The shared doors with passwords should definitely help, that way a group can just share a nice sized compound. I wish there was more imperialism, where people would destroy enemy doors and take the damn house over and secure that point. Sadly we need more people for anything cool like that to happen.

NFL Pro Bowl Week: Neon Deion vs. The Fumbling Fraud
- Thread starter eznark
- Start date
There are a couple caveats between Edelman and Welker this year.
The stats between the two:
Edelman: 16 GP, 105 REC, 1056 yards, 6 TDs, 151 Tgts
Welker: 13 GP, 73 REC, 778 yards, 10 TDs, 110 Tgts
First,Welker played 13 games, while Edelman played 16. That's 3 games of production that Welker missed out on. So the numbers would align even more so.
Second, Welker was not the primary target in the offense as Edelman was. So that is additional production that fluffed Edelman's stats over Welkers.
I agree with you that the numbers would align more closely if the circumstances were right. I thought Welker's production would take a hit when he came to this offense, and I think some thought I was crazy to say that he would have less than 100 receptions.
As far as a superstar, I don't think he is, but he's a damn good slot WR. Personally, I think he was worth the money as he opens up the offense in the sense that he gives another short yardage option. That's invaluable in my eyes as it eases up the pressure on the run, and by default opens up the passing game to some degree. You don't really base your offense around him of course, but he's a luxury that makes the offense that much harder to defend. Edelman would be the same way if they had legitimate threats in the form of other receivers. Basically a luxury item.
If I was the Pats, I would pay for a legitimate #1 WR before even thinking about paying for Edelman. Even with Gronk back.

Compare her to a celebrity so we have an idea what we're dealing with here.
The most fun I've had was when we broke into some dudes tower and there were a few people in it. We killed them a few times but one was able to spawn and build a wall and lock Sanjuro in! It was so rad. We then had to spend like an hour crafting C4 and building a siege machine to get him out.
Maybe Ferny was right and the prevalence of C4 has ruined the game.
They're not generic sci-fi military bullshit (Halo) or balls-out, roid-fest military bullshit (Gears).
I like a wide range of gaming experiences. Sony offers that better than MS in my eyes.
Sorry I hurt your feelings, bro.
Putting my money on Sixth Sense era Haley Joel Osment or Home Alone 2 era Macaulay Culkin.
Edelman is the best punt returner in the league too, don't forget that. I honestly think he's a better overall player than Welker right now, and it would be a huge mistake to not sign him because we also need a #1.
Hahahahaha haha haha. Good one.
That's hilarious. I still haven't experienced a real raid like that. There was a video posted in the first few pages of the Rust thread of a rescue mission just like that one.
The game was very very different before C4 was craftable, more loot runs and such. I think adding more air drops would do a lot for the game as well, those are always a lot of fun when multiple groups are fighting over one.
I have no clue what the game is about, but it sounds fun.
thanks for stopping by tabris, see you on sunday

If I were the Patriots, I wouldn't pay for Edelman either. I mean, you let a guy walk and his replacement doesn't miss a beat? Why can't any schmoe do what he does? Pats have an endless knack for finding "scrappy, high football IQ" guys, why bother paying top dollar for them?
Yeah that was us, Ferny posted it I think.
And that's true. We had an awesome shootout at the air drops on Sunday. It was before we got our stuff back so Brentech was running around without gear but since I am wily, I survived with all of my stuff intact. So Brentech, wearing no clothes and carrying a rock, beat me to the air drop. Some asshole in full Kevlar and a shotgun opens up on him. I come up over the hill with my silenced, holo-scoped M4 and just mow that fucker down, saving Brent's life.
Then some clown with no gear came over the hill and I shot him too just for the fuck of it.

Cleveland sure seems all in on a mobile QB
But you have to wonder, if Banner and Lombardi like mobile QBs, why did they hire Chud and Norv, who wanted to run Air Coryell from the pocket?

Do you always have this much trouble talking to people? No ones feelings are hurt at all. You are the guy that thought Weeden would be good for gods sake. I was just surprised to see you say you dont like shooty games and then list a game like Uncharted which is nothing but dudebro shooty stuff. Uncharted and Last of Us are both great franchises/games btw. It is very strange to me that you keep trying to twist this into me being upset about your preferences or something. Your first post wasnt clear so I replied to it but now I understand perfectly. Clearly you made the right choice for you, no one is trying to say anything different.
Oh right, now I remember sanjuro being in that video.
*sigh* This is the stuff I've been missing out on. My friends are getting the game soon so that will be cool, but I've been pretty disappointed with the gaf group. Littleworm is the only guy who is always looking for something fun to do. The rest either left for another server or are just playing DayZ.

