Some dogs can be more work than others but that's a pretty silly general statement to make

Oh I didn't even need to press play.

Don has these fucking crazy rants that always come out of nowhere.

Per NYTimes, lawyer Jose Baez had a news conference today confirming Aaron Hernandez had CTE, and that researchers determined it was "the most severe case they'd ever seen in someone of Aaron's age" (27)

For what, exactly? Dude was murdering people long before he was drafted.

The work necessary is overrated. You give half a rat's ass about your kids and it's not difficult at all.

What you forfeit is time, but considering that we're talking on a video game message board most of us here waste our free time anyway.

Who are they gonna throw snowballs and batteries and battery-filled snowballs at this year

Well the raiders are at the Linc on Christmas so...JDR if they win and Dougie if they lose

 

[Dutch Gronk]

Okay, so a boy, a girl and a dog.

That should be the way to go.

Yes. That they shouldn't exist.

Count me in!

The personality is a dice roll but a good cat is great. It doesn't have the constant love and playful energy of a dog but also doesn't have the neediness either

Count me in!

Well you'd throw them even if we won

 

[Doominated]

The only way cats are cool is if they're brought into a house with a dog when they're a kitten.

Otherwise they just grow up to be vindictive little shits that don't know how to love.

I've had 9 cats. These are facts.

 

[Goro Majima]

Someone on my Facebook is trying to argue that the Packers arent a mismanaged team, that we should be happy just making it as far as we do, and that a Super Bowl or bust mindset is unrealistic.

This is the kind of complacency that makes me frustrated as fuck.

Missed this post but wanted to tie it into my lack of passion this season.

Every fucking season we have the same GM pick the players and trot out the same head coach and defensive coordinator and then we're shocked when Rodgers can't carry 21 other players to a Super Bowl win.

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills with this franchise. What's the definition of insanity again?

You just gotta get there early enough for the pregame warmups!

This is a pretty interesting article about how defensives have adapted to the new NFL rules and why we're seeing a decline in scoring so far this season.

You can follow that football math when you're living in a van down by the river.

In all my years of having season tickets it was always such a battle to get people into the stadium for the opening kickoff. Getting them in early would have been impossible.

Kind of strikes me as the Jimmy Johnson strategy, your DEs are now DTs, LBs are DEs, Safeties are LBs, aka range, speed, explosiveness. Also, split safety coverage, a ton of it.

Tonight we settle once and for all the debate over who is better: Nocal or Socal.

That's easy, we are better than the rest of the US

SoCal, all day every day.


Edit: Wait, are we talking about anything else than California?

 

[Dishwalla]

Saw a programming note that the game is now being televised on Comedy Central instead of NFL Network. Set your DVRs accordingly.

 

[LJ11]

To add to my above post, CFB teams have used a third safety often over the last decade to combat spread passing teams. TCU is a prime example, that team has been basing out of Nickel for a decade, they use a 3rd safety and sit in 4-2-5 all game, reason they've been a tough D for years.

 

[TraBuch]

Is tonight the night the 49ers look so bad that York finally sells the team out of embarrassment? Let's hope.

No debate norcal is better.

Yep. Teams are adapting for the passing game and no longer having to account for huge running backs/power run game as much. They can have a roving hybrid position much like Brian Dawkins used to do for the Eagles.

I also thought it was interesting how much less teams blitz now, yet still are able to generate more and more pressure from sending less players on the rush.

It's starting to spread to the NFL. It's called the Big Nickel defense and it was originally used in the 90s by Fritz Shurmur with the Packers, and started coming back into the NFL in 2013-2014

 

[Alligatorjandro]

The Patriots use 3 safeties a lot.

Yup Belichick used it last season against the Texans in response to the Dolphins almost coming back in the opener. Poor Texans didn't even score a point

It’s why having Harmon back was so huge. It allows Chung to play near the line where he’s best at.

 

[DizzyCaffeine]

So how bad is tonight's game gonna be? It's going to be worse than Texans v Bengals, isn't it?

These Rams unis....


Also, honest question, you always see Wade Phillips praised as a DC, so why does he move around so much?

Seems picky about who he chooses to play for as a DC. His best years were with Kubiak so far, hope he can at least be close to replicating that success under McVay.
