If we even go 10-6 this year I'll be happy. Everyone will be gunning for us hard.

Wat why would you be happy with 10 wins? NFC West is strong but I'd expect the winner to get 12 or so

 

[eznark]

I like the Titans to surprise some people. The rest of his list I guess I agree with. How many wins the TB end up with? If it was more than 5 I don't expect them to win more.

 

[Hitokage]

Hito - week-long avatar bet? I need to get revenge for last year's disgusting avatar with which you saddled me...

Sure.

7. Barnwell is really high on them for some reason, he thinks they will win 11 games this year.

I don't even know if we will be the winner of the West. I'm having a pessimistic outlook this year. Can't get hurt that way!

Bill Barnwell picks the 8 teams that should finish with a better record than last season:

Carolina Panthers
Cincinnati Bengals
Cleveland Browns
Detroit Lions
Kansas City Chiefs
New Orleans Saints
Philadelphia Eagles
Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Hard to see all 3 7-9 NFC South teams from last year finishing with more wins...he's also super high on the Bucs (in his podcast preview series picked them to go 11-5). So it sounds like he's thinking:

Bucs 11-5
Saints 9-7/10-6
Panthers 8-8
Falcons 7-9 (I believe he specifically mentioned Falcons at 7-9 in his podcast).

I can see the Eagles winning 5 or 6 games so I guess I agree with including them.

Nike has a full page ad of Megatron on the ESPN site.

So if KAS doesn't post for a few hours no one get worried. I honestly wouldn't expect him around for the next few days. It takes sometime to get a laptop fixed when you get that much splooge on the keyboard.

7. Barnwell is really high on them for some reason, he thinks they will win 11 games this year.

So he thinks Revis and Goldson are worth 5 wins? That defense looks pretty sick but when all you need is 17 points to bea them, who gives a shit?

 

[Dutch Gronk]

I could send you one for the Dutch-friendly price of 1000€.

Shipping included.

Us Euros gotta hold together.

Does it even work here then? I believe I read that you can't use XBL if you do that or some shit like that. Otherwise a 1000€ sounds like a bargain!

Sorry man, didnt realize you were in a tier 2 country.

Microsoft seems to think so.

 

[DUFFMCWALIN]

Goldson will give up 15 yards but make sure to injure the receiver. Maybe thats their new plan, hurt the of the opposing teams receivers.

I thought that Phil spencer said that for non-teir 1 countries you can import a console, all games are region free but if you dont speak a support language then the kinect wont understand you and the menus wont be in your language.

 

[eznark]

I just read his TB preview. I remain unconvinced.

Yeah it will work. When the console boots up you have to choose a location of one of the launch countries so you choose the location that is convenient for you. The only problem would be if you had to buy something from the online store because you would need either a CC from that country you chose or you have to get points cards from that country (I think you can buy those online)

Console is region free, Games are region free, DLC is region free

doing better than 7-9 should be relatively easy. Getting past 9-7 will be the hard part unless Saints D really improves.

 

[jmdajr]

Did not realize we are 0-4 lifetime vs the Chargers. Well fuck!

Yup. Last time we got sort of close. Most of the time we usually got destroyed.

 

[K-19]

The Luxor sports book has a radio show and both hosts yesterday picked the Saints to win the SB, they also both said they believed in the Saints so much that they put their own money down on them to do it.

 

[storybook77]

Falcons fans what are realistic expectations for Steven Jackson?

I'm in 3 FF leagues and while I wasn't going to pick him until unless he fell past round 3, I see he went pretty high in most leagues. And looking at projections he is a plus 12 for most weeks (Yahoo standard scoring). Are fans and fantasy players expecting the Steven Jackson of old? I was under the impression that he is slowed down considerably and will mainly be useful in short yardage and goal-line situations. And even then I expect the Falcons to pass more in the redzone with all the weapons they have.

I think he'll be near the top of the league in TDs.

Just read an article, apparently it's not so bad. You just can't pay with a credit card on XBL, but you can buy those prepaid cards for every country online. Besides that you just have to say that you're in the US or the UK or some shit and 99% of it will all work, besides the actual region locked stuff like ESPN.

And when it does release here, you can just change the location.

I'll ride my bike to Germany. Milchjon, put some beer in the fridge!

Giants have promoted Adewale Ojomo to the 53 man roster after moving Andre Brown to the Designated to Return IR list.

Makes sense as both JPP and DeMontre Moore are iffy for the game on Sunday. (though both appear to be practicing this week).

 

[Colasante]

I just read his TB preview. I remain unconvinced.

