Ranking Divisional Round Defenses Article

[VirginiaCavs]

This has become a funny thread. Wonder what BAR will think when he reads through it

 

[jedi ninja]

Wait how is that an insult

Homely means unattractive.

 

[VirginiaCavs]

Homely means unattractive.

Crap my bad. I just met home-like. Cozy. „Wie zu hause“ in German lol

 

[jedi ninja]

Is homey really a word? Ly is a pretty classic ending

And yes, homey is a word. It means what you were trying to convey with homely.

 

[VirginiaCavs]

Words are tough!

 

[jedi ninja]

Words are tough!

Yep. Consider homie...has an entirely different meaning than homey.

Isn‘t a homie someone you feel at home with. Always said it to mean a synonym of friend.

Yes.

 

[VirginiaCavs]

Yes.

Then how is that meaning different than that of homey?

 

[jedi ninja]

Of the 5 people who have ranked the defenses, only LAC has appeared in the top 4 in all of them. The Cowboys and Patriots are in 4 of the 5 top 4s.

Then how is that meaning different than that of homey?

Homey means comfortable or cozy for surroundings/places. Homie is like a friend, specifically for people, not places.

 

[VirginiaCavs]

Recency bias possibly helps

 

[VirginiaCavs]

So when I make my homie homey in my home he‘ll become my homeslice

Or your Yag lover, either one. We don’t judge.

 

[VirginiaCavs]

...yeah I don‘t mind either if you have a Yag lover

I’ve been a fan of the cowboys defense almost all year. They’re above average at all three levels- I think lack of int’s/defensive tds might’ve skewed people’s perception

Good point.

 

[B.A.R.]

Means a lot



I someday hope to meet BAR. He’s the man. For any new forum member, he’s a must-read whenever he posts. Could be about sports, could be about life. Guy is tops. This place is very unique. I talk to many of you like I talk to my closest friends. Good stuff. Go Chiefs.

That's very nice, and thank you. Most definitely would like to meet sometime.

And yes, it makes the most sense for everyone to just list the teams in order. It isn't THAT much typing, stop being lazy.

1, 4, 3, 6, 2, 7, 5, 8

LAC
DAL
NE
IND
NO
PHI
LAR
KC

Cap and I the only ones who don't like Dallas I guess

He ranked them 2nd.

Huh he said 1 4 3 6, Dallas was my number 4 so I thought he was ranking them sixth.

BAR had Dallas second right and KJ third

I took your number and out them in order of my preference (left to right or up to down)

Right. Me too when reading Cap's rankings and everyone else's ::

He had them 6th

They were labeled VC's "4th" team -- DALLAS COWBOYS

Hence, this is why I believe he has them 2nd.

I guess it is subjective. I used the numbers he had assigned to them teams. For me, personally, it is easier to compare multiple rankings.

Obviously, the easiest way, is to spell out the team names.

Ohhhhh now I see what BAR is saying

Gotcha. It seemed to me that he was using VC's rankings and then assigning his own rankings. I thought you did the same, apparently not.

I used VC's rankings

And I assigned my own rankings from them.

I will say, I am not quite sure how anyone could have Dallas as the 6th best defense left of the 8 teams. That literally makes NO sense.

Riveting analysis
Better than my drunken posts , tho.

 

[KJ]

Well KJ used different reasoning I think

I took your order and applied numbers to each. Ie Dallas 3, Ind 4, Rams 5

 

[KJ]

And I feel homely right now after waking up. Breath confirms.

 

[jedi ninja]

Yep, so you did do it differently than BAR and Cap. The way you did it is the way I thought they both did it initially.

 

[jedi ninja]

So KJ’s rankings were:

LAC
NE
DAL
IND
LAR
NO
PHI
KC

 

[jedi ninja]

And Dallas joins the Chargers as being in everyone’s top 4.

 

[KJ]

Just to be clear, mine are situational and would change (likely) if matchups were different

For instance, Chiefs defense would most definitely not be last if hosting a divisional team that already beat them at Arrowhead as opposed to who I rank as the best QB in the league at the moment
