SEATTLE EAST

Seattle South has failed miserably in Jacksonville. I don't know if Seattle East is going to do any better.
Because Idzik worked out spectacularly for them, they just want to go back to that well. Leave us alone!

Problem wasn't that they got someone from Seattle. Its that they chose a cap manager for their GM.
He remained involved in some player personnel evaulations but you get an accountant for your GM, you're going to see the results you got with Idzik in charge.
Hey, at least the Jets have a shitload of cap space though!

That would be a good pick for the Jaguars. It would also continue the new tradition of Chicago sending all their rejects to Florida.

A casualty of Bryant becoming a star (in our offense).From starter to cut in 16 games. Fare thee well, Justin Brown.
Actually, I'm sure he'll be in camp next year.
Now if we can just figure out how to use Archer in the playoffs...
I laughed so hard at this.
I cried. I knew there was something fishy about the whole departure. Arians would have been perfect for this team :/

I won't disagree with Smart TVs being pointless since every damn device out there offers app service but I can say that Netflix works well on my tv.
My TV says "Ultra HD" on it and I've seen another brand or two label them that way as well. I think 4K is more commonly used because it's so short and quick to say. Most consumers don't even understand that 4K is a resolution and not a new form of technology. I thought about getting a 80" 1080p while I wait for large OLEDs to become affordable but I said screw it and got myself a 70" 4K instead. It has 4K up-scaling and I have noticed a difference when watching blu-rays. Ultra HD blu ray players come out holidays next year so I'll be set for a while with this tv and there are Ultra HD media streamers in the meantime too as well as Netflix 4K.

How close are you to the set out of curiosity?

I need to strongly consider a new career/state.
It's been one of those days.

Get a BenQ W1070: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00A2T6X0K/?tag=neogaf0e-20 I own one and purchased another for my parents, and I installed both of them. I got the mounts for cheap on Monoprice. Edit: I used this projector mount: http://www.monoprice.com/Product?c_id=109&cp_id=10911&cs_id=1091102&p_id=6528&seq=1&format=2
And what the fuck @ projector screens. Is there a reason they've shot up in price since around a year ago? I own this projector screen: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000PHLB88/?tag=neogaf0e-20
and it cost me $127.99 at the time.

I hope he remains suspended. Dudes a dumb ass and doesn't deserve to be playing in the playoffs.
They did, but I can never be too sure when it comes to the Hawks. One more 1st round exit, and I'll jump off a bridge.
I'm back from South America!
I'm here in the good 'ole USA!
USA!

I don't really see a big difference between 4K and 1080P for most content. It is really only noticeable on a huge screen for a scene with a ton of detail. Honestly I won't give a shit until sports supports it. That seems very far away as we can't even support high fidelity 1080P via cable or satellite. Seems like a waste to me. This coming from a guy who hates watching dvds anymore after bluray.
OLED on the other hand blew me away. The blacks and the smoothness of everything in motion is something you have to see in person.

That's a pull-down. Of course its cheaper. The ones I posted were Low voltage controlled screens. They use Da-Lites Tension Contour Electrol system and also offer an optional serial board for third party integration control.

I kind of want Suh to play because it won't matter one bit in the outcome and I want Kas with fewer excuses.
I know why yours is more expensive than the one I posted. I'm talking about the price of projector screens in general seemingly skyrocketing. Compared to about a year ago when I purchased my projector, the screens seem to be anywhere from $60-100 more - including electronic screens.

Ah gotcha. I haven't followed the pricing for screens for years so I'll take your word for it.

I regret not buying an automated one. Having to re-pull a dozen times to perfectly line up the projector image with the screen has grown old
Not too surprised about it.
He was working out of video game devs office. His work really slowed down after Vinny moved to NY and the whole Max Temkin kerfuffle.
He seemed like the type of guy wants to write his own stuff and work through patreon at this point.

Honestly he is the general manager, he is not doing any scouting or much player evaluation himself. Idzik was the guy ultimately in charge but what did he do to hold his scouts and player personnel people accountable?

I'm sorry, the guy has to have some level of football/personnel knowledge. Reese had years of scouting experience before he ended up the General Manager for the Giants. Ted Thompson was a scout. Kevin Colbert was a coach and scout.
Hiring an accountant will get you the exact results you saw with the Jets.
Apparently not enough since he's fired.
I concur, I finally retired my 43" Pioneer Elite from my bedroom and upgrade to a Samsung 51F8500. Plasma was the best, but I can't wait for the OLED future. The LGs are real nice.
I don't know why some people by LEDs though. Picture is trash for the most part. Such inferior tech.
