Peter King is always pushing for teams to have rivalry games based on proximity (SF/Oak, Baltimore/Washington, NY/NY, Houston/Dallas, etc). Does anyone else want this? I really like how predictable and sensible the schedule is now. Shoehorning in a Bears/Colts game just doesn't make a lick of sense. Who cares if the Chiefs rarely play the Rams?

Yeah this doesn't make any sense. Peter King is just an idiot. MLB can shoehorn in these "natural rivals" games (like the Red Sox and Atlanta...?) every year because they have too many damn games on the schedule and they need something to spice it up. Boston had been playing the Braves for a few years but nobody cared... Almost nobody living vividly remembers the Braves playing in Boston, at least not enough to harbor any emotions about them 65 years later. Now Atlanta plays Toronto in their "natural rival" game which just makes no sense whatsoever. now, I think the Red Sox play the Phillies? Like... I kinda get the Bruins/Flyers or Celtics/76ers... But I don't harbor any rivalry with Philadelphia in any way.

NFL's scheduling is excellent because it's so sensible, predictable, and balanced. It's easy to say like "Washington played an easy schedule!" this year, but really, their schedule was 2 games different than the Cowboys. And next year, Washington will draw those #1 seed division winners from their conference, while Dallas will draw San Francisco or Chicago, or whoever is last in those other non-scheduled divisions.

Those SF/OAK games are better because they don't play that often... once every 4 years, it makes it more special. If you had to suffer through SF/OAK, or DAL/HOU, Giants/Jets, Bucs/Jags on prime time every year it'd be brutal.

I wonder how it would work with the three Florida teams. Bucs/Dolphins and then Jags/Falcons? While the Panthers twiddle their thumbs? It's pretty clear Peter King is from the North East where there are real rivalries between cities. But most of the country isn't like that.

Yeah, and even then... Boston is 3.5 hours from New York, 7 hours from Buffalo... We already play our two "natural" rivals twice a year. Assuming the Giants are the natural Jets rivals, the Patriots would be matched up against some random team that nobody cares about... Philadelphia, I suppose... Philadelphia is a fine, irrelevant city to me, I've been there a few times, had a good enough time, and that's that.

Keep Dan Campbell!

You know you're in good shape when guys still don't know their roles in Week 17.

They were playing fine a few weeks ago, before Johnson returned from injury, they just need to get back to that. If this L forces a shakeup on the line, then it'll be good in the long run. I was worried about what would happen to Ealy after Johnson came back, and it's really been worst case scenario. Johnson has performed poorly while coming off the bench has hurt Ealy's production. These are the kinds of things coaches get paid to figure out though, and they still have time do it.

Hey, it worked. Johnny Hekker intimated the Seahawks into not blocking Aaron Donald any time ever

To be fair, can anyone block Aaron Donald any time ever?

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Panthers getting a free win every year against the Titans doesn't sound that bad to me tbh

 

[Plasticine]

Really is the best option even though Browns fans are losing their minds about this. You have to stop the coaching carousel. They seem to forget when they hired Petine coaches were turning down interview offers from the Browns. Not exactly enticing free agents or draft prospects.

I know forcing a coach on a new GM isnt ideal but it is the Browns best option.

There's really no good option for the Browns. We all know how this is going to go. Petine sticks around while the new GM trades off the roster and brings in some free agent cast-offs, setting the stage for the next draft when the team will be loaded with picks. The team struggles to 4 wins. Petine gets the ax. The GM brings in his guy to start fresh with his massive haul of draft picks. Unfortunately the new coach is just as bad as Petine and the Browns are stuck in hell for another two years while the rebuilding effort falls apart. Everyone is fired in year three, and the franchise starts over again.

For whatever reason he is extra-dominant vs SEA. It's 2 years in a row, now. Not sure why SEA hasn't adjusted.

Nope. Colts are getting in, and they are knocking us out again at home. For that to step from destiny to reality, the Broncos have to win tonight.

Pfff

Weeden is to old for FB

Also

There is a long interview on famitsu, but not really much detail on the game (it seems funny interview though)

-DOA5LR and DOAX3 dev team is different. DOA5LR update team is not the same team as the DOAX3 dev team, but they share information.
-The biggest feature of Soft Engine 2.0 is ass. We wanted ass jiggle. We also added sunburn effect and clothe falling off.
-They initially wanted to put ass jiggle on DOA5LR, but since it was a fighting game they thought people wouldn't notice it as much. But with DOAX3, there are stuff like gravure mode so people will have lots of opportunities to notice those jiggles.
-Each characters have different ass jiggles. Also each swimsuit has different jiggles. So ass jiggle pattern is '# of character X # of swimsuits.' We want users to feel the difference in ass jiggle on each characters.
-Director Shinbori didn't really care about ass at first, since he was only focused on boobs. But as he worked on DOAX3, he realized how amazing ass jiggle is. Playing DOAX3 will make people realize how amazing ass is.
-Ass jiggle is technically a lot more difficult to create than boob jiggle. Boob jiggle was mainly focused on the movement of bones. But with ass jiggle, it bends according to the movement of the leg. It's very difficult to portray that bending in the graphics. They are calibrating it everyday to get it right.
-They also added the slight skin deformation with swimsuits. (it's the effect where tight swimsuit slightly deforms the skin)
-In past DOA games you (the player) are the one who is controlling the character, but with the new Owner mode, the character is focusing her attention to you (the player). DOAX1 was out 13 years ago, and the idol culture have changed a lot over the years. Back then, people were satisfied with just looking at those idols. But now, the fan's relationship with the idol is much closer, and they want the idol's attention. So instead of just looking at girls, we wanted the players to interact with the girls this time.
-When we thought of the owner mode, we also decided to implement PSVR feature. We haven't actually made the PSVR feature yet, but we want to have the feature ready when PSVR hits the shelves.
-Popular swimsuits from past games will be in
-The game supports cross-play, but you can't trade money/items. There are specific swimsuit you can only get in certain version (like venus swimsuit is only on Vita, fortune is only on PS4) With cross feature you can use venus swimsuit on PS4/fortune on Vita.

Apparently Charles James II, AKA Sock Game, had been playing with a fractured foot for a month. Will now go on IR because he fully fractured it on Sunday.

 

[squicken]

Whitehurst to IR. Stephen Morris was on the Eagles practice squad like a week ago and may start. Crazy year

 

[Striker]

“He’s scared like a little girl,” Bennett said. “He’s trying to hurt Cliff. Cliff’s got a family too. He come and chips Cliff, what if Cliff blows his knee out? That’s the kind of player they’ve got on their team.”

fuck Jeff Fisher though

If Ho Ho Ho clears the last phase of the concussion protocol on Wednesday, he will start vs. Jaguars.

We shall see.

I remember seeing this and wondering how he wasn't ejected. That's probably too far, but UR at a minimum.
