NFL Offseason Thread 2015 |OT| All of our teams suck!

I'm all over Fire Emblem paraphernalia, it just makes niche series like that much easier to survive.

And I think Future and Plinko are the only other Amiiibo collectors here.
In a way my post is part of an ongoing effort to convince myself not to buy Amiibo. Those Fire Emblem characters though...

Must... resist...

I'm aware.

That's why I named the QB that actually was on that team.



Patriots have more incidents of being caught cheating than the Seahawks.

Seattle's head coach ran away from a college team that was known for cheating and had it's awards taken away.

Great role model to put in as the face of an NFL team

We already know you're a closeted Pats fan. Unless this is a cry out for help, in which case you need to make the change yourself.

Patriots have the most Superbowls won this year

Patriots have the most Super Bowls played against a Darrell Bevell-coached team this year.

Yep. I get folks frustration with finding them but its been a pretty laid back affair for me so far. Outside of ending up Target at opening to get Rosalina, eh. I'll gladly pay a small premium (I've never paid over $24 for one) to save me the headache of online or store hunting.

In store preorders at Toysrus/Gamestop seem to be the way to go.

Seattle rolled out their known juicer for the sb. he threw a nice roid rage fit at the end of the game and got ejected.

I don't. What kind of goon thinks they are entitled to an amiibo?

I'm content with waiting until Nintendo makes more. I have a 2 Peaches, a Kirby, and an unopened Marth. I also have a Toon Link that's preparing for shipment from Amazon. I tried to get some Rosalinas for my daughters, but didn't realize I would need to get to Target at opening to have a chance at one. Sucks, but I'm definitely paying more than MSRP for them. F-That.

:jnc, my man!

Sadly I think it's about time for him to hang it up. He's a legend and I don't have any problem with him staying as long as he'd like but VT has hit a ceiling with him and they've been downright bad the past few seasons.

Morally upstanding coaches don't win championships. :(

Only team to beat Ohio State! That's kind of like a championship

OL, DL, LB, you'd think. Improve depth for OL, LB, and get more pass rushers on the DL. Their only significant pressures came from either Hightower or Collins shooting up the middle.
Hopefully DL first round, they need a Wilfork replacement and fast.

I don't disagree with that but my comment is more along the lines of Nintendo creating artificial demand and creating a situation that benefits scalpers, etc. You could argue its good business practice (obviously it is as they are selling the things like crazy) but it creates a frustrating atmosphere for the consumer to try to get product they obviously want.

Giants fans how good is JPP in the running game, and how much is he looking for? Elite DE money?
One of the best run defending 4-3 DE's in the game. Can be fooled with the read option but he's stout otherwise.

He'll get paid and the Giants aren't letting him go. They are likely to franchise tag him. Sorry.:)

No More is about selling mugs and helping organizations under fire.

No surprise.

Who is behind all this?

No More describes itself as a "non-profit project" of Mariska Hargitay's Joyful Heart Foundation. (Asked to clarify what that means, Witt said, "NO MORE is non-profit project in the sense that it is a project of the Joyful Heart Foundation, a non-profit organization.") Everything that comprises No More, though—their logo's trademark, their webpage, their funding—comes back to corporations. When I asked who is paying for No More, Witt told me it's supported by the corporations listed on their homepage—Viacom, Prudential, Allstate, Verizon, and so on. Their trademark and web domains are owned by Kate Spade, a company known less for charity than for $358 purses that exude a certain WASPy charm. And it was co-founded by Jane Randel, a former senior vice-president with Kate Spade who specializes in "reputation and crisis management," "corporate rebranding," and "cause marketing campaigns."

Jane Randel is now an NFL consultant, brought on during the public relations crisis caused by the league's poor handling of several prominent players accused of domestic violence; she signed the post-Super Bowl email sent out to those who signed the group's online pledge to say, "No more." It's a telling set of of relationships. No More is a brand created as an extension of other brands, and has come to prominence at a time when its co-founder, a specialist in using marketing tactics to change the reputation of brands and make them seem socially conscious, found herself with a client in need of precisely these services. It's all the more telling given that No More doesn't seem to actually do anything, aside from existing as a brand.

What do they do?

The most confusing thing about No More, which describes itself as "an awareness symbol and movement," may not be that it doesn't seem to do anything, but that it doesn't even purport to do much in particular.

"Our role," the group says, "is to raise awareness ... and attract more resources and support for our partner groups."

What should the Pats be looking for in order to ensure the repeat?

Definitely DT, Vince is definitely running out of gas, if he hasn't already...Solder played well in the playoffs, but he really regressed during the regular season...I'm not sure they are bringing him back, may need to draft a future LT and bring in mid-budget vet to replace Solder for one year, not sure who is available though. I'm sure a mid-round pick will go a LB.

Please no WRs drafted in the first 5 rounds.

No More is about selling mugs and helping organizations under fire.

No surprise.

:(...but as you say, not surprising.
