Official NFL Season 2005 Thread


Recommended Posts

Can't edit.

So I guess defense is optional for tonight's game. How Eli escaped that rush is beyond me. Neither team has looked like they've been able to stop the other. The Giants have stopped themselves a few times if anything and San Diego has been unstoppable so far. Looks like Eli's gonna have a good game in defeat :no:

edit> Just saw on Sportscenter: Brady had 17 career 4th quarter and OT winning drives (including the playoffs). Make that 18. Just plain. . . CLUTCH! He threw 12-12 in the 4th quarter.

Would it be possible for the neowin Mods To post an offical Poll with all the NFL Teams To see which team here on Neowin Has the most fans? That would be Fantastic. btw My fav team is The Raiders!

Pennington is done for the season, apparently. While I wouldn't really wish an injury like that on any player I can't help but smile a bit only becuase of how much it screws the Jets. Brooks Bollinger (no that was NOT a mistake) will most likely start agianst Baltimore. The guy has nine, yes NINE career pass attempts. If the Ravens' D doesn't absolutely dominate then we know something's up.

Story here.

Brooks Bollinger's career NFL stats :laugh: :rofl:

If they are admiting that then what can be done? :o

This practially shows that the steelers had the game and a error took it away from them. 52 seconds are a lot.

That they had the game? That's highly debatable. They only tied it on that drive in the fourht it's not like less time would have given them an opportunity to win. AND the got a free set of downs, IMO, on that veeeeeeeery iffy pass intereference call when Quincy Morgan flat out DROPPED the ball on fourht down when he was wide open. We COULD have been in store for a heck of an overtime game though. Still though, can't assume all things would have remained as is with :52 seconds less.

What took that game away from the Steelers were two things: Randle El pulling a real bonehead play when they could've virtually buried the Pats and the Steelers o-line collapsing in the fourth and not giving Big Ben decent protection. O and Brady playing out of his mind in the fourht as well.

On another note, I don't think those two guys will be doing any clock work for the Steelers at home again for the rest of the season if not their lives lol.

Well agreed. I overreacted at first because I love the steelers. But still they indeed changed the fate of that game with those 52 seconds.

Ack, McNabb has abdominal strain (NFL.com) that may need surgery, but he will hold off till the end of the season. Oh man you know what this could means, Koy Detmer, KOY DETMER! NoooooooOOOO! I blame this on Sports Illustrated and Madden Football.

I blame this on McNabb and his coach. He has been injured since the first season game and he still kept playing instead of taking a break.

McNabb will continue playing until he can't throw or walk anymore until. Just like Akers.

and believe me. I admire that, but one need to know when enough is enough dont you think?

Bah, too late to just edit and add this to my last post.

Anyway, looks like Joe Horn decided to rip the NFL for the "home" opener over a week later. I don't know, maybe I'm biased because I'm a Giants fan but anyone else think at this point the Saints players should just keep their mouths shut about the inconvenience and play? I mean I understood last wekk guys saying stuff but now it's not only over a week later but you've had another game since then and you're still focusing on that? Personally, I think they'd come off better if they took it all in stride and just played. They would look better. Horn had been saying all the right things but to say this today I think was just dumb. Last week? Maybe you could have gotten away with it. I don't think the NFL tried to screw the Saints. Anyway like I said just my take on the issue and if I seem biased becuase of my team loyalties feel free to let me know :p .

Read the story here.

well you do kinda seem biased but everyone is a little loyal to their team so its ok.

well he makes a good point but i think he is still mad about the whole thing with NO. everyone saw the thing about him and the people from NO on MNF, he is just abset with this year.but he should let it go.

and believe me. I admire that, but one need to know when enough is enough dont you think?

I don't think the we will realize the implications until we see Detmer as the starting QB.

Man that seriously was the Eagles worst and best game at the same time today. I seriously can't believe what happened.

I think people need to stop hating on Eli Manning on this board and start giving the guy his due. That game against San Diego was definitely his breakout game and this week he looked great. I think he's for real and he will, over the course of his career, justify what the Giants gave up to get him :yes:

Haha! Arizona just scored their SECOND offensive TD in 4 games lmao :rofl: :laugh:

You mean the "touched by jesus" guy?

