I know we always assume too much stability from year-to-year, but man, in the AFC, I just don't see anyone in the mix other than Patriots and Broncos, and in the NFC, I only see the Saints challenging the Seahawks and 49ers. Edit: Yes, I realize all my AFC hopes are pinned on two QBs that are...

The Colts will win the AFC South (which may be the net worst division this year), but man, I will be shocked if they make it out of the Divisional round. Edit: Yeah, the rules on defensive backs just seem preposterous this season.

This Oakland defense ain't bad! Too bad the offense is throwing all their effort away. Raiders / Jaguars fighting for first draft pick again?

I assume this is humor?. Dan Marino, Bernie Kosar, Jim Everett, Todd Marinovich, Shaun King, Ben Roethlisberger, Joe Flacco, Matt Ryan and Mark Sanchez all were in the playoffs as rookies before Dalton, along with a pile of other rookies that started but did not make the playoffs (e.g. Peyton...

I am kinda impressed with the Tomb Raider deal. Not only did Square-Enix manage to find a way to avoid getting buried under Uncharted, they even got MS to pay for it. Considering SE's sales of late, I didn't think they had that competence in them.

It's so rainy in Nasville its knocked out the feed for Wisconsin. Curious as to how done Peppers is.

I don't think they have much more of a chance than that between the Seahawks, 49ers, Broncos, Patriots, Saints, etc., but they have the Bears as last in the division. What the hell!?! Unless Cutler dies in Week 1, how do they not top the Vikings at least. And did I miss it or are we not...

I am virtually positive that under the old Collective Bargaining Agreement with the Players Union, money from regular seats was shared, but luxury suites were not. Unsurprisingly, stadium design tended more and more towards luxury suites as a result. (This was yet another reason why the NFL...

Except that link itself points out the much more relevant number, 11.4% - the percentage of Kaep's contract that is guaranteed. They can say Dalton's contract is very cap friendly, but I have an extremely hard time imagining it's 11.4% territory friendly. Yeah, that ~$20 mil a year is the new...

Weirdly, the usually* great Bill Barnwell just put up an article today on Dalton -A Bengal Under Pressure- spoiler alert, he's terrible against pressure. *Except when evaluating Eli Manning.

To be fair, Week 17 is usually a defacto playoff game for the Cowboys... that they lose. Edit: And as much as I hate to admit it, Cutler is likely to have one of his best statistical seasons. Whether that can still top the 52-50 scores every Cowboys game will devolve to due to their defense...

I'm in again; hopefully more than two of us are paying attention in II this year.

Yeah, the only real question is one that's familiar to watchers of brother Jonathan's TV show Person of Interest...

Err, do you not watch network TV? It was a standard season. That said, at this point they plan on airing that Agent Carter show in the middle (maybe Jan-March?) with few repeats.

Battlefield Hardline delayed until early next year. Your annual "Delayed out of Holiday Window" begins!

This one's for Araysar. I only get to do it twice a year, but living in Milwaukee, I get to put the Packers on the TV, put it on mute, and then turn on... the Chicago radio announcers. Then I get to listen to their enthusiasm fade, the awkward pauses grow as the score gets out of hand, and...

Wait, Giant Bomb hiring internet whining has even reached the FSR? This is mind bottling. Unless Fedor has decided to open up a new troll front by posting Video Game Social Justice Warrior materials...

Boo, why add the extra column/row? Especially since now they have every side on the thing. Who exactly is printing out the poster then, the White Walkers?

No offense, but why go through the effort when "people" like Wikipedia have already done it for you: 2014 in video gaming - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Though if you are going to keep your own list, I am positive Mad Max, Witcher 3, and The Order 1886 are all officially 2015 now.)

Pretty bummed by this. Not that he is directing one, but that he is directing two. How can Edgar Wright direct 9 now?

If we're doing the whole grade thing: MS: B (Well paced, no pauses to ask for applause for exclusivity deals, but very few console exclusives.) EA: D (Only positive thing I can say was it wasn't a Wii Music-reveal level disaster.) Ubisoft: C+ (Poor flow, too much non-game coverage, hamstrung...

It's the most wonderful time of the year. Not E3, the Giant Bomb E3 Talk Show!E3 2014 - Giant Bomb

Well, we don't know how Skyrim Zelda (Zeldarim? What's the nastiest sounding nick name option here?) plays, given that all we've seen is one cutscene, basically. While I wouldn't fight someone arguing that 3D Toad is the same as Super Mario Galaxy (or even Mario 64), that Smash Bros is...

It wasn't a game, it was just a tech demo. I believe it was eventually confirmed that it wasn't even made by Nintendo, they contracted it out. Clearly Nintendo prefers the look of - and/or already has the art tools made for - the Wind Waker HD style.

Much like Nintendo, you too apparently haven't heard of an open world game. Why am I not surprised.

It's the usual problem with Nintendo. If you have a gaming PC, unless you have the most dudebro of tastes, the console you should buy first is a Wii U. If you don't have a gaming PC, you would be insane to buy a Wii U, since the Nintendo made/funded games are all you will get. I just...

So, what was actually announced? You've got the Super Toad 3D World DLC/maybe standalone, Mario Maker which doesn't seem like a major title, and the Miyamoto stuff in 2016 or later. Edit: And they salvaged Devil's Third. Edit2: And the inevitable Kirby and Mario VS DK. Nintendo games are...

If you aren't watching this Nintendo stream, there are toxic levels of cheese right now.

Like most years, Nintendo has a low bar to win (at least among the hardware manufacturers). Like most years, I still doubt Nintendo manages it.

I do like that (outside of the Playstation Now mention), neither MS nor Sony mentioned the last gen systems, not even a price cut. What I don't like is the 2014 Calendar. Other than Little Big Planet 3, was anything announced that wasn't highly suspected for this year?

I honestly don't know if I would give MS or Sony the win. Sony high points were higher, but MS average was better. Given how 80+% of those titles were "console premieres", I'd have to say that, yet again, PC wins.

Yeah, they said Ultra on PS Now, and I don't see it happening either. Would think more like June '16 for Uncharted 4.

Didn't they just remake Ratchet 1 for PS3?

FX has been trying to make a Powers series for years (I think they filmed two pilots even). Given Community dead center, I was hoping Season 6 was going to be announced here.

MS did not pretend anyone cares about Kinect, and effectively didn't mention it. Sony spends 20 mins on Vita. Edit: I thought much of the Vita library didn't work on TV, and they never patched in new control schemes to make them work.

This smells desperate.

I'm not up on my ME (err, MassE, as opposed to MirrE) lore, but doesn't the N7 armor we saw limit this to a post-ME3 period? And I didn't see any synthesis indicators.

Also, which sci-fi movies has this dude appeared as an android in?

I hope you people are hearing this conference and realizing how non-terrible the MS one was in retrospect.

Let's be clear, this conference did not sway me to purchase an Xbone, even if Ori and Cuphead(?) (if that is even exclusive) had some really nice art styles, and I wouldn't mind playing Sunset Overdrive and Crackdown at some point in the future.
