  1. I don't think Jones is phenomenal or anything, but that O-line fucking sucks. And it ain't like Jones was being a little bitch about it. Dude was running for first downs, not sliding, diving for extra yards. He was out there playing to win. The Giants have a whole host of problems and Jones is somewhere near the bottom of that list. Off the top of my head: missing Saquon, an O-line failing worse than Aggy under Jimbo, and receivers that look like they belong in the XFL.
  2. I think the Rangers, despite choking away the division at the end, are doing fine. Lost DeGrom early. Had half their lineup injured for a long stretch. Got Scherzer who did nothing and then got injured. Bad bullpen blew every save they possibly could. Still 22 games positive over last year for the most improved team in baseball. And as far as the playoffs go, it's just a race to see who gets to be sacrificed to the Braves.
  3. Yeah, one problem all these shows run into is the need to attract as many viewers as they can, like you said, so naturally they go with some bigger name actor/actress. Then, they get hamstrung into shoving that actor/actress into every episode whether they should be there or not. Game of Thrones had this problem with Lena Headey. Her story should have been fairly minimal after Dany burninates all her armies and the Night King comes south of the Wall. Instead, the idiots running that show made the NK a joke and wrapped that much more impactful and interesting storyline as quick as possible so we could get back to King's Landing and Cersei's bullshit. Like every episode you have to shove Lena Headey drinking wine at a window into the episode. WoT is suffering from this with Moiraine because, well, you paid Rosamund Pike and she's the only even somewhat famous name on the show so you're getting Rosamund Pike. It seriously makes me wonder what they're going to do when it comes time to have
  4. It was extremely ticky tack, especially when the refs do like they do here in college and see no evil when it comes to O-linemen holding. Plus, it looked to me like the ref never pulled the flag until after he saw the pass get intercepted. That's not a good look.
  5. I watched Tom Brady basically tell the refs to throw flags on the other team for years and they scurried to do his bidding. Now I guess since Mahomes and the Chiefs are the new prima donna darlings of the NFL, they get to have hankies tossed to bail them out w/e they need it. Helped 'em win the Super Bowl back in February. Now it's helping them squeak past the Zach Wilson led Jets when Mahomes is playing like ass.
  6. Kenny Pickett 3/5 for -1 yards and an INT. That's, uh, not good.
  7. Dude is currently averaging 350 yards a game with a 70% completion rate. If that's washed up what's your definition of not washed? You don't want him for the long term. You want him so this team can win while you find yourself a franchise QB and so all your 1st round talent on offense doesn't demand to be traded.
  8. Zach Wilson? Honestly, not by much though. Seriously? Has he just been calling college games? I'm an old man now. I haven't watched Gameday since Colt was on campus.
  9. Need to find that one-handed catch he had in the first half. Shit was bananas.
  10. This broadcast crew is turrible. And Fowler needs to stick to College Gameday.
  11. Bijan now well over 100 yards. Man I hope this team figures out the QB situation so they don't waste this kid. He's even better than we all thought he'd be.
  12. Bijan with a huge gain.
  13. Yeah, dude. That team is a playoff caliber team outside of the QB and having a slightly below average O-line. Though the O-line looks worse because their QB just holds the ball forever when he isn't throwing it to the opposing team.
  14. Now Ridder's receivers are yelling at him on the sidelines. This dude is cooked. If Arthur Smith leaves him as the QB this entire team is going to phone it in for the rest of the year.
  15. Underthrows a long ball and it almost gets picked for #3. This dude is comically bad.
  16. ANOTHER PICK FROM RIDDER!
  17. Heineke ain't gonna win you a Super Bowl or nothin', but you can't keep Ridder out there if you want to convince your team you actually give a fuck about winning.
  18. Nevermind. Ridder pick 6. LMFAO.
  19. Bijan single-handedly saving this game for the Falcons right now.
  20. Bijan just made a Justin Jeffersonesque one handed catch for a 1st. Yeah, sorry, that's what I meant. Has family from the area.
  21. Yeah, it's gonna be a long fucking year for the Falcons. Sad part is, they have all the pieces to be a playoff team. The defense is pretty good, they've got a 1st rounder at WR, they've got a 1st rounder at TE, and obviously Bijan. Unfortunately that whole thing is weighed down by a 4th round QB who is playing scared and some dumbass play calling sprinkled on top. If the Vikings lose today the Falcons need to go get Cousins in a trade. They freed up some cap space last week so the rumor is they might try. Plus, Cousins is from the area so he'd probably appreciate getting to play there.
  22. Yeah, Ridder is not good. Doesn't help that Arthur Smith is a fucking idiot. You get a penalty to move it from 3rd and 6 to 3rd and 1. You have Bijan and Allgiere. So what do you do? Line up in shotgun and try to have your trash tier QB throw it and take a sack. Fucking genius. https://www.vipleague.la/nfl/jacksonville-jaguars-vs-atlanta-falcons-1-live-streaming
  23. While it irked me quite a bit how much they deviated from the books in season one, it just isn't bothering me as much this season. I think a big problem I had was that the changes were dumb. And they were adding shit that was dumb and made no sense. This season the changes are also wild, but they aren't as stupid. Like even The show was a poor WoT adaptation in season one. But it was also just a bad TV show. This season it's a better WoT adaptation even with the changes and it's also just a better TV show. So it's trending in the right direction. If you need it to be a super faithful adaptation though, yeah, it probably ain't for you.
