Death From Above 3,722 Posted October 22 This is usually around where I give up the sports management game, after a decade+ of utter dominance where the CPU keeps letting me get away with it, because it's too unrealistic. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lawful Metal 1,177 Posted October 22 I like how the Texans are so all in this year that they just trading all the draft picks. It’s almost like we don’t have a GM and the coach is just winging it. oh wait. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hammerva 3,733 Posted October 22 Even if you know nothing about the Raiders, you will always remember him for three simple words; OLD MAN WILLIE . That interception will be still be awesome to watch in 2040. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dolfan in NYC 12,895 Posted October 22 Detroit is putting Kerryon Johnson on IR after he got knee surgery this morning. I *think* this means he's done for the year? Or he could return like the last week of the season? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They are in last place and probably out of the division race, but they've played fairly well and it seems like they would still have a decent shot at a wild card if they can get a few positive breaks.

If the #2 team in the NFC West gets one wildcard spot based on how the season is going now, I don't see an automatic lock for that other NFC wildcard spot. Anyone can make a run between now and the final couple weeks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That footage of the pick 6 with him running right at the camera is phenomenal. I can't tell you how much time I spent watching NFL Films as a kid/teenager. I have a DVD documentary about the start of NFL Films, and you'll realize that essentially all of modern sports presentation is everyone else playing catch up with NFL Films. With that said, their magnum opus is probably the Autumn Wind segment. It's pretty fitting that the last two shots are Willie Brown running towards the camera and Al Davis mouthing, "Just win, baby." This shit still gives me goosebumps, it's just my childhood football fandom wrapped up in about 55 seconds. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I used to rent NFL Films DVDs from the video store and then Netflix's DVD service. The music, the narration, the footage. It's the best. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He was a solid performer on the field but such a headache. Always chirping about his contract. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dogwelder 300 Posted October 25 Could the Vikings pick it up in the second half? I want to go to sleep at a normal time and not stay up late for a third night in a row with at least two more Friday and Saturday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
