Nicomo Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 2 hours ago, Brewskies said: KC offense disappeared right at the start of the second half and stay like that for the 2nd half. Why I have zero ideas, total surprise. I thought for a while it was overconfidence at the beginning of the 2nd half, but after one series of down, it kept repeating. We (I’m a Bengals fan) did the exact same thing to them in week 17. The Chiefs only scored 3 points in the 2nd half of both our matchups with them this season. Major credit has to go to the coaches for making proper halftime adjustments to shut them down. We were only rushing 3 and dropping 8 into coverage for much of the 2nd half. We had a couple coverage sacks late in the game where Mahomes literally had an eternity before our pass rush got to him, but the DB’s did a great job on Tyreek Hill, Kelce, and the rest of the Chiefs playmakers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has been a long time for Bengal fans. I wish you and them good luck. I would rather see an AFC team win than NFC. Go Bengals. BTW, I never mention the great job the Bengals did in the second half to shut down the KC Offense. Congrats to the Bengals half time defense adjustment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell, most people in LA don’t even care about the Rams. The NFCCG was basically a 49ers home game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevsMan84 Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 Looks like Protec Hockey Ponds in Somerset, NJ are closing for good on March 6th. I pass by every time I go to the office so it stinks to hear that. The building was sold by the owner per their official account. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard last summer that a new owner was stepping to the plate to keep it open, I hope that’s still the case. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the new owners, from what I understand, has an interest in at least one minor pro hockey team. I'd have to look it up for more details. I was happy to see a crowded parking lot. No new name on the bldg yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mfitz804 Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Finally got around to watching The Many Saints of Newark today. Did people like this movie? Aside from the Sopranos tie in, it would not have held my interest at all. There’s barely any coherent story line, the characters are not very interesting, and it really feels like it was a giant waste of two hours.

And I disagree that the characters weren’t interesting. I thought Dickie was. Vera Farmiga as Livia was the highlight for me though. A couple things at the end that really hit hard Spoiler First that it was Junior that killed Dickie out of pure pettiness. Completely on brand for him, but still pretty fvcked up. Also, the fact that Dickie had the medicine for Livia on him when he got killed. Tony desperately wanting to help his mom was really heartbreaking. Overall, it was nothing spectacular, and nowhere close to the quality of the series, but it was a solid gangster story set in that universe, imo. I would watch a follow up with Michael Gandolfini if they made one. Edited February 22, 2022 by Nicomo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She is the highlight of anything she is ever in, she is an incredible actress. The question I asked myself was, would this movie have stood alone if not for the Sopranos content, and the decision I came to was that it would not.

I thought it would have been better as a mini series or something where they could have fleshed the characters out a bit. Some of the ages also didn’t make sense. As mentioned by Nicomo though I really liked the twist at the end and thought it put an interesting dynamic into the original show. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in the movie it’s Dickie and his wife. Now - I guess it’s possible the writers just want us to assume Janice remembered the details wrong, but it was still a bit weird.

DevsMan84 Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 The Many Saints of Newark should 100% have been a series. The movie felt rushed in general and was just OK overall. I could overlook the issues with the ages of the characters, but it was hampered by trying to cram hours worth of storytelling into a 2 hour movie. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicomo Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 Got my tickets to see The Batman for this weekend. Just finished Chris Stuckmann’s review, and he was absolutely raving about it. I’m hyped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