On paper they can be a great team. They're a third receiver and a quality tight end away from having a dominant offense. Like always, it just comes down to whether they get good Josh Freeman or bad Josh Freeman for the majority of the season. If he plays well, and Nicks and Joseph return to their high level of play, I think they're a definite contender.

Paying for Xbox Live in Europe would be pretty dumb. Unless you use something like unblock-us (Netflix Sweden has the best selection of movies)

good to see that EJ is starting. Want to see the Pats defense play against him.

I'm pretty sure they said that in the countries where the console is delayed, they will add in 2 AAA-games if you pre-order the machine now. But nobody knows which games, so it might be 2 shitty launch titles.

Whut? I use Xbox live to play online and to talk to my bros. I don't need Netflix, blame M$$ for milking us for the same amount whilst giving us like 10% of what you guys get.

Is the xbox with free Fifa cheaper in Europe than buying a PS4 and Fifa?

No, games are 50 to 60 euros here.

As much as I hate smokey if that's all you want to do why wouldn't you just go the Steam Route? Yeah you'd pay more for a comp initially but 60 * 7 adds up to a fuckload of money over time. And saying you don't need Netflix is dumb, Netflix, while eventually going to go out of business, made me not have to pay Time Warner or AT&T anything but 30 bucks a month. Save money you youngin.

No.

I believe PS4 is 399 Euros, 349 pounds while the Xbone is 499, 429.

No.

Also, it's FIFA. So I'd also have to factor in the cost of disposal.

I don't go the Steam Route because I don't have a PC, and I love consoles, plus all my friends have a Xbox. A year XBL is like 40 euros online and usually you get 1 or 2 months extra, that's not even 1 game in a year.

Netflix here is shit at the moment and TV isn't as expensive as it is in the US, plus I go to the cinema almost once every week, so I don't need Netflix to watch movies and stuff.

Should I link you to some of my Brady posts? Or should I just repost them?

Bill Barnwell picks the 8 teams that should finish with a better record than last season:

Carolina Panthers
Cincinnati Bengals
Cleveland Browns
Detroit Lions
Kansas City Chiefs
New Orleans Saints
Philadelphia Eagles
Tampa Bay Buccaneers

I followed a few links and ended up on this about Pat Shurmur that just got my blood boiling again:

Worst Coach of 2012
Pat Shurmur, Cleveland Browns

It's not that Shurmur made one bad decision in one particular aspect of the game in 2012; it's that he made obviously wrong calls in so many different spots. He failed to go for two up 15-10 in the fourth quarter in Week 1 and it cost him the game in a 17-16 loss. He used a timeout before punting on fourth-and-1 from the Indianapolis 41-yard line with 6:38 left in a close game and ended up having to go for it on fourth-and-6 later on. He called nine pass plays on third/fourth-and-short in one Ravens game alone.

If Shurmur had developed his young talent into successful players, you would excuse his play-calling blunders. Instead, Shurmur failed to develop either Colt McCoy or Brandon Weeden into anything resembling an NFL-caliber starter, ran an injured Trent Richardson into the line for no gain for most of the season, and left the Cleveland organization with a lot of young players who have failed to reach anything resembling their potential. Bizarrely, he was hired by Chip Kelly to serve as Philadelphia's new offensive coordinator, a role that thankfully is unlikely to include play-calling duties. You have to assume that the Eagles are hoping whatever skills Shurmur showed in St. Louis coaching Sam Bradford come out again with Nick Foles in Philadelphia. It's possible that Shurmur could be a better offensive coordinator than a head coach, but only because it's hard to imagine anybody being a worse head coach.

Looking back I'm really surprised we even managed 5 wins last year.

BTW I had no idea Bledsoe's middle name was McQueen. What a dude.

Xbox Live is a terrible value, forgive me for wanting a fellow Pats fan to share in the glory of Steam/PS+.

I can't really hate someone I've never met, honestly. I do tend to prosthelytize though, I'll try to curb that.

These two sentences together kinda made me :jnc

As long as it isn't somebody gross like Kaepernick or Roethlisberger.

Then again, maybe the irony makes the latter worth it.

So the Sanchize might end up on IR:

Mike Garafolo @MikeGarafolo 5m

Know Rex said NYJ not looking at IR for Sanchez right now, but that's very much in play. Depends on progress in days/wks. Hasn't thrown yet.

 

[yankeehater]

So the Sanchize might end up on IR:

Well that is one way for the Jets to take the controversy out of Starting Geno. Does the league have any policy for IR? I thought that Sanchize wasnt even hurt that bad.

 

[yankeehater]

Not sure why? I see you post a ton in Xbox threads letting everyone one know how much you dislike the XB1. You will never find a post like that from me about any of the consoles.

Do the Jets ever think anything they don't say?
