    49ers are just shooting themselves in the foot left and right. Otherwise they look like the clearly better team so far. Just giving the Chiefs opportunities like this.

    thought they were better on paper, and Chiefs couldn't afford to lose players on the line on both sides. But Mahomes, Kelce and Andy Reid can't be discounted.

  2. it looks great. the lighting and cinematography are excellent (I know I will get strong disagreement there), and I catch myself stopping to appreciate how technically proficient the work is, to keep figures well illuminated and focused, but yet convey the overbearing sense of darkness and isolation. that's all I've got. at this point, it would be better if the show fully committed to the supernatural bit, because it's just a mess at this point. reminds me of WestWorld that way; writers trying desperately to say something smart and deep, and just failing

    Hey asshole, Black Sails was never "low brow." stellar writing and acting. One of the few shows where the characters stay true to who they are and the plot follows throughout. Apologize for putting it in the same sentence as fucking Spartacus. 

    I agree with you. But that's how it was considered. Toby Stephens should have been nominated for something.

    Spartacus, the earlier seasons, was good. Beneath the ridiculous amount of gore and T&A, you could tell there was real talent in the writing.

  4. wasn't this one of Amazon's best performing shows? whoever said upthread that it's a superhero show is correct. it devolved into the kind of bad everything where you just give up and try to enjoy it for the ridiculousness that it is

    I miss the days of when "low brow" stuff was Banshee, Spartacus and Black Sails.

    Going into the Washington game the media acted like our D-line was going to get tons of pressure. That was never our strength. Our strength was run defense, not pressuring the QB.

    Thats why we lost. We couldn’t get pressure on him (and sark wouldn’t run the damn ball). 

    When you can pressure, it makes your secondary look like Michigan’s does tonight. Not that they aren’t really good—they are. But I’ll bet Muhammad starts looking like Will Johnson if Simmons and co. can start bringing a pass rush.

    Johnson is not a lockdown corner, but he is good enough, along with the rest of the defense to make enough plays. It really is a team win, the entire year
