NFL 2016 Week 8 |OT| - Plays of the Week

Our defense was playing pretty well before everyone died.

Cam's injury seems to have hurt the most but we have lost everyone else since then.

We are doing shit even if our offense gets healthy if we can't stop the run.

Health is the worst part of the NFL. Total luck.
Steelers actually had the best plan against the Pats this year. They dropped everyone back so it would take long time consuming drives. They just don't have the personnel like a Denver to really make it work.
 
Damn that's a bit on the steep side. Dallas doesn't have players to package either so it would need to be picks unless the phins want DMC. Sounds more like a pipe dream unless they play up him being on the wrong side of 30 to get a better deal. If Jerry thinks the Cowboys have a shot at an owl and wants to go all in I could maybe see this happening. Don't worry friend I'm sure Wake will retire a phin.

Yeah kinda pricey, don't think they'd get anyone to buy at that price if they even tried to trade him. Just like JT I know Wake will come back to us but I hope he at least gets an owl out of it :(

If I'm looking for jobs in or outside my state, what's the best website to use?

Sometimes I feel like job boards are outdated with their listings.

I didn't even peep this when I posted this yesterday, but how does the league even know how many calls were blown for each player going all the way back to 2013?

(BR WARNING)

This article goes into the potential ramifications of the league having a secret bad call database.
I wonder if a third party would be willing to step up and try to track those stats. Would be rather labor intensive, but it would definitely stir some shit and get some exposure for an outlet.

You need to win the one on one matchups to make that work. Either up front or in making the tackles and allowing no YAC.

I actually like our matchup with the Pats this year if we are healthy and if we are at home. But neither of those look likely to happen...
 
I don't have one but doesn't everyone who has one absolutely love the console and its games?

I feel like people like the U far more than they did the Wii.

I bought a wii u day 1. it sucks

if I thought about it and came up with a list of games that made me think "this was a good purchase" and that list was more than 5 titles, i'd be shocked

I have no reason to doubt you. And I cannot say you are wrong because I have never even played one.

I can also say the same thing about my PS4. I bought it shortly after launch and the only game that appealed to me since then has been Shovel Knight and Rocket League. Total waste of money for me (though most people will think I am crazy). I should buy Rocket League but I am a little afraid of the time sink in that and I usually hate online multiplayer. Much prefer it on one screen when people are together.

I remember preordering the Wii U. To preorder at Wal-Mart you couldn't just out right purchase it - you had to put it on lay-a-way. I never felt lower in my life.
 
Croc's new NFL overtime rules:

-ball starts on 40 yard line
-offense has 4 plays to score touchdown
-no first downs
-no field goals
-first two running plays are free
-if you score, opponent must score in same number of plays to extend OT, or fewer plays to win
-turnovers end possessions
-turnovers returned for TD end game

Man...I have alot of mixed emotions about this.

The Bills really need help at WR, but this guy retired for health purposes (namely his nagging hip). Is he even going to be ready for MNF?

That must have been one hell of a phonecall from Rex to Percy.
Yeah. Hey Percy I know no other teams wanted you but are you down to make some money?

Let me see if I can do this:

Mario Kart 8
Donkey Kong: Tropical Freeze
Smash Brothers
Mario 3D World
Xenoblade Chronicles X
New Super Mario Brothers WiiU
Yoshi's Whooly World (haven't played much of this, but the bits I played were fun)

The bolded games were worth buying the console for alone.

No Super Mario Maker or Splatoon?
 
The AFC West is gonna be interesting.

"Denver has a brutal 2nd half schedule. Opponents are a combined 38-22. #Raiders remaining opponents are 34-28, Chiefs opponents 37-32."

I agree with this. 3D World and Tropical Freeze in particular are masterpiece-tier. Some people would probably add Bayonetta 2, Splatoon, and Super Mario Maker as well but I didn't get into those.
