don't really care about the award show.

I am sad

I'm disgusted.

Yeah, I started farming Nergigante on my own after I dsicovered 90% of the time online a party of randoms will faint 2+ times. The odds of success went up if I had people higher than HR 14 in the group though.

Plus, it's much easier to break the parts you want solo than it is in multiplayer.

I think that quest only took me a little over 6 minutes the first try and that was with forgetting about the northeast camp and transporting it all the way to the southwest both times. You move much faster using the Kulu gloves with the Transporter Pro skill (or whatever it's called).

Congrats theawesomestevr for winning the Super Bowl!

Seriously surprised I wasn't the only one taking the Eagles there. Good job.

Thanks guys. I honestly was leaning Patriots earlier in the week (I picked them last year in a yearly playoff prediction thing against the Falcons for whatever that's worth). I decided some time yesterday I think that I was going to ride with Foles.

Can't take too much credit because I expected the Eagles' defense to play way better than they did, but I did believe Nick Foles was going to have a good game, but man, he had an awesome game.

Congrats to the Eagles and their fans (well, the not steretypical Philly fans at least >_>).

I just realize I confused put a 6 where it should have been a 5. Eagles had to win by 5, but they won by 8 so yeah, Stevr wins. (Other than that typo, was everything correct there?)

Congrats to you, Stevr! Well done. This means you can watch next year, right?

Thanks! I also picked the Eagles +3.5, so if they lost by 4-10, then Ashethan would have won that tiebreaker, but the points tiebreaker was correct I believe. Oh, and thanks for taking our picks and posting them!

I'll be honest though, I just really wanted Foles/the Eagles to win, so this was just icing on the cake.

As far as a draft prediction thread, it wouldn't surprise me if there's enough people on the board that would be interested, but I know I've never been good at or cared too much about draft orders. I still might participate anyway just for the heck of it if you do one though, Ashethan.

Lol at how far down the list Nick Foles is on the Super Bowl MVP voting page.

That's a very clear overturn on this one

Never completed the process of the catch

He absolutely did. He had 3 steps and then dove without being touched.

Thank you Cris Collinsworth for removing all doubt that you are a moron. 3 steps and a dive which is a football move. That is a touchdown.

Is this the kind of insanity required to beat the Pats?

Kill a ton of clock and go for it on 4th down at your own 45

I think with 5 minutes left, thye have to go for it logically. You either give the Pats a short field and your offense a chance to come back if they get 8 on the next drive, or you convert. Don't want to punt have have New England get 1st down after 1st down and never get the ball back.

StealThisSheen posted...

This almost looks done. Eagles currently can't stop shit.

Yeah, 1st half was a clear indication and 3rd quarter cemented that Nick Foles is going to have to win this game for the Eagles, or they're toast.

It didn't look like a wobble or bobbled catch but him taking an unorthodox position and getting it more snugly into his arm

That last angle shows it clearly slip into the crook of his arm

I'm glad it stood, but it shouldn't have

I totally disagree. The ball was still pinned between his forearm and his body. The ball is allowed to move. There needs to be clear loss of possession to overturn there.

Eventually the Patriots are going to get stopped, their defense needs to make a play or they aren't winning this game.

To be fair, the Pats' d has been beaten on some really tight coverage where Foles fit the throw in a very small window. This Eagles D is giving up plays to open receiver after open receiver. Not a great pass rush from either team so far.

Uh oh, Patriots realized during halftime they should just throw to Gronk every play. Eagles are going to have to climb on Nick Foles' back and hope he can carry them to victory.

Don't you also need to make an "act common to the game" in addition to that if you want argue it was a catch then fumble? Incomplete was the right call, IMO.

I'd have to see the play again, but I wasn't sure it was immediate that the defender got there and knocked the ball loose. I thought it was close whether Smith got an extra step in which is why I think they should have reviewed it. They only showed one replay of it, and it was from a bad angle to see the ball.

TD
There was the ref revival potion working it's magic.
It's ok though.

Are you an MWC alt? In what universe is that not a hold?

It was within 5 yards and he wasn't tugging his jersey or anything severe in a game where they've let everything go. If they were calling the game tighter, I'd agree with you, but that was a pretty inconsistent call given the rest of the game.

I also think they should definitely at least have reviewed the Torrey Smith catch they called incomplete. He caught the ball, got two feet in, then had it knocked out of his hands by the defender before he ever went to the ground. Seemed like they just wanted to avoid any controversy by not looking at another "is this a catch or not?" play.

Blown coverage after blwon coverage for the Eagles defense so far. Thise bodes well for the Pats.

He just didn't want anyone to believe that this will be a blowout Eagles' victory. Trying to keep it close for the fans.

Neither defense looking very strong here early. Not looking good for the Eagles unless they can turn that around.

BlueCrystalTear posted...

If the Eagles don't win this, I won't care about football for a long time. :( Uhh, blehhh, I'll say +3.5

That was supposed to read "If I need this" but I forgot what I had actually typed. >_> Whoops. Good luck to anyone wanting to see the Eagles win. God be with you all.

Not a smart coin toss call. Old man + expected weak flip + giant coin = heads call. When will these teams learn?!

Bump for tomorrow.

Confirming I have seen the topic. Will send picks shortly before game time most likely.

As much as it pains me to say this (and it does pain me greatly), I think Brady Quinn may have been overlooked for Comeback and Breakout Player of the Year. He lost most of the season last year to injury if my poor memory of last season serves me correctly. This will be the last time I mention this, however, because it sickens me to say anything positive about Brady Quinn ever.

