    2026-2027 NFL Season - The Vikings Are Looking For Their Sam Darnold

    If we're actually going to have a serious conversation about this: 'Black' QB really means Running QB in the modern era. Expecting Running QBs to have all the skills of a traditional pocket passer (accuracy, decision making, defense processing) AND the durability, physicality, etc. to survive...

    DC Universe (Batman vs Superman thread).

    They've signed a bunch of big names to this (and the profitability of the first was murky on its own), someone's gonna finish this. Whether this now gets folded into whatever comes after the Gunniverse is the question.

    2026-2027 NFL Season - The Vikings Are Looking For Their Sam Darnold

    I've been keeping track of Packers South as well. At the end of the day, nearly two thirds of your cap is spent in dead money, and your best player is now out for the year. You also _currently_ have the top Dead Money value for 2027, but its not a preposterous amount, nor are there any obvious...

    2026-2027 NFL Season - The Vikings Are Looking For Their Sam Darnold

    Guys, the Packers did it - they took on the undrafted first start rookie QB of a 0-3 team and barely beat them, requiring numerous fourth down conversions and turnovers while taking a number of serious / season-ending injuries. Will the Packers even be favored vs the Dolphins in Week 15? We...

    I'm not super familiar with it myself (obviously, everything's super-illegal / open to being sued, which makes open discussion non-existent), but in some cases they use AI to decompile the original game and recompile it with additions to the code, in some cases they decompile both games and...

    Digger (2026)

    I was limiting myself to 'awards-bait' releases to come; while mass-market films like Dune, Cliff Booth, Werwulf, etc. will get noms, I doubt that was a primary driver for any of those directors. Though I suppose I do have to admit that (not having seen it or heard any reviews) McDonagh's Wild...

    Also, since it is time for the Oscar-bait to start rolling out, there... isn't much left in terms of serous contenders this year? There's Jesse Eisenberg's The Debut, which is also about putting on a play. Martin McDonagh (In Bruges)'s Wild Horse Nine, which is also another (borderline)...

    Digger (2026)

    I was in the 'willing to see where the twist goes' camp, despite nothing in the shot structure / blocking / special fx up to that point plausibly existing in a play, but I don't think the backstage material goes anywhere. It just felt like leftovers from Birdman he couldn't fit in. At the same...

    It has its work cut out for it, trying to retroactively improve NLF, but I'm cautiously optimistic we'll get informative reveals between Whiskeyjack's sister, Mage with an Alias, and Leoman. Edit: Google Books (in the US, anyway) doesnt have it available until the 6th.

    All hail the Saints? Note that there's a difference between 4-game minimum IR and season-ending IR, and it sounds like both of them are on boomerang. Speaking of which, note that some orgs (like the Packers) have kept clearly-done-for-the-season players off the IR until three games are on the...

    I think there are a lot of bad teams that will end up with losing records, but very few doormats. Though a Titans with a banged up offensive line would rank towards the top. Speaking of which, given how bad the Dolphins roster is, I am not surprised they completely collapse when their exhausted...

    Do you not watch Perna's channel? He had the Chiefs going scoreless in the opener. If you're doing a bit, you gotta commit to it, even if it makes you a laughingstock in a room full of 'real' commentators. (Though we'll see if Grossi actually continues to 'predict' this Packers team wins...

    No, they just mention they weren't major fans, and felt like the movie was more watching someone play a Resident Evil game than a movie itself, which I would argue isn't really accurate - there were definitely shots and structure in the movie intended as homages to the game, but no one that...

    2026-2027 NFL Season - The Vikings Are Looking For Their Sam Darnold

    Well, it is very hard to predict the draft order - remember that there were FOUR 3-14 teams last year, so you can have a massively worse draft pick just from how the tiebreakers work out. But realistically, the Jets will probably be able to draft a QB they like AND trade away a pick for another...

    They should be now that the masses have realized just how bad these Packers are - they _might_ be favored vs the Bucs, Dolphins, and maybe the Lions at home for the rest of the year. Oline is very unlikely to be fixed in-season (no one is going to give Oline depth away), Gannon may not even...

    Actually, no - _one_ of the Dallas Picks goes to the Jets as part of the Quinnen Williams trade... ... except it looks like (from what I can tell) the Jets get the best pick Dallas has, meaning at the moment the Jets get: Their own pick. (Which could be high). The better of the Packers and...

    Yeah, when its not even his throwing arm, it is weird they didn't do something more long term last year. Because when your own body weight is enough to dislocate your elbow, it has to be fucked structurally. Not that the Commanders were realistically fighting for more than third place in the...

    Again, Malik Willis got the Miami job _because he kept having to play_. The Packers then did little in the draft to fix the Oline and then lost two linemen during the game. And since LeFleur doesn't control draft picks, I'm not sure why the internet wants him fired over it.

    I don't think it's an overreaction to say the Bucs look bad this year, and the NFC South is already down to the Panthers and Saints. Edit: Has any team (cough*the Dolphins*cough) ever locked up the #1 pick in Week 2 before?

    Eh, there was a lot of speculation that the Lions window has closed until they can clear out their contract situation. Would be quite a downfall if the NFC North went from having all four teams with winning seasons last year to at least two questionables (Lions and Packers).
