At some point if it all crashes and we're left with casual games, there will still be a demand for regular traditional games and someone will provide the product. That's *after* a crash though...

In the meantime, I can't see PC not trucking along bit by bit but then again even PC sales are declining and AMD might fail so......neat.
If Apple sold the Apple TV with a Wii U controller for 129 I bet it would decimate the console market. Doesn't have to be Apple either. Samsung could do this and so could Google.

Die hards would still get the new traditional consoles but there are not enough of them.

I dont even care at this point, would do both images.
This is the Internet dude. You have to pretend like you would not fuck supermodels while actually masturbating into a sock while watching fuglies on youporn when you are not banging the occasional female version of Andrew Luck.

Typical, weak, broad stroke, spray and pray, generalized, white knight, Brady-like defense.

The front is well worth it and you're white, so it's cool. The back is puzzling. She gained weight, but none of it went to her ass. That's an abomination! Reminds me of Hank Hill's butt.
 
Oh I sort of laid out how I would do it. Let all the FAs walk and cut the higher dollar guys. Let Reed and Kruger go

OLB Terrell Suggs -- $13,020,000--cut
DT Haloti Ngata -- $11,500,000--keep
WR Anquan Boldin -- $7,531,250--restructure
OG Marshal Yanda -- $7,450,000--keep
RB Ray Rice -- $5,750,000--bye
CB Lardarius Webb -- $5,385,000--tough choice
OT Michael Oher -- $4,955,000--bye
WR Jacoby Jones -- $4,900,000--bye
FB Vonta Leach -- $4,333,334--gone
LB Jameel McClain -- $4,200,000--gone

Then you dump all of Flacco's salary that you can into year one and rebuild. The only way you can operate in my opinion. Can't carry around a consistent $20m hit on the same guy year after year

You don't let Suggs go, and you definitely give Ladarius another shot. When he's healthy, he's top tier. I'm pro trading Rice, not cutting.

Or, you know, you could non-exclusive franchise tag Flacco and see who wants to give Ozzie two (most likely high) first rounders and see what he can do.
 
Sign Flacco for like 6 years and $125 million but structure it so he only counts like $10m against the cap this year. Ravens are $5m over now so they would have to restructure a few guys to get under but it is definitely doable. Tagging Flacco will kill the cap, he would count $20m this upcoming year and they would have to lose a bunch of guys.

That's why you do non exclusive franchise, which is 14 mil, plus someone will pay Flacco and give up the picks: Cheifs, Jags, Browns, etc. You don't get many chances at a once on a lifetime talent like Joe Flacco.

You are nuts if you think they can let Flacco walk. If he leaves and does well/the team struggles to replace him Ozzie will be run out of town faster then the Colts left. That is a risk no GM can take.

Yeah fanbase will revolt if they trade cool Joe.

Also Lakers are depressing as fuck. And not even any Fire Emblem to cheer me up. :(

The outcry if he went to a different team and they made the playoffs while the Ravens didnt would be off the charts.

The Lakers situation is so fucked, they should have brought Phil back but Dwight is worthless I doubt it would have made much difference. I am not a Kobe fan but he is totally right about Dwight not wanting to win enough. I feel bad for what ever team gives him a max contract in the offseason.
 
But the Packers dont need a running game since they have Fraudgers.
If Harris can continue to impress things are going to mucho better next season.
Alex Green can be our 3rd down back.

Rice's salary is peanuts though and he's young. Definitely worth it.
IR him until week 8 and let him be our playoff pony.

We'll take a TE in the 1st.

Letting him walk and getting 2 1sts, plus resigning important pieces is different than letting him walk for nothing. It's also different from signing him and losing/cutting a third of your starters with no money to replace them.

But I have full knowledge that what I want is not what will happen.

I want to see EZ's reaction to this post so much.

Not sure what he can disagree with?

Probably Green?

True he was objectively dogshit first 8 weeks.

Incidentally when Faturday was benched (haha get it he's fat) Green performed much better.
He also had better vision and was more decisive in his cuts the 2nd half of the season.

Where has FMT been? He had that one post in the Super Bowl thread and hasn't been seen since. Does he usually disappear after the season is over?

Nice to see you, fmt. That avatar is disgusting. And I'm never forgiving you or the 49er's franchise for this heresy. We could have had an entire off season dedicated to the disucussion of how Ray Lewis' failures cost them a SB and how much it tainted his legacy. Instead, they're erecting a statue in his honor.

Did you just cut Ray Rice at $5.75M? :jnfc

Free agent CB Sean Smith is expected to seek $8-10 million annually on the open market.
Smith and his agent anticipate a deal somewhere between Brandon Carr (five years, $50 million) and Jason McCourty (five years, $43 million). Per the Miami Herald, the Dolphins don't believe Smith is worth that much and for good reason. Although very physically gifted and only 25, Smith struggles versus smaller, quicker receivers, and Pro Football Focus charted him with more combined first downs and touchdowns allowed than any NFL cornerback in 2012.


damn..

I actually like Pierce better. Joe needs to get paid. Tough cuts all around. Like I said, Webb is the tough choice. Ozzie mentioned in that article I posted that they weren't going to do a bunch of restructures to try and keep the team together like they did last time after a SB win. The Ravens aren't a team that's about to make a run with this group.

Tear it down. Pay Flacco. Have good cap situation starting in 2014. I do agree with the notion that someone, probably CLE, would sign him if he gets the non-exclusive tag. Perfect QB for Air Coryell

I didn't post for a few weeks after last year! My soul needs to heal.... And it will!

I know this feel. I was rooting against you but that is the worst feeling waking up Monday morning. After the Broncos won in 1997, I was nauseated everytime John Elway was on tv and Terrell Davis doing that dumb salute.
