 losses were against 8-8 or better teams (one 8-8 team). So they were very, very close to the prediction for 2010. 

AND THEN...

2012 was the merciful end of the fat man's reign. Good riddance and long live Doug Pederson!!!

Draft Horrors

Seriously.

Bad.

But as you look at the photos of the wretched affair, you might get the feeling that most of the participants are literate. Rest assured, the material apparently being referenced by the lig owners in the pics is all cartoons and porn. None of these imbeciles know what's going on in the world of the NFL. 


This is ridiculous.

Everyone else sucks
