I feel like wildcard weekend is usually good and it's the divisional round that's usually the dud?

Man uh. I really liked it when I first played it but as many have said it does not hold up to any sort of scrutiny at all. Let's go with...

5/10

Oh no I should have hedged my bets!

Mayock out as Raiders GM. Maybe he can go back to draft coverage now. I always preferred him to everyone else.

Ryan Lindley also started a playoff game.

anyway I am kind of hoping arizona wins, I dont want to play the rams again <_<

I got a couple parlays riding on Arizona winning (and Chiefs still) so I'm all for that! Might cash out one of those if KC wins tonight though as insurance.

I hope we're all watching on Nick!

A rollercoaster of emotions! But that should do it lol

Bad news! It's actually 34.5 I need.

Might happen by accident!

This is why I took over 32.5 rush yards for Hurts! I already got the Gronk and Evans TDs which I thought were the harder of the three. Ah well it was a free bet so if it doesn't hit it's not a big deal.

I just want 5 more Jalen Hurts rushing yards....

Yeah my first playthrough of Azure Moon I didn't recruit anyone (except Lysithea and Lorenz for reasons) and killed everyone else...it was definitely rather gut-wrenching.

Hilda can't be recruited on the Crimson Flower route anyway. She can be recruited on Azure Moon but the other two lords have characters that are exclusive to their routes. It's pretty obvious who they are but spoilers just in case

Hubert is only available in Crimson Flower and Dedue is only available in Azure Moon as they are the retainers foe Edelgard and Dimitri respectively and won't abandon them.

Ohh I would have had a chance if Xuxon didn't switch and I went perfect on my picks. Which would have been epic with me picking the tie lol

Congrats to everyone who made it and thanks for running this, Emerald!

I liked the original a lot more. Something about this one didn't hit as well for me both from a story and a gameplay perspective.

Pick 'em glory was so close.

My buddies and I are in Vegas right now placed a bet for a tie at +5000 this morning before the Jags/Steelers madness. We're a little salty right now lol

Raiders are the fucking worst.

Level 8:
Chiefs -3.5
Washington -0.5
Rams +1.5
Patriots -0.5
Cardinals -0.5

7.5/10

Oh Raiders still get in with a loss if the Ravens win. I want CHAOS!!

Change to Steelers

I'm also at the bottom of the standings so who cares lol

Kansas City Chiefs
Dallas Cowboys
Cleveland Browns
Detroit Lions
Chicago Bears
Washington Football Team
Jacksonville Jaguars
Baltimore Ravens
Tennessee Titans
New Orleans Saints
Buffalo Bills
San Francisco 49ers
Miami Dolphins
Arizona Cardinals
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Los Angeles Chargers @ Las Vegas Raiders - TIE

I would honestly love to see that happen. It would be the greatest thing ever.

Lmao the refs really want to get out of there by not calling the longest delay of game I've seen. Not that I blame them but it was hilarious all the same.

6.5/10

What's there is really good but yeah it's just...unfinished which is a real shame.

First drive and already feeling like I'm fucked.

I had to watch last week's SNF cause my opponent had Miami's defense and needed to see how bad it got for me. This week I have to watch again cause my opponent has Adams and I've got about a 29 point lead so it could still go either way...

Playing the Chiefs defense over the Bears hurts for sure but the Chiefs helped get me to the championship game so had to trust them. What's really killing though is Tua being shit and not throwing to Waddle. =/

Golden Sun: Dark Dawn

Can't even say FE: Fates for this one since I stopped at the finish line.

this is the #3 rushing defense?

guess the bucs just never faced an elite run team like the jets before

Man if I didn't have a couple better options I'd be keeping Carter in my keeper league lol

Bears up 18 seconds into the game.

I may have picked the wrong fantasy defense to play!

8/10

I'm pretty forgiving in terms of story for Fire Emblem games. They're never the best but I find that they're generally executed well. Though this is kind of the opposite with some things not executed well but the overall story and world are just too interesting to me. Probably my favorite FE setting.

