  1. While Jags/Titans may look like single worst primetime game ever, it might not turn out that way.

    A game between 2 equally awful teams can often be entertaining. I remember a few years back the Lions and Browns (both finished 2-14 that year iirc) played each other and it as one of the best games I've ever seen. Stafford threw the game-winning TD with a separated shoulder. It was awesome.

    Plus, the Jags on national TV means I'll finally get to see Denard Robinson play. =D

    Hate to burst your Jags bubble, but Denard was put on IR earlier today. Toby Gerhart tho!!!!

  2. Our receivers suck too much ass to match up to them, but I think our run game can soften them up. Our pass rush can get to Brady if their OL malfunctions, but if he gets more than 2 seconds he can carve us up.

    I honestly believe the Pats have an underrated run defense. The return of NT Sealver Siliga has been huge and allowed Big Boi Wilfork to move to 3-4 DE, where he can make plays. Chandler Jones came back today too, which is a huge gain.

    Run defense numbers during the past month or so:

    Week 9 vs Den: 17 att, 43 yards

    Week 11 @ Ind: 16 att, 19 yards

    Week 14 @ SD: 17 att, 53 yards

    Week 15 vs Mia: 23 att, 76 yards

    If the Ravens do end up meeting the Pats somewhere in the playoffs, I truly believe the game will come down to whichever defense makes the most plays. That being said I love the way the Patriots D matches up with the Ravens (if everyone can stay healthy)

  3. Not really. Think teddy, wasn't a phenomenal athlete, by NFL standards, but you'd still rather have him on the field then off. That's not to say didn't become significantly less useful in those last two or three years, but he was still pretty important. Same thing with mayo, aside from the obvious facts that Hightower still isn't great in coverage and Collins is only in his second year in the league, mayo is one of the parts that helps the defense when he's healthy.

    People said the same shit about spikes when he got here. He's gonna replace mayo, be the next big thing, just gotta fix the pass coverage then he's a pro-bowler. There's a reason Mayo is still here.

    Hightower has actually improved in coverage a good deal, as well as done a good job filling in as the signal-caller on defense. Jamie Collins has really turned up his game in the past 5 weeks or so, and appears to be making the "second year jump." Also, was Bruschi's cap hit ever in the range of $10+ mil like Mayo? I honestly would rather have that money allocated to a pass rusher or to keep Revis beyond this year

  4. Except if we're getting down to the nitty gritty, a 15% chance crit is completely feasible for the player to pull off regardless of the context. Taking control of the enemy side? There is no way you could say the same about that

    EDIT: I don't think using the mine glitch is "cheating" the game, but rigging a crit is much, MUCH different than suddenly gaining control of the enemy side and doing what you will with them

  5. It's all part of the game, though. Anyone can pull these things off.

    They're both manipulation unintended for normal gameplay. They are fundamentally the same: they allow you to, in a sense, "cheat" the game by abusing its mechanics to create a more desirable outcome.

    Besides, I could say this: "Controlling enemies for a turn or two out of more than 100 is not the same as rigging every enemy to miss and every player attack to critical when needed."

    Obviously there is a certain level of RNG manipulation that needs to be agreed upon here. Manipulating a boss miss or a crit against that boss is not as extreme as taking control of the entire enemy side, because you're still technically doing what is "allowed" by the game.

  6. Except manipulating enemy misses/player crits is part of the game, granted they certainly get a bit outlandish depending on the manipulation required (though there is no way they could compare to the rigging required for FE6 0% growths.) An enemy simply missing or a player critting is not the same as taking control of the entire enemy side and doing what you will with them

  7. Well, after almost 11 full years of life, my FE7 cartridge finally wiped itself blank. This will unfortunately mark the end of my days playing this game, mostly because Lyn mode can lick my grundle.

    I know Red Fox has mentioned she still has a working cartridge. Does anyone else out there still have one, or do people mainly use emulators now?
