If it make you feel any better, I don't think the Bengals (or Falcons, for that matter) have any real chance.

notsureifserious.jpg Even The Madness of Al Davis gave Kifffin and Shanahan 4 games. In this particular case, they had every opportunity to get rid of Ryan at the end of last season and didn't. I think he lasts the entire season. I wouldn't put a penny down on him being the coach at 5pm...

Judging from the summary of the Jets game, I may have been hasty in declaring the Raiders to clearly be the worst team in football.

I'm surprised I'm not seeing more chatter about the ending. It's so out of left field (and arguably contradictory to the ending we got minutes before), it almost does seem like a homage toof all things.

Pretty sure every year we see people say the Packers are 6-10 without Rodgers. (This is wrong - I'm not sure they win 4 games without him*.) Every year I see too many people say "This is the year Packers get knocked out of playoff contention!" Why, exactly? Does anyone (aside from Chicago...

I think whoever drafts firstshouldtake Clowney. I don't think he's the preeminent defensive player of this decade though. But unless Pryor plays to the level of Cam Newton when he gets his starts, or Cutler gets bounced from the Bears and says "Fuck it, give me my money and I'll go through...

Again, preseason, but it's not just that they are bad, its also that the difference between them and the next worst team (Jaguars? Jets?) seems to be the biggest in the league. They aren't just the worst, they are worst by the biggest margin. In fact, they are so bad, I am going to throw...

I know its preseason and all, but watching the Giants, I have zero clue who wins the NFC East.

I can't believe people thought Brady couldn't cobble together an offense if even we were his WRs. I'm sure spending a flyer on Sudfeld, by the way.

I know its preseason and all, but Chargers sure look like they are getting a top 8 (5?) pick. So what QB should I expect them to go for there?

Watching this Bears' OL brings joy to my dark heart.

Of course there are no launch games worth picking up a system for. Arguably the last time that happened was Super Mario 64... back in '96.That's seventeen fucking years ago. In retrospect: Should anyone have bought a Wii U for NSMBU? Should anyone have bought a PS3 for Resistance? Should...

And has been pointed out on half the internet already, Ozumat, the end boss of the Throne of Tides CAT dungeon, is a "Fiend of the Dark Below".

The NFL wants to take further steps. The NFLPA doesn't want to take that step, though much like Bountygate, the only result of their opposition is a higher chance of injuries to the members of their Union! However, the NFLPA has no rational reason to oppose testing, and the only excuse they...

I think that this year's sales will be a lot closer than people think in the US (assuming yields allow it). Most of the Xbros I know are still keeping with the brand. Once April or so rolls around, then we'll get the one-sided results you guys are predicting. I still insist E3 2015 will be...

I just don't see how Walt and Hank circling each other for 7 episodes is sustainable, even with the "Jesse is a problem / Walt tries to bump off Jesse / Jesse becomes new Heisenerg" arc playing in parallel.

I don't think the Eagles are doing shit this year.IFthe system works in the NFL (and we have no evidence it will, yet), Kelly doesn't seem to have the personnel for it this year. I think the tail end of the 2014 and the 2015 seasons will be interesting, but I don't expect anything out of this...

I'm just watching the Bengals game fulltime on ESPN. It struck me that I've never watched a preseason game before Hard Knocks turned it into their coverage; I wanted to see what the producers' manipulations are like.

Unless Dalton's leg literally rips off on the practice field, I don't see how this is going to be great television. I mean, it's a reality TV show, they can manufacture story lines based on if certain charismatic newbies make it or not (much like half of Miami's Hard Knocks season last year)...

Nah, Matt Brown was undrafted. (For that matter, Coleman was 7th round in 2012, Harrell was undrafted.)

It's possible that GB will use VY for defensive practice, but I truly think that the larger part of it is just that the terrible tandem of Graham Harrell and BJ Coleman scares no one. (Especially since the OL will be patchwork again, and Rodgers won't by lucky forever.) If VY is better, one of...

I just assume any long term fan of the Bengals (or Browns, or Jaguars) had long since turned to multiple drug use.

