    NFL 2019 Season: It's Tricky!

    I'm not totally sure he's right in that I still think there are plenty of guys who should be in that aren't in...although they definitely should probably have spots over certain others that are already in.

    Sorry, I thought it was implied that the obvious differences of some random child from a pre warp civ that they weren't supposed to be contacting at all and a well known warp capable species such as the Romulans (much like the episodes where they're trying to fix atmosphere issues, deflect...

    Star Trek: Picard

    This scenario has basically no similarities to Romulus being potentially destroyed, though, as others have noted the difference between how pre warp and warp capable civs are treated.

    Wouldn't make sense with all the episodes they were trying to help some civilization out from some disaster or another, or advancing a new tech.

    Wow yeah we didn't get that close up view on the Caps broadcast last night, pretty close. We just hung him out to dry once early in the game, and let the Habs push hard in the 3rd. We probably should have scored a couple more goals, but Price wasn't bad and a lot of the chances were from our...

    Star Trek: Picard

    That was one thing I didn't get about the RLM review. They acted like Data and Picard had no relationship to speak of and it was weird that Picard would have Data popping up in his dreams so much. I mean, I'll grant it was a much bigger thing with movie Picard (going back to save him from the...

    NFL 2019 Season: It's Tricky!

    Not totally sold on Young (at least not to the hype levels they're pushing for him), didn't perform as well against bigger competition. Also when we don't have a 2nd round pick this year and a lot of holes...if we could move back to the 5-7 range and add potentially another 1st and 2nd to go...

    Not the Caps best game (especially the 3rd period), but sans Ovechkin a win is a win. Maybe a bounce back game for Holtby?

    Yeah it's mainly the bigger rewards of the key or the 5.5k coalescing visions you get from clearing lesser assault that you might want to "bank" by sitting on it but if resets can't really do it anyways.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Yeah I guess it would only work within a week...probably. Or can you hold on to caches you get as the reward? Can't remember if the coalescing visions come out of chest or not.

    Can you not sit on some of the turn ins for the assaults to let you effectively float another key or two?

    Star Trek: Picard

    I thought even in that movie they noted B4 was a earlier/lesser model. Also I'm assuming Brent Spiner didn't want to bring back Data so his death had meaning. Guest starring in dreams/visions is one thing, but B4 would basically just be playing Data for all intensive purposes. Thought first...

    NFL 2019 Season: It's Tricky!

    Yeah clearly the points will never be touched, much like Rice's yards. I think the goal mark falls, though. I'm not as high on Fitz breaking the catch record. I just don't see two more ~90 catch years in him.
  18. Merrith

    NFL 2019 Season: It's Tricky!

    Yeah I doubt anyone is touching that one. Man, this is why I'm hoping Ovechkin really does challenge Gretzky's goal record. Basically doing it at least partially in another dead puck era, too.

    NFL 2019 Season: It's Tricky!

    Yup, bugs me when younger fans ask why people thought that record was so great. They just don't even understand how far above what anyone else had done it was.

    NFL 2019 Season: It's Tricky!

    This is why Rice's yardage record is absolutely silly town and I'm not sure it'll ever be broken (but with stats going where they are, who knows). I'd compare it to Gretzky's goal record, only that one might actually fall in another 5-6 years.

    I'm with @Sterling in that WR is strange. I know why TO got delayed but he should have been first ballot as well. I think Bruce deserves it for what he did over his career, but hopefully they don't drag their feet on him...as a lot of those stats will see company soon if the passing games keep...

    I have to say...in general I think the corruption system is fun in trying to figure out what sort of drawbacks you can deal with, more cleave/AoE v. single target options...but the whole RNG of it all is no different than Titanforging. Some corruption pieces are barely a blip effect wise...

    NFL 2019 Season: It's Tricky!

    It's hard for me to look at the passing yards and TD's and not realize that passing stats have exploded basically over the length of Eli's career. Matt Stafford will end up passing him in passing yards in all likelihood and that tells you quite a bit.

    Brees will break that next year if he plays, too.

    NFL 2019 Season: It's Tricky!

    I'm pretty much on this. He has those 2 Super Bowl runs but 0-4 all other playoff trips combined. Other than that riding a semi high all time passing yards spot (7th) that will surely be passed by others in this crazy pass era.

    Yeah it's actually quite a bit more coalescing a week. If you're doing the dailies about 1k more a day, daily visions going to 1500 is another 3k a week.

    Star Trek: Picard

    Actually felt like Picard broke the Prime Directive quite a few times, and grew out of the 60 year old boy scout persona as the series went on. Agreed on Doctor and 7 of 9 making Voyager what it was. That episode where he saves the ship with the other hologram (who was played by Andy Dick by...

    Star Trek: Picard

    This forgets all the badass stuff Picard did with the Klingons during the Succession shit. Don't get me wrong, Janeway and Archer are whatevs, and while I love Sisko eventually by the end of DS9, Kirk and Picard are in a top tier all their own (for different reasons).

    Andrew Luck was a top overall pick, fwiw. Tough to really rate his career among the all time greats, but he was very good when healthy.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    There's actually quite a bit more than just the daily visions if you're really trying to min/max the cloak first week and go through the talents for horrific visions. The catch up mechanic makes it seem like you won't be behind early on, but since you eventually need to save up vessels week to...

    It's only ridiculous when other guys do it and shut them down everywhere while Sherman calls himself the best. I agree anyone would take a guy that totally shuts down half the field, though.

    There's just no way Conor should be in an interim fight for a division he's basically only had 1 real fight in (I say real fight, b/c the original fight with Nate was at 170 just because Nate came in last minute and might not be able to make 155, and Conor wanted the rematch same as the first)...

    We've dissected the "run the ball more" argument for that game quite a bit. 42 of Jackson's 59 pass attempts came either in the two minute drill at the end of the 1st half or after the game went 28-6. Also the Chiefs beat the Ravens in the regular season, it's just as likely that if Mahomes...

    NFL 2019 Season: It's Tricky!

    Agreed, with all of it. It's not like I think Rodgers played great or anything like that, I was actually surprised his completion percentage was that high since it felt like he was under siege all game. Niners beat them down in the trenches on both sides of the ball.
