Good article that really highlights why Pederson won the Super Bowl last year and why Koetter will likely be fired at the end of this season. http://www.tampabay.com/data/2018/0...derson-nick-foles-fourth-down-philly-special/

Ed rightfully gave up on the team immediately after ButtFumble
He's back because of Ournold. That's not bandwagon. That's smart.
(He came back in 2016 iirc but wouldn't do the chant until now)

Yeah every jets fan should be super excited now. I cant blame someone for giving up when things looked hopeless before.
NFL-Era XCOM2 - Mission 1 - Operation Gatecrasher
A quick intro for those not familiar with the series: XCOM is a turn-based, tactical combat series where you control an elite military organization to defend Earth from alien invaders. In the previous game (XCOM: Enemy Unknown or its expansion Enemy Within), you played as the Commander - a faceless, nameless avatar for the player that is basically the brains behind XCOM. You fight off the alien invasion...or so you think. When XCOM2 starts, it turns out the Commander has been captured by the aliens, and the aliens have taken over Earth. They've offered a taste of their vastly superior technology to the humans and this, combined with their utter domination of Earth's militaries, has allowed them to occupy the planet. The human population has largely been moved into new city centers that the aliens (and their human-facing front, ADVENT) have set up. XCOM is now a guerilla resistance faction, fighting against an opponent that outnumbers and outguns them, and is turning the very people XCOM is trying to free against them. Finally, XCOM is trying to get the Commander back to help them fight the war.
Now, for the opening mission. If you want to see the opening cinematics, watch this.
Full disclosure: I was kinda drunk while getting this going and still figuring out how to get this streaming thing working. So the first time I tried this, I was a bit reckless and everyone died horribly. I restarted with a more cautious mindset and things went well. However, I forgot to take screenshots as I went through the first mission because I was still messing with stream settings. Oops. I'll give you a brief overview of what happened, but future posts will be much more detailed/screenshot-laden.
Our opening mission's objective is to plant an explosive on an ADVENT monument, blow it up to send a message, and eliminate all hostile contacts in the area.
We started here:
Our target was just ahead of us, here:
Our plan was to take the roof of the building to the left of us, and then slowly push towards the monument.
We wanted to move forward slowly and in a controlled manner, so as not to draw too much attention. The enemies travel in packs/pods, and we want to handle those one at a time if at all possible. Long story short, we did. We moved around the back of the building, got up to the roof, eliminated the first pod at the foot of the building immediately, and then moved forward cautiously to eliminate the rest on the way to the monument.
Our four soldiers on this mission (randomly selected out of the character pool I put together) were:
Note that we're only really going to see the characters' first names if we go into their profiles, so I kinda just filled in something there just to have it populated. Most of the time we'll be seeing their nickname and their "last name". Also, their rank is Squaddie in this picture, which they got promoted to after the mission. They were Rookies beforehand.
Here's a closer look at each of them and what they got promoted to:
DMczaf
DM got promoted to Grenadier. He's going to be our heavy weapons guy, carrying both a large, rapid fire cannon you can see there (which can shred armor eventually) and a grenade launcher. He's basically going to destroy cover and shred armor to make targets softer for our other troops.
foppy79
Foppy got promoted to Sharpshooter. These are your snipers, but they can also be built as "Gunslingers", who specialize in the pistol they also carry.
Pepiope
Pep got promoted to Ranger. These are our close combat specialists, using shotguns and swords. They get in, kill shit, and then get out.
And finally, Bronx-Man
Bronx is a Specialist. These are our support troops. They act as medics and as hackers (hacking enemy terminals/mechs to give us advantages).
Finally, here's the rest of the initial character pool we start off with. We will definitely be adding a lot more as we go along, though. I have something like 49 characters in this pool.
This is already pretty long so I'll end it here by reposting this for if you want to get into the character pool/customize your character:
I promise I'll have more screenshots and give a much better rough play-by-play of the actual mission next time. I'll be out of town most of the weekend, so the next one will probably be Sunday night. I'd just restart it and get screenshots, but the opening mission went too well to throw it away :P
The olds can still go !!
Sanchez had one game in his entire career where he threw a higher completion % than Darnold did in his first game. And he didn't throw a TD in it either.
Nah we loved the idea that maybe one day he would get good because we used a top 5 pick on him.
He was never good. Our defense was good.
I should really goto jetlife stadium tomorrow. last time I went I had to take a shuttle bus to the stadium. They better have figured out the parking by now.

Coolest thing I've seen in a while.Mexico is celebrating Lucha Libre this month. And to celebrate they created masks for all 32 NFL Teams. The Pats mask seems to exude S&M and fake patriotism, which sounds accurate to me. Shout out to our wrassle friends here at NFL-Era DMczaf TheeFanatic Jmdajr RBH
Mixon is out for two weeks. I'm confident against Carolina and Atlanta they got decimated by injuries.
Defense looks godly of course

This is the most racist thing ever. How do I put you on mute like a cowardly idiot

Can't wait for your rivalry against the Bills when Brady retires.
*vs Colts, Bengals, and Texans.
Those teams combined for like half a win last year
Man I am def not taking tomorrow for granted or thinking it's going to be a easy win at all. Pats have no running game either and Jags def is really, really good. I still think Pats win, but it could be an ugly game and Brady's going to have to throw the ball like 50 times.
Josh Gordon hurt, out https://www.cleveland.com/browns/index.ssf/2018/09/browns_josh_gordon_ruled_out_o.html
WTF is that.....when you have too much money you lose common sense....

Interesting. The whole off-season thing with him was so weird, he probably fucked up more than once (after his 5th chance).
