    2022 NFL Offseason Thread: Looking forward Tua better future!

    To be fair, Big Ben retiring with two this season also contributes, but yeah, Brady and Belichick's dominance of an entire league will likely never be replicated in pro sports again. That said I can't imagine that stat will hold true for too much longer, between Mahomes, Allen, etc.

    Will Smith n Oscar Town

    I literally haven't followed the 2021 releases at all, but if recent trends persist, Dune wins the majority of technical awards (maybe + Cinematography), Power of the Dog the favorite for production / direction /screenplay with West Side Story the main competition (probably Costumes), with...

    Reacher

    Now that I have seen the rest, it just comes off as Diet Justified. It's fine, but I can't imagine ever watching (or possibly thinking) about Season 1 again.

    Reacher

    Only a couple episodes in, but all this has done so far is make me bitter the original Jack Reacher movie wasn't better received. The sequel sucks ass, mind you.

    NVidia GeForce RTX 30x0 cards

    All humor aside, games that use Windows 11's Direct Storage will release sooner or later. When I put together most of a PC recently (god damn video card shortages), I paid extra for the PCIe 4.0 M2 drive for future applications, not today, because why not.

    The Book of Boba Fett

    Seriously, was the original title "The Book Of Pedro Pascal's Contract Negotiations"? It also kind of says it all that once this show got rid of the title character, it improved dramatically.

    The Red Letter Media Appreciation Thread

    Short version: Videogames. Longer version: As dudes spent their free time on videogames, and especially networked videogames, the moviegoing audience shifted from male teens watching any available action movie to youngish females. Hence the current nightmare era of female sci-fi/action remakes...

    2021-2022 NFL Season: Deshaun Watson will die a Texan!

    That sucks, or that is so appropriate, that that is Jimmy's last throw as a 49er? You'd have to think that, given the Rams and Stafford, that the 49ers try to bring in a veteran (obv. Rodgers would be the #1 option).

    The 49ers are going to (hell, who knows, maybe winning) the Super Bowl with Jimmy G, then justifiably getting rid of him after the season? I mean, at least Dilfer was a backup.

    Obviously I am not happy with all the outcomes, but in terms of quality of games, this has to be one of the best divisional weekends ever, right?

    I feel worse about the Packers loss now, looking like we wouldn't have had to deal with Brady :\

    Packers needed another option out there other than Adams and Jones once Dillon went out. Grats 49ers Special Teams, you managed to beat the Packers yourself.

    General Gaming News and Discussion

    While mergers never seem to be worth their price tags, that's especially true here. Blizzard ain't worth shit anymore. Hell, if WoW falls under GamePass, then there won't even be box sales every two years (?) Call of Duty still has some cachet, mostly due to their competition imploding, but...

    2021-2022 NFL Season: Deshaun Watson will die a Texan!

    It seems appropriate this year that we have no more confidence in the #1 seeds than anyone else. I _think_ the 49ers are banged up enough that the Packers squeeze past them, but I have near zero confidence they go 3/3 to win it all.

    Moon Knight

    If you didn't like the tail end of Season 1, no, not even Noah Hawley's musical numbers will likely do much for you

    Moon Knight

    I have a hard time imagining this will compete with the good parts of Legion (aside from budget), but like most Marvel shows, I will watch it and go "It was fine."

    The Cowboys lose and the 49ers get further banged up before they come to Green Bay. Niiice. (I'm not as excited to watch TB demolish whatever NFC West team, however.)

    Eagles, this is a lost cause, at least injure (playoff injure, not career injure) a couple Bucs on your way out.

    The Matrix Resurrections (2021)

    All this Matrix talk made me watch the second movie again, and: 1) That movie has way more dead time than I remembered, but 60% of it is still great. 2) I wish they had pulled a Lucas and just used Resurrections' budget to redo the rubber-Neo bits in Reloaded instead. And cut out nearly all of...

    2021-2022 NFL Season: Deshaun Watson will die a Texan!

    Honestly, the most surprising playoff team (to me) this year is the Eagles. I am down with the NFC East being a random crapshoot again.

    2021-2022 NFL Season: Deshaun Watson will die a Texan!

    Players don't get to decide if they are too injured to play, the medical staff does, and lord knows there have been enough examples of clearly hobbled players dinking around the field as mere decoys. Given AB's history, it neither surprises me that the Bucs would want a second opinion (if that...

    This board has discussed this over the years - it pretty much all boils down to division games also hitting your conference record. Two Clubs Head-to-head, if applicable. Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the conference. Three or More Clubs (Note: If two clubs remain tied...

    2021-2022 NFL Season: Deshaun Watson will die a Texan!

    When/how the hell did the Eagles finish the season above .500? Or is the new mark of competence now 10 wins? Also, there's still a way none of the Browns, Ravens, or Steelers finish above .500?

    As predictable as it sounds, I still think Chiefs / Bucs. That said, the Cowboys and Ravens will make it interesting in the playoffs, until they suddenly shit the bed. Packers may luck into GB weather / the bye stretching their exit until the NFC Championship game.

    So are the Saints in Bears hell now? Never doing poorly enough to have a chance at a top 1/2 QB and hoping they get lucky with the 5th QB taken? IIRC they don't have anywhere near the cap space to take a run at a Russell or Aaron this offseason.

    The Packers needed 4 Interceptions to barely keep ahead of a 7-7 team. I just do not understand how people think they are a major contender.

    It seems like everyone has forgotten what percentage of the Packers' Oline is replacements and newbies. I have zero hope of them holding out against a playoff-caliber defense - hell, the Packers getting the 2nd seed and having the Vikings come in as the 7th seed and fold Rodgers in half again WC...

    The Packers have no healthy OL, the Cardinals are now getting bit by injuries, and no one should have any faith in the Cowboys getting the #1 seed. Cue everything lining up for Brady again.
