I'm doing terrible in the Sif league....doing ok in my other ones though.
2-3 in SiF =(
Maybe 5-0 in Stragglers! Not bad.
And yes, Around the NFL definitely updates asap. I listened to it last night.
We'll probably lose tonight anyway, I wouldn't worry about it.

1-4 in SiF
3-2 in No Gatas Allowed and 4-1 in some other one I joined, I have a shit team in SiF I might need to make some trades.You are 100% correct with your statement. Ben and a few others can score TDs and get 1st downs by making up shit on the fly. Very few players can do that.
Brady has a different talent. Brady has the incredibly rare ability* to sometimes hit wide open receivers while having a dominant run game and a gigantic pocket to throw from wit4 4+ seconds to throw the ball. There are not many qb's* in the world who can do that.
* The list of qb's who can throw to wide open receivers, with an excess of time, a dominant running game, and a huge pocket to step up into is less than 100,000 at this present time. Elite company d00ds!
1-4 ins SiF
Yeah, my team in SiF is in shambles pretty much too. I'm just going week to week hoping I hit on waiver pickups at this point.

Nothing compare to Hardcore History.
In the meantime I would suggest the Champs. Hilarious podcast. Very different too. But you have to like black people and black culture, otherwise it isn't going to be for you.

Kelvin Benjamin's looked progressively worse with each passing game this year.
I'm not even sure I can blame it on teams shading their coverage to him because they realized he's the only dude on the team who can actually hurt them deep, because he's still getting open. He's just dropping passes all over the yard now. Someone get him some Stickum. Or Justin Timberlake's gum

Damn, I think I am going to miss Prater on attempts past 50 yards.

They already suspended him indefinitely and he's a back up, hopefully they just release him.

Geno Smith's no-win situation:
Has there ever been a more average/below-average young QB who was given LESS to work with than Geno Smith? Usually those guys are put in front of a loaded receiving core/great RB and asked to learn slowly.

Nah, that's Plinko.
From looking at that mugshot, he should sue the MPD.

Thoughts on my niners this weekend:
A solid but non-spectacular effort. Very happy to see the line run blocking (for two straight games now) better than they have in probably about a year. Downside is they still need to get their act together in pass protection - it is totally unacceptable that every team they've played this season consistently gets pressure right up the middle on almost every pass play. You can not get pushed straight back into the pocket and expect any sort of consistent success in the pass game.
The defense was good but not great like last week. Still no pass rush at all and until they solve that, their opponents will continue to convert 3rd downs at a very high rate.
CK7 was solid. Made some very good plays and was smart with his choices down the stretch.
Offensive play calling was garbage as usual. Why can't Roman design plays to, you know, actually get receivers open? Like ever? Why can't they get plays in faster? When CK7 ran out of bounds in a critical 3rd down; the next snap should have taken place within 10 seconds in order to deny KC an opportunity to look at the replay multiple times. THIS IS JUST COMMON SENSE!
So, the way I understand it now is that Roman calls 2-3 plays after the previous play is over. He then TALKS IT OVER WITH HARBAUGH (just WTF?) and after they agree they relay those 2-3 plays to CK7 who then has to call out 2-3 plays to his offense. Best case they get to the line with about 12-15 seconds on the clock and then CK7 has to read the defense and determine which play to run. After they realign he then has to decide whether to kill the play call or go with it. I mean, is it possible to be any clumsier than this? If I'm the defense against the 49ers I just let them frantically call a bunch of shit and then show my true formation with 5 seconds to go on the clock and just screw them. In fact, I see that happen a lot so then CK7 has to decide whether to run the bad play, try to realign with a handful of second left and risk a delay of game or burn a time out. Not to mention that the play clock ticking to zero gives a huge advantage to defenders because they know the ball has to be snapped almost immediately and are hyper alert to fire out.
This shit is hell of stupid.

Blackmon?
I have to say I'm very impressed by Ben's ability to average under 20 TD's and under 3000 yards his first 5 years. Clearly the Steelers had faith in his passing abilities.

So which qb will be out of the league first
Geno or EJ?

Geno, Bills gave up on EJ too quickly and some other team will give him a shot, Geno is nuclear garbage.

I really like Shelby though, the guy always manages to produce even in his limited role. He could start for a lot of teams.
your avatar looks nice, i might use it too.
I don't think enough people watched that game if they thought Watt was shut down. He's not going to repeat last week every fucking week, Dallas had their hands full, literally.
You made your bed, now lie in it!
I was in and out of that game in terms of attention, but it seems like when I caught it they either took advantage of his aggression or guided him away from the play.
Orton replacing Manuel was a success but he's just as likely to lose games as he is to win them - he's no answer. Dude's ball placement was all over the place. If not for Sammy Watkins, the Bills lose this game.
Look at this catch:
If Watkins doesn't pull some circus bullshit out of his ass, that pass is intercepted and the game is going to OT at best. The pass is high and behind him.
Orton was throwing shit like that all game. He had a dime or two, including the gorgeous pass to Goodwin, but it's nothing to bet on. However, the upgrade was that he was much quicker with his decision making than Manuel. He might not have been throwing a prettier ball, but at least it was decisive. He saw the field better and took more shots. For that reason alone do I believe he maintains the starting role for a while, if not the entire season.

I know but that's the one position we are deep at so it wouldn't be a big loss, guess I misspoke though, lets see what happened first and if he's cleared then great he'll be back on the team soon enough.
Oh I know that's why I want to see it, Watt was really close to blowing up a few plays, he had romo within his grasp, I want to see how they played against him.

Orton might have some rust, he's usually fairly accurate.
Look at all that space between the DB and Watkins though. You could fit a Stafford in that gap.

The dude hasn't played a full game since Week 17 last season. He's bound to have some rust.
He's a better option than Manuel. The Bills are pretty talented and Orton could certainly keep them in contention in the AFC East this season.
Jimmy you Patriot thug!

lol at Ubi openly admitting that went for console parity on AssCreed Unity because they are tired of the Resolution Wars on the Internet.

We're good over here. Bowser popped the bubbly a bit too soon this year, but can you really blame him. We're only good every 5 years, we're going to enjoy that shit damnit!

Thank you. Watt is getting blatantly held on about 80% of snaps. Im talking blatant holding not just run of the mill grabbing a handful of jersey. One snap yesterday the o lineman literally jumped on Watts back and rode him like a horse.
Also sickening since there is so much focus on Watt SOMEONE else should be getting free shots at the QB, but no. Mercilus is now officially a first round bust and Brooks Reed a high second round bust. Clowney will be back for MNF vs the Steelers.
