Apparently Tannehill hurt his shoulder and ankle in the Lions game. Never missed a snap, though. He deserves more credit for how tough he is, to be honest. He's been through some shit.

NFL 2014 Week 11 |OT| - The Quarterback Duel of the Decade Out of the Shadows
- Thread starter ActStriker
- Start date
In a much more interesting setting and much better paced.
And yeah Dragon, if I get FC4 it'llobviously be on PC. Best franchise running these days
I feel like our dime package is pretty solid. Both Brandon Boykin and Nolan Carroll could be starters on other teams, so I don't think it's a case of throwing a bunch of second teamers on the field. And we can always blitz out of dime as well, as Kendricks, Carroll, and Jenkins have done successfully in the past. Of course, if we can get pressure on Rodgers with just our front 4, that would be even better. But I'm guessing Billy Davis will mix in a few of his trademark A-gap blitzes. Just have to hope that Rodgers doesn't burn us too bad on those.
Whore.

Did you just talk up Nolan Carroll?
I believe he just talked up Nolan Carroll.
The freedom you get in FC games is amazing, I love it. 2 was better than 3 in a lot of ways, though. I think 4 will be great, the setting looks incredible.
2 is one of the greatest games ever so you are correct
That's attacking the real strength of the Packers offense (rookie center Linsley is grading out as the 4th best player on the entire offense) so that'd be cool! I haven't paid tons of attention to the Eagles defense and because of their offense, the counting stats are completely pointless to judge them, but I get the impression that most of their pressure (last night notwithstanding) comes from creative blitzes and they get very little otherwise. Would that be accurate?

Engineering students should be fucking banned from doing presentations on political/social/sociological topics.
I mean, it's obvious they should be schooled on it, but dammit, let the lecturer drop some actual knowledge on them instead of letting these people embarrass themselves without guidance...

Yes! It's such a unique game, I loved almost all of the mechanics that got taken out for 3. They were frustrating at times but they went to the other extreme with 3 by making "Focus Test: The Game." FC2's world was harsh and unforgiving but that's a huge part of what made it stand out! The gun jamming, the malaria, the limited fast travel... all of that was fantastic.
Sadly I think 4 will stick with the formula set by 3, but I can't deny that it's still a pretty fun formula.

Ubisoft said they fixed the complaints people had with FC3. What are these, btw? I hardly game anymore, but FC4 may get me to buy it.
Can our defense contain the legends known as Sankey and Whitehurst?
Shazier better get healthy soon. We are so fucking slow without him on the field.

Have you read "Go, Dog. Go!"?
If lose to the Titans that'll put us 1-3 against teams likely to drop the top 5. We will have ruined a chance to make the playoffs. Not that we cant regain the ground lost. But if we go 1-3 against 4 of the 5 worst teams in the league we should self ban ourselves from the playoffs. Also hope we can beat up on their qb just because Nate Washington talking shit.

I was so close to preloading Unity because 900p wasn't the end of the world to me.
So glad I waited.

Yea, I'm still surprised by that GB game. If the offense could have gotten out of its way, GB would have had a good shot. But the Lions deserve credit for really dominating the trenches and not giving Godgers time to hurt them. In fact even when he had time our secondary made plays.
I agree Lambeau will be ugly. My hope is that it doesn't matter: if we have a better record we'll win the division, and if not I hope we'll have a wildcard locked up. That's why this upcoming Cardinals game is the biggest of the season IMO. We HAVE to have that wildcard escape hatch available because the Packers are beasting right now and have an easy schedule compared to us.
So now it's not even the day of?
Uuuuuuuuuuu!

Watt is wasting away on an irrelevant team. So sad. Kind of like Cam Wake, I suppose.
I know you guys were glad to be rid of him, but he's done well here. It probably helps that he is the 4th CB and not a starter, so he's not matching up with stud WRs out there.
It's been a bit of both. They definitely blitz a ton, but they have been able to generate a lot of pressure with just their front 4 this year. Especially over the past several weeks. They are second in the league with 34 sacks and the majority of them have come from their linemen and OLBs: Barwin has 10.5 sacks, Vinny Curry has 5, while Brandon Graham and Trent Cole have 4.5 each.
It'll be interesting to see how Billy Davis attacks Rodgers. He's on fire right now and will be tough to slow down, but I think our defense is also playing really well, so it should be a good matchup.

Yep, but on the other hand no one forced him to sign that extension.

Mech probably kidnapped JJ his dog, forcing him to sign the extension.

Last night oh man.
We suck and the season is over.
I don't care if we manage to fluke our way into winning this garbage division. It's done.

Man recognized greatness. Can't blame him, but the team is holding Ryan back, so JJ wants out.
If I wasn't so damn tired right now I would go find all those "Tom is done!" posts from the week one OT and post them here.

Old man's getting a strong
Mallett vs Hoyer is kind of like Highlander, there can be only one. Ryan must cut off Hoyers head to move on. Of course then he has to face Tom down the road and kill the master.
Look on the bright side, you need a new QB too!

What's also interesting, is that he's getting handsomer over time.
To be fair his ball looked like a weak out of control ducks on top of what seemed like a decreasing arm strength of a arm last year and was like like bottom 5 in completion pct for passes over 10 yards the first couple games. You cant fault us.
Gronk wasn't healthy which has been a big deal, IMO.
But it is every damn year this gets said. Like clockwork