I love how the hype is still nig on this guy when Roethilisberger is clearly better, more accurate and more calm. But of course, people go wild for statistics. But in the end they doesnt matter if you dont guide your team to the big games.

Look at Brady, for example, not the best QB in the league but the has done the necessary.

Now look at marino, best QB ever? but wait! where is the ring?

Did I say that? Um no. I didn't even say he already has justified what they gave up for him I said I'm confident he will over the course of his career. I said give him the credit he deserves. He's NOT a bust, he's NOT overrated. People wanted to write him off last year after he played on a BAD team that gave up it's second half of the season. This year he's 3-1 and has not had a BAD game yet. And actually his stats, except for the last two games haven't been spectacular but he's won games. People were saying he's spoiled or a primodonna (and I bet you were one of them) because he didn't want to play for SD. Well, look what happened to Rivers. The same would have happened to Manning. SD does NOT deal with its draft picks or players well at all. Look how they dealt with Antonio Gates.

O, and Big Ben CHOKED in the big games last year. He was terrible in the playoffs. Or did you forget that? They wouldn't have even beaten the JETS if Doug Brien could kick the damn ball. So let's not anoint him as the messiah either. Has Manning proved anything yet in a big game? Not really, but wait until he gets to play in one and chokes as terribly as Ben did before you railroad him. He's a quality qb and he's steadily improved with each start he's had. Even last year he showed progress when losing. And what more can you ask of a guy in his second year. Big Ben's success is largely due to the system he fell into. And good for him he can't help that. Five years from now I'd like to have this debate again ;)

    • A roguelike and a 4X strategy game are free to claim on the Epic Games Store by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The final leg of the Epic Games Store's mystery giveaways promotion just landed, and it brought along two more games to keep. Last week's Lonestar and Calico giveaways have now been replaced with copies of Rogue Waters and Songs of Conquest to claim for PC gamers. As always, the game is yours to add permanently to your Epic Games Store library within the next seven days. Diving into the games, Songs of Conquest is developed by Lavapotion. This is a turn-based 4X strategy experience that has players making tough decisions and participating in tactical combat while also managing their kingdom. "Songs of Conquest is a turn-based strategy game inspired by 90s classics. Lead powerful magicians called Wielders and venture to lands unknown," explains the developer. "Wage battles against armies that dare oppose you, hunt for powerful artifacts and expand your territory. The world is ripe for the taking – seize it." Meanwhile, Rogue Waters comes from developer Ice Code Games. This rogue-lite experience has you taking the role of Captain Cutter as he commands his ship and crew through procedurally generated encounters. You'll be recruiting and training crew, use sea creatures, and battle with other ships and pirates. "Set sail as Captain Cutter, a pirate caught in a deadly struggle for power and vengeance," adds the developer. "Navigate dangerous waters, unleash mythical sea creatures, and outwit enemies as you chase legendary treasure and confront dark secrets." The newly available Rogue Waters and Songs of Conquest giveaways on the Epic Games Store are set to run until June 11, giving PC gamers seven days to claim the latest offer. Once this closes out, a new freebie will take its place on the same day, which is slated to be Warhammer 40K Speed Freeks. Don't forget that mobile gamers can check out the Epic Game Store's weekly giveaways on Android and iOS to grab a freebie there as well.
    • Still using Classic Outlook? Microsoft highlights 15 reasons to switch to New Outlook by Usama Jawad As many of you may know, Microsoft has been trying to get customers to ditch Classic Outlook in favor of New Outlook for quite some time now. To that end, it has added numerous capabilities to the latter, including PST features, and it is working on several more, such as a unified inbox. However, customer response has been a bit lukewarm so far, with many considering the New Outlook to be "hot garbage". Now, Microsoft has highlighted 15 features that users can leverage in New Outlook in yet another attempt to get customers to migrate. Although not all of the 15 capabilities are exclusive to New Outlook, in fact, most of them are available in Classic Outlook as well. But Microsoft hopes that this combination of familiar and fresh features will be able to attract existing users as well as new ones. For ease of readability, we have summarized the 15 features below: Pin an email: This makes it easier to track important emails Snooze an email: You can temporarily snooze an email thread for a specific time frame until it becomes relevant again. This can be very useful in scenarios where you don't feel like actively following a thread or simply want to follow up on a later date Add multiple categories at the same time: You can assign multiple categories to an email through a single, simplified interface Sweep: As the name implies, you can define automated move processes on your inbox to declutter it, rather than cleaning it up manually Schedule send: Does exactly what it says on the tin, and can be useful when accommodating recipients in different timezones Simplified folder sharing: The sharing process has been simplified so permissions are automatically applied on parent folders Follow a meeting: This is an RSVP option that lets people know that you won't be able to join the meeting but would still like to access a recap Save calendar views: You can save different views for the calendar based on different workflows Improved meeting tracking: Organizers have more controls in viewing meeting responses, such as the ability to sort and download them. Typically useful when there is a large audience Meeting recap: The Outlook Calendar surfaces a meeting recap with recordings, transcripts, and shared files Filtered views: Allows you to declutter your Calendar so that it's easier to scan and schedule Change a recurring event: Users can modify future events of a series of meetings while preserving the configuration of previous ones Rename your email account: This labeling makes it easier to identify multiple accounts in Outlook Modern themes: Exactly what the name says, plus Dark Mode Keyboard shortcuts: This facilitates flexible user behavior as customers can choose between Outlook for Windows shortcuts, Outlook for the web, or turn them off completely There you have it. It's a decent list, but it remains to be seen if it will move the needle in a meaningful way for users who are attached to Classic Outlook. Again, a lot of the aforementioned features are already available in Outlook Classic, but for some, native functionality is not present, and people typically resort to workarounds. Microsoft will be hoping that it's primarily those capabilities that get people to finally switch.

