  1. I'm not a fan of the 4th & 15. Seems too gimmicky & unfair to a team that has worked for the entire game to get a two score )or more) lead. 

     

    I'll throw out this solution (I probably should have worded that better) :)

    Stop the clock after each play when under a minute left in the game.

    Prevents the kneel down/victory formation.

    Forces the team with the lead & possession to continue to play the game the way it's played for the previous 59 minutes, or in other words, keep trying for first downs. 

    With 1 minute left, stopping the clock after each play would be 10 plays (average). It won't be much different if the trailing team has the ball, but it will be if the leading team has the ball. It would force them to get a couple of first downs or punt the ball. 

     

     

     

     

  2. This season I want an entertaining, fun team to watch, that is prepared for each week and looks well coached. I don’t think that’s too much for a fan to expect. Eventually, the wins will come.

    What NCIS you watching?

     

     

    That's what I have been tuning into. 

     

     

    Watched a bunch of New Orleans, not to much, but what I noticed this morning was it just populates the episodes per season, which makes it easier to go through and find episodes? Had a bunch more populate overnight that wasn't in there initially after I hit the record.

    The original NCIS.

    Watched New Orleans for a few seasons, then it got stupid, which happens often after the star starts producing.
    Hawaii is okay (for now), don’t like LA. 
     

    We give all the crime drama shows a look. Some stick, most don’t.

    Favorite right now is FBI International.

    Idk? I actually like that, tbh.

     

    The DVR is unlimited, to my understanding, so space isn't an issue.

     

    I will just say, for instance last night, I was watching a show that I have seen a lot of episodes but had a run on ones I hadn't seen yet. I didn't want to stop watching so I just carried on. Then around midnight I went and figured out the DVR, so I could go to bed and catch up later.

     

    Worked good for me.

     

    It is tough getting used to the setup though, I've been on Hulu($70) for a while now. I liked or was at least used to the site. Just gonna take some getting used to.

     

    Something else I need to figure out is how to get it on all my other devices(wife +kids)? I never made a password, can they just sign in, as long it's on the same wi-fi?

    I just don’t need a bunch of NCIS reruns recording on ION when all I want is the current season. I’m sure once I get used to navigating recordings it won’t be a big deal. Only had it for a week, so like anything else it will take some getting used to.

    Same here, still trying to figure out youtube TV myself.

     

     

    Had immediate buyer remorse, thinking I should've just got Sunday Ticket stand alone package.

     

    It will be alright I'm sure, once I figure it all out.

    As a newbie to YouTube tv (from direct tv), the big negative for me is the DVR. Not being able to delete watched shows, and having all shows record instead of ”first run” only, is quite annoying. 

  6. Two of us at a sports bar for 3+ hours, have a couple drinks, food, tax and tip and we’re looking at a minimum of $70. Do that for 4 games and it’s the cost of Sunday ticket ($249). 
    At home I’m not surrounded by obnoxious fans of other teams (cough..steelers, cough, cough..patriots). Plus at home the game is on a big screen, while at the bar it is always on the smallest screen and in the corner.

    Brady was 89-0 when leading by 17 or more, Sums up the weekend.

     

    The Patriots losing the way they lost made my whole week after the way their fans mocked us for blowing a 33 point lead The Simpsons GIF by KiwiGo (KGO)

    It's the one positive about being out of the playoff race. I can sit back and just enjoy the craziness that is the NFL.

  8. Recapping the weekend from a positive perspective:

     

    We had a team complete the greatest comeback in history (Vikings)

     

    We had the "immaculate reception" part two. (Raiders)

     

    We had a team drive to the game winning FG in a matter of seconds. (Chargers)

     

    We had a team make a miraculous late game play to win, and now have won 6 of last 7 games. (Lions)

     

    We had a team force 4 turnovers in one quarter. (Bengals)

     

    We had a team trailing 17-0, score 34 straight points. (Bengals).

     

    Recapping the weekend from a negative perspective:

     

     We had a team blow a 33-0 lead in the 2nd half. (Colts)

     

    We had a team with the most detail oriented, highest football IQ coach, make one of the dumbest plays in NFL history. (Patriots)

     

    We had a team in easy FG range to win the game, see their coach get cute and try to use up a few more seconds by running an additional play (with no timeouts, so it was going to be simply a pass out of bounds), get called for delay of game and back up the FG 5 yards. Then he double downed by running another "throw away" play, risking a holding penalty or other mishap. Didn't come back to bite them, but it easily could have. (Chargers)

     

    We had a team running a last minute drive not using all of their timeouts. Sound familiar? (Jets)

     

    We had a team QB'ed by the GOAT commit 4 turnovers in the 4th quarter. (Bucs)

     

    We had a team leading 17-0 give up 34 straight points. (Bucs)
