    NFL 2020 Season: Gravy Edition!

    At least with the NY teams you sort of knew what was coming. Maybe not Saquon tearing his knee up, but you knew they weren't going to be good this year. The Falcons just keep getting hopes up and having them crash spectacularly.

    No, his back up who they got for just a 4th round pick came in and threw 3 TD's against them, though. We joke about all the bad teams, but are there any fans that have it worse than Atlanta right now, really?

    Suck a dick, I didn't say they'd be 30th in the league otherwise, just pointing out they racked up a bunch of stats in situations where they were forced to throw a shit ton for the majority of the last couple games. It's no surprise Dak leads the league in attempts currently.

    Some of the offensive stats for the Cowboys are because of who they have played, too. Every QB/WR wants to play against Seattle and Atlanta right now.

    I didn't pick him. I had a lead but all my guys were done and my opponent had Lamar, Ravens D, and Dobbins going last night. Butker missing a couple kicks saved him 3 points with Ravens D, and no idea why they were doing the short kickoff bullshit early on in the game, but one resulted in...

    I'll say this, some of the set pieces and action scenes for Matrix: Reloaded were fucking amazing. But the whole needing the story to go somewhere and as someone else noted the architect shit was all terrible. Honestly the whole war with Zion shit shouldn't have been resolved in that trilogy...

    They definitely low key tried to throw a little big with the missed kick and fumble around the ~20 either side of halftime. Not to mention the blown 4th and 1 at midfield. Ravens only had 1 offensive TD all night and it was off the turnover on downs after that 4th and 1.

    Thank goodness Lamar shit the bed tonight. Butker tried to fuck me in fantasy missing 2 kicks and being a dumbass not just putting kickoffs through the end zone.

    Best team won, even if I don't totally like that it's Tampa. They've had the stacked team for a couple of years now, big for them to get it done.

    The way he keeps his balance shedding initial tackles is just stupid. I guess all those crazy workouts he comes up with pay off because holy fuck. Also pisses me off to no end I had him in fantasy last year and got 2 TD's in the 13 week regular season of fantasy, while he has 10 TD's in his...

    Looking at it again, they could have called him for holding the stick as much as tripping. It resembles a slew foot somewhat in that he's pulling back on the top half while holding the stick and pushing one of his legs out from under him at the same time. Although not an actual "slew foot" b/c...

    NBC broadcast guys aren't hardly right all the time. The one leg looking like it was being "kicked out" far before anything else is probably what sold the call. I'm just saying it falls well within the inconsistencies of NHL officiating that it's whatevs.

    Didn't see rest of the game for context...in a vacuum I've definitely seen that let go in OT in the playoffs, but I've also seen much weaker stuff called, too. In cases like these we always defer to the old adage "don't let it come down to the refs".

    I thought the general consensus was the SL beta was light years better than the BFA beta as far as feedback, etc went. Whether that translates into "polish", I have no idea. Seems like it could use another month or two, but they want to time out the releases of SL and Naxx in Classic.

    Star Trek: Picard

    I agree with the idea that when Voyager was good, it hit pretty high highs, but it also had a ton of filler. That said, TNG had plenty of filler episodes, too. Side character episodes are always dicey. Doctor and 7 of 9 ones usually good, not much else really hit the mark for me. Neelix...

    I thought I had read at one point that 9 originally wasn't going to be one of the main "numbered" FF's, but more a spin off game with the nostalgia tie ins, kind of like a better Mystic Quest. The fact that PS2 had already been released only made it worse, and 10 was out within a year of 9's...

    Imagine if they had drafted a big run stopper so they couldn't get beat in the NFC Championship game again by a team only throwing the ball 8 times, along with one of the crazy good WR class who could develop over the season into potentially another reliable pass catcher to play opposite Adams?

    I think Josi is good defensively buts gets help from system and a stacked blueline corps in general. Carlson's numbers were historic and he was putting up point totals/game pace we hadn't seen in 25 years by a defenseman. Just bothers me guys like Karlsson, Burns, and even Subban to a degree...

    Don't know why they were even last year. they were 6-4 at one point and in contention for wild card. Not having Jacobs late in the season is a big blow. They've built that team up pretty well. If some of those rookie receivers turn out decent when they already have Jacobs and Waller to lean...

    Rip. Dumb thing is I dropped Reagor who was going to be a stash for me in order to pick up Campbell, likely I just try to pick up Reagor again. I might need to try to find a gem at RB, though. If Mostert is out I'm sitting on Drake, Ronald Jones, Zach Moss, and Chase Edmunds. It's just not a...

    Just got Sutton back in fantasy and down he goes. Burned a waiver on Parris Campbell, out indefinitely, and Mostert was my RB2. Granted I didn't have as bad a week as guys with Saquon or CMC I guess, but fuck man, I already lost Michael Thomas for a bit, too.

    They've definitely gone more that direction since ARR release with Shiva stuff, Tsukuyomi, and Ryne again taking on Shiva aspect with the Eden raid in this expansion. I don't think it is exactly the same, but potentially a somewhat similar concept. Then again we don't really have any idea how...

    I got the sense that the whole "Shiva-Dominant" could refer to a person that the eikon has semi taken over/possessed to a degree. Which is definitely a theme in XIV so it's not that surprising this team might try to build off of a similar idea for a new story. As for whether that makes it...

    No, you made the original point about the human form of Bahamut, and when I asked, you identified the boy who is the fayth for it. Then I was curious if you felt all the surviving citizens of Zanarkand that Yu Yevon transformed into the fayth for Sin were considered the "human form" of Sin. It...

    They're relevant in that they act as the "fayth" for sin, the same way the boy is the "fayth" for Bahamut. Are you claiming then that the people at Gagazet are the human forms of Sin? Please, educate me on the deep lore if that comparison is incorrect.

    We know how they'll sell that bullshit.

The Maw will kind of be this side thing, with just enough in there to fulfill whatever early...

    That's not exactly the same thing, since technically the "fayth" for Sin were all the surviving citizens of the old Zanarkand that Yu Yevon transformed, no?

    Is that lore twisting a bit to equate the fayth of Bahamut into Bahamut itself?

    They were basically just things you'd get at each new temple (in 10). Frankly outside of a few overdrives, your party was stronger than the summons, anyways. I've played them all, pretty sure you are misremembering Bahamut having any human form in X. Many people think Stormblood was the...
