    NFL 2020 Season: Gravy Edition!

    Don't know why they were even last year. they were 6-4 at one point and in contention for wild card. Not having Jacobs late in the season is a big blow. They've built that team up pretty well. If some of those rookie receivers turn out decent when they already have Jacobs and Waller to lean...

    Carlson screwed out of the Norris, much like Mike Green years ago.

    Kinda lost steam well before disc 4, honestly. Soon as you left the first continent slowed down a lot.

    Most underrated and overrated movies ever

    I feel like the first AvP with the chick getting like baptized a "warrior" by the one Pred to fight the Queen was some of the dumbest shit I ever saw.

    Rip. Dumb thing is I dropped Reagor who was going to be a stash for me in order to pick up Campbell, likely I just try to pick up Reagor again. I might need to try to find a gem at RB, though. If Mostert is out I'm sitting on Drake, Ronald Jones, Zach Moss, and Chase Edmunds. It's just not a...

    Just got Sutton back in fantasy and down he goes. Burned a waiver on Parris Campbell, out indefinitely, and Mostert was my RB2. Granted I didn't have as bad a week as guys with Saquon or CMC I guess, but fuck man, I already lost Michael Thomas for a bit, too.

    They've definitely gone more that direction since ARR release with Shiva stuff, Tsukuyomi, and Ryne again taking on Shiva aspect with the Eden raid in this expansion. I don't think it is exactly the same, but potentially a somewhat similar concept. Then again we don't really have any idea how...

    Final Fantasy 16

    I got the sense that the whole "Shiva-Dominant" could refer to a person that the eikon has semi taken over/possessed to a degree. Which is definitely a theme in XIV so it's not that surprising this team might try to build off of a similar idea for a new story. As for whether that makes it...

    No, you made the original point about the human form of Bahamut, and when I asked, you identified the boy who is the fayth for it. Then I was curious if you felt all the surviving citizens of Zanarkand that Yu Yevon transformed into the fayth for Sin were considered the "human form" of Sin. It...

    They're relevant in that they act as the "fayth" for sin, the same way the boy is the "fayth" for Bahamut. Are you claiming then that the people at Gagazet are the human forms of Sin? Please, educate me on the deep lore if that comparison is incorrect.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    We know how they'll sell that bullshit. They'll just claim at release the focus is on going through the zone stories, choosing a covenant, and beginning whatever form of campaign those covenants have. The Maw will kind of be this side thing, with just enough in there to fulfill whatever early...

    That's not exactly the same thing, since technically the "fayth" for Sin were all the surviving citizens of the old Zanarkand that Yu Yevon transformed, no?

    Is that lore twisting a bit to equate the fayth of Bahamut into Bahamut itself?

    They were basically just things you'd get at each new temple (in 10). Frankly outside of a few overdrives, your party was stronger than the summons, anyways. I've played them all, pretty sure you are misremembering Bahamut having any human form in X. Many people think Stormblood was the...

    Any word on how bad Mostert's injury was? Still trying to figure out how I'm going to lose by 30 or 40 in fantasy given I had Mostert, Calvin Ridley, and Jonnu Smith.

    Except now the M+ in SL will be lower than Heroic, not just mythic. Also was there a cap on the titanforging early in BFA where it stayed below mythic level?

    I mean, the magicite part pretty much IS integral to the plot. Phoenix stuff was more of a side quest, but it was Locke's major story point within the game, so, yeah? I don't know exactly what you mean by one appearance characters then you use their powers, or Bahamut's human form in 10? 10's...

    Final Fantasy 16

    Shiva and Ifrit are the first to actually sacrifice themselves into magicite, thus introducing the concept to you for the rest of the game. Phoenix allows Locke's old love to come back/wake up to talk to him and let him move past that old pain.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Actually given a lot of the raid loot was shit in many cases, and with Titanforging, a good part of the expansion people were getting loot from M+, no? Plus the fact you can just keep grinding M+ runs until you get good drops.

    A lot of Lamar's stats came after the game was quite lopsided, though. I remember a lot of Ravens fans talking about how they lost because they abandoned the run against the Titans, pointing to Lamar's pass attempts number as their evidence. But the vast majority of those passing attempts came...

    Baldwin played through 2018, and they drafted Metcalf last year. Lamar Jackson has had John Brown for 7 games (he's not better than either Lockett or Metcalf, mainly just a downfield threat), along with the shambling corpse of Michael Crabtree for 7 games. Other than that he's had Willie Snead...

    I don't really think he had better pass catchers overall. Frankly you take Lamar off that team and leave Flacco on it another year and a half...they don't win 6 games. Still think Wilson is better overall, he's done it for longer and has actually done ANYTHING in the playoffs, but it's hard to...

    Not saying I'd put him over Wilson. And it's more a season and a half in which Jackson has gone something like 21-3 in the regular season as a starter. Led the league in passing touchdowns and smashes the all time rushing yard record by a QB.

    Wilson is in a short list of 4 players that could be considered "best in the league" in my mind currently. Mahomes, Jackson, and Donald are the others.

    If Robinson can be had for just a 4th and a conditional every team in the league should be calling.

    NFL 2020 Season: Gravy Edition!

    I gotta be honest, on a real team with a good QB/offense? I think Robinson would basically be a Michael Thomas, maybe a slightly lesser version of him. No reason he couldn't catch 120-130 balls and 8-10 TD's for like 1300-1400 yards. You look at what he did last year with as bad of QB play as...

    I saw stuff about the opening game having reduced numbers, but was surprised there was any real news about it. Literally the first time ever we've had football on at the same time as the NBA and NHL playoffs in history. Not sure how big of numbers all of those pull, but I'd bet the lack of a...
