Pats working our Taylor Mays during their rookie camp.

I really overhyped him out of USC back when he came out 🤔.

Also, BG, can you please fax me my position on the Browns power rankings? I need it for my resume.

Using this gif is insensitive to people with disabilities. Smalls is trapped in his own personal hell!

EDIT: Also, the kid is 35 now and can't go anymore.

Wouldn't the character be in his mid to late 60s since it took place in the 60s?

Also I always see a younger Martin Short in that gif.

The Texans have signed UDFA linebacker Dylan Cole from Missouri State. He was the No. 9 LB on our draft board.

Did some research and most draft guys had him being drafted anywhere from round 4-6 yet he went undrafted. Why did no one take a 6-7 th round flyer on him?

I was talking about the younger Smalls.

The guy in his 60s was tragically eaten by a baby T-Rex at the end of The Lost World.

Yes it all comes down to Jones recovering. But why are you so focused on this year? This isn't a Super Bowl caliber team, even if everything goes according to plan I see them winning a wild card game, maybe winning the division and hosting that wild card game. So I'm not too concerned about Jones not playing this year. If he gets back to 100%, Year 1 will be rough, but Years 2-10 will be amazing. I'm tired of 1 year fixes and hoping they patch things up. This draft, they took the long road and that's the right move. This year all I want to see is the defense have improved secondary and pass rush play, and Wentz to take the Year 2 leap. If those two things happen, 2018-2019 we'll be pretty well set up.

Plus Douglas will never, ever stay in the slot. He's long and slow. Slot receivers are small, fast, and shifty. He'd get eaten alive. Plus, considering Robinson has been a great nickel corner and a mediocre outside corner, he's gonna be the nickel guy along with Brooks. Douglas may start the year with some nickel snaps, but I doubt he'll stay there.

Super Bowl caliber team isn't as easy to predict as people think. Did anyone think the Seahawks had a SB caliber roster? Or that a Matt Ryan led team could ever make the SB?

Assuming Wentz takes the next step and offense performs much better with Wentz improving and the WRs they have added, you would have to think they contend for the division or WC spot. If they get into the playoffs, who knows who they face and if they can advance.

With that said, I personally, hate the mentality of "oh hey we are 2-3 years away so let's take the long term view every move". That works if you don't have a QB but the Eagles do now. They have a QB who they brought in veteran WRs for. They have a good OLINE but it is aging. They have an aging pro bowl S and potentially a dominant DLINE.

The two biggest weaknesses are CB and RB. And if Wentz doesn't pan out or improve.

Say Wentz improving is a given, then the FO should be doing everything it can to make moves to win now and set them up for the future. Otherwise, why sign Alshon and Torrey when you could have just built through the draft?

Yeah no one knows who will be a Super Bowl caliber team next year (except the Pats). I actually said in my post that I think they can be in the wild card or maybe compete for the division. Once you're there, you're right, anything can happen. My concern is just that the key to a Super Bowl caliber team is depth, because injuries happen. I'm not sure the Eagles have great depth everywhere at this moment. Plus it's assuming rookies come in and hit the ground running. It could happen, and I think they'll be in contention late in the season. Although it'll be tough because imo the NFC East is now one of toughest overall divisions in the league (along with the AFC West and NFC South).

My issue is that since 08 it seems like this team consistently seems 1 year away from competing and they keep making big moves to try to get over the hump, and it never works. They finally said fuck it and went and got their QB to build around. So yes, now they got it. But it's not like they got prime Rodgers, Manning, Brady, etc. That's the level of QB that would win a Super Bowl with this team. Wentz isn't there. They got a rookie QB who was extremely raw (he only played in 25 games in his life before opening against the Browns). He showed a lot of promise, but he has a lot of development he needs to do. So they surrounded him with talent to make that development easier. Give him a Top 5 receiver so he doesn't have to play hero ball. Give him a deep threat that can stretch the field so safeties can't play so close to the LOS. His development is more important than winning games in 2017, because that'll set us up for the potentially the next 10 years. That's why they went and got those receivers, especially because if Jeffery balls out he'll be staying here for the early part of Wentz' career.

And regarding the OL, it isn't aging. Outside of Peters (and Kelce I guess but we have his replacement ready), the OL is young. With the arrival of Jernigan and Barnett, the DL has gotten younger too. I've liked the moves made this year, because when we drafted Wentz I thought that 2018 was the year we'd be pushing deep into the playoffs. BG and Jenkins would still be in the end of their primes, Cox, McLeod, and Hicks would be entering their primes, Wentz would hopefully develop into the potential he had, and our OL would be young and peaking too. Now with their moves this offseason, 2018 will also have Jernigan and Jeffery either entering or in the middle of their primes, plus Douglas getting more comfortable at CB and Barnett settled in at DE, Mills in Year 3 and hopefully developing into a solid depth corner, and Jones coming back to hopefully be the star he's supposed to be. So I hope and think they can see a playoff win this year, but next year is the year I'm expecting big things.

cdy should i drop $110 extra on a 144hz freesync monitor to go from 1080p to 1440?

Depends on what will playing on the monitor, I would guess. If your hardware can't run the type of games you usually play at 1440, etc. there isn't really any point in my view.

Looks like there is a thread for that stuff: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=720113&page=10

But you might get a quicker answer in the general PC building thread: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1352338

Threesome with her mom and brother

Also known as "Florida Porn"
I find it extremely weird how popular incest porn is in the US.

WTF is wrong with you people?

You go and do a normal search for a MFF amateur threesome and the half the results are incest bullshit.

We JCBs need our own land. Free from weirdos with switches for all.
