please help identify the last time it acceptable life was a sample size of one
The entire NFL is Cover 4/6/8 with the obligatory Cover 1/0 that shows up. But even the most basic Cover 2 can now be quickly converted into a 4. Makes me miss the Cover3Hawk and I never thought I'd say that.
I'm guessing, like last offseason when Cover 2 was all the talk, it'll be cover 4 now that the journalists have learned it. Those reports are always funny because they are a year or two behind of what is actually happening.
There are small parts of the NFL about which I feel I understand a good amount.
And then there are defensive coverages and formations
Haha, I feel the same way. Part of it is fantasy brain, but I'm way more focused on offense than defense.
Bullshit. Cars have gotten faster and also way safer and speed limits haven't changed in 50 years.
I rip down a straight mileish long service road on my way to work. I've gone about 110ish on it, and the speed limit is I think 40. Absolutely nothing is dangerous about this speed. It's a highly visible road, with only cars coming from a few businesses on the side. You could basically drive a dragster down this road without issues.
Speed limits are bullshit. They are set by politicians and not the engineers who designed the roads and understand the capabilities.
^^^^^
lol at this nonsense
+1
I'm like one of those journalists Needle was referring to, but slower. I might understand what cover 4/6/8 is in about 5 years. Maybe never.
Well I am with you too. In the words of Brett Farve "Who gives a sht" Just sling it.
I know one thing Spags F'd up good. Replays of that superbowl show everyone crowding the line to stop Barkley. Very good D got destroyed. Try again Spags.

regarding need for speed
what are the words that first come to mind when i ask about your earliest mother touch memories

The laws are made for people less awesome than you. It’s ridiculous that you should have to abide by rules made purely to control and hold back your needs and desires
Until speed limits are based off science rather than some politician's morality or whatever arbitrary reason, I won't get upset at these stories. Driving 100 MPH isn't inherently dangerous like some people automatically think.
That being said, Sanders probably was being an idiot based on what has transpired in the past year.
Uh, speed limits ARE largely based on crash data.
This literally just happened outside my neighborhood. Bunch of crashes coming down this hill, people complain to councilman, traffic study goes up, speed limit and stop sign appears, no one’s crashed through the outside fence of our housing tract in two years.
Yes speed traps and arbitrary limit changes exist and suck too. Going as fast as possible for no good reason is still stupid.

PHI not allowed to win their division. We don't allow back to back wins in the NFCE.

way too high on every Florida team and too low on the LA teams
I'm probably too high on JAX, but that's more of a function of not believing in HOU and the rest and the AFCS.
TB just has a better chance to win their division than LAR or LAC.
There's a reason I have LAR and LAC at 15/16 in that I do think they have a chance to get in, but I'm just not completely sold on either team and definitely don't think either one is going to win their division.
LAR is basically even with SF on division odds. I don’t believe in SF, Ari or Sea, so I’m pretty in on LAR winning the division if they stay healthy.
Definitely a way tougher path for LAC.

The reason I have SF and MIA so high is pretty much the same. I think each offense will be better than last season, and they both have really ****ing easy schedules. The only reason I'm not betting MIA to win the East is that BUF is the better team and they have the same easy schedule.
sure hope the afcw entertainment channel exceeds preseason expectation
one potential storyline:
do not give a care nor lol if a fat offensive #2 coordinator chip shots skidding bowls into the vegas death star or if the deserted epitome of lame bardy is part owner
gee, ya know, reason for visiting raider buffets this season include eating heaping portions of buck wild ashton jeanty combined with ample broccoli bowl stem roots served inverted with maxx cheese crossing along the edge
NFCE If Dart is any good, I really like the rest of Giants roster; talent all over, they could have a great year. Philly is still gross tho, they have everything, sickening.