    • LibreWolf 151.0.3-1 by Razvan Serea LibreWolf is an independent “fork” of Firefox, with the primary goals of privacy security and user freedom. It is the community run successor to LibreFox. LibreWolf is designed to increase protection against tracking and fingerprinting techniques, while also including a few security improvements. This is achieved through our privacy and security oriented settings and patches. LibreWolf also aims to remove all the telemetry, data collection and annoyances, as well as disabling anti-freedom features like DRM. LibreWolf features: Latest Firefox — LibreWolf is compiled directly from the latest build of Firefox Stable. You will have the the latest features, and security updates. Independent Build — LibreWolf uses a build independent of Firefox and has its own settings, profile folder and installation path. As a result, it can be installed alongside Firefox or any other browser. No phoning home — Embedded server links and other calling home functions are removed. In other words, minimal background connections by default. User settings updates Extensions firewall: limit internet access for extensions. Multi-platform (Windows/Linux/Mac/and soon Android) Community-Driven Dark theme (classic and advanced) LibreWolf privacy features: Delete cookies and website data on close. Include only privacy respecting search engines like DuckDuckGo and Searx. Include uBlockOrigin with custom default filter lists, and Tracking Protection in strict mode, to block trackers and ads. Strip tracking elements from URLs, both natively and through uBO. Enable dFPI, also known as Total Cookie Protection. Enable RFP which is part of the Tor Uplift project. RFP is considered the best in class anti-fingerprinting solution, and its goal is to make users look the same and cover as many metrics as possible, in an effort to block fingerprinting techniques. Always display user language as en-US to websites, in order to protect the language used in the browser and in the OS. Disable WebGL, as it is a strong fingerprinting vector. Prevent access to the location services of the OS, and use Mozilla's location API instead of Google's API. Limit ICE candidates generation to a single interface when sharing video or audio during a videoconference. Force DNS and WebRTC inside the proxy, when one is being used. Trim cross-origin referrers, so that they don't include the full URI. Disable link prefetching and speculative connections. Disable disk cache and clear temporary files on close.
