Good. Barnwell has a greater grasp of the game than Simmons. Simmons is more of a personality guy at this point. Lowe is a more interesting basketball read.

Our defense may suck but at least we stop the QB after running 40 yards.
Rex Ryan
they are going to get Darrell Bevell
What the fuck for?

DRC practiced today. He's questionable against Dallas. I'm betting he gets limited reps and we trot out Bowman on the outside and Hosely in the slot (good game, Dallas).
In other news, I finished Alien Isolation last night. There's a great game buried underneath 4-5 hours of padding and some design decisions that exists simply to frustrate the hell of the person playing the game. If you're a fan of the franchise, this is worlds better than the shit heap that was Colonial Marines but if you can't deal with trial and error stealth games - stay far far away.
Onto The Evil Within.

Rex and his wife must of licked Fox318 feet
Rich Kotite.
Brady was pressured as fuck last night. Devey and Cannon were hot garbage, so many thrown away balls right after the snap. Seems Tom has adjusted to rolling out a bit more, which has been helping a lot with the deeper stuff.
I think rex's salt levels are at critical mass though "best route ever" by Amendola himself LOL.
That's harsh.
I absolutely loved awakening. Loved the time travel and parents and kids aspect.
The worst FE game I played was the DS remake of the original. Felt too old.
GBA games might still be my favorite. I couldn't believe how great those games were when I first played them. I only played them because a college friend mentioned the series as something he liked in Hong Kong. Knew nothing about the games and was totally blown away.

If that was "pressured as fuck" what would you call the Miami game?
Brady had tons of clean pockets last night. Jets didn't disrupt him nearly enough.
That's like being proud of being taller or smarter than Gata.
It's called standards your dirty hippie.
Korey Toomer (LB) was waived by the Cowboys to make way for Lavar Edwards (DE). Lavar Edwards was released earlier because the Cowboys needed another tackle (they signed Tony Hills).
From reports I am hearing there is a disconnect between the coaches and scouting about Korey Toomer. Coaches feel he is not ready. The scouts are still optimistic and want to try and stash him on PS.
I thought the issues between scouting and the coaching staff would have been remedied by the promotion of Will McClay. Remembering back to the 2013 draft when the scouts wanted Sharrif Floyd and the coaches didn't think he was a good scheme fit. The rift between the coaches and scouts led to the demotion of Tom Ciskowski and an overhaul of the communication issues between the scouts and coaches spearheaded by Will McClay.
Man...I wanted to see Toomer play meaningful snaps, I really thought he would get the opportunity. I was wrong.
Edit: Trying to dig for more reasons why Toomer may have gotten waived.
Toomer (56) got beat bad on the punt block. Forced Heath (38) to take the inside guy (Michael Morgan-57). Can't fault Heath, you go inside - out (the guy with the shortest path to the ball), it was just that there were two players were arriving at the same time. There may have been some miss-communication between Toomer and Cameron Lawrence (53), with Lawrence sliding right to deal with a stunt. I don't know the whole thing was a mess. I wonder if Harris properly alerted when Baldwin runs to the edge.

I always like when you post your impressions, thanks for doing it. I think I might pick this one up sometime but I didn't want to bite at full price.
Silent Hills gonna save us all.
i mean it's no secret the pats line is patch work right now. Solder has been benched several times, cannon is playing all over the line, Stork and Connelly are both out, one of those 2 is a rookie, we've had 2 rookies starting for the chiefs game, etc etc. That being said there were just several broken Plays right from the get go where Tom simply chucked the ball away immediately. The Jets line is damn good, so I was surprised given who was actually out there, but yeah the dolphins games was a disaster... the difference was that Tom wasn't moving nearly as much then, and there weren't any plays designed to do so either.
No Smash Bros.? Scust.

I would've watched if I wasn't at work
I have the ball with 3 mins and a 3 pt lead, pls don't choke
Yeah I'm getting Smash U, Bayonetta 2, and maybe Pocket Monsters. I'm on and off about Dragon Age Inquisition. Will probably snatch Mordor is it goes on sale.

Yep. All over the place. The problem is the game WANTS you to progress. Staying in the same area for an extended period of time, even if you want to explore, will get you killed more often than not. So lockers and other hiding places are temporary at best. Considering the Alien is a one hit kill machine and there are very little to no checkpoints (you have to manually save at terminals), you could easily redo 20-30 minutes of gameplay at a time often. Thankfully, save terminals are fairly placed but sometimes you find yourself backtracking to save "just in case" shit happens. It's an acquired taste since modern stealth oriented games have moved past this type of old school rigidity. Keep in mind that I played through on Hard so the lower difficulties might be less stringent.
The padding is the worst offender to me.
You're welcome!

Just tuned in to see the kneel. Grats on the win!
You should've watched my last game!

You better hope your opponent doesn't throw a pick or you are screwed.

Thanks :*) I wasn't around when you played or I would have watched

He threw a pick when he was probably in FG range

There's the archive of it if you care to check it out!
Plus I didn't really broadcast I was streaming in this thread when I went live. Of course when I don't do that it ends up being a great game.

Lol do you disagree?
edit- I should make this clear, I'm talking about ranked leaderboards. The top 50 are all pretty awful who call cover 3 every single snap. On offense they run slants/screens, and counters.
I can take a picture of my collection, which admittedly gets spotty around 09. I just feel like a lot of the issues that were there back then still exist today.
edit- NFL2k on DC is the GOAT anyways

There are new issues to be sure, but Madden 25 (on next gen) and this year are the best the game has ever been.

Is the AI actually gimped in the PS3/360 versions of 15 or did that turn out to be bullshit?
I thought the biggest step forward the game took was 13 with the new physics. It helped things make a little more fluid and natural, things played out a little different every time (also makes for some hilarious glitches), I just feel like it's been stagnant though. It was one reason I was so dissapointed with NBA2k14. It looks amazing, but it all still feels clunky.
