    2023-2024 NFL Season : Arizona's QB Search Continues

    Oof, that honestly hurt more than if the 49rers had completely blown us out. If the Packers had gone with the FG instead of going for it on fourth, held on to the interception, made the FG, OR didn't make a desperation throw when they still had time on the clock, at worst we would be looking at...

    Dominating the clock for this large a percent of the time isn't going to matter if the Packers only get FGs (or nothing) out of it.

    2023-2024 NFL Season : Arizona's QB Search Continues

    I've legitimately dozed off twice during this game. How the hell were the Eagles 10-1? Did everyone just figure out the new coordinators' tendencies and they couldn't adjust?

    I don't care if they are a divisional rival, that sort of playoff drought isn't good for anyone, Go Lions! (for next week and next week only)

    Oof, can the Packers score enough to keep the lead without anyone to keep CD. in check? We shall see.

    Cowboys doing their part to be the surprise winner of the Belichick sweepstakes, and the Packers will meet their destiny by getting crushed by the 49ers in the playoffs, albeit a week later than predicted? Interesting times.

    2023-2024 NFL Season : Arizona's QB Search Continues

    To be fair, your Buffaloes (and to a lesser degree Detroits) get the worst of both worlds, north enough that they're in the snow (and not rain) zone, while their storm fronts also pick up extra moisture going over Lakes Erie & Michigan, unlike the Minnesota and Wisconsin equivalents. Of course...

    2023-2024 NFL Season : Arizona's QB Search Continues

    To be blunt, both Bill and Pete are very old (they're already amongst the oldest coaches ever, and would top Romeo Crennell after a 3 year contract), I would expect them to go to teams that are close (minus a QB or so), and think we might get some surprising moves by the Kirk Cousins of the...

    Spider-Man era Dunst didn't do much for me as a teen, but I sure the hell noticed her in Melancholia, and spent the back half of that movie asking myself "Has she always been this attractive?".

    Having caught up on the episodes... I won't be watching this next season, barring glowing reviews from you degenerates. E.g. I loved when the script had NY cop protect the kid... by having him use the part of the car said kid was hiding in as cover. Also, I'm not super versed in ballistics, but...

    I honestly hope the Cowboys blow us out of the water, so we still fire Joe Barry and make it more likely the Cowboys are stuck in neutral with McFatty. Win / Win.

    What If...?

    There's no evidence any of this will matter long term to The Franchise, so its just the question if the rushed storylines work for you. That said, if Episode 1 with its Blade Runner vibe, plausible character mashups (Jude Law / Korg / Howard the Duck / etc. in a space setting), and mostly...

    So the Lions win their first division title since the eight division structure (and the NFC North) was created in the 2002 season, and will play their first home playoff game since Ford Field opened in 2001. Obviously, as a Packers fan I don't wish the Lions any luck in the playoffs, but that...

    When I saw the end of episode three, I thought "They aren't actually going to have a midseason arc where the audience is plausibly supposed to believe guitar guy could be a traitor, and not the only candidate to have hired the rest of the old team and/or gathered the data and/or hid the flash...

    I may have been multitasking at the time, but I have zero clue out of the flashback crew who died in the interim vs. is currently unreachable vs. wasn't mentioned (and therefore will probably die in the flashbacks).

    General Gaming News and Discussion

    Just a reminder that E3 served multiple purposes: 1) In the days when games were printed ROMs that took months to produce, publishers and retailers would agree in June to the number of cartridges to be made. With discs / digital, that lead time is far reduced / irrelevant, and they don't need...

    Fallout

    I hadn't paid attention to this at all - I knew there was some preemptive lore-rage about an NCR flag in a vault months ago, and that's it (and that's probably explained by it being a different opened Vault than the female protagonist, which the NCR treats like religious communes that the...

    As preposterous as I thought it earlier in the season, I can think of no better coronation for Love as starter... than the Packers to win the 7th seed and get absolutely obliterated by the 49ers.

    Even adjusting for inflation, that has to be the highest budget failure they've gone after, yes? Even when they covered Double Dragon on a BotW years ago they mentioned something like "This is too much of a real movie for this show".

    2023-2024 NFL Season : Arizona's QB Search Continues

    If the season ended today, the Seahawks would be the #6 seed in the NFC. I get that Geno has slumped back to earth (or, like Dobbs, people have enough current tape to gameplan against him), but fans wanting 70% of the coaches in the league fired every year isn't realistic.

    If all games were played on Sundays, any team with a bye would play one game in a 20 day stretch - 1 in 23 just meant they had a TNF game prior to their bye week. (I'm still of the opinion we should toss the third preseason game, start the season a week early, and add a second bye week, which...

    The Creator (2023)

    I was definitely underwhelmed - the movie starts off strong in terms of initial setting and effects, but falls apart more and more the further along it goes. First its realizing that it's just androids - I get the budget limitations, but this isn't a non-human civilization like The Matrix...

    I did not see the injury itself, but Bosa's reaction was not that of a veteran with a "questionable foot injury". Also the Chargers should be demolishing the Packers, are they that unused to the cold?

    It _should_ sting Feige when the only good MCU movie between GotG 3 in May of 2023 (which, now that I think about it, doesn't have a single character appear in it that isn't from Gunn's movies) and whatever theoretical movie in 2025+ might be good (maybe Thunderbolts in Summer 2025? Maybe?) is...

    Let me guess, they're a POC and/or woman with no track record of making action movies? Because that may not matter.

    While I personally wish more films were shorter (John Wick 1's only 1 hour 40 minutes, and frankly that could have been trimmed at the end), in general nowadays a super short blockbuster means they kept the action bits and the barest connective tissue between them, because everything that wasn't...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Yeah, this just strikes me as the current X.Y.5s will be the new point releases, and the current point releases will just be slightly inflated into new 'expansions'. Even worse, the quick blurb has them reusing Quel'Thalas for 'expansion' 2 and Northrend for 'expansion' 3, so who knows how much...

    Cyberpunk 2077

    AFAIK, there wasn't even a mention. The year ticker in one of the Phantom Liberty trailers lists 2079, which made many of us assume Orion would be set then, but now that we know the epilogue is set in 2079, I don't believe there's even any hints as to Orion's setting.
