    I use Mac and its better than Windows and other OS out there. Safer, more intuitive and I don't get the blue screen of death. Also I own the iPad because they make the best tablets compared to android. I have an Android phone because Androids are really best for smartphones and has more apps, and more customizable. I used to own Windows laptops and computers but got tired of spending money on them, fixing them, spending hours maintaining them, and eventually replacing them in short order. I own a Mac mini from 2013 and still going strong and still surprisingly as fast as the first day. 

    If you've owned an Android phone, there's no reason why you should claim an iPad is more superior than an Android tablet. Sure, performance wise and longevity, the iPad may outlast and outperform a Samsung tablet 5 years from now, but the iPad is just as restricted as the iPhone. You're only allowed to download apps from the App store. You can't really customize how your tablet looks and you're stuck with the bland vanilla iPad design. You're restricted with the amount of storage on your iPad as there is no microSD slot. The only difference between an Android tablet and an iPad is basically user preference. Both offer great features and both have their negatives. It comes down to what you're REALLY using the tablet for.

     

    As a side note, I have (and am currently using it as I type) a MacBook Pro 13 inch from early 2011 and it's still going strong to this day. Not as fast as it used to be initially but it's only a few seconds delay on loading up applications and the Finder window. It's a shame that when Steve Jobs passed away, the intuitiveness and creativity that was Apple also died with it and started a downward trend despite what the sales and profits show.

    Yeah I still feel that Brady feels most comfortable throwing short,quick passes and getting the ball out because that is what he has done the last 5 seasons.

     

    Doesn't mean they can't throw it deep with Gordon or even Hogan on a deep crosser.

     

    But for the deeper patterns Brady will have to hang in the pocket longer and potentially take a bigger hit to make a play...

     

    We all know how much it irritates Brady to get hit, especially because he is not mobile an is in his 40's now.

     

    Is he willing to hang in there or does he revert back to what is comfortable?

     

    When was Brady ever mobile? Besides, our o-line has been needing work for years. Great on the run but pass protection is hit or miss thus not allowing Brady to hang in the pocket longer to throw the long passes

    Your HC /playcaller thought this was a good idea. Do you not see the lunacy of the playcall!?

     

    I forgot, that wouldn't fit your narrative...

    I don't have a narrative? Loads of people hype up Rodgers but at some point, he should be the one calling the shots since he's on the field and has a much better vantage point than the HC/playcaller. If he's so elite, he should've called an audible and not just go with what the coach says. Then again, Roethlisberger called out his OC for a bonehead play as well....

    This is absurd. McCarthy smh. Legitimately hurts to see a qb as great Rodgers being wasted. 

    I didn't bother watching the game but I'm going to assume this was a rush inside the middle? If Rodgers is such a great QB, he should've called an audible for a toss on the outside or a play action and have the bottom receiver fake a block then run out flat for the first down. Can't always be McCarthy calling the shots. At some point, the QB has to take responsibility for reading the defence.

    Horrible luck for Alex Smith and the 'Skins....

     

    ....and 33 years to the day that Joe Theismann had his leg snapped by LT....

    Everything is just so ominous about it. Same leg injury. Both were injured from tackles by former DPOY. Both were injured on the 39 yard line (not the same position on the field but same yard line). Nearly the same age (Theismann 35 at the time, Smith 34).

     

     

    This injury is a career ender for Smith. Will likely never be the same even if he does attempt a comeback. Thiesmann had to retire a year later because his leg never grew back the same (actually ended up shorter than his other leg) and could no longer play at the speed/level he was at. 

     

     

    Unfortunate to have it happen on a guy like Smith who is a stand-up guy.

    They had 1 left, and yes.

     

    I mean I understand why McCarthy didn't throw it, given the TO situation. I think the whole situation is overblown tbh. I think the ball hit the ground, but on tape you don't see it hitting the ground. It would have been an interesting decision because it needs to be indisputable

    Anytime you think it could be questionable, you challenge it. The challenge can act like a timeout anyways. Get your team settled down and focused.

    Green Bay coaching staff again messed up.   On Seattle's  winning drive, the replay clearly show Lockett's catch touching the ground, thereby making it an incomplete pass.  Not choosing to challenge cost GB's loss tonight.    Furthermore, with about 4 minutes to go GB did not go for it on 4 and 2 near their own forty.  Everyone know Seattle is great in last few minutes of any game so the chances of getting the ball back was slim, especially with only 1 timeout left.   The difference between McCarthy and someone like NE's Belichick is obvious.  Belichick would have gone for it.

    Even if Belichick didn't go for it, he would've challenged the catch. That's a huge blunder on McCarthy and his staff up in the box for not challenging that catch

    You can't believe what was the best d in the NFL last yesr would suddenly implode and quit on the offence for not producing?

     

    How does New England even lose to the Titans? Or the Falcons Lise to the Browns? The NFL is weird.

     

    Time for SNF.

    Titans came to play and the Pats didn't. Offence couldn't put together drives and the D did everything they could to stay in the game. Looked like the team was more interested in the bye week coming up than actually winning and playing the game.

  9. Well the Jets suck... Luckily for me I'm more than likely to win my matchup this week.

     

     

    Also, what a poor game from the Pats today. Looked like they were not interested in the game and just wanted to head into the bye.

    Of course both Vance and James have tds. 

    God damn Vance. Put up 8.4 points.... Herndon better have a field day or I'm going to regret not going for Vance. My opponent has JuJu and AB and he's already up 28pts because of their performances tonight.

    Vance. I'd take a look at Chris Herndon of the Jets. Might be a decent play against the Bills. 

    I think I'll take a gamble on Herndon. He's been playing solid the past few weeks and I don't want to take a chance on a team that's playing on a headline night. Hope Vance doesn't burn my decision tomorrow.

    Its because of the cost they shipped all of the $80 dollar coppies not the $60 copies.its available on amazon.ca now.

     

    Think im gonna wait till christmas to buy this game for $60

    No I understand that. It's just shady business practice and loads of people have already submitted complaints to the Competition Bureau who are investigating at the moment. Although seems like now that they have "stock" so are slowly but surely shipping them out one by one

    He is the best YAC WR in the league. Built like a RB incredibly hard to tackle in space. Big time get since Nelson Agholor has not been as good as last year, when he broke out. Glad they kept him way from the Patriots(rumored to be interested). He would have fit in quickly with that offence. In New England the WRs and RBs are interchangeable. They could have gotten Ty Montgomery if they really wanted though too.

     

    Have a feeling teams weren't willing to bite on what Belichick was offering. Rumour was Belichick wanted Denver to eat some of DT's cap which obviously they weren't willing to do. I also don't think Belichick felt like Tate was worth the 3rd (of course, worst comes to worst they get it back via compensatory but its still a hefty price to pay)

    I hope someone makes a gif of that Bills fan facepalming after that pick six.  Priceless reaction.

    When they showed the replay from the field/QB's perspective, you could see the pick coming...
