    They also started losing SBs and the along with it the ability to snap their fingers to get decent vets at a bargain price. Plus that 2019 was probably the most utterly anemic SB in history against a Rams team who's one productive offensive player was hiding a major injury.

    NFL 2020 Season: Gravy Edition!

    RE: The Pats, drafting has rarely been their main road to getting talent. Pats were masters of getting guys with a little bit left in the tank to come in and sign sweet short term deals for a chance to get a ring. Then Darth Bill would trade you off to some dipshit franchise and your stats...

    I agree to a point, but that D is completely fucked without him. Pretty sure two wins are directly attributable to him.

    Well, the Chargers are always the Charlie Brown of the league. Been that way since Fouts retired. For the 9ers, this is a new situation. For the Chargers its standard MO.

    NFL 2020 Season: Gravy Edition!

    If the 49ers were not being raped by the injury monster, they would have the best D in the league, hands down. I think their coordinator is probably the best in the league (maybe Bellicheck might compare?) but it does not matter if half the starters are hurt and the Offense can't get off the...

    Fitzpatrick is the backup for the Dophins. Tua has to shit the bed hard enough for Fitz to get the starting job again by all known laws of the universe. Thats the Jets window to at least one win.

    NFL 2020 Season: Gravy Edition!

    There are only three actually good defenses in the league right now: Titans, Rams, and (usually) Tampa. No one else has been remotely consistent, let alone "great". This is basically going to be remembered as the "steroid stats" era of football, offensively at least.

    This is pretty much what it was like being a Packer Fan the last few years under McCarthy and our porous defense. If the QB has anything less than a perfect game, you lose. I will say the argument for Wilson as MVP probably gained some more merit, since a slightly off night was clearly the...

    To get to this point you have to have well defined villains. Thanos was reasonably well defined within but not before the IW movies. Loki, who is not really a big part of the comic SW, is well defined. Vulture is the next most well defined villain they have at this point. Could they pull off...

    Yeah Gore should be in the HOF, no doubt. He is probably the closest we will ever get to someone as prolific as Jim Brown (the GOAT imo) at the position in the salary cap era.

    And will be for a while, until another team in that shitshow division manages to win a second game. So yeah two wins will lead that division through mid-season.

    NFL 2020 Season: Gravy Edition!

    Several teams, notably the Pats and a little bit here in GB have been using that strategy for a while. Its ruthless, but economical. Plus every RB turns into a headcase, especially the good ones as they start circling the drain...... Zeke, Lynch, Lacy, Gurley, AP, ect. You basically have to...

    MdMuffin is so much entertaining when he is not coaching your team. Sorry Cowboys fans, but you hired the worst coach in history with a SB Ring.

    Disney+ Streaming Service

    You guys also are not considering how much money gets flushed down the shitter in things like advertising and distribution. Basically, half of the cost of any movie being made in the last two decades went to bloated advertising and distro deals. Streaming eliminates a LOT of that overhead...

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    It is creeping into federal employment, too. Trumps EO put it on hold, but its only a matter of time before these blue hair liberal arts cunts manning the HR departments try to push for it again. Fucking annoying. @Big Phoenix - Find out if another branch (or even another company) can use the...

    @Chukzombi He is, but I think a good long Doom arc ending in him helping against Galactus would make a good series of stories (and more or less has happened in the classic comic books). Making Doom the central figure would keep things more grounded and also let them address the biggest flaw of...

    NFL 2020 Season: Gravy Edition!

    Defense in general has been horrific across the NFL this season, for the most part. There are a lot of reasons for it, but I think its mostly the lack of pre-season and no actual crowd noise to disrupt snap cadences. I can name maybe two ok Defenses and two actual good ones (and the good ones...

    Marvel Universe stuff

    Everything all encompassing from Marvel post Infinity Guantlet was just, well, weird. Secret Wars was some seriously convoluted material that frankly would just not grab anyone's attention because most of the villains in it have not been developed well by Marvel, especially Doom. Honestly...

    1) TB had some pass rush, but really that was the usual Rogers sucking after a bye routine. He gets dialed in to one receiver, happy feet, and holds on to the ball to long a lot. TB's D is good, but Rogers had one of the worst games of his career yesterday and he always drops a turd after the...

    Wasteland 3

    If you like the genre of tactics plus post apoc, its a good grab. It has crash issues (even on console), some internal balance problems, and is probably a bit too easy. The soundtrack is amazing and the story is decent, as well as the gameplay loop being pretty engrossing, though.

    NFL 2020 Season: Gravy Edition!

    More accurately, he has consistently stunk after the bye week. Probably took one to many shots to the mouth from the Jonas Bros while worshiping Brady from afar. I don't mind losing, but this was a completely flat meltdown that led to McDoofus being sent packing and its pretty much all on...

    The Last of Us

    Even if the SJW shit is taken out of the equasion and we ignore the obvious roid tranny monster, this is the story you are left with: 1) Characters you bonded with in first game are systematically destroyed, literally in Joel's case, and made to be monsters. 2) Roid Monster who did the...

    Mad Max: Fury Road (2015)

    Common thread is Max losing his mind because his family is killed (First Movie) and he gradually becomes disconnected from humanity due to what he goes through just trying to survive. But yeah, Road Warrior is all you need to get going as it has the first movies major points in flashbacks or...

    Mad Max: Fury Road (2015)

    First movie is about a general breakdown in society where he is a cop during the collapse and road gangs are the antagonist. It is honestly the weakest movie, but still has good parts and sets up everything else. Second movie is when the world is full on post apocalypse (supposedly a bunch of...

    Star Trek: Picard

    Season arcs and continuity were originally shit on by networks back in the day because they felt it would make a show inaccessible. To a point, back then they were right. It really was not until late 70s or early 80s that you saw some shows moving towards continuous arcs. And they ended up...

    Who needs that when you can just beeline for Dancers or Bards? But yeah I guess if I were ever going to play the remastered one I would not want to fucking grind out Dark Knight on characters again.

    Massive Darkness is not too bad and not super costly. Its more akin to Zombicide, minus the bloat and one moron ending the game being an asshole. First Watch is another good light one, though not really a board game. If you don't care about coop and want a fast crazy game, Clank (especially...

    Final Fantasy 16

    I ultimately had no interest in even looking at the FF7 remake after playing the demo. This is despite actually liking the Vincent MMO shooter that god made back in the day. One reason is the choice of action platform. You have anime characters with seven foot swords and guns for arms and its...

    Reid is no Darth Bellichek. He has that issue of overlooking otherwise easy opponents at bad moments. He did it all the time in Philly, its just that his clock management is so hilariously bad that it gets overlooked a lot. Its also possible that NE put the roadmap out there to stopping KC...

    NFL 2020 Season: Gravy Edition!

    Yeah I do not think there is a more heartbreaking team to root for than the chargers. They take Falcon's level of fail and crank it to 11, finding ways to lose that Lions fans would balk at. They should just change their fucking uniforms to Charlie Brown shirts. It sure does seem like they...

    Final Fantasy 16

    Hey I just want a fun single player RPG, even an action one. The first DD was about as perfect of a game as there ever was at that time. Them spending all the effort making an MMO out of it was an immediate nope from me. It might have been a good game, but its now what made me like the...
