I personally don't think the defensive line would have held up through the playoffs though looking back on it. Losing Osi for the season early on, we didn't have much depth at DE at the time and our tackles were run down. Kiwi/Tuck were wearing down as well. That lack of depth and lack of production in the sacks/hurries department over the last few games was as apparent as the loss of Plaxico was.
No guarantees but that '08 unit was damned good when they were intact. They ran roughshod over most of the league. Pittsburgh was one of the few defenses that held our run game in check and we still won that game. One of my favorite games of the last few years! Definitely a solid chance they could have had Plaxico not gone the way of stupid.

He also doesn't love any record of his time in San Diego. I'm pretty sure he's convinced himself that he has always been a Saint.
As the article says, record means nothing once you get to the playoffs. Coughlin should know better than most about that!

Please, repeating is hard without cameras, cocaine, or Joe Montana. What did Coughlin expect?

Especially when the Giants play their best when their backs are against the wall. No one was saying fire Coughlin in 2008, that team never had a chance.
Does anyone here want their team to start 11-1 next year? It's almost a guarantee of not winning a SB

Well, going by the recent trends I think we know the answer to that question.

When the Eagles do win a SB I definitely want it to be a year where they dominate and go 14-2 during the regular season. I will take any SB but I would much rather it be a wire to wire deal, rather then get hot in the playoffs.

and the Leafs.

Yeah they really tore it up this past year when their backs were against the wall
And the Raptors and the Blue Jays.
If 2 out of my 4 teams win a championship soon I hope my tag gets changed.
lol the Blue Jays won back to back World Series. The Raptors have just never won the ping pong ball contest when an elite player was in the draft. Most teams in the NBA have no chance anyway
Leafs and Browns . . . probably a curse there
Yes I saw the Jays wiwn both I was 9 and 10 for both.
I want a championship now so I can get drunk and party.
I thought ten year olds getting drunk and partying was a regular thing in Canadia.
You didn't party when the Browns won this year?

Jags update:
The Lions are going to end up drafting yet another wide receiver because no free agent wr wants to come here. Not that I can blame them. There's no chance to move up to number one, and if healthy both Burleson and Broyles will be on the field as often as possible.
If there's two things I hate on gaf, it's canadia and the browns.
and i enjoy our friendship kave but really you had to be both?

I'm gonna miss Jason Hanson. Must suck for most of your career to be regulated to one team with bad season after bad season; especially when he was good enough to go to a contender at various points.
Good pickup, I hope he's at least passable, most receivers sign with us and then disappoint.

Rolando McClain era over in Oakland:

His statement:
They're going to win the division.
Edit: Even as a 360 owner, seeing Microsoft willing dive into a lake of fire with this always online thing is incredibly entertaining. Sounds like my only console next gen (if I even get one) will be PS4.

Leafs are definitely cursed.
Years of shitty FO decisions, players who clearly don't give a shit then break their back for their national teams, Doug Gilmour suiting up as a Leaf for the second time then suffering a career ending injury on his first shift..
This season is better, though it's funny to hear the murmurs about their best scorer being an arab.
If you say so brah. But it must be embarrassing in the locker room or at the doctors office.
Maybe but I feel like everytime I used to go to Best Buy or GameStop it was mostly kids. I am sure adults keep playing games and are a significant part of sales, but I would wager that most sales are for kids/teens/young adults.
And :lol Skylanders? I think every kid I know who is older than 8 has an Xbox and is playing games like Gears, Halo and without fail COD.
Kids these days are spoiled as fuck. Not only do I see 8 year olds with Xboxes but most of them have iPads as well!

As I pointed out, I'm talking digital content here like DLC. Not what's being bought in stores which I actually agree with you on.
What's funny about it? You mentioned kids and teenagers. I'm not saying teenagers are buying and playing Skylanders but you must be kidding if you don't think that game is a big revenue generator mostly driven by children (which ironically goes to your point).bionic77 said:
My 6 year old has an iPad.
Which she loves and uses for everything from reading, learning games and general web surfing but then she's far more advanced than a majority of the kids in her class in that regard because she's been using it since she was 2-3 years old to play reading/learning games.
Take him off waivers please, don't let him pass waivers on this Bama shit. He'd be a good replacement for the convict since he's a convict himself.

For you guys who use one ,whats the best E-reader?

Are you just reading books, or do you want to to use it as a tablet?

I got the Kobo Mini. Elegant, cheap (Paid 40 bucks for it) , a week of battery life, fits in my pocket, and easy to read.
Only problem is that there's no backlight, so reading at night is cumbersome.
Kindle Paperwhite or Nook Glowlight.

Nothing wrong with going with the name brand one. I think the Kindle sells the most for a reason. My wife loves hers and I think they're a little over 100 bucks.
I was laughing because most of the kids I know don't play it because it is too "kiddy". Granted my sample size is small but most of them moved on from stuff like Skylanders, Wii etc to shit like Skyrim and COD. I wonder if that game still has good sales or is my anecdotal evidence is correct and those kids have moved onto the big boy consoles.
With DLC I guess kids just steal their parents cards or get gift cards. I mean how else are they filling up their iPads with so much shit?

Just beat Tomb Raider (Came with my friends video card along with Bioshock).
Pretty good game. The only thing that bugged me was how your crew members dont seem to realize you turn into a hardened killer about 10 minutes into the game.

Kindle Paperwhite is nice. Backlit, e-ink but more costly than what DK mentioned (bout $120).
The thought of an 8 year old playing Call of Duty scares me. No way in hell would I let my 8 year play that and I'm far from being some ultra-conservative type with goofy rules about content. Hell my daughter loves horror movies and as long as they aren't too gory, I don't have much issue with her watching them.
I guess some would view that in the same "scary" light I view an 8 year old playing COD....
Kindle because Amazon has the best store.
Amazing device. So awesome having access to all of your books at any time (and you can access them on your phone or PC for free
as well).

thanks guys
Some person in the Infinite thread talked about how his 5 year old (daughter?) played the game.
Call me oldschool, but I think that's pretty sick.

I dont have kids but I like to think I'm the rare type of person on this board that might some day spawn some little ones in a healthy environment. Even though I grew up playing some violent games (Resident Evil 1/2, Silent Hill 1, Ect) at an early age, I wouldnt let my kids play those types of games until I was totally sure they could handle the concept of reality and fiction.
So many lazy shitty parents out there who buy this shit to entertain their kids so they don't have to.
Lazy fucks get off the couch and take your 8 year old for a bike ride or to the library instead of buying them an Xbox or iPad.

Yeah and it's tough to make snap judgements without knowing the kid. You'd be surprised how mature some 5-6 year olds are in that regard. My daughter understands that horror movies are fantasy and while she isn't allowed to sit down and watch something like Hellraiser, Human Centipede or Sinister, she loves to watch Vanishing on 7th Street or the original Halloween. It doesn't scare her at all and she understands that it's all makeup and "pretend".
I feel like girls can handle that stuff at an early age. They don't go apeshit over games or movies. Boys are retarded though and need more discipline. At least IMHO.

You guys are babies. We played way worse shit than Bioshock. Actually a few months ago I bought Mortal Kombat 2011 and wanted to see all of the fatalities, so instead of just YouTubing them, I actually went through the trouble of performing them all. Thing is, for my opponent everytime I always picked Jade, Mileena, Kitana, or Sonya. I thought to myself, "Gee, I wonder what a psychologist would say about my exclusively choosing scantily clad, large bossomed women to murder horrifically." Didn't deter me from doing it though
