Can't please everyone I guess

Some stuff was there...but then I just watched the game and it didn't matter anymore.

It'll all be something to keep an eye on, just feels like they really are trying SO many things/systems there's no way it can all be polished. I'll be interested to watch alpha streams of it, though.

Holts pretty much a model of durability, so hopefully that continues. We'll see how it goes

Samsonov hurt somehow, won't be our backup for playoffs. Should be ready for start of next season. In Holtby we trust!

Actually a pretty well done video...I'm skeptical they can pull all that off he says in it, but if they do it could be something really amazing. Obviously it's a lot of broad strokes, but the non linear PvE endgame, and merging of PvP to achieve PvE goals sounds similar to Eve in some ways...

Really seems to set up for them if they want to bail on Darnold after this year they'll have probably an early pick, another 1st, and and extra 3rd this year as ammo to potentially move up to get Trevor Lawrence.

No question he makes their D better. Two 1sts and a 3rd for a 4th and him (and seattle sent a safety back the other way I think) is a lot, though.

Holy shit

Should watch them from his last two starts...and video of him working this offseason. He's a different player.

Well Ozzie is not GM anymore, so we still probably need to see a few more drafts out of DeCosta to really know. Ozzie trading up for Lamar in his last draft looking pretty good, though. I think Baltimore should be set up for the longest if Jackson can continue to develop and stay healthy, but...

Kelce, Hill, their RB's, their other young receivers...yeah I think KC/Baltimore/San Fran are all built to have longevity I think.

I'm not saying they are anything even close to a contender in the slightest. Probably not even fringe playoff team (even with the extra wild card) as our CEILING currently. But I think there is a small chance swapping to a 4-3 and getting some real coaching we'll surprise some people's...

Pretty much, although we also have Kyle Allen, as well. I know smith gets a lot of love from certain fans, but I didn't see much from him when he was here when it wasn't the defense or running game carrying us to wins. He never overturned a single deficit to a lead in 10 starts that year...

Hope he doesn't end up the starter for us. He could be a great mentor in the QB room, though.

I do agree that top WR's almost need to be like top strikers in soccer toeing that line between confidence and almost arrogance, because you have to think you can outplay anyone against you to really be that dominant. Predicting 7 Super Bowls, though? The only guy in the NFL who should be...

I know they turned Silverpine and Stonetalon into pretty good Horde stories with that revamp from what I heard. Never got around to actually going through them, though.

Might be some cause to think that will change going forward. I wouldn't expect too much noise this year, I think our ceiling would be 6-7 wins, but after a 3-13 season I would take that as progress any day. Main thing will be to see if all the offseason work Haskins has put in pays off, and...

Yeah I don't think calling Drustvar trash is fair. It had a cool feel to it, and the story was pretty solid throughout. Compared to somewhere like Tiragarde Sound, which felt like 4-6 different little bs stories.

Funny to read once again Nomura and others were having to pull Kitase and Nojima back from doing even more drastic stuff (like them wanting to kill all but 3 characters that you would get to choose on the return to Midgar in the OG). Not sure I'd say it being in full development qualifies as...

I was shocked when I skipped to the end of that video and Asmon had Stormsong as high as he did. Drustvar was pretty good, but other 2 zones for Alliance were a fucking slog for me.

On one hand...it's the super safe route, and I guess they get a year to figure out a hopefully decent new name without it being a rush job that we all know they would have fucked up even worse somehow. On the other hand...it's so fucking stupid that they literally had zero contingency plan...

How would you rate their BFA zones out of curiosity? I know most Horde hate their new city, but I kind of liked their zones going through them as Alliance but to hear Nazmir get rated so low kind of sucks.

I didn't mind the 70+ flying areas in Blade's Edge (and agreed Ogri'la was actually pretty good), but the leveling experience dragged so much I just can never think of it as a good zone. This with me even liking the whole Starship Troopers references. I just remember being so happy to finally...

Low key I think Borean Tundra overall was kind of bad compared to Howling Fjord, but it had Coldara subzone and that quest line that culminated with Lich King showing up briefly that somehow made it actually pretty damn good. I do agree Storm Peaks > Grizzly Hills, though. TBC Blade's Edge...

If I was ranking all the zones in the game that I've actually quested through, it would probably be my #1. It's hard to really compare to other zones, though, just because it really is sort of one of a kind. Probably would be easier to rank zones within each expansion they were a part of...

Suramar is legit top tier. Probably my favorite part of coming back near end of Legion was catching up and playing through that zone. Honestly all the crazy shit brother and I did duoing WQ's way undergeared in the actual city ninjaing around probably best time I had in Legion. Vash I get...

Those could be purposely trying to fake us out, though. We'll see. I don't know if they can tie up all of the Zodiark/Hydalyn stuff in this one patch, maybe they mean all of the backstory that led to both of their creations and which Ascian's soul the WoL is a piece of. Shit looks good...

Full development is nice, but still probably a few years out.

Really wondering how the break affects the Capitals. We started out so hot this year the first couple months, but we always seem to go through a down cycle later in the year. Not that I'd call us an old team, but definitely have some older stars that maybe benefited from the break. Dillon and...

Frankly Drustvar is the only alliance zone of the 3 in BFA worth a shit as far as story, etc.

Need a bit more shock value around here to expect table flipping.

It has some of that, but in different ways. Obviously when you're a lowbie in each zone, it's a little different (especially certain zones like Pagos where travel and unlocking the other port locations isn't possible at the real low levels. But while I was running with the NM train I was...

Granted I got to Eureka a little later in SB, but I enjoyed it quite a bit. Yes, it's a NM train and it's kind of very repetitive but having intelligent people spawning stuff around weather conditions and basically running a whole zone was actually a bit fun when you had competent people...

Might need something different from "baby steps" if learning means going back to stuff from 2-4 years ago that people liked while neutering it some. Tiniest light at end of tunnel?

It all sounds so crazy but I figured I'd pass on rumors so we could joke about it some more.

Just had someone send me some link of a "leak" talking about how Jay Gruden and Kapri Bibbs (former backup RB) were fucking the same young intern, and Gruden got so pissed about it he benched Bibbs and his backup missed the block that got Alex Smith's leg broke. Most of this shit just sounds so...

I'm sure any ref corruption would suddenly shift from the Pats to Tampa this year, right?

Some of the effects were powerful, sure, but mostly just rehashes? I guess it makes sense they wanted to move away from set gear for classes, since they couldn't come up with interesting bonuses anymore.
