  3. Man, Wild Card Weekend was a great two days of Football. Here in the MGT the leaderboard has stabilized a bit, with not a lot of movement and BasemntDweller2 still settled in on top. It will take some risky gambles, but with 3 weeks left to play half the leaderboard is still in it. Let's see what the Divisional Round has in store! ########## WILD CARD WEEKEND RESULTS ########## Wild Card Feature Game: Baltimore Ravens (-3.5) at Tenessee Titans The Ravens take the game 16.5(20-3.5)-13 to oust the Titans and proceed to the Divisional round. Bets on Bal'mr win. Biggie and thewhyteboar were the only players to make this call. QUESTIONS 1) What will be the first scoring play of the Feature Game? Ravens TD, Ravens FG, Ravens, Eagles TD, Titans FG, Titans safety, or Titans? ($4,000 for the correct call) A ten-yard Tennessee touchdown has the Titans jump ahead early in the first. It would not last. 2) Which team in the feature game will score last? ($3,000 for the correct team) The final points of the Feature Game came from a 51 yard Justin Tucker boot. Ravens is the right answer. 3) What will be the highest scoring game of Wild Card Weekend? ($5,000 for the right guess) The Browns shocked Pittsburgh, hanging up 48 points en route to a win in a game that had a combined 85 points. 4) What will be the lowest scoring game of Wild Card Weekend? ($5,000 a correct guess) The Bears and the Saints battle to a combined 30 points in the lowest scoring contest of the weekend as New Orleans advances. 5) Call the winners: Cleveland at Pittsburgh L.A. Rams at Seattle Indianapolis at Buffalo ($4,000 for EACH correct named game winner, $7,000 bonus if you call all 3 correctly) Nobody called the Browns for the upset so no bonus earned this week. 6) Name any player that will have > 130 yards receiving during Wild Card Weekend. JuJu Smith-Schuster was the only receiver to break the 130 yard mark. Nobody called his number. ######### LEADERBOARD ######### @BasemntDweller2 - $164,700 Slug - $134,000 @thewhyteboar - $72,400 @AbsolutSurgen - $59,300 @Keyser_Soze - $37,100 @Biggie - $36,900 @ManUtdRedDevils - $35,500 @Commissar SFLUFAN - $29,750 @Alpha1Cowboy - $4,800 @Greatoneshere - $2,900 @Kal-El814 - $2,700 @Dodger - $1,500 If you think I mathed wrong, let me know. ########## THE SEASON ######### Week 1 Week 2 Week 3 Week 4 Week 4 Week 5 Week 6 Week 7 Week 8 Week 9 Week 10 Week 11 Week 12 Week 13 Week 14 Week 15 Week 16 Week 17 Wild Card Round ############################### DIVISIONAL ROUND FEATURE GAME AND QUESTIONS FOLLOW THIS POST!
  4. Finally started Ni no Kuni II. I'm not sure I'm going to stick with it...
  5. Necropost. Between China manufacturing delays because COVID and shipping issues, this is finally rolling out almost a year late. I got the address confirmation e-mail from the fulfillment center yesterday. When it finally arrives I'll do a review a mini detail pics for y'all.
  6. I think the secondary, while solid, had glaring weaknesses. Specifically getting off the field in 'and long' situations. Darby is solid, but has bad eyes and gets turned often. I'm not sure he'd be a starter elsewhere. Our pass D is good, but anchored entirely by our front 4 creating pressure. They can't hold the line if left to their own devices. This is evidenced by our unpressured passing allowance and the fact that we were one of the worst defenses against big plays. You look at our average yards allowed per play and it's really good, but in reality it was a whole lot of drives that played out like, "1st down 1 yard -> 2nd down -2 yards -> 3rd down 12 yards 1st down". While our averages were solid, it hurts to consistently have to be nervous on 3rd and 15 because you know we're suspect in the long game. I think getting some support for Fuller on the other side and maybe some greater speed at safety goes a long way towards filling those gaps. As far as the offense, yeah they were bad. But I have to point at the QB woes specifically. Haskins was not what we thought he was going to be. We have great young talent in McLaurin and Gibson, a line that is getting stronger (but still needs work) and reliable role-players in Thomas and McKissic. This is why (I know, it's football's most obvious statement) we need to solidify the QB situation. The offense was unproductive overall, but they got the job done when you had a smart veteran in with Smith. We were 5-1 in games Smith started. Is Smith coming back? In Heineke going to be that guy? He flashed a lot of potential out there, but I don't know. But it needs to be decided ahead of the draft; we can't have questions going into camp. I'm hoping Rivera see's what he needs to see to decide who his guy is going to be. Ultimately I think we have a strong core that can be built up. If the young players continue to buy into the system and our frankly amazing crop of rookies continue to improve then I'm optimistic. But yeah, solidify QB and get some guys who can strengthen our secondary and I don't think it's a stretch to see this being a 10 win team in 2021.
  7. Other than the bad ref call on that last drive, I'm not even upset. That was a respectable game. People thought we were gonna get wrecked but we showed we deserved to be there. This team improved 4 games from a 3 win team last year to win the East. I'm happy. We have a good young core we can build around. Solidify the QB position and get some secondary help and I think this is a team that will be competitive for a long time. I'm optimistic about our future. Hail to the Football Team.
  8. Deadline is today! Get your entry down before kickoff!
  9. Deadline is tomorrow! Don't miss your entry for the first round of the playoffs!
  10. Dig it, I'll check it out tonight. Rise is the first game I've pre-ordered in a long time.
  11. I'm saving it all up for our improbable, but ultimately destined Super Bowl win.
  12. They know it won't work but they can tell their stupid constituents that they "tried". Security in their personal power is more important than the country to them.
  13. Hump daaaay! Deadline is Saturday afternoon this week. Don't let it slip; get your entries in!
  14. This makes me wish Bloodborne would arrive already so I can back another Kickstarter.
  15. Tacos are smaller and open, traditionally using corn tortillas. Burritos are larger and enclosed, and traditionally use flour tortillas. While they often share interior ingredients, it's a difference of form and presentation. You can liken it to how an ice cream sundae and a milkshake have the same base and additional ingredients, but are differentiated by form factor, preparation, and how they're served.
  16. Pfft. My Motorola Razr does everything a phone could ever possibly need to do. Anyway, I gotta get back and pre-order my Zune. Later, nerds.
  17. Hey guys, I've just time-traveled forward from the 2005 IGN Message Boards to see all the wonderful new discussion and deba...oh...well, shit.