FZero

Level 7:

QB: Rodgers
RB: Taylor
WR: A. St. Brown

Bonus (that doesn't matter for me anymore): Chiefs/Bengals

Yeah it's recommended you wait to recruit Ingrid till later on routes other than Blue Lions because she gets the insane enemy Pegasus knight stats at that point.

Hm. Honestly not sure. Under this criteria I would probably say something from when I was much younger. Stuff I've bought lately are either stuff I've heard good things about through word of mouth or from series that I'm familiar with.

If I'm discounting games that I heard good things about and thought I might like then maybe...Raging Loop? Though for something that isn't a VN...Until Dawn I think fits. While I had heard some good things about it horror isn't a genre I like much so I took a chance on it and was surprised I liked it as much as I did!

Ryuji is my most hated character PERIOD. Seriously, fuck that guy. The amount of times he accidentally sabotages the party or makes Joker and other people look dumb in front of other people cause he won't fucking shut up is just....GAH! I just want to replace him with literally any other character. Even Hope from FFXIII isn't near this bad.

Which is sad, because in his Social Link, he's actually halfway decent. It's just amazing how fucking stupid and a fucking homewrecker he is. I know you "need" characters like that and they are meant to be unlikeable, but holy fucking shit.

A fellow Ryuji hater, excellent! All of this is spot on. The amount of times he fucks up is just...ugh.

Hm.

7/10

Think it has the weakest story out of 3/4/5 but it's still pretty good. Maybe having to wait almost 10 years after 4 set unrealistic expectations for me but ehh. But yeah I would just be echoing others thoughts now.

Though side note: I think Ryuji is the worst cast member by far out of the 3 main Persona games. Yes, worse than your typical most hated characters like Ken, Yukari, and Teddie. Fucking Ryuji.

Given how much shorter Black Eagles route is compared to the other routes that's the one that feels like half a story to me personally.

Did Blue Lions first and it's my favorite route. Dimitri is awesome though really all the Lords in Three Houses are great and have some really good character development throughout.

Buffalo Bills
Chicago Bears
Cincinnati Bengals
Miami Dolphins
Indianapolis Colts
New England Patriots
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Philadelphia Eagles
Los Angeles Rams
Denver Broncos
San Francisco 49ers
Arizona Cardinals
New Orleans Saints
Seattle Seahawks
Minnesota Vikings
Cleveland Browns

I liked it well enough. Bit of a letdown from the previous episodes but I'm excited to see where it goes! Makes me want to read the books despite hearing how much of a slog some of the middle books in the series are. Sad that they had to recast Mat as I think he was the best of the younger characters.

Sam Ehlinger is the guy whose younger brother died shortly after he got drafted.

Easy Colts win.

Ian Book and the Saints were worse than I thought and I thought it was already going to be ugly. Good thing I had Waddle to counter the Miami defense.

9/10

The writing can be questionable at times but I think the actual story is really good and intriguing.

One thing I couldn't afford was a Miami defensive touchdown and they've already got one. My fantasy matchup is now uncomfortably close...

Two 40+ yard TDs for my fantasy team stopped just short...and they couldn't even give me the Taylor or Murray TDs after those runs...

Level 7:

Go Go my fantasy team now that it's the semis!

QB:Murray
RB: Taylor
WR: Waddle

Bonus: 22-27

Tennessee Titans
Green Bay Packers
Indianapolis Colts
Detroit Lions
Cincinnati Bengals
Los Angeles Rams
Buffalo Bills
New York Jets
Philadelphia Eagles
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Los Angeles Chargers
Chicago Bears
Kansas City Chiefs
Denver Broncos
Dallas Cowboys
Miami Dolphins

Should have trusted my boy Taylor to keep his streak going but I was on bye in fantasy playoffs. =/

Sean Payton has covid and will miss SNF. Think they'll make a movie of his time having covid like did for when he was suspended?
