I mean, it's not like Bortles has done anything but being really good at padding his stats after the Jags are down 21+ in the 4th.

The only thing I am excited for this season is hearing JEEEEEEEEEEEM or Romo say “Semen goes deep to Butt!”

Good.

Kilga, should we nail down a tentative draft time? Maybe the evening of 9/3?

Kilgamayan · « **Reply #64 on:** August 24, 2017, 01:02:32 AM »

Sure, I'll do that now.

Rin Kagamine · « **Reply #65 on:** August 24, 2017, 01:42:02 AM »

ugh, that's probably the worst time possible for me since I'm heading to Tokyo for a meeting that morning on the train. Gotta be out the door by 8:30pm your time, so unless we can end it for sure before then I'd prefer a different time

Kilgamayan · « **Reply #66 on:** August 24, 2017, 01:53:17 AM »

I just bumped it up an hour.

Edible · « **Reply #67 on:** August 24, 2017, 02:15:44 AM »

Fuck, I forgot Vic was on a train then. He literally told me in advance too ;_;

Edit: I also don't mind doing it, for instance, saturday night if that works better for all parties.

Hainiryuun · « **Reply #68 on:** August 24, 2017, 04:40:02 AM »

I can do whatever time if we do it on Sunday.

If we do it on Saturday as long as were done by 10pm EST Im good.

Rin Kagamine · « **Reply #69 on:** August 24, 2017, 05:59:49 AM »

New time works for me

PX · « **Reply #70 on:** August 24, 2017, 06:33:50 AM »

Works for me

Suwako Moriya · « **Reply #71 on:** August 24, 2017, 04:57:28 PM »

Who do we need to eject? I think Zirene is safe for removal unless he suddenly reappears. Anyone else?

Edible · « **Reply #72 on:** August 24, 2017, 05:40:20 PM »

Hakurei Hamsters and Paul's Perfect Team are out.

Edit: I haven't seen Xavier around lately either.

Hello Purvis · « **Reply #73 on:** August 24, 2017, 08:40:07 PM »

When's the draft? 9/3 evening? What kind of evening we talking here?

Edible · « **Reply #74 on:** August 24, 2017, 09:29:05 PM »

Yeah, sounds like 9/3 at 6pm.

Rin Kagamine · « **Reply #75 on:** August 25, 2017, 01:54:44 AM »

KagiyamaHina says he's in for another year

Daaamn, poor Edelman.

Kilgamayan · « **Reply #78 on:** August 26, 2017, 01:23:46 PM »

Yeesh. Here's hoping Cooks picks up the playbook okay and that we can at least get a playoff run out of Amendola.

Rin Kagamine · « **Reply #79 on:** August 28, 2017, 03:21:32 AM »

Bought my GamePass so I'm all in on football this year!

Edible · « **Reply #80 on:** August 28, 2017, 03:45:50 PM »

Do we have a full list of confirmeds? Week until the draft, figure it's best to iron it out now.

Braving the dangers of expired security certificates to post, is the draft finalized for Sept.3, 6 PM EST?

Quote from: WYTS17

Despite being top-10 all-time in literally every QB category and being a mortal lock for the Hall of Fame, it is impossible to win any argument about Eli because there?s no rebuttal for his dumb face.

Ahh catharsis.

Kilgamayan · « **Reply #82 on:** August 28, 2017, 11:40:29 PM »

It has legitimately never occurred to me before as even remotely possible, but today's Magary made me realize that not only does Eli deserve some HoF considerations, but he actually has a halfway-decent case. In my head, he's been 27 years old ever since he joined the league and is a turnover machine that constantly has a look on his face that matches the one Jay Cutler had from that one .gif where he accidentally got smacked in the face by a ref. But then I stopped and thought about it and remembered that he has two Super Bowl MVPs and a ton of longetivity.

Even after writing that, it still feels weird to think of him as "good", let alone potentially HoF-worthy.

The draft is as finalized as it's going to be barring multiple people meeting unexpected disaster; I certainly don't intend to reschedule it for shits and giggles.

Teams have been culled down to 8, which means that, unless we get back up to at least 10, two important changes will be made:

* The playoffs will be trimmed to four teams.
* Roster sizes will be expanded. I haven't decided exactly how much yet, but you can all count on the return of TWO QUARTERBACK SLOTS HELL YES EVERYONE CAN EAT MY ENTIRE ASS

Edible · « **Reply #83 on:** August 29, 2017, 03:21:05 AM »

The only way 8 teams is fun is with a 2 QB league. I'm on board.

Re: Eli, honestly he's been a HoF shoe-in since 2007. It's annoying because he's not great, but he's never missed a game and he's in a massive sports market and he had The Catch and he won two superbowls. But jackoffs like Joe Namath are in, and that's why Eli will get in.

Rin Kagamine · « **Reply #84 on:** August 29, 2017, 03:29:58 AM »

I'm fine with roster increases as long as they aren't to the point that I need to pick up Running Footballman or Heisman Trophy in week 13 because they're the only available WR

Hainiryuun · « **Reply #85 on:** August 29, 2017, 03:50:48 AM »

2 QBs seem fine for an 8 team league

Hainiryuun · « **Reply #86 on:** August 29, 2017, 04:52:11 AM »

Lions just gave Stafford a 5 year/135M contract, 92M of it guaranteed, making him the highest paid player in the NFL.

My only thought is LOLIONS

yuyukos · « **Reply #87 on:** August 29, 2017, 05:02:03 AM »

Well that's disgusting.

Rin Kagamine · « **Reply #88 on:** August 29, 2017, 06:52:26 AM »

Stafford is 5-43 against winning teams, only 1 of those wins is on the road.

Plus 0/3 in the playoffs. 0 division titles.

Stafford basically got paid because the Lions are idiots and Stafford is good at padding his stats in garbage time.
