    I've been looking for something like that for a long time - a good combat flight simulator, especially from either the WWI or WWII eras. 

     

    I play on an Xbox One, and have been playing The Elder Scrolls Online exclusively for the last 3 or 4 years. I added the Morrowind expansion from a year or so ago, and on Tuesday the new Summerset expansion drops.

     

    It's too hot around here in the summer to do much of anything else, anyway.

     

    Did you ever play TES III Morrowind, TES IV Oblivion, or TES V Skyrim?

     

    found them much more enjoyable than TES online

    Second, who the heck does this guy think he is that he can weasel his thoughts and ideas upon the Giants and Bills

     

    Let their owners do what they want, don’t try to play some moral high ground

     

    you listen to the owners and their rules at work. Freedom of speech, Press, assembly Doesn’t apply lol

    I've got a Tre jersey, first jersey I've ever purchased. Now a Harrison Phillips jersey is looking pretty tempting as well ...

     

    Just how old are you if I may?

     

    never a Bruce,Kelly, Thurman, Freddie, OJ, Reed?

     

    Harrison Phillips is looking tempting but no meatball??

     

    Tre is a stud and hopefully you get 10+ years out of it

    Question about seat views

    I want to take my son, who is 16, to his first game this year.  We are planning on going to the Tennessee game and will be traveling from MA.  I am hoping to get tickets somewhere in the 131-136 sections.  Being that it is his first game, I want to get as close to the field as possible.  However, I don't want to have our view blocked by all the equipment and media personnel that stand on the field.  Can anyone tell me if this tends to be a problem if seats are too close to the field?  If so, what is a safe row to move back to? 

     

    Best seats I ever had were 20 rows up and 50 yard line

    He was getting paid to cover and stay healthy... The old quote Deion never made a tackle he didn’t have too lol

     

    doesn't take away from his coverage skills

    $19 a month is for people like us. The teams pay a lot more and get a lot more data.

     

    Right, PFF aren't perfect talent evaluators. But probably a lot better than all the folks who don't do it for a living and talk about how people pass or don't pass the eye test for them.

    "To be fair, PFF has come a long way since 2013, so much so that it’s now widely used by NFL teams and players. It’s good to see the Bengals are among them. PFF, while not perfect, is easily the best source of advanced analytics that accurately measures a player’s abilities in the NFL. In a 2015 article, Collinsworth told The MMQB 13 NFL teams were using PFF’s team-specific subscription service and in 2016 he said they were up to 24 teams. So, the Bengals are not alone in using PFF for data mining."

    Two of dozens of articles I've seen about it.

     

    They definitely have been getting Better but they are hit and miss with some players and their ratings

     

    though I guess we are all wrong sometimes. Their purpose is great for hardcore fans. It’s over analyzed stats and metrics. And amateur draft gurus can use it to Track prospects 

     

    but ive never met a scout that started the conversation with , so I was checking PFF last night ...

     

    but it I hear your argument. They are a sound younger company driven in a technology world

    You're right. That's why nobody knows which players in the NFL are good. Nobody knows the play calls, line calls, route combinations and individual jobs on plays, so nobody knows which players are any good.

     

    PFF is very good. They aren't perfect, of course ... nobody is. And they're better at rating certain positions than others. But they're painstaking, careful and professional. 

     

    Many NFL teams buy PFF data to use. They don't do that because PFF suck.

     

    But predicting how guys will transition between college and the pros is projection, not simply observing and understanding. Even the NFL teams themselves aren't all that good at it, though they're better than anyone else.

     

    They are good at collecting data. It can be worth 19 dollars a month to a team. That’s nothing 

     

    You don’t need a grade on a player to see if he is good. If you go to games and watch games you can form your own opinions on players. Scouts form their own opinions with their eyes not PFF data

     

    yes it’s all about projection

     

    though they are good at collecting data. They aren’t perfect talent evaluators by any means

    Is this really true?  Wondering which teams, and how it is known.

     

    I’ve heard some teams may have a subscription. But it’s like 20 bucks a month so that’s nothing for an nfl team 

     

    they are using it for the metrics and stats they track not player grades
