Well the good ole Cleveland Browns finally snapped their very impressive losing streak...but not by winning. Poor SOB's. But at least it prevented that nice record of 18 straight losses. Pretty much all the games I thought were mediocre. Shame my Cowboys lost. Barkley looked pretty good despite his team taking a loss as well. I'm a much bigger fan of NCAA, but it's time for some NFL.

My Texans lost their first one to New England. I was actually glad it was a decently close game. The score made it seem closer than it was though. The only good thing I took away from this week was I destroyed my co-worker in fantasy football lol.

The Browns continue to find ways not to win. They had two really good chances at the end of the 4th and overtime. But they always seem to just mess it up with bad play.

It was funny how happy the local Browns fans were with that. I thought they might be sulky in getting so close yet not winning the game.

What was with that dive play to start the possession at the end of the fourth quarter?  No timeouts and they ate a big chunk of the clock for a four-yard gain.

It was amazing that GB came back and won their game against Chicago.   The Bear's defense looked good and they were in complete control when I went to bed with Aaron Rogers on the sideline.   I missed an exciting second half.

Me to.

I had Devante Adams starting last night and was really ticked when I had to go to bed.

It's great to wake up to 19.8 points.

Too bad for the Bears - they seemed in control for most of the time I watched.

I didn't stay up to watch the end of the game, but I saw enough to "know" that the Packers were going to win. Once Rodgers took control of the offense, the Bears' pass rushing was effectively nullified.

Lol, another one of my co-workers is a HUGE bears fan and another is HUGE Packers fan. They bet breakfast on the game....the bears fan didn't show up until almost lunch 🤣

Being a Green Bay Packer fan since before they hired Lombardi, it was a spectacular comeback.  Even if it were more hoped for than expected at a point in the game, it will become a game remembered both for Rodgers and the lore of Lambeau field.

Hugh Jackson (Cleveland) really needs to lose his job. They didn't even try to win that game in overtime after the interception. Ran the ball up the middle and got the kick blocked. They could have thrown it three times and still had time to kick a field goal. Terrible play calling all day long. But that's pretty much the norm for the Browns the past three seasons.

Might not get this excited again this year. :-$

Well if he throws a good number of interceptions, has a low completion percentage outside 10yrds, he'll be pretty consistent with what he is.

Then he destroyed the Lions. Thank goodness Patricia is no longer with the Pats. He has a tendency to make mediocre QBs look great.

I'll reserve judgment until he gets a season or two under his belt. The Jets and their fanbase have a tendency to overhype QBs. Remember when Mark Sanchez was the next Joe Namath?

    • You are not wrong. The shaft and the head together both contribute to the performance of the club. I'd also suggest that they contribute in different amounts depending upon whether we are comparing a driver, an iron or a wedge. (We could argue all day about how much is the head and how much is the shaft... and I would enjoy the argument.) Having said that, in order for a youtuber or anyone else for that matter to completely optimize the club and then hit it in comparison to another completely optimized club is all but impossible. Just one of the many reasons why all club tests should be taken with a generous pinch of salt.  Not only that but even in robot testing there are variables that are outside the areas of control. I've personally been lucky enough to witness robot testing first had. It's fascinating how non-repeatable the results can be. Let me elaborate. With an 7 or 8 iron the robot can land balls over and over again in an area the size of a kiddie pool. However, when the testers moved away from a 7 or 8 iron, the results got less and less precise. Interestingly it didn't matter if they went up or down the bag. With the robot hitting short pitches and even chips, relatively, more variation than full short iron shots. Similarly, long drives with the robot created more variation as well. This is without the effects of wind, variations in the surface and texture of where the ball lands etc...  In addition, this doesn't take into account possible bias, either consciously or unconsciously of the tester. The testers I got to witness (these happened to by Taylormade guys, but I'm sure it doesn't matter), confessed that they could influence the results if they wanted to. They could take two clubs and make either of them "win" with robot testing if they wanted to. They made to the point to illustrate that in their job they had to constantly make sure they were fighting bias and/or putting in double checks, but never-the-less when I now read about any testing saying X club is 7 yards longer, I think back to their statement.  So, if it's that difficult to get really good results out of a robot imagine how difficult it is to get quantifiable results out of a human swinging a club.  Here's a fun test to try. Hit your driver 10 times on a launch monitor and gather the data (You can do 20 or 30 swings it doesn't matter). Now group the data into 2 sets, the odd numbered swings and the even numbered swings. Look at your two data sets. I guarantee that one data set will look "better" than the other. Even though, it's the same person swinging the same club on the same day. But if you just happened to be testing a driver against your driver on that day, Even if you gather your data by switching back and forth between the two drivers you may get misleading results. I've done this test a few times in my life and it's interesting to see how the "odd numbered me" or the "even numbered me" always produces different results, sometimes one will win by a large margin.  In summary, I too enjoy watching reviews of the new clubs that come out, especially drivers. But it is information not data.

    • Something I’ve been thinking about. I watch a lot of club tests, retired and get up way too early, and there’s something I think in my opinion might be being done wrong. They might pick several drivers, could be something different, and use the same shaft so things will be equal. In my mind a shaft might be good in one club and not in another. Learned the hard way, had my best ever driver at the time, G410, and kept hearing about how great the G425 MAX was. Since I sometimes have trouble finding senior shafts we traded heads and the 410 shaft never seemed to work out in the 425 head for me. Wasn’t as straight or as long so I have moved on. Don’t think everyone was wrong about the G425, just think that combination maybe didn’t work for me.
