    NFL 2019 Season: It's Tricky!

    He did make contact more than once with the receiver that play. Just feels like refs decide on the fly whether the defender is ever actually pulling at the receiver or not b/c a lot of these plays you see that same level of contact.

    NFL 2019 Season: It's Tricky!

    Scantling needs to know where he is on the field. Feel like he could have dragged the feet and still caught that. But all the Packers' receivers behind Adams are basically just guys with one trick each.

    Man ever since Arizona scored a good bit early last week, Niners defense has really stepped it up.

    Titans with Tannehill all year might be in a playoff spot. Mariota so trash.

    Was great defense to not commit an actual hooking penalty either, just nice stick lift/check to disrupt Oshie.

    NFL 2019 Season: It's Tricky!

    Weird to get a win, even if the Lions did all they could for us to get there. Haskins still looks super raw, not sure he'll ever get there. Did a few nice things late that might help give him confidence. Still a long way from being sold on his potential.

    As far as NHL goes, think you guys still were hungover from that Game 7 the year before.

    NFL 2019 Season: It's Tricky!

    I mean the 2 picks suck...but there's the 250 total yards and 3 TD's too. Way better for fantasy than actual team trying to consistently win games. Just don't know if Arians thinks he can turn off Bad Winston and only get Good Winston.

    Never seen a guy who does so much bad, along with so much good throwing the ball downfield. Never boring.

    Gotta give full credit for how you guys stayed on it in the 3rd. 2nd goal just sucked b/c we kill one penalty, then give another PP basically right away, broken play puck just sliding through the middle and it happens to get through right on Bread's stick with an empty net. But you guys didn't...

    @StoiCynic there you go, but kind of just one of those games how it went for us in the first 2 periods, then give up too many PP chances to start the 3rd.

    It's interesting to hear Milbury/Jones constantly defend Babcock by claiming wanting to play a more offensive style will never win a championship as if removing Babcock won't solve any problems for the Leafs.

    Only reason I had Sith Warrior story ranked 2nd is the master (well Sith Lord) you work for is just masterfully voice acted, really made that story feel great for me.

    Played Sniper at launch, Imp Agent definitely best story of them all. I'd rank Sith Warrior next best, but most of the stories are good and there isn't a bad one really. Also playing certain ones dark v. light side is interesting. The solo story stuff is great pre 50, I did a few of the post...

    We still play heavy, honestly Hathaway has been our biggest fighter this year if I'm not mistaken and he's out for 3 games now. I thought that Gudas might take over that role since Tom Wilson is now an offensive weapon and PKer that we need on the ice at all times, but Hathaway has been tough.

    Hey man, 4th game in 6 nights gotta take a bit of a toll on us. It's also 8th game in 14 nights. After tonight we only play 1 game in the next week so they might be looking ahead to bit of a break.

    @StoiCynic No Backstrom, Hagelin, or Dowd tonight. Had to pull off some salary cap shit to get a good bit of Hershey Bears up to field a full roster tonight for 4th game in 6th nights. Good chance for you guys.

    The Expanse

    Maybe it's because I've started reading the books (about 100 pages into book 3 right now, really not sure if I want to get into book 4 before this season or just go in blind) but it comes across as more than just needing dick.

    The Expanse

    I get they were never going to get the look spot on from the books b/c they mostly abandoned the extreme Belter thin look early on with the show...but she doesn't come across as the super capable tech person at all, even the chemistry between her and Holden feels pretty forced.

    NFL 2019 Season: It's Tricky!

    At least in Rivers case for a lot of games you can run the ball with Gordon/Ekeler a bit. Tampa really doesn't have that consistently at all.

    NFL 2019 Season: It's Tricky!

    Rivers can't help himself. Why hit the easy 10-20 yard stuff with tons of time when you can chuck it up to some random downfield and get picked.

    NFL 2019 Season: It's Tricky!

    Yeah the other thing is Wilson loses Baldwin this year, but Lockett has looked liked pure WR1 stud, and Metcalf has been contributing as season goes on. Mostly because Wilson is just ridiculously accurate on some plays where there really shouldn't be a way he's dropping these passes in there so...

    Unless Carolina really goes on a run I think MVP is down to Jackson and Wilson. If Panthers don't make the playoffs CMC can't be MVP.

    While the actual reveal was way too predictable for me, that episode was intense as fuck. All the actors killed it.

    NFL 2019 Season: It's Tricky!

    The only reason I'd buy a hip injury or something is that Trubinsky used to actually do some damage running the ball last year, and hasn't done shit this year. 421 yards rushing last year and 3 rushing TD's. This year? 54 yards in 8 games, no TD's.

    Last year was first full season where Brady didn't hit 30 TD's since 2013. On pace for ~25 this year coming into the game. His completion percentage has dropped each of the last 3 years, too.

    And what Howard did to get it into the defender's hands on that one was epic in a bad way.

    OJ Howard so garbage. Winston doesn't need help throwing picks. If there was ever a way to credit a receiver with an interception that would have been the play to do so.

    I know both teams were coming off games last night, so wasn't expecting us to show that much sustained pressure like we did. Give credit to Halak, although we hit some posts, too (holy hell that Carlson blast near end of regulation before Oshie tied it). Noticed we won a ton of faceoffs...

    Not much of a "take". Pretty much just the NFL's statement. Predictable on all fronts that both sides (along with other outlets v. Breitbart) would release the statements/slants they did. Still seems a huge nothing burger unless a team or two that was actually interested thought he was out...
