    NFL 2016 - <whatever Tony is doing>

    The bigger pickup was probably Schwartz as DC. He flamed out in Detroit but his ability to work a good defense has never been in question. But yeah, it really looks like Philly's gamble to move up is paying dividends. For a year that was supposed to be a reset to purge the flavor of Chip...

    Gonna be a good race to see who comes out on top of the Home Field Advantage and gets the team that has to play the extra game to get into the Division series for AL. Rangers clinched last night and are currently up a game on the Red Sox with the tie-breaker.

    Won't know for sure until Oct 4th but I found this article that has different prices from an HTC source. So $100 more than the 6P at the lowest storage level for the XL. And unlike with the 5X, the Pixel will have the same specs as the XL, which accounts for the bigger bump in price. Not...

    Peterson to repair torn meniscus, miss several months Looks like Emmitt's record is going to remain uncontested. AP had a decent shot at it before the ACL and suspension, slightly less of a shot but still somewhat reachable afterward, but this is pretty much the nail in the coffin. He'd have to...

    Some people will still go for it though. Personally I think the 1080 is more than enough card for the moment but some people always need that little bit extra. When it comes to that, price isn't a factor, it's always performance.

    Who's salty? Sure as shit ain't me. I'd be saying the same thing about Dak if he'd faced off against the Browns and Bears and looked that good. Hell, the Bears are this week as it is. I fully expect a standout performance. Doesn't mean I won't add on, "... against the Bears" when talking about...

    Just trying to apply logic to Convo's statement. I mean, it's good that he feels that way about Wentz, but a little brake pumping is needed here. We're talking about looking good against two teams heavily favored to finish with a top 5 draft pick.

    Like I said, you didn't draft a potato. Given what the Eagles had to do to get him means you're currently living in best case scenario territory. There's still 14 games left against competition not named the Browns or Bears though so I'd hold off on the anointing oil for a bit. Two games does...

    Bitch please. 21/34, 190 and 1 TD isn't "dominating". At best he's just doing his job, which against Chicago ain't that hard. Congratulations, you didn't draft a potato.

    At least he hedged that comment with "almost". But I agree. Like I said, five Washington receivers/tight ends had receptions of at least 25 yards. That's just pathetic coverage no matter how you try and frame it. You mean they haven't given up yet? People here are already looking forward to...

    NFL 2016 - <whatever Tony is doing>

    Probably the thing that impresses me the most about Dak at the moment (out of a few things really). Except for the one throw that got knocked up in the air for a second, nothing I saw was put in a spot where the defender could make an attempt at the takeaway. He had a couple of those in the...

    If he's okay with pushing close to his max then getting the 500GB Samsung EVO SSD is more than worth the extra $35 it'll take. That and bump the 1060 to a 6GB version for another $30. Between the two you can last a bit longer before needing to add or change anything else. As a general rule of...

    NFL 2016 - <whatever Tony is doing>

    Nah, they didn't play all that well overall. Too many big plays allowed. I'm going with the idea that Cousins is coming back down to reality and played just bad enough for Dallas to make a couple of stops when they needed to. Shit, five receivers or tight ends had gains of 25 yards or longer...

    I'd like to counter your assessment but they were handed two extremely short fields and could only manage 6 pts. There's the difference in the game right there. Dallas D surprised me. I mean, Cousins helped a bit with his long ball misses, but they did a good job toward the end of the game. At...

    If the job is good, pays well, and has normal levels of "job stress", then "fitting in" falls down the list of shit you worry about. I certainly don't "fit in" around here but I like the other things about my job so I don't worry about it.

    Schwartz ran a completely different defense and it fit with what they had built for a few years. Rex's system is nowhere close to the same so I'm not all that surprised. Granted, as a coach you should fit the system to the players, not the other way around, but very few coaches do this and when...

    Pretty much this. A comparison I did on my most recent app rewrite on one of the most commonly used functions saw her code at ~210 lines and mine at ~45. It's like that everywhere. Clearly not a believer in concise and readable code.

    All the apps I work on was originally written by an Indian. One of our apps is a clone of a repo I found on Github which was then built into a library, then had said library added as a dependency and was subsequently reskinned to make it look like one of our apps. It's like a feedback loop of...

    Counter for JG argument. He took over a 1-7 team and without Romo managed to go 5-3 down the stretch. And even though his next three years the Cowboys were 8-8, they were in the race for the division until the very last game while also working to rebuild and restructure an aging roster. Then...

    Not happy with the outcome, obviously, but I think it was a good game. Not getting the run game going was a killer, can't have anyone throwing 45 times in a game and hope to win, let alone a rookie. Giants came prepared to sell out to the run and make Dak beat them. He almost had a chance if...

    I'm hanging my hat on Zeke. I think he has something of a chip on his shoulder for all the talk about how Dallas shouldn't have picked him. I'll say he has over 100 yards on Sunday and a TD. Not only that but Morris will get about 50 yards as the Dallas O-line makes the Giants D-line look like...

    Convo's not wrong in wanting more work with the first team, regardless of whether or not the defense is trying to kill him. Most offenses work better when there's familiarity involved and even though Wentz is a rookie, extra rep are extra reps. Instead he's being thrown into the lion's den with...
