Double-bunner? So we get not one Christmas cinnamon bun but two?

Wow, that was probably the longest I've ever stayed with a futból game...lol Probably the first goal I ever watched live too! I was surprisingly entertained...Although I still can't stick with it on a regular basis, lol But the stakes (and a little bit what was going on politically) made it kinda thrilling!

Not to mention that's as long as it's been since the first Avater. Last time that movie came out we had epic Dec and then snowmageddon...Avatar comin out in a few weeks....redux?

Hey thanks for the explanation! (Btw did you mean to put this in the banter thread? Lol) Will certainly check out the links when I have time

But isn't it even more than just blocking with Ninas? I thought another reason were also problematic because of having little to no STJ...and more NS interference. That element isn't as problematic in Niños, is it? Also, I'm still trying to visualize how 1995-96 worked...was the blocking so strong it forced everything under us, or?

So sorry Mappy. Sounds like awful timing. When's the dance recital?

Yuck...hard to avoid gettin' sick with something this season. Get well soon, mappy

Hey I dissed myself in the process, so...lol But upon further review, I guess it can sound a little offensive to make a "this generation" comment...as it can be seen as an overgeneralization. Although it's a bit of a gray area, as people often will just talk and joke about generational differences all the time! Attribute not being able to just disagree and move on as a a symptom of our generations just due to social media and the pitfalls that can come with it. (Btw I'm not saying you are...you strike me as someone who can stay above it. But there are plenty of others that have issues--as a whole we gotta learn how to disagree better)

Good I'm honestly regretting I said anything at all, really. Just quietly disagree and move on...(goes against the grain of my generation and younger, but it's more peaceful nonetheless) And...there are people you learn not to argue with either, lolol

I'm allergic to equations, so I'll happily defer...lol

I mean yeah ya can't shovel pattern...but it's hard not to like having multiple shots of it to try and get something

Yeah and didn't Pinatubo have like...a negative effect on our snow chances back then? I know we had a moderate niño around 1992 or so that didn't produce much, lol

Aw c'mon don't do me like that...lol It was not on purpose mappy...Ya made it sound like I had an agenda or something. I legit just misinterpreted and was being oversensitive as I tend to be. I'm a musician, we feel things more and sometimes that leads to misinterpretations (and defensiveness) in general. In essence...it wasn't your fault it was mine. But I had no agenda and wasn't looking to call you out just to prove a point.

You didn't say that...ya just called him a dope as a general indictment on him as opposed to specific to just this incident. But if ya didn't mean that I apologize--missed the nuance there. It was a dope (bad way) tweet...totally agree.

I never defended what he said though, lol I clearly said it was wrong. It was dumb and he needs to apologize (and probably will). You're making it an indictment on his character and that's what I disagreed with. Literally none of the nicest dudes in the league, lol

Well man around here you have to be. As Bob and a couple others have already alluded to...all we got right now is a potential pattern that might be serviceable. Then from there you wait to see if that materializes, then wait another week to see if anything pops up as it relaxes, then wait to see if what pops up actually turns into something to track...then see if that holds till inside a couple days, then.... So basically...a big lesson in patience, lol

What ya got against him personally? Not sure why folks hate on him as a person. I mean as a player that's one thing (everybody can be criticized), but as a person? If ya on hate him that might be your own issue, lol

In case neither of you have seen Blescher Report's Gridiron Heights epic comedic takedown of Dan Snyder and the Commanders...lol

Yeah it was just...crap that happens in Jacksonville, lol This loss didn't surprise me in the slightest, and if I gambled I woulda bet the house on the Jags winning, and made out big time, lol Because A) We only beat them every other time--been that way since 2008. We won last time, so...yep, lol Not to mention we just struggle against Jax for literally no reason, haha B ) I figured our offensive struggles of late weren't gonna get much better this week and probably cost us (and I felt that turnover deep in our own territory comin' a mile away, lol) Overall this game just had a "yuck" feel from the git! BUT...I think this loss is what we needed. Don't wanna ride TOO long of a winning streak before the playoffs anyway (save it for December/January). Sometimes a little bruise before the stretch keeps ya humble. This team is still gelling, imo. And this is still a decent setup for the team to potentially start peaking in December!

You don't know about Lamar. He'll probably apologize later like he did after his Twitter Beef with Pollard over the summer. He's better than that and he'd be the first to tell ya.

When it comes to the Ravens and Jacksonville...we beat them every other time! So we won last time...so I wouldn't be surprised if we lose this time, lol

2010? Should we be concerned, or is our collective ptsd from that year making me biased? Lolol

I got halfway there in Sept...officially backed off me gloom and doom then, but for right now I'm not gonna change mine either, lol (I didn't make an official guess in the thread though...woulda said 15-18" but ehhh I don't know!)

I feel like to closest thing we had to a Dec. 5th scenario I think was like 2017? Whatever it was it snowed about 1-2 inches here, it came earlier than expected...and I had to drive home (including on the highway) from a gig in it...and it was frickin' epic and my first time driving in powder, lol (mom was in the car and she wasn't having fun) P.S. The only time a muggy Christmas is acceptable is if a HECS follows in Jan/Feb a la 66', 83' and of course 16'

Guess all we can do is wait and speculate till we see what shall precipitate But seriously, I've been wondering if the nina (finally) being on it's last legs could help us a little...or perhaps be slightly easier to overcome with favorable ao/nao. I mean yeah enso state is obviously a broader feature...but I am curious (with measured expectations of course)