If you don't mind, KCF, could you let us know what the QB ratings (passer rating/whatever other terms for it) are for the 5 QBs?
Oh, and while I'm askingfor stats, what were Tucker's 50+ stats? Thanks, KCF.

Looking like there may be a few players on the ballot I'll have to vote for despite it going directly against my voting principles!

Poor Wiki. I feel almost as bad for him after that Nick Foles performance as I feel for myself after losing to the Jets. :(

davidponte posted...

Crazy game. The loss was worth the comeback though. Good luck in the finals!

Thanks, and yeah I feel the same; I would gladly given up the picks victory for a Jags win. At the end I was just praying I could get some small sense of victory though. Would have been crushed if New England added points in the closing 2 minutes.

Ashethan posted...

Another boring Super Bowl. Can't wait until Brady retires. Then the Patriots can go back to being mediocre. Especially since they traded away Jimmy G.

Yeah, I hear you. This New England team is good relative to the weak AFC field they faced, but pretty bad compared to their past teams. It'll be real bad if Foles faces them I fear. I actually prefer the Eagles' defense though, and I don't know if Keenum and the Vikes' defense will be enough.

Too many injuries to star players this year made the rest of the playoffs hard to predict which is exciting, but the Super Bowl has a good chance to disappoint.

I think the Eagles would have won it all if Wentz didn't go down.

KommunistKoala posted...

definitely biased officiating, but terrible playcalling by the jags cost them this game

why stop doing what was working so well

Calling all passing plays when inside the Pats' 40 at the end with over 2 minutes left was just... ugh. I picked the Pats here though because of how obviously weak the Jags' offense is, and playing the Pats in New England, you're very likely to get the wrong end of the whistle.

Weak offensive teams can't overcome that. They need pretty much everything to go their way.

Now would be a good time for someone like Smuffin to come in here and guarantee the Patriots win this.

davidponte posted...

Do we believe in Blake Bortles?

I believe in him to throw a pick 6 to make your day. ;_;

Horrendous defense by Jacksonville there. Just grab Amendola's foot, and it's incomplete.

the pats best play all game has been "chuck it up and hope for pass interference"

the Pats are the #1 reason pass interference shouldn't be a spot foul imhotbqh

I don't mind that being called dpi, but I don't see how there was no flag on the Pats for that last drive for the Jags who would still have the ball if it was called.

k, that's dpi, but the last Jags offensive play wasn't?

both lbs were way too short in their zones on 3rd and 18

Just looked back at the tiebreakers, and while the score looks bad for me right now, if it does happen to be exactly 43 and comes down to that tiebreaker, I'm pretty sure I should win, since I'd be off by 3 points instead of 4. >_>

such an awful rule. Church could not have played that better.

Oh, apparenlty they put an extra 3 seconds on the clock way after the timeout was called.

How did supposedly only 6 seconds come off the clock on that play?

Brady thought he was getting sacked and panicked like 4 seconds before the pressure actually got there. lol.

davidponte posted...

All in all, those are some pretty similar tiebreaker picks.

I believe in the high scoring Jags win.

I will gladly accept this outcome as long as the Jags win.

FFDragon posted...

i still want to believe

I still want to believe, but I don't. :(

Bortles already missing wide open guys

I think I picked the same number for passing yards or something last week as my opponent. Either that or we were both one yard apart. But foxhead picked the Saints, and I took the Vikings, so it didn't matter.

davidponte posted...

Ligament sprain in the right thumb for Brady. It's not nothing.

lol

My pick is stil forming in my head.

I don't remember what Jukkie's trade was at this point, but I thought I sided with him on it at the time. That said, this doesn't even seem like a "this one guy's getting a bad deal, but it isn't egregious" situation.

This just seems straight up like it makes sense for both parties. I have one of the worst CB situations in the league, and I wouldn't trade a 3rd rounder for a 27-year old 78 CB (maybe if he was a 2nd or 3rd year player that would change, but at 27, I don't think there's any chance of that). The value seems very reasonable here.

LapisLazuli posted...

L2 is your 3rd character. Fireball + L1 or L2 bring in the super move combos for your 2nd and first respectively.

I could be totally wrong on this, but I think that's only for projectiles that use one bar of your meter. Like a teleporting kamehameha with Goku could be used to initiate the combo, but not just a regular, meterless kamehameha.

Also, obviously each assist super uses one additional bar of your meter.

Meow1000 posted...

Of all the sickening ways I've been eliminated in the past, I don't think I've ever been killed on a beat as bad as Foxhead's.

Just brutal.

I also picked the Colts in this league in that playoff game against the Chiefs a few years back when the Colts trailed at one point by 28. I feel pretty bad for whoever it was that lost out on that one.

Wow, I sure dodged a few bullets on that last play! Good thing I didn't have to pick the Pats/Titans game this week. >_>

SmartMuffin posted...

Horrible coaching and clock management. Absolute certain Saints win.

Could not have been more certain after this post it was going the other way. <3 Smuffin.

Vikings saving a lot of time for the Saints. Also thought Thielen was in bounds on his crazy catch.

KommunistKoala posted...

if only the Saints didnt miss that field goal

The Vikings missed the way easier one.

Right now, Minnesota's RT is routinely getting destroyed, so I'm not liking Keenum's chances here.
