    NFL 2019 Season: It's Tricky!

    Eh, three 1 score losses in a row, 2 of them to Patriots and Tennessee (both on the road). I know we only like to look at wins and losses even early in the season, but Saints probably beat a better team than anyone else did this week.

    Gardner Minshew...it's just not a QB name. Shane Falco. Now that's a QB name.

    NFL 2019 Season: It's Tricky!

    You're forgetting Colts that started 1-5 I believe...but yeah obviously there's a whole lot of stuff we think we "know" through Week 6, and it'll change as some teams figure stuff out/come together while others come apart. The Pats having somewhat slow starts a semi recent thing, I thought...

    NFL 2019 Season: It's Tricky!

    Texans were a playoff team last year, probably improved going into this year as well, unless you really think Lamar Miller is a beast or that Clowney was actually elite or something. Not sure why Saints shouldn't feel good about the win...especially when the refs completely fucked them over end...

    NFL 2019 Season: It's Tricky!

    Here comes another case where they should go for 2, but for "drama" they kick the XP. Down 24-15, 2:15 left and 2 timeouts left. Sure, you're still technically "1 score" down at 24-16, but now if you wait until the last second after another TD to go for 2 and you don't get it, you're screwed.

    Don't know how they don't just grind it out with Lindsay more. Freeman is good, but Lindsay clearly better overall.

    Guice to get MRI on other knee (not the one he tore the ACL in last year). Will miss a few games. Guess AP will be active this week. Nobody technically to IR yet I don't think, but you can feel it coming.

    NFL 2019 Season: It's Tricky!

    That's cause Moncrief is shit. Never believe the Moncrief hype, he's never lived up anywhere he's been. Wouldn't be shocked if James Washington took over as #2 WR for the Steelers by end of the year.

    Brady has owned the steelers for awhile. Bad match up for them. Not that I think they're world beaters, but this should have been expected out of the gate.

    Mike Davis got quite a few touches, which cut into Montgomery and Cohen's work. Cohen didn't even have a single carry all game.

    NFL 2019 Season: It's Tricky!

    Given how little of a falloff (if there was any) there was with Conner in there for him last year, I'm inclined to think Steelers system was as responsible as Bell was for his success there.

    Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

    JarJar was toned down a LOT after TPM. Also we had bearded Kenobi finally in Clones. Actual big fights that weren't JarJar peeps against Trade Federation. Yeah, I guess I still think TPM is worse. But agree TLJ is basically the standard for shit.

    Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

    Interesting, I know most people I've talked to think TPM is bar far the worst of the prequels. Some do note the really poor chemistry with teenage/young adult Anakin and Padme is fairly jarring in Clones, but I'm not sure if it's worse than full on Jar-Jar. Both films try to fake you out with...

    It (2017)

    I'm expecting them to try to push the scary/horror more in this one. Otherwise how wouldn't you be coming back to Derry as a 40 year old thinking about how you're going to get a free W from something you whacked when you were 13.

    $3M guaranteed...not "nothing", but still every chance he's mainly insurance behind/with Damien Williams still as the lead back. They're very young/thin behind him and he doesn't exactly have a long track record of heavy workload in his career.

    Wasn't straight picks for one player though, they got Stills in the deal as well who is at least a decent receiver.

    NFL 2019 Season: It's Tricky!

    Interesting for Miami to turn that down. I wonder if Texans called us at all about Trent Williams. Tunsil is a little younger and elite, too, so I'd get if they wouldn't make same offer to Skins.

    Pretty much all the English teams got decent draws. Both Liverpool and Man City should coast through.

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    I played both, I think SH at least on par if not tougher. But that's just my opinion. Felt like even if messy, you could get through Scholo a bit easier than having to tow through players/classes that were shit at CC in SH for Kara keying.

    On par with pre nerf Shattered Halls heroic? Although no one will get to relive that unless they do TBC after classic.

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    Yeah, that's why we killed something like all but 6 of the first 300 downed on our server back then. Granted, it wasn't just for the good nature resist stuff. Every mage in the guild wanted the Mindtear Band, which we never saw a single one drop until after 6 months of killing Taerar.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    It depends how much the allure exists for people that never played it...and how long people who did play it want to go back and see/beat anything they didn't (couldn't) beat back in Vanilla. I find I have no desire to go back and do everything I already did, but just knowing how few people...

    I wonder what the Chargers actual price for Gordon would be if they were offered a potential 2nd.

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    All of this makes sense, there's a lot of new stuff for you to see in Classic, and the one real draw it still has for me is the community that you had to build on each of your servers back then (and in prior MMO's like EQ). For me, though, that community was heavily influenced by those people I...

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    I'll agree that there is a big part of "doing the expansion releases in 14 for the story", but I still enjoy a lot of the content they put out over the course of the expansion in between release and MSQ patches, too. Still waaaay better than BFA for me which kind of feels like a watered down...

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    I'll have to disagree, I think my hype for Shadowbringers was higher than any WoW/expansion even. Although how much of Vanilla did you clear/see I have to ask?

    I'm still surprised so many people who actually played back in vanilla are excited for this.

    Lamar Miller ACL. Good they traded for Duke Johnson I guess? Maybe they inquire about Melvin Gordon though

    Only difference being Zeke is actually an elite RB in the league. Dak at his best you could maybe say is a top 10 QB. Dak at his normal is a top 15 QB.