They signed TJ Moe last year, who I believe is still on the practice squad who is another high motor, gritty white receiver. Don't know what he can do though.
What works in Edelman his advantage is that he can play more on the outside than Welker could so he's less limited in his role in the O, plus he adds value with his punt return skills.
Plus Tom loves him. Not that all that really matters, Bill would trade Gisele to the Browns if he believed it was best for the team.
I would like to see Edelman back, but I don't think they will pay him what he wants to be paid. Don't see him care enough about the team to take a team-friendly deal or anything.

I think the challenge to the Pats keeping Edelman is Amendola. He's a 5 million cap hit if cut. Don't see the Pats swallowing that.
It is sad but I think I forgot how to ask a girl out. I am fucked if my wife dies or I get divorced. Even with me not knowing exactly what to do somehow this doesn't seem like a great idea.
Study group first to get to know her and make sure all the dudes in the group are uglier than Gata.

Gata still thinks girls have cooties.
I just wish they weren't so damn obvious about drafting Manziel. At this point, I wouldn't be shocked if they get conned into trading up for him.
If you stay at 4, you're either getting Manziel, Clowney, Barr, or Bridgewater. Any of those guys would be acceptable IMO.

I'm taking a creative writing class this semester for some filler credits, and this lunkhead sitting next to me said that Peter King is his favorite writer.
No words.
No words.
I'd like to see Edelman back as well, but I don't want the Patriots to overpay for him just because he's Tom's security blanket. If he's healthy, Amendola can do what Edelman did and as you said, TJ Moe will be available as well, not to mention that Josh Boyce could probably play in the slot as well. They have more pressing needs that have to be addressed in free agency with their limited cap space, Edelman may be a luxury they can't afford.

Should the divorce ever happen make sure you tell the girls that she left you at the very least you'll get some sympathy sex out of it.

forget that. Just go straight to the B.E.N. system.
Edelman won't have a ton of suitors. Just pay him roughly Dola money and on to the next. The free agent WR pool is trash or want too much money anyway. If anything they need to sign a big target just for redzone purposes even if that's all he's good at. They don't really have a problem moving the ball between the 20's. It's the lack of guys that can win one one one in the redzone on jump balls etc..except for Gronk who can't stay on the field. It's a broken record but everything revloves around him. Him and Megatron are the best pass catching threats in the game. An offense cannot function the same losing players of that caliber.
Edelman is not a luxury. At all. He was the ONLY consistent option all year and you guys want to let him walk because we have Amendola and TJ MOE? Fuckin hell.
invite her to the local rec to play a friendly game of Horse
when she attempts her first shot, swat that shit back in her face and walk out
she'll call you by the end of the night
I'm not sure if the world can hang

I need to watch this show of hers. All I've seen of it are screencaps. Maybe that's enough to go off of.
Not everybody can rewrite the same basic script into 2 movies, a tv show, and a book.

Amendola will be with the team no matter what next year. Don't see them pull the plug on him this fast. I'm mentally preparing myself for seeing Edelman with the Niners next year.
You have money, you'll be fine.
Yeah, losing Edelman seems like a real possibility. Talib has the highest priority I think, McCourty needs a new deal too and there is no way Bill let's him walk an there are ao many other names that are hitting free agency that Edelman might be like you said a luxury.
McCluster, Tate, and Brown are all better yards wise, but he's damn good no doubt. Welker rarely returns punts in Denver, so I don't think you can hold that against him when comparing the two.
As WRs, I think they are fairly close. The one thing Edelman has going for him is youth, so to say he's a better player right now could very well be true. When Wes was 27, he was putting up more impressive numbers though. Either way they are close right now, with Edelman in his prime and Wes exiting it.
They've already paid the guy they thought was the future at that spot. So if they resign Edelman there is some duplication of roles with Amendola. Better to keep Amendola, and dedicate Edelman money elsewhere imo.
Edelman might be better, but Amendola can replicate that production, I think, and you'd have a bit of cash to push towards a decent WR. Even though there won't be much out there in terms of FA. There's Kenny Britt and Maclin and that's about it. So they're in a weird spot, where they might have to draft or feed off of someone else's scraps if they don't resign him.
Off to work, have a good day guys!

False. It's a very brave thing and sign of a true Alpha with some Heart and character. You don't have the heart Gata, you don't have the heart.
I tried that in middle school and it didn't work. I guess I should kept trying the system it was obviously the girls fault that it didn't work.
Thanks for the advice guys but I am not that into unconscious fat chicks. I might change my mind if I get hit by a car or I am alone for several miserable years, but if I ever get back into the game I am just going to be a sugardaddy to some really stupid hot young girls.

I was the friend zoned guy. Spent too much time being nice. That would be very different if I were ever single again. Not that I plan to be. Nearly 16 years into a marriage and two kids later, I don't ever see myself putting the effort in to get here again.

There's gonna be a ton of guys in Free Agency. Nicks, Sanders, Baldwin, tons of possession guys. Pats will have their pick of the litter. Personally I think Sanders is a Patriot at the end of FA; good, but not amazing, can play flanker or slot, won't command a high salary. Perfect for the Patsies.
