    I wonder what % of that 700k simply had no idea it was a back to back episode premiere. I'm sure we all laugh at that idea...but when you really think about it you realize there very well could be a % that is that dumb/didn't realize.

    That was always my concern that Dorf was going to be in way over his head next to Ali.

    Could make the same claim about the Chiefs defense. if they played like they did last week, they could easily win. But I do agree there is a potential for this to be a pretty high scoring game that would be a lot of fun to watch.

    I do think Foles brings an element to the Eagles offense that Wentz (this year at least coming off the ACL) didn't. It feels like he pushes the ball downfield more. Jeffery seems to become the primary target whereas Ertz is with Wentz in. Not that both aren't great players, it's just a...

    My bad, that game was in 2016, so it was 2015 regular season. Broncos had 2nd best defense that yet (scoring).

    It's actually funny, Peyton started 0-2 against Brady in the playoffs (throwing 1 TD and 5 picks combined in those games), but won his final 3 meetings against him (throwing 5 TD and 1 Int combined in those games).

    To provide a little context, since his last road win @chargers in '06, he's only played 3 road games in the playoffs since then (up to now). The AFC Championship game @Colts in '06, in which he had his team up 21-6 at halftime, 28-21 going into the 4th quarter, and 34-31 with 3:49 to play (they...

    to be fair, I really haven't played many other classes at max level. I have a White Mage and Samurai to 70, but mostly through sidequest/beast tribe/daily hunts rather than actually playing them and getting true feel for rotation. Bard just always seems to have something to do, and the better...

    You basically explain what you're saying in the first 2 paragraphs with your 3rd. If you're already against it to begin with, that's just how it's going to be. If I'm comparing pure button pushing from Legion combat in WoW versus 14, I like the slightly faster pace of WoW's. But the look of...

    Gotta remember for a certain age group, Cowboys were the bandwagon team with 3 SB's in 4 years back in the mid 90's. Couple that with all the America's Team bs, and there you go. Yankees dominance around end of the 90's very similar, Bulls too during the 90's.

    Guess I'll have to disagree. Especially with changes WoW made to some stuff off GC, FF14 combat feels fine to me with all the off global stuff to weave in. Feels like you're trying too hard to downplay the visual effects as well. You can break down WoW's stuff to "lotsa particles" if you...

    You're surprised the North had that high a winning percentage? I know the Browns drag down the average, but we're talking about a full decade where Steelers and Ravens were pretty much playoff teams most every year, and/or the Bengals included in some of those years. South is way bigger...

    eh, lets not forgets Lutz missed a makeable kick that would have put Saints up 9 with under 3 minutes to go and Philly down to 1 timeout. With how onside kicks are now...you basically just force them to get it under the 2 minute warning and even if they score once it's over as soon as you...

    Also, Michael Thomas is a fucking stud. He's not as much of a deep ball threat the way other top guys like Julio/AB/Hopkins are...but anything over the middle and literal assassin on 3rd and 8-15.

    Yeahhhh, that was on Jeffrey. Feel bad for him, it happens, just happened to go through his hands right into the DB's. Saints' kicker should have just made the FG and same result, but sucks for Jeffrey. Welp, top 4 teams left.

    Well Rams can run like 1:28-1:30 just on 2 hand offs, then all the time from the punt itself. Basically Hail Mary only.

    Yes, as long as everyone here is realizing PI is actual pass interference, and not including illegal contact or holding calls which are the 5 yard fouls that occur before the pass is thrown.

    It's illegal contact that is allowed once QB is out of the pocket. But if pass is in the air towards the receiver it is then PI which is still a penalty.

    With this little time left...not sure it matters now if you go for 1 or 2 on this one. You won't have enough time to make any decisions to save you extra time for a potential 3rd time getting the ball.
