That's what the players wanted, it's their own stupid fault for being lazy

If it helps prevent one or two guys from going into a CTE induced rage and killing themselves at 40 I'm okay with this.
I think unless Sanchez turns into 2013 27-2 Foles, he's sticking with Bradford. And Sanchez seems perfectly content with that. I've really grown to respect Sanchez taking his role with no big fuss. Especially since he didn't have to resign as the backup last offseason. But Sam is the guy, for better or worse.
Fuck. Sanchez is whatever, but Mathews missing extended time sucks. Murray has taken a while to get going in games, and Mathews has always been dependable to at least keep the chains moving while he warms up. Plus our O Line has turned from being held together with duct tape and prayers to utterly collapsing without JP. I haven't followed the Bucs, but hopefully their D Line isn't great. Otherwise it'll be a long day
Well yeah, that's why it's only for this weekend.
Oh I disagree that he has accepted his role. I think he played that game out to prove that he is the one that should be playing. I think that is why he threw that INT. He wanted to "win" the game. It happens with backups or guys in QB competitions all the time. It's why Rosencopter happened. It's why McCowncopter happened. Guys who have a tenuous hold on the job or a chance to take it know they can't play it safe; they have to seize the opportunity
I saw a report that it is really Bradford's shoulder that is keeping him out, which I am sure is true. We've seen Rodgers and Romo get planted in recent years the same way. If a defensive player can get a running start and drive the QB into the ground, he's getting hurt. The way to not get hurt is to be too big to plant

I dunno, I mean every QB wants to "win" the game. I get your point though. But looking at the Sanchez situation in particular:
He was brought in last year on a one year deal with the express plan of being Foles' backup. He took that fine.
Then, Foles gets injured, and Sanchez goes in. And I know we all love to laugh at buttfumble, but he had a career year last year. The collapse of the Eagles was more on the Defense than Sanchez. He performed well enough to be a starter on some lesser teams in the league. I'm not sure if he was courted at all, but he chose to stay with the Eagles, presumably as Foles' backup. Two days later, Bradford signs the deal, and Sanchez must have known about that while his contract negotiation was in place. And even though he was promised a "QB competition" in the offseason, it was pretty clear Bradford was the guy. And yet he's never said a word about it, or expressed any hard feelings.
Maybe I'm wrong and he just wasn't wanted anywhere else but the Eagles. But I've just never gotten that vibe from Sanchez. Would he like to be the starting QB? Of course. But to me it seems he knows his job and sticks to it

Welcome beautful toddler, Madison Elizabeth, to the horde!
The Lions tried to get Mike Valenti fired. 97.1 the Ticket host. He tells the truth.

The entire Lions organization is hot garbage.
Well I think he knew Foles was out, so he'd possibly get a shot in a system he was at his best in. I don't have a problem with him. Like I said earlier, he is an excellent QB in Chip's system but only if he doesn't turn it over. Which he has never shown he can do
But there's lots of reasons to think they can still win the division. Sturgis isn't going to get better, but opposing kickers should start being mortal. They've lost 3 games by 3 points or less in games where they have missed FGs. I'd expect them to win the next two pretty comfortably. The goal is really just to have a win and in for the last two games vs WAS and NY

From what I've heard, the game is fun for like 10 hours. Most people got their fill on EA Access for the week before the game launched
Oh I agree. Sanchez is fine in the offense, his turnovers just kill him. But it's absolutely possible we still win the division. The Cowboys are pretty much out, even with Romo back I don't think they will win out with the Panthers, Packers, Jets and Bills still on the schedule. And they still have Redskins twice, who always seem to split with divisional opponents. The Giants are probably the frontrunners now, but we'll see how their injuries catch up to them. And the Redskins are quietly making a push. This division may suck, but at least the division winner won't be decided in early December
I believe it, gotta love Redbox for having all the new big games available to rent! Saves me money.

The Dolphins one is, it's annoying. The other station has Omar Kelly, fuck him.
Yeah it's a very shallow game until the $50 season pass content drops......
I'll just get a GOTY edition at that time with all content included.
EA just making bank on star wars die-hard nerds

Iupati is good to go which is great but Cooper got injured which came out of nowhere and will likely miss the game so scrub Larsen will be back in I'm concerned about how the line will hold up against the Bungle's DL but Carson bounced back in SEA after getting nailed and fumbling two possessions in a row so I know we can still make plays. Floyd out sucks, he had such a great game against SEA but John Brown is finally practicing so I think he'll return after not playing the last few games. He's a huge part of our offense so if he's good to go, that will largely make up for no Floyd but it's so deadly when we have Fitz, Floyd and Brown all healthy at the same time. Our WR group is deep as fuck though so not too worried there. The rest of the league learned who Jaron Brown was last Sunday and we still have our rookie JJ Nelson who's even faster than John Brown...
Anyway, I'd be extremely confident if the line were healthier but still love our chances for winning this game, especially in our house. Don't the Bungles choke every single time they play in primetime? Well, at least all the playoff games and now MNF so probably a good chance they choke this Sunday, yeah? Feast on the ginger, secondary! #noflyzone

Star Control 3 happened.
Seems very similar to Nintendo with Splatoon, except those updates were free. Splatoon is fantastic but there wasn't a lot there at launch. Thankfully they've expanded it since then

Pretty much my strategy at this point
Problem is that it's a shooter and I'm not sure if those player bases actually get larger as time goes on since there's always a new one coming around the corner.

Well you live in a one horse town.
Who even has electricity much less a game console?
My town isnt that small yet. Even though it'll be there at some point when all the oil is gone and people are done smoking and Zippo goes under

You're not lying. Dudes in that thread openly declaring that RT and their subscribers deserved to get hacked.
Oh yeah BB wasnt that cheap but my local mom and pop store was. Freds video! He also fixed our old crt tv (like this one) after I threw a pillow at it and the speakers busted.
You were a violent little bugger. Must be where the cabbage hatred came from

If the Cowboys can lose 7 straight without Romo, they can win 7 straight with Romo. The road to the playoffs begins Sunday!
completely disagree.
The problem linemen face is the fact that they are more unprepared than ever coming out of college. Same with QBs.
You see the best teams have little to no problems with their offensive lines or tackling. So the less practice thing is just an excuse to me.
Yeah Battlefront is nothing special, just a reskinned Battlefield with Star Wars people, returning tomorrow.
Games are not that fun to me anymore
Bring back old school Battlefront and Socom damnit.
I'd kill for a new Jedi Knight game.
what did the IT people, the administrative staff, house keepers etc all ever do to get fired?

Pfft, old school Battlefront is nothing special either. ;P
Especially one "Blaine Gabbert"!
Patriots IT employees are out there hacking opponents. What are the Lions IT dudes doing to help the team win?
More like GOATbert.
