I hope this is good, especially with The Killing and Game of Thrones done Sunday. I just worry about TNT putting out a solid non-cheesy show. Then again, it's about the only thing going to be on TV for me till Breaking Bad starts in a month, and Weeds.

I've been slowly getting more and more excited for this show, but I'm keeping my expectations low (I've been burned too many times by sci-fi shows that either suck or that I get invested in only to have them cancled).

I read this article earlier that got me pretty pumped for the show http://io9.com/5812883/why-falling-skies-breaks-the-mold-of-alien-invasion-shows

Well, in regards to cancellation, at least it's on cable, where expected ratings aren't close to as high as network TV. At least on cable you usually get at least a full season.

That is true, TNT gave Dark Blue two seasons. It's hard the get cancelled on TNT after one season.

yeah it was done pretty well, there are a bit too many stereotypes in character and situations but the writing was really good and they managed to generate some scary moments.

Yeah the scene where his son (the scout) was in the river bank and then all the "mechs" start marching toward him was a pretty awesome.

      TNF: Rams/Seahawks

      I think the book has been fairly written on Darnold, and by and large stays true. He can be rattled by pressure, and will lose his composure. If a team can get to him and have something go wrong in the plan, the mistakes and errors will pile up. Rams have a better offense, Seahawks sport a better defense. Should be a good 1.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Mr. Scot · Posted

      Not a defense of him...an understanding of the problem. (something you seem to be lacking right now) 🙄 Bryce in a Canales offense is not an example of a stylistic mismatch, but I can give you one if that helps. When he was playing for the Panthers, Cam Newton sat under OC's running Coryell type offenses. Newton had a big arm and was a strong runner. He fit into that sort of attack very well. Then he goes to New England, where at the time they were running an Earhardt-Perkins system (similar to WCO In a lot of what they do but very different terminology). The Patriot offenses back then were heavily based on timing and rhythm style passing, not something that Newton was especially well suited for. So he washed out at New England, not because he had poor ability (his abilities had been on display here on a regular basis) but because he didn't fit what they wanted to do with their offense. I always go back to Jeff Garcia as one of the prime examples of this issue. Garcia in a WCO looked like a world beater. Put him in any other scheme though...yikes!  So again, Young's issues here have nothing to do with any failure to mesh with Canales. Hell, is say Canales has actually done pretty well at adapting his system to who he has rather than trying to jam square pegs into round holes. Again, it doesn't take an elite level of football knowledge to get this. It's pretty basic. But if you're not even capable of understanding what the real problem is, how are you going to know you to find the right solution? 🤔