Well, the show has struggled to find uses for both characters. I liked the original idea of Chris, as a smiling incompetent Good Cop (whose actual work was done by Bad Cop Ben), but that was too mean-spirited for this show. Instead he just turned into this source of endless optimism... which...

Linder ended up as expected. Speaking of which, last week's timing on the chief's "Think Harder, Audience!" speech happened like clockwork, as we got our first reversal this week. I'm just about ready to dock the show points for making The Bridge "Killer" so obviously Tim Cooper (the tech...

At this point, even a Gamecube-level subsistence seems out of reach. Remember, the distinguishing feature of the system (the bottom half of a DSi as controller) keeps the console expensive (according to Nintendo, anyway), eliminating the option of a $99 budget box. As for software, you've...

And I think I say this every year: No, it's about average. ACLs just stick out since they are the easiest injury to get (hell, they can be non-contact, even) that knock you out for a year. And I also say this every year: Is there really no way to rejigger training camp to lessen these ACL...

I don't know about safe. MoP came out in Sep of 12, and since BC, the most they've gone is 25 months. (Plus virtually all of the Titan people are, in theory, available for work inside Blizzard.) If anything, an announcement at Blizzcon, a beta server starting that day (which every Blizzcon...

Now now, be nice. It's the only time the Cowboys' fans have to be hopeful until next training camp.

Dear internet (here and elsewhere): Stop being stupid. In both MS and Sony's case, it's not reservedforthe OS, it's reservedbythe OS. The only way to assume a game will run correctly along with one or more of the the non-game things modern consoles do (Twitch streaming / Kinect camera /...

Eli's situation is just too fluid for me to guess at. He's got three years left on the deal; he'll be around 35 when it ends. If the Giants get deep into the playoffs, sure, I see a couple year extension, but otherwise I see them sitting on it, especially if a new coach comes in. As to the...

Strikes me as extremely dumb. Theworstcase for making him play out the year is a Flacco situation - but they just gave him Flacco money anyway! (Note: I think the Falcons' championship window is closing - and a bunch of money tied to Ryan won't help matters.)

I wasn't expecting them to confirm (or name) the white ringleaders this early. I wasn't expecting the police chief to say "Hey dipshits, none of the story we've given you so far lines up!" either, but the internet as a whole isn't catching on. One thing I forgot to mention last week was the...

Well, it's the old argument of consistency vs. peaks. I don't think there were any outright bad entries this year; there were also no outstanding episodes. Bot Seeks Bot was good, but it was no Victor Echo November or Operation PROM.

The internet suggests that the made-for-DVD movie they had planned would have aired between Season 5 and 6, which also explains why tonight wasn't very finale-riffic. Instead of the DVD movie, we are getting 12 episodes for Season 6, with the first two being bigger in scope (though with this...

Is it just me (or The Killing guilt by association), but does this smell like the kind of show where every plot twist is going to be preposterous? The Bridge Killer is actually Immigration Batman, using his surveillance knowledge to get back at the cartels. It will turn out he killed neither...

Well, you usually get 4+ team turnover, but that's leaguewide; last year, 5 out of 6 AFC teams repeated, including all 4 divisional champs repeating. I'm the most vocal person saying the Colts won't be back, but it's not impossible that they beat out the Dolphins and Steelers for the last WC...

The Jets are only screwing up his development if he is able to go in and start Week 1. Which we have no evidence for. Then again, I am already on record as saying "The Jets fucked up." Either they had to have: No Rex and no Sanchez, with a full regime change. OR Rex and Sanchez and no new...

Some guy on The AV Club points out that "Where is my wife? I think the plane is going down." Monarch's parents died in a plane crash. Which means that (for once), Monarch is not related to a Venture.

Same here - money and keepers only work well in person, in my experience.

NFC North: Packers South: Saints East: Giants West: 49ers Wildcards: Falcons, Seahawks AFC North: Bengals South: Texans East: Patriots West: Broncos Wildcards: Ravens, Dolphins I think Falcons slip past the Bears to get the wildcard. At this point anyway.
