I feel like they should have pulled Rosen at some point. That was just needless. God damn I wish I'd burned my waiver on Denver D in fantasy.

Oddly enough I actually drafted him like last round to have as a backup to cover Brady's bye later in the year or as potential trade bait if he came back and lit it up. Been sitting on him.

Gamble paid off. So my league is very QB weighted in its scoring. 6 points for passing TD's, bonuses for 40+ yard completions/TDs, even .15 points per completion. Trying to figure out whether to start Brady @ Chicago or Winston at home versus Cleveland. Obviously Winston against Cleveland...

There's a few other variants, in that some players really value the high fantasy over any of the tech/steampunk/modern elements. Also those that enjoy characters with more defined class roles versus the entries where you can largely make any character into any class/job. Personally neither of...

I think it's more some of us like to troll you with him. Aside from that, Jake Plummer has to be the most "name who doesn't belong" that high on that list, no? Maybe Kerry Collins?

Something must be wrong with that list. I see Jake Plummer above Tony Romo. Gotta be fake.

There were about 21 seconds left, it was just 4th down. Also they were on the 24, not exactly a hail mary.

That game was from the Divisional Round a couple of weeks before that Super Bowl. I'm pretty convinced nothing will make Ambi do that unless Dak somehow won 3 SB's in a row or something.

You guys make it so much fun.

Absolutely, there's no doubt what would have happened if Tony Romo had played the Giants in the playoffs that year and had a chance at a late game drive to take the lead. Greatest ever.

We seem to be a little on cruise control. Although again, I'm not going to worry until we actually get on a regular schedule that isn't back to back, 3 in 4, or on 6 or 4 days of rest which allows rust. I don't fault too badly on the first Ovechkin goal even , Stoic. I don't think anyone...

Can blame Wrath for this, no? Not release Wrath, but whenever they just went to the rotating 2 tier token system.

Lundqvist earned that one point, that's for sure. That save on Carlson on the PP...just got his glove on it enough to send it wide. Wanted Ovechkin to get the hatty, fuck the crossbar.

I can buy this. I think there is basically 0.000000000000000000000001% chance they stop Lynch 3 times from the 1. Better chance of Wilson fumbling the snap or something. Although given the circus crazy catch that got Seattle inside the 5, maybe the Pats were owed not having one of those crazy...

Genj I feel like you just remembered I was DC sports fan and not some Pats/Brady nut hugger. Don't hate Ovechkin hoisting the Cup. He earned it. Since Brady beat Seattle and Falcons in SB coming from behind wouldn't that still give him the edge over Ben? I'll absolutely grant that was Ben's...

@StoiCynic if you're watching but skipped intermission Pierre just interviewed Jake DeBrusk and ended with the creepiest shoulder grab ever. Have to wonder how many players actively hate having to stand that close to him.

Haven't had a normal schedule yet. Opened with back to back games, then 6 days off, then 3 games in 4 days, followed by another 4 days off. It'll be nice when we get into those every other day stretches finally. Lundqvist has actually played pretty well so far, Ovechkin just doing his thing...

Fair enough. We can all agree if Tony Romo had been the QB in all those situations his team would win every SB 60-0.

This might be true, if I wasn't just using the end of that game as a small example towards the larger point of him being "carried" by his defense in Super Bowls. 2001: Game winning drive (after defense allowed a 17-3 lead in 4th quarter to end up a 17-17 tie with 1:30 to go) 2003: Game...

Fuck outta here with this shit. To be wrong you'd actually have to prove one of your "points"...that he either got carried by his D for a bunch of Super Bowls, and that he's in no way potentially a choice equal to or over Montana for that 1 game winning drive. When the guy has literally done...

Happened twice against the King of Derp. Not solely blaming them as the only reason, but if we give them all the credit in other games where the offense still pulled their weight at the end to win SB's, we can point out when the D did not get the job done late as well. Holding them to 3 points...

I'm not so much "blaming" their D just noting if we're propping them up for carrying them (not so much you making that statement, mostly Genj) to titles, we can certainly point out another chance for them to win one in which they failed to do so. It's not silly to describe it as "when they...

Not sure how this relates other than to note that the Bengals defense can't be given credit for carrying Boomer Esiason to a Super Bowl win just like we can't credit the Pat's D for doing so wit Brady in '07.

We've gone over this a time or two before I think. It's not discounting the other 57 minutes at all, but when the Pats needed a scoring drive to either tie the game (FG) or take the lead (TD) they got the TD. When the D needed to only prevent a TD, they weren't able to pull it off. If we're...

I mean...he hit Moss in the end zone to put his team up 4 with under 3 minutes to go in the Super Bowl. Of those players you listed on D: Bruschi, Seymour, Wilfork, Vrabel (and Seau on that team)...couldn't hold the fort for 2 minutes 42 seconds. If they carried him to other Super Bowls, they...

Jay Gruden the new Jeff Fisher? Redskins record last 2 games: 1-1 last 4 games: 2-2 last 6: 3-3 last 10: 5-5 last 12: 6-6 last 14: 7-7 last 20: 10-10 last 33: 16-16-1 last 37: 18-18-1 last 57: 28-28-1

Honestly...I don't know. Literally aside from Philly managing to force that fumble last year, I would have bet my life Brady would have driven them down for go ahead TD. If they'd had more time where they didn't have to hail mary it I would have bet he would have driven them down for TD and 2...

This is why I was stuck on Montana still being the greatest for a long time. His impeccable record in Super Bowls, and his play in the playoffs and in the SB's. Sure, Brady had some good defenses. You mentioned Bruschi, I remember in their first loss to the Giants after Brady hit Moss in...

On the viniateri kicks...even if he missed either or both, those games would have just gone to OT, where Brady potentially could have won them anyways. Also he's handed his defense leads with under 5 minutes to go twice that resulted in losses in the Super Bowl. He could have won a couple more...

Best career achieves: Brady When Rodgers plays at his max level, I've not seen anyone better at QB. Simple enough?

I've said it before...Tom Brady is the Goat. Aaron Rodgers at his peak plays QB better than anyone I've ever seen.

Kyle Shanahan over there arguing with an official about whether his mix tape is fire.

They need to fix that run D, though.

Hopefully Ovechkin isn't done yet.

I would love to see Matthews step up to challenge McDavid as King of the new gen.

Thought we controlled play for long stretches, especially in 2nd period and parts of the 3rd. Andersen played great, couple unlucky bounces for Holts. Toronto is legit though, not trying to take anything away from them.

Well, Leafs certainly got every bounce they needed on their goals tonight. Too many missed chances by us. Oshie and Vrana had about 3 chances each to tie it up at 3 late that went left wanting.

Dalton basically used to be right around the line for "average starter" in the league. As I pointed out a few weeks ago though under Lazor as OC he's stepped his game up a little bit. That offense has a lot of weapons still.

Just ridiculous.

To be honest, I think they need a better O line before they draft a young QB to take over. A lot of Barkley's yards come from individual monster runs he breaks, because he doesn't get the blocking he could get and has to create his own space...as you noted, as well. In this case, if they...
